SEX AND THE CITY SATUDAYS: Molly Lambert Apr 10, 2021

Show notes

Phil sits down with writer Molly Lambert to discuss the role age plays in Sex and the City through the season 2 episode "Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something women".

In this episode, we compare and contrast SatC to other shows that deal with similar themes of youth vs. age (Summer House, Real Housewives of New York, Below Deck). We also try to figure out what the revival will have to cover and avoid to resuscitate the franchise after the underwhelming, and unfaithful film epilogues.

166: Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century w/ Jennifer DiBella Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

Zetus lapetus, it's about time we covered one of the EIGHT Disney Channel Original movies that came out in '99, and who better to do it with than someone who auditioned to be in Zenon: Z3, actress Jennifer Lauren DiBella?

While movies like The Matrix and The Blair Witch project were redefining cinema as we know it at the local megaplex, DCOMs were the talk of the schoolyard for 90s kids who couldn't convince their parents to take them to see Stuart Little for the 5th time. Today, Phil is finally taking the plunge into this pre-teen cultural phenomenon. Do these films stand the test of time as classics major, or should they be left to rot in 20th century TV jail. This is Zenon: Girl of the 21st century

165: The Thirteenth Floor w/ Jessica Ellis Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

Writer/Director (And our go-to guest for subpar movies) Jessica Ellis is back on the show this week to talk about a movie that reaches for the stars, and barely hits the clouds; the embarrassingly executed sci-fi thriller THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR.

We talk about all the ways this movie fails to live up to its promising premise, and the few ways it manages to sneak in the odd pearl. We also discuss the unfortunate way female stars in the 90s were used up and forgotten about, and the film's unavoidable connections to more popular films of the time, such as The Matrix and Gattaca. (Inexplicably) Kick off your shoes, and hop into another reality, as we put on our tin foil hats to and dive head first into the world of simulation theory, forgotten actors, and Roland Emmerich.

164: Topsy Turvy w/ Karen Han Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

Karen Han (Writer @ Slate) makes her triumphant return to the podcast with Mike Leigh's musical period drama TOPSY TURVY.

Things get contentious on the show as Karen and Phil ride hard for the movie's masterpiece status, and Kenny tries his darndest to understand where they heck they're coming from. We pick apart the history, performances, and top-tier directing present in this oscar winning movie to find some common ground on where it deserves to stand in the pantheon of classics, and Leigh's filmography.

163: Rolling Stone's 1999 Covers w/ Tori Bravetti & Emma Fraser Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Sugar Ray, David Spade, Jar Jar made the cover page, Backstreet Boys, Beastie Boys, Austin Powers yo! This week we're going on an odyssey through every single '99 cover of Rolling Stone Magazine with fellow podcaster Tori Bravetti and writer Emma Frasier.

With the rise of paparazzi and celebrity gossip, magazines became a go-to source of information and culture back in the 90s. We discuss the sentimental value of these printed time capsules, our personal favorite covers, and how long we think the format will last. We also dive into each issue, one by one, to talk about who made the cover, their unique cultural impact, and the absolute insanity of some of the pictures.
