Ladybugs (30th anniversary)

Release Date Rewind
Mark is joined by returning guest from the west O'tilia Garcia a.k.a. OT to worship Jonathan Brandis and the comedy Ladybugs for its 30th anniversary. While OT shares her love for the young actor, Mark shares a memory of when he said sassy lines from this movie as a kid on the soccer field to distract his opponents. Sure, some of Rodney Dangerfield's jokes don't land and don't work so well, especially with a 2022 perspective, but it's a movie that deserves some of the "respect" that other 90s drag comedies got. Plus, hidden identities and bad athletes bring us joy!

Mark brings back friend, screenwriter, and film student for life C.C. Webster on a little droog trip to early 1970s London to discuss Stanley Kubrick's controversial hit A Clockwork Orange for its 50th anniversary this month. They share thoughts on the strange title, to symbolism in the characters' clothing, to differences between the film and the book by Anthony Burgess. And is Euphoria the new Clockwork? They wonder what a remake of this disturbing classic could be like today, and could Patrick Bateman from American Psycho be a "brother" to Alex DeLarge?

One of the most popular and beloved films turned 50 years old this month: The Godfather! And Mark had never seen the full movie until now - shocking, right? He brings back the mafia mistress Melissa Ward to the show so she can choose her favorite Corleone brother, discuss the dynamics between fathers and sons, reflect on violence in entertainment over the years, and decide who is best for Al Pacino's Michael: anxious American Kay Adams or Sicilian sizzler Apollonia. Plus, how do we feel about cannoli?
