For the final installment of Doom Month (and the final episode of the show (for now at least)), Danielle and Fernanda climb into their surprisingly comfortable jumpsuits and take a contract with some company called Weyland-Yutani, which wants them to reexamine Ridley Scott's seminal 1979 sci-fi horror classic, Alien.

Danielle and Fernanda flex the parameters of Nice Try July to make room for the wet, squelching, two-and-a-half-human-hours-long finale of Stranger Things season four. What worked? What didn't? Who was #HornyForHopper before it was cool? Have you considered Not Running Up That Hill? Why is Will a 32 year old man? All this, plus an ending you won't believe!!

For our first proper installment of Nice Try July, Fernanda and Danielle revisit the madness of the mid-90s with Beanie Mania, a 2021 documentary from HBO Max and director Yemisi Brookes. Does Danielle regret not getting in on the craze when she had the chance in high-school? How does all this seem to Fernanda, who grew up in the Beanie-less country of Brazil? Was this brief phenomenon in American culture and more or less stupid than any of the other ones? Is everything, in fact, stupid??...

Due to a bout of covid, we weren't able to record a new episode of You Love To See It this week. But don't fret, as we have a "treat" for you, on today, America's birthday (which is also very close to Fanbyte Head of Media John Warren's birthday, which relates to this episode). We have a very special re-run, all the way back from July 2020, when John made a bunch of us watch Larry Crowne with him, a truly inexplicable movie that has only grown in our brains (sort of like a fungus) ever since....

We’re wrapping up Join Us June with a movie that Fernanda’s husband Rodrigo would’ve never forgiven us for if we didn’t include it: The Master by Director Paul Thomas Anderson. And we’re joined by our friend Alexander Lee (MMA Fighting) to try and make sense of it all. Including one of Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s final performances (RIP to a real one), The Master is loosely based (allegedly) on the life of L. Ron Hubbard. It also features another breakout performance by the one and only Joaquin...

Nope, you’re mind is not playing tricks on you. Yes, we are revisiting In the Mouth of Madness for Join Us June to dive into another rich text with our guy Sam Neill investigating the appearance of a successful horror writer whose latest book has inspired real life people to commit some pretty wicked stuff.

Join Us June continues with 2019’s Midsommar and we’re joined by our friend Stacie Ponder from The Gaylords of Darkness Podcast! From director Ari Aster, Midsommar tells the tale of a group of “friends” who decide to travel to visit a small commune in Sweden where a special ceremony is taking place that only happens every 90 years. But this small Swedish countryside may have a different definition of “breathtaking views.” As Hårga takes, so Hårga also gives. Listen to Stacie’s podcast: The...

It’s officially Join Us June here at YLTSI which means we’re taking a look at movies that feature the dark and fascinating world of cults. 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood features another Quentin Tarantino-directed alternate history that explores a fictional version of events that led to some of Charles Mansion’s followers carrying out a series of violent murders. But does it deliver a faithful depiction of these very real life figures? Or is it doomed to hitch a ride to the nearest...

This week, we’re ditching Payday May for a more multiversal payday with 2022’s Everything Everywhere All At Once. A movie that producer Paul has been fighting tooth and riot shield for Fernanda and Danielle to see and somehow we found the right jump pad.

That’s right. We’re going back to Gotham and this time we’re reviewing Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin. A movie that saw its top billing star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, walk away with $25 million while his co-star, who played the titular Batman, got $1 million in comparison. The film is still widely regarded as the worst Batman movie ever and that’s even if we’re counting 2016’s Batman vs Superman. But does it deserve all of that hate? Or is it doomed to be misunderstood forever? Read our...

We flipped the script on Payday May to show the other side of those huge Hollywood payouts. Since we couldn’t find any examples of women of color making these kinds of checks, we’re looking at someone who’s been a champion for pay equity in the industry: Viola Davis in 2018’s Widows. Directed by Steve McQueen, Widows tells the story of a group of women who all lose their significant others in a robbery gone wrong and are left behind to pick up the pieces in a storm of crime and...

This episode, should you choose to download it, features one of Hollywood’s biggest earners: Tom Cruise in 1996’s Mission: Impossible which, from the looks of it, continues to make him some serious bank. And this week, we’re joined by… me! YLTSI's resident computer-specialist-in-a-bullet-train-bathroom: Paul Tamayo! So lean back, light that- err- incense to disguise the smoke coming from your phone because this pod will self-destruct as soon as it’s done. Read the full episode transcript...

It’s Payday May! This month, we’re taking a look at movies that feature outrageous actor salaries and we’re going back to the beginning with 1989’s Batman. Joining us this week is the illustrious Harper Jay from Double Fine to discuss Jack Nicholson’s performance as The Joker and how those sweet royalties probably made this movie a breeze to make for him.

Oscar Snubs month continues with a spine-tingling performance from Jake Gyllenhaal in 2014’s Nightcrawler. The film tells the story of one man’s obsession with success at any cost, who finally finds a home in the grimey sensationalist primetime news world.
