    War Games (w/ Rafe from Have Not Seen This)

    🖥️A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. Matthew Broderick + Ally Sheedy = 3 . I sit down with Rafe from the Have Not See This Podcast, as we discuss 1983's WarGames/ One of us has never seen it before, and the other one of us literally lived through the Cold War.

  4. E.T (w/ A.J from She's So Reel)

    10/21/2024

    E.T (w/ A.J from She's So Reel)

    👽Be good. When Richard Attenborough stood up to collect the Best Picture award for Ghandi at the 1983 Oscars, before going up to the podium, he went over to Steven Spielberg, hugged him and said "this isn't right, this should be yours." Arguably one of the greatest family movies of all time, iconic in every sense of the word. I sit down with the wonderful AJ from She's So Reel podcast and discuss E.T: The Extra Terrestrial. Who DOESN'T like this movie??

    Brenda Starr (w/Casey Edison)

    📝I've had it! Who the heck do you think you are? Brenda Starr. Feminist Icon. I'm joined by the wonderful Casey, whose chosen movie is Brenda Starr (1989) - a plucky journalist who'd do anything for that story! Lost to the sands of time (possibly thanks to Nirvana), but a super fun watch! JEEPERS!

    Annie (w/Grace from No Small Rolls )

    🧹 Little girls, little girls, everywhere I turn I can see them. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows? Or one of the most enjoyable musicals ever made? I sit down with Grace as we make our way through Annie (1982). From musical theatre royalty to racist stereotypes, this movie pretty much has everything!

  8. The Pagemaster (w/Ben from Conversation Hat)

    The Pagemaster (w/Ben from Conversation Hat)

    📚I was nearly torn to shreds by a crazy doctor, I was made a slave to a bunch of mangy pirates, and eaten. Got that? Eaten by a fire-breathing dragon! Delve into your grandparents VHS cupboard. Hidden behind the war movies for grandad and sean bean for gran is The Pagemaster. Re-Live the 0% of plot and dodgy animation in this, the most honest, true attempt to get kids to read in the 90's.
