This week we bring you a charming story of two old school friends reconnecting later in life after one of them has transitioned. Along the way there are run-ins with law enforcement, problematic family dynamics and duplicitous coworkers.

The "priest" they called him. and they were correct. He was a priest. And spoiler: He's gay. Because it is the month in which we acknowledge the existence of things outside of the heteronormative. Here we have Linus Roache, Tom Wilkinson, Cathy Tyson and many other terrific supporting actors from the UK that I haven't heard of before. This movie swings for the fences. Does it send it out of the park? Baseball. +++++Theme by Professor Ping available on BandcampOutro: Diamanda Galas performing...

At long last, dear listeners, we bring you a film made famous by Paul Rudd. A movie bank-rolled by Golden State Foods and Coke-a-Cola and yet looks worse than many a indie project.

What happens when Ralph Bakshi mixes live action with animation in a post Roger Rabbit universe? We examine the result: Cool World (1992). Too much toon, too little cohesion, and a nice soundtrack. Plus: circus peanuts, Freakazoid, Signal's former porny gif problem and Z still hates Al Pacino.

Starting off a month of movies that we wonder why they got made or think they probably shouldn't have, we bring you Blame in on Rio (1984). Based on a French film from 1977, but... porque why?

Real quick: here's a move from the late 90's about a band that was big in the 70's mounting a reunion tour and having to face some demons in the process.

Based on the novel of the same name, Waiting to Exhale (1995) follows the romantic travails of four Black women in Scottsdale, AZ. Sporting a powerhouse lead ensemble with Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston, Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon and impressive supporting work from the likes of Michael Beech, Mykelti Williams, Dennis Haysbert and Gregory Hines to name but a few.

Welcome, dear listener, to February. We are starting things of with a film neither of us had encountered before, A Rage in Harlem (1991). Loosely based on the Chester Himes novel of the same name and directed by Bill Duke, it's a love story of sorts, a heist movie, a buddy comedy, and other stuff too! Thoroughly enjoyable throughout.

Wrapping on Jameuary we revisit the 90's classic romcom/Western military hegemony, True Lies (1994). Just a lot of misogyny masquerading as romance and uh i guess... spycraft? this film wastes so much of the talents on hand.  To lighten the mood, we touch on such topics as legislative applications of religious doctrine, abuse on set, tales in ID-ing, plus we revisit the Legend of the Sonny Edits. Anyway, see you in February! Kisses Let the Quran Speak | Dr Jasser Auda on...

Here, dear reader, listener, lover, we bring you a movie full of wasted talents. A tale as threadbare and tedious as any we've discussed before. It askes the hard questions of "can a woman with a gun be a victim?" or "can a man get away with it?" and "is murder a justifiable punishment for sexual assault?" So, y'know heavy trigger warnings for this one. Take care of yourselves out there. How One Movie Killed the 1980's | Patrick (H) Willems +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on...

Oh shit- it's season 5! and another year! We're starting off with a month of Jamie Lee (become a patron to find out how come) and this little movie that we'd never heard of is nice little bit of turn-of-the-decade upper-middle class paranoia/psychosexual family thriller. Of course, you'll be reminded of Fatal Attraction, Poison Ivy, Single White Female -- basically any other "crazy b-word" film of the time -- but this one has Jamie Lee. Thanks for sticking with us! ++++ Intro: Moebius...

Well dear listeners, here we have come to the end of another season together. To close it out, we bring you a foreign film in a foreign land: Three Fugitives (1989) We find the unlikely duo of Nick Nolte and Martin Short forced to team up to evade police and save Short's little girl. Naturally, many many hijinks are had. We also discuss physical acting theory and Cpt. Janeway's hairpiece. Plus we try to summarize our feelings about season 4.

Heyo- This week we bring you a film that's long been on our list: Postcards from the Edge (1990). Based on Carrie Fischer's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, the movie follows a middle-aged daughter of a famous actress who is herself an actress struggling to find herself while also navigating addiction, the industry, horrible men and her mother. You will also hear about Keith's long lost connection to the industry, hot takes on Australians, CCH Pounder's accent and iceberg...
