    In Which Heights, Exactly?

    In Which Heights, Exactly?

    Discussions of In The Heights focus on the star power of Anthony Ramos, the joy of summer in the city on a big screen -- and the fact that the actual Washington Heights is dominated by Afro-Latinx people, who don't have *any* presence in the film's many lead roles. It's not 'cancel culture' to discuss the casting decisions made by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jon M Chu that got the film to this point. The critique, the implications - and the impact on the "good guy" careers.

    Kathryn Hahn Has Been Here

    Kathryn Hahn Has Been Here

    Everything is coming up Kathryn Hahn. Did you always know? Or do you just know now? Same goes for Renée Elise Goldsberry. On this episode we discuss making it later. And if there are benefits to non-ingenue fame and success. If so… what are they?

    Truth or Dare is 30 - & Dirty?

    Truth or Dare is 30 - & Dirty?

    Unbelievably, the best-ever 'concert' film - actually an intimate (if highly-produced) diary of Madonna at Peak Superstar -- is 30 years old. We discuss how it shaped a generation, what still resonates decades later, Madonna's strategic exhibition and exploitation of other people's stories (and the parts that were clearly not calculated), and why it marks a turning point for the way gay culture was seen in media. We also touch on the specific shame of our specific geographic connection to Truth or Dare's most embarrassing plotline...

    The Oh, No, Oscars Edition

    The Oh, No, Oscars Edition

    We procrastinate discussing the worst-rated Oscars on record by discussing our now first-person experiences of vaccination - including which brand has indie cool cred. But eventually we get to business - could these COVID-styled Oscars have been any better? What were the unforced errors, and what could possibly have been done to avoid them? Plus, we show our work in a deeply petty argument that delights us both.

    Amanda Gorman & the Pressures Of Perfection

    Amanda Gorman & the Pressures Of Perfection

    Amanda Gorman looks like herself on the cover of VOGUE, and in Doreen St. Felix's profile, she doubles down on being worthy of all the attention - in her speech, dress, and actions. But if she's already 'perfect' - where will all the talent and opportunities take her, and how will she change? Plus, what if you're super talented, working hard, and not getting attention? One SNL star is leaning into the unlikely label of 'The One Who's Overlooked'.

Sure

I’m sorry but I hate his Duana says “sure”. I think Lainey called her out on it as well.
Aside from this I actually really like their insight. They are pretty fair and I’ve learned a lot from listening to both of them

Snarky and not as smart as they think they are

Very snarky, boring and really doesn’t say anything of importance - just follows what is currently popular but doesn’t stand for anything.

Thought provoking and fun

Enjoyed the chemistry and points provided. Massive BTS fan myself and appreciate (and applaud) Lainey’s enthusiasm and insights. Along with the undeniable glory a Grammy carries, I also believe such an international trophy might be seen to be on the same level as an Olympic medal, something that could grant them a military service exception.
