*Recorded October 28th, 2024* Another classic you can't believe Kat has never seen? Yep! Don't worry, she was on the edge of her seat and screaming at the tv just like she would have in the theater. Charlie is still looking at her sideways AND what IS up with the milk thing? This movie is basically GOATed - what more is there to say, really?

We love our dead gay son! Except instead of dead, he’s alive, and he’s our dog. FOLKS! It’s another cult classic (and of course, a Kat pick) with ‘Heathers’ — one of the most quotable, insane teenage satires ever made. It has something for everyone: hot, young Christian Slater; hot, young Winona Ryder — it’s got it all, and would never, ever be made again (except in a broadway musical, where apparently anything goes!) And if you hate the movie? Drop a comment! Seriously, we love to argue...

Are you guys ready for some invasive facials? We know we are! Alien Romulus is chronologically in order (in the story) after 'Alien', so it's fitting that this is our next episode for BMFF: Spooky Season! Charlie's got some strong opinions, Kat corrects herself from last episode on which creature she actually finds attractive. And Bug is also there, of course. We're three little guys in a trench coat! --- Support this podcast:...

Kat's goldfish-brain strikes again! Just know there's a large section of this where she mixes up 'Predators' with 'Alien vs Predator' and it's all very confusing. We love Sigourney as the Final Girl (TM) in this gay awakening for many, many bisexuals. And Bilbo Baggins can suck it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/be-mean-fast-forward/support

Talk about a SIC movie--eh? Eh??? Ok, sorry. This is one of the first movies where we actually get OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS. Truly a breakthrough for our two hosts who are sickeningly in love and never argue enough. CIA? FBI? DOD? BUG? What do these all stand for?

WHAT'S IN THE BOX? Finally I have an answer that isn't from an old Vine from 2012. Continuing our Fincher kick, we're watching 'SE7EN'. It's like 'Sk8er Boi' except...not. Anyway, Finch-Heads ASSEMBLE! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/be-mean-fast-forward/support

CALLING ALL FINCH-HEADS: We're doing a classic today folks, David Fincher's ZODIAC. It's the actor olympics! Jakey, Robbie, Marky, Johnny, and Goose! We're all close friends, but JCL does give me the creeps. I want everyone to take special note of the visuals on this episode--graphic design is our passion. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/be-mean-fast-forward/support

The D is silent, hillbilly. To kick off our first ever FILMED podcast episode, we wanted to go with a BANGER. Who among us doesn't want to watch Christoph Waltz being a little weirdo for a few hours? Quentin loves it, and so do we. Please keep an eye out for multiple Bug "the Pug" cameos -- we're scared the fame might go to his head, but what are you gonna do when you have that much star power? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/be-mean-fast-forward/support

(Recorded on April 14th, 2024) Uh-oh! Looks like we taped a culturally relevant and weirdly prophetic pod weeks before something major happened to our reality! Don’t you hate it when that happens? Nick Offerman steps on our freedoms and Kirsten Dunst steps on our necks- it's the controversial ‘Civil War’ by Alex Garland! We love discussing totally hypothetical stories about governmental unrest. Totally. --- Support this podcast:...

The year was 2003, and Kat’s world was about to be forever changed - finally the episode we’ve all (mainly Kat) been waiting for! Uptown Girls! Did Dakota Fanning deserve an Oscar nom for her performance? Absolutely. Did Kat’s family name their Pug after the pig? 100%. Does Charlie rank this above Aquamarine??? You’ll have to listen and find out… --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/be-mean-fast-forward/support

A feel-bad movie the entire (missing) family can enjoy! Prisoners is not for the weak of heart; Kat only fainted twice but, luckily, the couch broke her falls. Denis may arguably be the best director in the world right now but ten years ago he was just getting started (after ten years of sustained excellence in Canada but that's neither here nor there!)

This week's classic is a sexy Italian romp (no magicians or magic, sorry Kat) with The Talented Mr. Ripley! The real question is - when would you have cracked? For Kat, it's pretty early on.

Today is the first special episode of the season: Be Mean AT THE MOVIES! An episode where NEITHER of us has seen the thing, because it's brand spanking new. And for our inaugural pick, we chose a very serious, very unsexy movie ONLY about sports and NOTHING ELSE OKAY??? Trust us. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/be-mean-fast-forward/support

Have you ever just wanted Ed Harris to control your life? It honestly doesn't sound so bad... as long as he doesn't try to drown you. This week, Kat watches (for the first time, despite spoilers) The Truman Show! As always, remember to vote on the poll, and if you guys have any suggestions for future classics Kat has never seen, drop them in the comments below!

Who hasn’t thought about Oedipus once or twice…or a lot more than normal? This week’s episode is the first Kat Pick! Finally something Charlie doesn’t know absolutely everything about. Kat prepped him for a lighthearted film about love and laughter…and the importance of family…

Kat knows for sure Martin Scorsese directed this one. BMFF episode two is all about the coolest (and rumor has it, nicest) fellas in the world - mobsters. If you also waited thirty years to check out this classic, this ep is for you!

For the very first episode of Be Mean Fast Forward, we're starting with a BANGER. Kat has never seen Jurassic Park (somehow) and it's one of Charlie's most-watched movies. Will she finally stop singing the theme song in high-pitched tones? Listen to find out... Find us on socials @bemeanfastforward

Welcome to the Be Mean Fast Forward Podcast! The movie discussion pod where one person is completely new to the movie, and the other is practically an expert. Mostly, that's Charlie. Give it a listen, and remember - be kind and rewind.
