“I've killed a hell of a lot of people to get to this point, but I have only one more. The last one. The one I'm driving to right now. The only one left. And when I arrive at my destination, I am gonna kill Bill.” We watched “Kill Bill: Volume 2” with our friend Nikolas Romero and you and I have unfinished business. Originally planned as one long movie but split in two for various reasons, Volume 2 stands apart from Volume 1 in so many ways. In Vol 1 Uma Thurman’s “The Bride” went on a stylized, gore filled killing spree, while here, her focus shifts from revenge to reuniting with her daughter ..read more

“Revenge is a dish best served cold” - Old Klingon proverb We got to our first Quentin Tarantino film on the podcast, and we picked the one movie of his filmography the queer community can all agree on. Kill Bill Vol. 1!  Uma Thurman kicks major butt here, and it's one of the most iconic female roles of the 2000s. After an assassin is betrayed on her wedding day, she awakes from a coma, and goes after her fellow assasins who betrayed her. Seriously the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad DiVAS is filled out with equally fierce women we are obessed with. Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, and Lucy ..read more

"I was adorable once, young and full of hope. And now look at me! I'm this short, fat, insecure, middle-aged THING!" We watched "The BIrdcage" (1996) with our friends Garrett Clayton and Blake Knight and ju can't handle our Guatemalan-ness! How exactly did it take us over 200 episodes to get to this queer classic?! Well we're finally here and hey, we just gave you an excuse to rewatch this gem. You're welcome. Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are bringing the laughs with these performances and man we were quoting and lol'ing all the way through. Listen it's not lost on us that in 2024 there woul ..read more

"What is it you can't face?" We watched "The Sound of Music" from 1965 with our friend Mitchell Anderson and we could never answer to a whistle! Whether you grew up in a "The Sound of Music" house, a "Mary Poppins" house, or both we all grew up with a song in our hearts thanks to the legendary, the one and only Dame Julie Andrews. Even if you (sadly) didn't come up watching this movie you most likely know ALL the songs - they're built into the fabric of our culture whether you like it or not. Was "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" in a shampoo commercial? Why exactly is "My Favorite Things" now sudd ..read more

"How is she? She's... she's a *mermaid*! I don't understand. All my life, I've been waiting for someone, and when I find her, she's a fish." We watched "Splash"(1984) directed by Ron Howard and we wish, we wish, we wish we were a fish.  Tom Hanks really earns his reputation as the "everyman" in this movie and his chemistry with the ethereal Daryl Hannah is off the charts. They just don't make fantasy movies like they did in the '80s.  The script is still funny as hell with Hanks and John Candy playing so well off each other as brothers and Hannah's Madison stealing every scene she's ..read more

"Five years together, Scully. How many times have I been wrong? Never!" We watched "The X Files: Fight the Future" with our friend Ashley Casseday, co-host of the podcast Keep it Weird, and we want to believe!!  The X Files was really a moment in time in which young people across the land thought to themselves "I may not have been sure about my sexuality up until this point - but from now on my sexual orientation is the cast of this show." Look, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny as Dana Scully and Fox Mulder are queer icons and we will not be taking any questions. When The X FIles movie ..read more

"I never try anything. I just do it. And I don't beat clocks, just people! Wanna try me?" We watched the Russ Meyer classic "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" with our friend Darren Stein and we're all shook up baby! It's the 25th anniversary of one of our favorite films - "Jawbreaker" so we just had to have writer/director Darren Stein back on our show and it was dealers choice. In this house we love bad girls, so Darren's suggestion of this B-Movie T&A classic fits right in.  We try not to spend the entire length of the pod talking about how we wish we could be an ounce as cool as the i ..read more

"Now clear your minds. It knows what scares you. It has from the very beginning. Don't give it any help, it knows too much already. Now, open the door." It's our season six premiere and we watched "Poltergeist" from 1982 and this house is clean! Poltergeist may very well be the definition of "Mama Slay Cinema" with JoBeth Williams, Beatrice Straight and the legendary Zelda Rubinstein bustin' ghosts and saving the children from the other side. Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper re-wrote the haunted house trope bringing it to a brand new house in a sleepy  suburb and a generation never looked ..read more

“But enough about me, let's talk about you... what do you think of me?” We watched "Beaches" (1988) with special guest author Berkley Brady and we're almost out of hankies. It's our Season 5 finale and we;re just about to take a few weeks off, but before we do we wanted to gift our listeners with our review of this classic dramedy featuring legendary performances by Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. Directed by Garry Marshall (impressions abound in the episode) Beaches portrays the lifelong friendship of CC Bloom and HIllary Whitney through the ups and downs of their lives and careers. We brea ..read more

"You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!" We watched "The Holiday" (2006) with our friend Michael Morgan and we've got a rustic English cottage available if anyone wants to swap houses.  Does this Christmas themed, Nancy Meyers directed rom-com really need to be over two full hours? If you're into cottage-core and mid-aughts Jude Law then the answer is a resounding YES. Maybe this movie is a bit over-long, but our four leads Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and Law are charming and Meyers gifted us with a movie house we've been lusting after since we ..read more
