The SWAMP

SWAMP: Some Whack Ass Movie Podcasting. The brilliant, dazzling, and entirely unqualified Emily and Dara will talk your ear off each week about a different movie. Movies they love, movies they hate, and sometimes movies they love to hate, and hate to love. Pour yourself a drink, grab a carb-based snack, and tune in to hear some hot takes on all things movies.

Bound Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

Nut Everywhere November continues with MORE GINA GERSHON in the 1996 Wachowski Sisters debut film, the steamy crime thriller Bound. This movie is simply too gay to have any straight people around so Dara had to leave. Just kidding, she was sick this week. Extra special guest Lauren (Emily's partner who previously joined us to cover the movie Theater Camp) fills in to discuss! Everyone thank Lauren for the hot goss.

Make sure to wet your sponge this week before strapping in and joining us on the long walk down The Green Mile. Did anyone else read this book when they were a little too young? Maybe just me?
