    A Christmas movie (Lindsey's version)

    Guess who’s back? Not just us, with our first ever guest host Jenna, but a GLOWING Lindsay Lohan in Falling for Christmas, that is magnificent in all the ways only a Christmas movie can be. Will Lindsey Lohan fall for Christmas, or will she fall this Christmas? We'll break down flannel shirts, christmas cheer, and why Christmas movies are like K-dramas. Have we mentioned its Christmas? Let us know your favourite Christmas movie at: criticalclichespodcast@gmail.com

    Let's call it what it is, a masterpiece: turning red

    We are Turning Red for this period piece, good vibes all around. We love being seen by movies, especially with such specific insight into the overwhelming wonderfully cringe confusion that is being a teenage girl. Listen to us rave about Turning Red, our favourite girl gang movie in a while. Be aware, spoilers ahead!

    A jolly, bolly(wood) time

    8 year olds should not be responsible for anyones happiness, first loves are unrealistic, and all dramatic scenes are made better with wind and rain. Vidya, the veteran Bollywood fan, watches in glee as Elisabeth goes through every emotion in the book and finds out, literally, what the song and dance is all about. Join us for our longest episode yet (fitting) as we cover Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (K3G). p.s. we do speed through the descriptions of these 3 hour movies, it's not a glitch.  This episode was recorded at *SCAPE Live Studios' The Pod, powered by Audio-Technica and City Music.

    Welcome to the Bat Parade

    **Spoilers** Brooding Batman is our favourite batman. Unless it's driving a car recklessly against oncoming traffic cinematically, which is just irresponsible. Also maybe just use Google Translate next time?  Shout out to our first contribution from Friend of the Pod, Gerald.

    It's not stupid: the I Not Stupid review

    Terry’s dad is a vibe, kidnappers and judging people based on grades are NOT a vibe, and behind every movie tiger mum is a dad who should know better.

    Hallelujah for Shrek!

    SomeBODY once told me the world was macaroni. The ogre is the knight in shining armour, the damsel is not in distress, the world is topsy turvy. It's not just a movie, it's a film. Let us know your favourite Shrek song from the soundtrack at criticalclichespodcast@gmail.com

    To All the Ghibli Films I've Loved Before

    Spoilers ahead, listen at your own risk. Flying is exercise, and pigeons know no fear. Cats. Singapore is no Narnia. All comedy is tragic. This is our love letter to all the Ghibli films we've loved before (in particular Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart). *cue Kim Possible ringtone* Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me: criticalclichespodcast@gmail.com  This episode was recorded at *SCAPE Live Studios' The Pod, powered by Audio-Technica and City Music.

    Keeping Up with Shang Chi: A Family Drama

    (spoilers!) E saw it coming, but wishes bluetooth wasn't a thing. V drinks white chocolate mocha to channel Kim K. Ruined shirts are mourned. Katy is secretly good at everything. Captain America should talk louder. Wenwu should have gone to therapy. Join us in the chaos as we break down the cliches in this Marvel release.
