We might as well call this episode "all nostalgia, all the time!" First, we review that classic 80's romantic comedy, "Moonstruck" (or as young people call it, the Cher movie with "snap out of it!"). Then, We spin up the kings of mid-aughts indie rock, Arcade Fire, and cry about how we're not as young as we used to be. But in a fun way, we promise.


This episode contains explicit language and a brief discussion of Nicolas Cage losing his hand in a deli accident.

On this episode, we watch the most wholesome movie, E.T., and then listen to the least wholesome band, the Sex Pistols. Or at least, that was the plan, until Sydney went rogue.

After our last foray into the world of literature, we were looking for a book that would really kick us in the proverbial face. Enter the mad genius Virginia Woolf and her modernist classic, "Mrs. Dalloway." If you've ever wondered how a hundred-year-old piece of art could still feel relevant, the answer is right here. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Every step of the way. And as a bonus, we also have a lengthy discussion of Nicole Kidman's award-winning turn in "The Hours"!


This episode contains explicit language and discussions of suicide, both fictional and historical.

Sydney and Anthony are getting brainy this week as they find the groove of the legendary queer funk/rock girl group, Labelle! Then, they try to wrap their heads around David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive." Does the movie make sense? What is sense, anyway? Only time will tell...or will it?

While we were recording our first batch of episodes, our world was rocked by the release of Red (Taylor's Version). It was then that we admitted a shameful truth to each other: neither of us had listened to an entire Taylor Swift album before! We felt called to drop everything and devour her entire discography multiple times in the span of two weeks. And what better time than Valentine's Day (okay, the day after Valentine's Day) to release an episode about someone whose private life has been made so aggressively public?


We hope you enjoy it; this one gets deep!


This episode contains strong language and frank discussions of violence, including violence against women.

Some art is so of-the-moment that looking back on it even a few years later can be confusing and disappointing. Some art ascends the era of its making to become timeless. On this episode, we deal with both. First, it's the indie comedy that made Jon Heder a star and made every teenage boy in 2004 ask: does the chicken have large talons? It's "Napoleon Dynamite"! Then, we spin up the records of one of the most influential, talented, and emotionally haunted male recording artists of the twentieth century: Marvin Gaye!


This episode contains explicit language, as well as discussions of depression, drug addiction, self-harm, and murder.


Co-Hosts: Sydney Painter and Anthony Pinggera


Theme music by Dana Wilentz.


Additional reading: Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye, by David Ritz.

We're tilting at windmills, y'all. On our second episode about a book, we take on a true titan of postcolonial literature: Salman Rushdie's epic, Midnight's Children. This was a doozy of a book in every possible way.
