Sinopse

Two WWU grads approach pop media with an academic eye, and dispel the myth of the guilty pleasure.

Episódios

  • Happiest Season

    01/12/2020 Duração: 52min

    We took a few weeks off, but we watched the lesbian Christmas movie so that makes up for it, right? Also, Alex blinded me with science, and Ashley is craving the flave.

  • Troy and Modern Mythology

    21/10/2020 Duração: 01h01min

    We can't stop playing Hades, so we decided to put the mythology hope to use and watch Troy (2004). What do these modern retellings tell us? Also, Alex doubled down, and Ashley found a new masterpiece.

  • The Fall

    05/10/2020 Duração: 01h18min

    At long last, Ashley has seen The Fall. If you haven't, you really, really, really, really should. Also, Alex found flavortown, and Ashley got precocious. 

  • Avatar: The Legend of Korra

    21/09/2020 Duração: 01h21s

    After a slightly unplanned hiatus we're back, and we finally finished Korra! Also, Alex discovered a new cryptid and Ashley discovered a new guru.

  • Quarantine Round Up 2

    24/08/2020 Duração: 47min

    Listen, we're all having a hard time. Sometimes you just need to rewatch some old stuff. Also, Alex had fun with shapes and Ashley uncovered history's mysteries.

  • The Umbrella Academy Season 2

    10/08/2020 Duração: 01h30min

    Oh my God, they're back again. That's right, The Umbrella Academy season 2 just dropped and we're so excited we're dancing with ourselves.

  • Atomic Blonde (with Leonora!)

    27/07/2020 Duração: 01h51s

    While everyone else is talking about that other (extremely good) Charlize Theron action film, we watched one from a few years ago that many people passed on. Watch out Keanu, because we're here for the Theronaissance. Check out Leonora on twitter and Letterboxd: @leolermontov https://letterboxd.com/leonorathelion/

  • Doctor Sleep

    13/07/2020 Duração: 01h02min

    As we continue our great HBO adventure, we have arrived at the film adaptation of Doctor Sleep. And Ashley has now determined she's never, ever going to watch Ready Player One. Also, Alex joined the wild rumpus and Ashley found some big old holes.

  • Watchmen (HBO)

    29/06/2020 Duração: 01h11min

    We watched Watchmen. Get it? Also, Alex chased a mystery and Ashley enjoyed a refreshing drink.

  • Blood Machines

    15/06/2020 Duração: 51min

    Black trans people are one of the most vulnerable populations in America. During Pride and every other month of the year, please consider giving your time and/or money to support this community. Black Lives Matter. (The Marsha P. Johnson Institute: https://marshap.org/about-mpji/) Also, we watched a weird series(?) called Blood Machines.

  • Birds of Prey

    18/05/2020 Duração: 58min

    Weird energy today, but the movie has a weird energy too! We actually loved it, and if you're anything like us you will too. Also, Alex learned the definition of a man, and Ashley had a sweet tooth.

  • Future Man (with bonus May 4th surprise!)

    04/05/2020 Duração: 01h17min

    We found ourselves pleasantly surprised by this nasty little gem. Also, Alex took us to Germany for something lovely, and Ashley did the same for something stupid.

  • Musical Movies Quarantine Edition

    20/04/2020 Duração: 54min

    We're trying to bring in the cheer with a little music... to varying degrees of success. We watched Cats (2019), Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) and Moulin Rouge (2001). Also, Alex got artistic and Ashley got toxic.

  • Quarantine Roundup

    07/04/2020 Duração: 01h24min

    It's rough out there, so we called up our good friend Allie to talk about how we're keeping sane while we're staying safe. Also, Alex and Allie went under the sea and Ashley got musical.

  • Swashbuckling Tales

    23/03/2020 Duração: 56min

    We've been responsibly social distancing, so you know what that means: binging movies about fancy men fighting evil. But what do these films tell us, other than running in tight pants is a good look? Also, Alex learned a new way to run a scam, and Ashley got prehistoric (again).

  • Cozy Gaming

    09/03/2020 Duração: 51min

    Times are hard, friends. Luckily, we can turn to video games. We discovered, though, that cozy gaming is different for different people. Also, Alex brought the hard facts and Ashley brought some old bones.

  • Shipping

    17/02/2020 Duração: 01h02min

    We were in a Valentine mood, so we chatted about shipping! Canon or not, these ships have a huge impact on fan culture. Also, Alex gave us another great word and Ashley was feeling peckish. (Sorry about the audio quality, everyone! -Ashley)

  • Sabrina Season 3 and NiNoKuni

    05/02/2020 Duração: 01h17min

    Things have been busy, so we came in with our own individual topics: Season 3 of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and the Netflix film adaptation of NiNoKuni! Which one do you think was ultimately disappointing? It's a pretty easy guess. Also, Alex got gory and Ashley predicts spring will be here soon.

  • Dracula (Netflix)

    20/01/2020 Duração: 01h07min

    You almost did it, Moffat. You were so close. Also, Alex has medical news and Ashley has a new hero.

  • The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

    23/12/2019 Duração: 55min

    It's Christmastime in this house, so we did a Christmas thing. Turns out, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms... is actually pretty ok! Also, Ashley investigated a Christmas mystery and Alex put on his Santa hat. Music is Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton (jonathancoulton.com)
