    CONSTANTINE (2005) was good, actually.
    Jun 3 2022

    Bisexual fantasy fullfilment anyone? Monica and Zenaida watch Constantine (2005) and can't shut up about Rachel Weisz's face, Keanu Reeves' monster hands, and Tilda Swinton's slick enby fashion. There's demons and stuff, too, I guess. And feet. A whole lotta wet feet. Tarred feet, too, if that tickles you. We don't kink shame here.

    Let's talk about GUILLERMO DEL TORO, actually.
    May 20 2022

    You good, Memo? Monica and Zenaida are Guillermo del Toro evangelists, but when we watched Nightmare Alley (2021) something didn't sit right. We try to put our finger on what went amiss in this VULNERABLE special episode, a RISKY departure from our WELL-ESTABLISHED form that's sure to alienate long-time listeners.

    We return to our hackneyed genre fan-girling in the next episode.

    Zenaida quotes articles from the LA Times and The Independent. DRAG HER.

    CRIMSON PEAK (2015) was good, actually.
    May 6 2022

    It's the one that started this whole thang: Monica and Zenaida get all gushy over Guillermo Del Toro's wildly underrated gothic romance Crimson Peak (2015). Like REAL gushy. We gush like loose eggs in Jessica Chastain's pale fingers. She won the Oscar for the wrong movie - @ us!

    JUPITER ASCENDING (2015) was good, actually.
    Apr 22 2022

    Fan fic passions run amok with an insane budget: it's Jupiter Ascending (2015)! The Wachowski sisters peered into the Universe's soul and found Monica's essence distilled into an immortality bath with a shot of Omegaverse. Can Monica convince Zenaida to open her dusty, crusty, sci-fi-loving-but-kinda-pretentious heart to it?

    THIR13EN GHOSTS (2001) was good, actually.
    Apr 9 2022

    The film so destined to be a vice they named it twice: Monica and Zenaida watched Thir13en Ghosts (2001). Dutch angles + Matthew Lillard's spittle + light-up plastic accessories = peak Y2K alt aesthetic in a horror/sci-fi box. You're welcome, Steve Beck stans.

    RAVENOUS (1999) was good, actually.
    Mar 25 2022

    Monica & Zenaida are hungee for camp, blood, and tearing down American colonialsm. We watched cannibalist classic Ravenous (1999) directed by Antoina Bird. Homoerotic AF. Haven't you ever wanted someone inside you so much you gotta eat 'em? #relatable

    Introducing IT WAS GOOD, ACTUALLY: a film podcast by Monica and Zenaida, two Seattle artists and genre fans watching movies together and barking about it. In this intro we talk about ourselves, some of our comfort-watch movies, and who the f*** this show is for.

    Follow us on IG @itwasgoodactuallypod and experience our rotted movie tastes through the dental dam of some headphones. Because if you're gonna put this shit in your ears, you might as well be safe about it.
