Ep. 64 - CARRIEs On My RAGEward One
As Carrie White and Rachel Lang will tell you, sometimes the only way to deal with abusive parents and high school bullies is a good ol' fashioned telekinetic rampage ending in blood and flames! Jon and Shady take a look at Carrie (1976), widely regarded as a classic even by Stephen King himself, and The Rage: Carrie 2, which is... fine? Other topics of discussion include a brief definition of the term "legacyquel," the tragic fate of a sympathetic monster, and the bizarre landscape of late '90s fashion and music trends. One topic Shady manages to avoid: The Rage stars Succession's J. Smith-Cameron (Gerri Kellman) as Rachel's mom!

Ep. 63 - Rough Girls Night Trip
The summer of 2017 brought us both Rough Night and Girls Trip, two comedies about college friends reuniting for a vacation that gets a little more wild than planned. But does the presence of one dead body create enough of a distinction between the two movies? Jon and Shady might eventually get around to answering that question, if they don't get distracted talking about sitcoms and planning their own hypothetical New Orleans trip for too long.

Ep. 61 - Iron Gun
Iron Eagle and Top Gun may have inspired Jon and Shady to blast power ballads and feather their hair, but did they actually entice them into enlisting in the Air Force or the Navy? No. No, they did not. But despite some heavy criticisms, these brave civilians dig in to '80s flicks built up strong enough fanbases to justify three Iron Eagle sequels for and the long-awaited legacyquel Top Gun: Maverick.

Ep. 60 - The Freaky Hot Chick
Jon and Shady need a pick-me-up after last week's episode unexpectedly turned into a bummer. Are body swap comedies The Hot Chick and Freaky up to the task? Will their handling of gender identity and expression be more illuminating than offensive? How do their romantic storylines stack up against each other? And, most importantly, will Shady be able to resist her love for extremely dumb turn-of-the-millennium humor before Jon loses all respect for her?

Ep. 59 - Vonnie/Varla
Victor/Victoria and Connie & Carla definitely aren't the worst movies ever featured on this podcast, but boy oh boy (badum tss) are they the last movies anyone needs to be watching these days. Jon and Shady vent their frustrations as they discuss the ways these movies navigate gender expression and sexuality -- and whether or not the cishet dudes in charge of America in 1982 and 2004 had any influence on why they were produced in the first place. At least the musical numbers are really good!

Customer Reviews
Fantastic blend of charm & knowledge!
Film podcasts tend to either repeat verbatim tired online trivia nuggets or let personality-heavy hosts run wildly off-topic. Jon and Shady converse about movies in a way that goes beyond the obvious while always highlighting what makes these films fun. Here’s to many more episodes to come!
Check it out, Barbara.
Jon and Shady are smart, witty and have delightful banter. They do their research and you can tell they’re passionate about the movies they’re talking about. They put a lot of work into this podcast and you can tell. Very enjoyable and a perfect podcast to listen to for the upcoming spooky season!
