    106: Death Becomes Her with The Bechdel Cast Apr 14, 2020
    Show notes

    Plastic Surgery April continues with a call about the multiple sets of "Twinfluencers" that get matching plastic surgery - The Haze Twins, The Clermont Twins, and a debate about whether the Olsen Twins had a particular procedure done. Where is the most state of the art plastic surgery getting done right now? What's up with the private jet trips and plastic surgery makeovers rich people in Houston are doing during the pandemic? Then we are joined by Caitlin Durante and Jamie Loftus from our station sisters, film pod The Bechdel Cast! Jamie and Caitlin form a Voltron of feminist movie criticism with Tess, Molly and Emily to discuss Robert Zemeckis's Death Becomes Her (1992). Can a movie whose message is "women be vain" also be subversively feminist, even if it doesn't technically pass the Bechdel test? Whatever DID happen to Baby Jane? All this and a rousing back and forth about the imagined feeling of sitting on butt implants, at Night Call!

    105: The Great Deflation Apr 06, 2020
    Show notes

    Plastic Surgery April begins! How are influencers coping with staying indoors and who is still doing lip injections for the Kardashians? A night call from another medical professional says it’s probably okay to get take out right now and explains why. Then we get into our personal feelings about plastic surgery, insane beauty standards, and whether botox makes people look young or just rich. A night caller asks about Bella Hadid’s transformation into Carla Bruni and we spend a long time contemplating what it’s like to get a new face and have society treat you totally differently. Is this the end of decadent celebrity? We sure hope so, on an all new Night Call!

    104: Tiger King XXL Mar 30, 2020
    Show notes

    Greetings fellow homebodies! This week Tess, Molly and Emily spend some time delving into our nightmarish techno-feudalist world. Where are the billionaires now? How do you shop for food ethically right now when the options are all bad? How are we, if not keeping sane exactly, at least muddling through? Some of us enjoyed watching Netflix's Tiger King, and some of us did not. A fun back and forth about ethics in documentary filmmaking, private zoos, and whether Joe Exotic is a Tony Soprano for our times. Then it's the conclusion of Spring Break March and the weirdest spring break in history with Magic Mike XXL, the Gregory Jacobs directed sequel to Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike. Male objectification, Channing Tatum's career, Joe Manganiello's Backstreet Boys number, and how these movies quietly and expertly reinvented the movie musical for a new era without being annoying or twee about it. Escape on a mind vacation with Night Call, today!

    Show notes

    We are celebrating our inaugural episode of the Night Call Movie Club by putting it on the main feed! New episodes will come out every month for $5+ Patreon subscribers, along with our Book Club and other bonus episodes. Join us now at patreon.com/NightCall!

    To kick things off, we're watching the 1997 Robert Zemeckis-directed adaptation of Contact (after our 5-star experience with Carl Sagan's 1985 novel on the Book Club.) And who better to help us do it than writer, director and friend of the pod, Rian Johnson! We chat about how the movie has aged since its release, differences between the novel and the film, the filmography of Robert "Bobby Z" Zemeckis, sourdough starters, user interfaces of '90s Hollywood, loudmouths in Hawaiian shirts, and so much more.

    103: Werner Herzog’s The Real Cancun Mar 24, 2020
    Show notes


    A night caller asks and we deliver on covering the spring breakers and Disneyworld trippers who just wouldn’t stay home, as well as the too late response from Florida to prevent party rocking. Then a very special guest presents Dispatch From A Kid - Tess’s son Emmett! Emmett joins to tell us how kids feel about Corona and being off from school. More virus talk from the ladies leads into our penultimate week of Spring Break March, with The Real Cancun! The most 2003 movie of all time beloved by Werner Herzog, we look at why it failed where the Jersey Shore would succeed not too long after. Is any movie about thousands of people touching skin now a horror movie? Mayhaps! Molly tries to sell Tess and Emily on Summer House again and Emily counters with Terrace House. Come to Club Coco Bongo, with Night Call!

    102: The Fright Of Spring Mar 16, 2020
    Show notes

    Well our Spring Break theme month has taken a turn due to reality. But we will be here for you at Night Call, some of us calling in remotely, to keep taking your night calls. Pandemic talk leads to a condemnation of wellness grifters giving junk advice about Coronavirus and selling garbage dust. Then Emily has a serious q&a with a listener who responded to our call for doctors and medical professionals to give real advice about the crisis. But it’s still Spring Break March, so we tuck into the appropriately weird Stravinsky piece The Rite Of Spring and the riot-causing Nijinsky ballet. Also spring rituals from around the world and Molly’s Excellent French Canadian Spring Break.

    101: Where The Calls Are Mar 09, 2020
    Show notes

    Molly, Tess and Emily continue Spring Break March with a listener email about alternative spring breaks and community service tourism. Then it’s social media breaks and more Coronavirus panic, as we speculate how the festival economy and economic in general will be affected (spoiler: it’s not good!) Plus a testimony about successfully using CBD for animals. The main feature this week is Where The Boys Are, the 1960 beach romp that invented the modern spring break tradition and sex comedies too. Why does this movie from 1960 still feel so deeply modern? When will we get more movies about women taking trips? And where exactly are the boys? Find out on Night Call!

    100: Spring Break Forever Mar 02, 2020
    Show notes

    The ladies are joined by dialect coach Samara Bay, from new IHeartRadio podcast Permission To Speak, to talk about accents, voices and power. Is there a more famous example of a "bad" accent than Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins and is it really even that bad? Then a night email about the movie Road To Wellville prompts a talk about Kellogg's Corn Flakes as health food fad of the past, and graham crackers as very ineffective anti-masturbation tool. And of course, Coronavirus! We discuss how misinformation spreads virally online and why the real culprit in any health pandemic or natural disaster is really human error and lack of preparation. Plus the tale of a cat who was cursed and then saved by a magical charm. Then it's a night call from listener Leah about a very existential spring break getaway, which leads to a reevaluation of Girls In Hoodies classic Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers (2012). Has it stood the test of time and space melting since then? Does it play like a period piece or have something real to say? Emily has a new Spring Breakers theory, and Molly and Tess decide we agree. All this and more on an all new Night Call!

    Jane Marie, creator and host of The Dream podcast, joins the Night Callers this week to break down the wellness industry. Are all essential oils a scam? What’s up with the influencers who stopped drinking water? Do I need to sell my crystals? Plus the creepy unregulated world of therapy apps, and a long dip in the pool for Ron Howard’s 1985 wellness opus Cocoon! All this and Steve Guttenberg too on an all new Night Call!

    98: Vampire Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Feb 17, 2020
    Show notes

    Poet Elaine Kahn, author of Romance or The End, joins the girls this week. “Where have all the great movie sex scenes gone?” A Zalman King inspired listener asks in a night email, and we answer. Elaine explains her favorite British reality dating show Flirty Dancing, and where the American reboot went wrong. A discussion of reality dating shows from around the world, with an emphasis on weird formats (including Netflix’s new show Love Is Blind.) Plus, why none of us enjoy The Bachelor! Then it’s a long piano recital about The Hunger - Tony Scott’s 1983 new wave vampire movie starring David Bowie, Catherine Denueve, Susan Sarandon and a scary posh Manhattan townhouse. We are divided on vampires and what they represent in fun ways! All this and a reading from Martine’s Sexual Astrology for this week’s Spooky Love February episode of Night Call.
