Our buddy Curtis Cook (@curtis_cook) is back with the show, this time bringing us a movie he likes bringing up at dinner parties. It's a 90s neo-noir where two "identical" half brothers are played by men who don't look anything like each other. Is there more to it than that? Eh, we're not sure.
Sarah Hatheway is back on the show as the Summer of Friends takes a dip into the world of high fashion. We visit the incredibly fun and well dress early Hepburn movie. It's a really good time.
The Summer of Friends continues with pod favorite Phoebe Bottoms. She takes us on a journey of one of her favorite comedies from her childhood, the strange flop Clifford. It stars Martin Short as an old guy AND a 10-year-old. In a strange turn of events, Hunter and Alex are kinda on the same page!
Guests are back! Guests are back! We're moving into our Summer of Friends with the amazing Bri Pruett (@bripruett) joining us. She's asked to share the 1988 John Waters film Hairspray that had such an effect on her as a kid. We have great time talking about it. Be sure to check out Bri's new podcast "You Can Do It w/ Bri Pruett" where she gives pep talks and tools for life to her friends. Find it wherever podcasts are.
We're reading a book, what is this, the old days! It is, in the 1968 young adult high-fantasy book that inspired so much of the genre. And it's a lovely way to pass the week. If that's not enough, EZRA'S BACK! Thank you for sponsoring, David and Maggie!
Whew, another long one. But a good one I think. We talk about 4th of July movies and traditions and then the strange sci-fi B movie about robot teachers and punk rock gangs in Seattle. Plus stories from somebody who worked there! Thanks for sponsoring, Destiny, Eudora, and Guthrie!
And now an epic episode of RiaW. We talk about the almost 4-hour movie about a problematic guy in a beautiful desert. Also Alex reads from his nightmare diary for some reason and we invent the "sten-dog-rapher".
It's a super problematic low budget movie with some really interesting elements. So you know that means, LOTS OF GUILTY FEELINGS. Also, slight trigger warning for discussion of sexual violence.
There's an alien in a Chevy Malibu and the coach of the Mighty Ducks is the only one who can find it.
