  "The Mask": Put Your Best Face Forward

  Nov 19, 202537 minS3

  <p>Sarah and Raf are back, and they've got some questions: Who's really the king of the rumba beat? Can Sarah buy the set of the Coco Bongo, or at least the stairs? Is anyone going to take Milo outside?!?</p><p>In case you haven't guessed, this episode is all about the fun, silly, and occasionally thrilling Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz film "The Mask." Set in the grimy yet gorgeous Edge City, a city where methane emissions make for gorgeous sunsets and a S.W.A.T standoff can turn into a musical number, this 1994 film is "very...

  "Flatliners": My Life with the Dead Med Cult

  Aug 31, 202352 minS3

  <p>To paraphrase Nelson Wright's first line in the movie, today is a good day to talk about "Flatliners." This beautiful and bizarre 1990 film directed by Joel Schumacher captivated Sarah and Raf as young adults, and they have a lot to say about it. But does it hold up like the museum's giant sculptures...or more like the leaking ceiling?<br/><br/>Stylish and moody, "Flatliners" is the story of five ridiculously good-looking medical students who take turns stopping their hearts to experience the afterlife. They perform their deadly hobby in secret, surrounded by dramatic sculptures and murals of Greek...

  "Beetlejuice": Springtime Is Spooky Season

  Mar 30, 202335 minS3

  <p>Just in time for the 35th anniversary of "Beetlejuice," the second episode of Season 3 is here!</p><p>Released on March 30, 1988 (yes, it's technically a spring movie), "Beetlejuice" introduced the world to "the ghost with the most." Raf remembers this film really fondly, while Sarah was a little more apprehensive about it in her early years. But these days, both love revisiting it regularly, especially since it gives them the chance to talk about Tim Burton's overall career trajectory and goth representation in cinema. Plus, they've got hot takes on polyester blue leisure suits, Robert Goulet, and (yet again...

  "Scrooged": The Gift You Get Years Later

  Dec 23, 202241 minS3

  <p>Welcome back to the couch!  Season 3 of "What the Kids Were Watching" is here, and Sarah and Raf are getting into the holiday spirit with the 1988 film "Scrooged."</p><p>As with some of the previous films discussed on this podcast, "Scrooged" -- an 80s retelling of "A Christmas Carol" starring Bill Murray -- has proven a bit divisive for our hosts. Raf has wanted to talk about this movie since the podcast launched, while Sarah was resistant. "I didn't want to have to face how I just didn't love this movie," she admits. Ultimately, though, both hosts are s...

  "Die Hard" Part II: Unlocking the Vault (with Guest Star Eric Lichtenfeld)

  Jul 14, 202139 minS2

  <p>In the final part of a two-part podcast episode, film historian and author Eric Lichtenfeld ("Action Speaks Louder") joins Sarah and Raf for the second half of their conversation about the 1988 action film and Christmas classic "Die Hard."</p><p>This time, the group dives even deeper into the important tropes and meaning found in the beloved film: what the music is really saying; how John McClane is pride and Hans Gruber is vanity; and the sheer delight of stealing a candy bar from the Nakatomi Corporation. Raf dares to ask if there's anything the group doesn't like about...
