"We're so cute I wanna punch us in the face." We watched Gone Girl (2014) with our friend Donovan Marcotte and are straight people ok? Listen, we get it, cheating on your spouse is not ok... but girl, take it easy! We take a deep dive into the mystery that is Ben Affleck - some of us (Pete) would risk it all for a chance at him, while others (Donovan) would risk it all for a chance to punch him in the face. Both reasonable options. We are also Very here for Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) and her never ending quest to destroy her mediocre, layabout, cheating husband. We support womens rights but we also support womens wrongs. (Thanks Donovan for that one) "You think you'd be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby! I'm it."

"Release the Kraken!" We watched Clash of the Titans (1981) with our friend Darren Elms and we're ready to face Medusa! This Sword and Sandals epic may be from the early '80s but the cast, the costumes and the classic stop motion effects make you think twice (was it made in the '60s?). Heavily rerun throughout our youth we got to know Harry Hamiln's Perseus on his quest to defeat the gorgon Medusa and the "titan" the Kraken and we certainly got to know that body-ody-dy. But it's the women in this cast that made us revisit this movie every time. No one plays a woman scorned like Dame Maggie Smith as Thetis against Sir Laurence Olivier's mighty Zeus. The pantheon of Olympians in this movie is mostly women and they are fierce. Come on - Ursula Andress as Aphrodite! The ethereral Judi Bowker as Andromeda and Siân Phillips as her mother Cassiopeia are serving it up on a platter and the Stygian Witches are giving gruesome threesome first time in drag on Halloween. Throw in Pegasus, a little clockwork owl who speaks in whistles (and definitely isn't an R2-D2 ripoff) and the scariest incarnation of Medusa put on film and you have yourself a charming, nostalgic and super fun time.

“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. The body count in drastically lowered but the action set pieces are just as amazing. And speaking of Daryl Hannah – we learn how Elle Driver lost her eye, we get some great dialogue between her and Budd (Michael Madsen) and that fight scene… MTV movie award winner for Best Fight 2005 indeed!

“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 Liu are all serves. We talk about all the film references that Tarantino drew on when creating his hightened cinimeatic world the Bride lives in, how Uma should have made the best actress lineup, and what is it about the first volume that resonates with us the most. We'll be covering Vol. 2 next week!

"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 would be some major issues with the casting - Robin being straight and Hank Azaria being... not latin. But there is an authenticity to Robin's performance that the four of us as card-carrying gay men really appreciated. The heavy-hitter supporting cast really knocks this movie out of the park. Gene Hackman and Diane Wiest were bringing the laughs as the ultra conservative in-laws and Christine Baranski is gold - per usual. Mix in drag queens, Miami Beach street scenes full of scantily clad muscle dudes and jokes on jokes on jokes and you've got yourself a hit. If there was any justice in this world Nathan Lane would have gotten an Oscar for this performance. "Oh God, I pierced the toast!"

"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 suddently a Christmas song? Listen, theres a reason pop stars are giving up residuals to include samples of these songs - the music slaps and it will just make your music better (we're looking at you Gwen Stafani and Ariana Grande). Aside from Julie Andrews, AND the iconic music we are also here to talk about one miss Eleanor Parker as The Baroness. While Julie is serving humble beginnings and dresses evern the poor don't want, Eleanor Parker invented glamour and is forever the Queen of looks. Aboslutely no notes. This movie may be pushing three hours, but we don't care - it flies by. The last act might be a little uncomfortable to get through for modern audiences and we get it, but Christopher Plummer sees that flag hanging above his door, yanks it down and rips it to shreds with his bare hands. Icon.

"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 in. At times it really plays like a live action updated Little Mermaid but some of the best moments come from what the script doesnt tell us. Did Madison make a deal with a Sea Witch to get her legs? Will Allen get a tail if stays with Madison? Did the events in Freddie's letters to Penthouse Forum really happen? Ron Howard trusted the audience to fill in the blanks and Splash is a better movie for it. And by the way - Disey+ removed the weird CGI hair extensions so we can marvel at Daryl's bum - as Ron always intended.

"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 was released we may not have grasped the high concept story line or the deep mythology of the show but we sure as hell loved watching Scully and Mulder on the silver screen. And don't get us started on that kiss! (Check out the deleted/extended scenes on youtube - you can thank us later). We talk about our history with the show, our feelings on the sequel and of course since Ashley is joining us we talk about some spooky, weird, strange and unusual phenomenon. Get ready for a paranormal journey to the late 90s because the truth is out there!
