Moved ~400 pounds of dirt and dismantled a concrete fence while listening. They made it bare-able! And yes I agree the janitor is the hottest. I mean those cheekbones!
Great ep! I agree with the ending recasting Carrie as a monster over a sympathetic figure feels unnecessary. And Jon Travolta’s character is unthreatening with that puffy vest. What are you gonna do? Write a threatening but well formatted letter with CSS??
and as for the "Rowan, why are you starting this project on satire movies with CARRIE, a horror movie?", well, that's a question we get into on the show and I think will be VERY clear when we hit HEATHERS
As for next week specifically -- when recording we were considering doing Sixteen Candles, but have since decided that The Breakfast Club is a better fit. It's Rowan's first time!
For the latter, we'll be hitting on Heathers, Clueless, Mean Girls, Easy A, Bottoms, and several others! We've also got @christyadmiraal.bsky.social as a co-host for these and maybe more, who can say for sure, certainly not us or her
Throughout this year, we'll be alternating months between doing more science fiction films and The Teen Girl High School Social Satire Canon. with the former, we'll be doing Charlie Kaufman films next month, including Eternal Sunshine, Synecdoche NY, and probably Being John Malkovich
Southland Tales is one of the most interesting terrible movies ever made. I love it, but I can't really recommend it to anyone. The cast is insane, the writing is insane, and it required supplemental comics to understand the film. It is a laundry lists of what not to do for cinema and it rules.
Fiasco month is FINALLY OVER, but not before we get to talk about SOUTHLAND TALES, the most fiasco movie of all time. There's a lot to talk about so you should listen totalmassacre.libsyn.com/southland-tales!
We're continuing Fiasco Month(s) with CLOUD ATLAS. @chrisdole86.bsky.social join us to discuss the film, which is about the power of the human spirit and also Halle Berry as an evil elderly Korean doctor.
After massive technical difficulties, we have a new episode for you. For Fiasco Month, @valondar.bsky.social walks us through METROPOLIS 🤖👩, a movie that shows you can bomb at release and still be one of the greatest to ever do it.
