Sailor Moon is a ubiquitous series in nearly every country. It's impossible to cover in one episode, but with a topic like found family - there's no better beautiful fantasy epic to talk about. Not only is it coded in mo
Sometimes it's not just about being scared. It's about the awe that transforms into fear. It's about a place that seems like one thing and almost overnight transforms into another. It's about the terror, the warnings, an
If you're looking for something different to enjoy tonight, John has a few episode suggestions from one of his favorite anthology works. Twilight Zone is near and dear to his heart and this episodes will give you some ex
October is a fitting time to revisit the chills that formed us. And for John, he eagerly volunteers a favorite Ray Bradbury story turned film. Perhaps the most sinister of the Disney/Touchstone imprint, Something Wicked
There are some audio issues with this episode, but the love and appreciation for Tim Curry and his voluminous codex of work shines through. Can you guess which major role we didn't get to in time? Perhaps there's more of
Please note, some audio issues are found in this episode. While preparing for gay Christmas (aka Halloween), John and Magnus become intrigued with the devil in the details. In the case of the Devil himself in South Park,
Batman Begins almost defies everything Batman had been on film. Based on a different part of the Batman lineage than any Bat Blockbuster before, it was supposedly a repudiation and a fresh start. And it is a great movie.
It might be the only Batman film that has its own apology tour. One of the most requested episodes John and Magnus have ever done, they break down what went right, what went wrong, and what went very gay for Batman and R

Holy camp, Batman! Dare we say in this chaotic, ostentatious version of Gotham City - is this the straightest Batman yet? And what is this in response to? Why is this Batman so different from any other film version? And
When you think about teens and pre-teen shows in the 90s, what shows do you think about? Specifically, do you think about the diverse representation of girls in the shows? Do you think about the tropes? Do you think abou
As we celebrate Magnus' birthday, it's time to talk about one of the most famous sitcoms of all time with one of the most well-known, self assured, and yet farcical characters of all time. Is Keeping Up Appearances the p
The return of Summer Shorts may be imminent or may be as far away as summer itself. But all that is up to you. Which Batman live action film would you like to talk about the most? Are you a Bale bat or does Burton's visi
Just a quick episode on probably the most iconic movie of the late 90s. It has everything. Homoromanticism, Jared Leto getting beat up, bunk beds in decaying basements, Edward Norton discovering self help groups, and peo
In this episode, John and Magnus tackle two rather big questions. The first is why does Netflix keep cancelling so many shows? At what point have they had too much cake and tried to eat it too? The other question is whet
What's one of the first movies that made you think about film and about your life? What's one of the first films that is intensely intimate for you? For John, there was no greater film for his birthday month and for a co
It's a funny thing what streaming services give and take away. And this coming of age story from the 1993 wouldn't have been a success nor had its longevity without living in a pre-streaming world where syndication made
This episode goes places. Like, scary places. That's what raatmas when Raatma raatmas.
But it might not be the 90s you expect. What show would you say focuses on two long lost lovers meeting again after years and lifetimes apart? What if John and Magnus told you it was on the BBC? What if John and Magnus t
