Peewee's Big Adventure (1985) with Courtney Eck

Lizzie, Sam & special guest Courtney Eck (They Will Kill & Please Leave podcasts!) speed off on a very big adventure with style icon Peewee Herman! Cinema was born this day in 1985 and there's enough biker gangs, hot cons, and bicycle thieves to fill an 80s muscle mag.

Bottoms (2023)

Sam & Lizzie give a one-two punch to a favorite film of 2023, Bottoms directed by Emma Seligman (Shiva Baby) starring Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) Rachel Sennott (Bodies Bodies Bodies). They figure out just gay, ugly, and untalented they were in high school and find threads of another classic subtextual high school movie woven throughout the film.LINKS:Clip: No rizClip: We're Doing This!Clip: We're Doing This!

Thirteen (2003)

Lizzie & Sam are feeling like kids again with our season opener, Thirteen directed by Catherine Hardwicke of Twilight fame. With enough angst and ketamine to take down a full grown elephant, we unpack our tween lives on the fringe, argue about clarinets, and enjoy some excellent Titanic tea (yes, the Leonardo movie).

Tár (2022) with Clint Bowie

Sam & Lizzie take to the stage with special guest Clint Bowie to break down the endless subtext of Tár, starring Cate Blanchett. Every inch of this film is a reference and we peel through every layer. We'll arm you with enough knowledge to feel superior next time you're in a group of your closest pretentious friends. As well as enough lesbian outfit inspiration to last you a lifetime. Bravo!Clip: Tár at JuliardClip: Bradley Cooper interviews Todd FieldClip: Blair Witch Side-by-SideClip: The Finale

Bound (1996) with Lara Hill

Sam & Lizzie (with special guest Lara Hill @laraonset) get all tied up in the iconic work that is BOUND directed by the Wachowski sisters. Sexy, bloody, subtle, and a triumph for queer cinema. We also take a moment to honor Trans Remembrance Day and recognize the strides forward we must continue to make as a community. Read more and honor those lost at the Human Rights Campaign website.
