  • The Dressmaker (2015)
    Jun 5 2025

    It’s Pride Month, so Mason let Sean pick the movie and that’s how we ended up watching the 2015 drama(?) The Dressmaker, and then workshopped it until we came up with a better version of it. Hire us as script doctors and give us millions thank youuuuu.

  • Mommie Dearest (1981)
    May 11 2025

    This week on a very special (late) episode, Mason and Sean discuss Frank Perry’s Joan Crawford biopic Mommie Dearest. It’s a film that both helped sink Faye Dunaway’s career and massively influenced contemporary drag culture, but is it worth watching in 2025?

    If you Happy Mother’s Day!

  • Crash (2004)
    Mar 27 2025

    This week Mason and Sean discuss what is widely considered to be one of the worst films to ever win the Oscar for best picture. We did this because it is almost April Fool’s Day when this comes out, and I’m not sure it was worth it.

    You should rate, review, and share our podcast, just to make it worth it. Thanks, you’re the best.
