Ep 179: In Velma We Trust

01/26/23 • 32 min

Your Cancel Me, Baby guide to the wild "Velma" controversy. How my personal story with Mindy Kaling, the insane and nonsensical backlash from both conservatives and wokes, and my own viewing experience not only shaped my view of Mindy, but my belief that the satire is also some of the most genius TV I've seen in a minute.

Ep 178: How He Directed J.Lo's Bare, Famous Booty Amid "Male Gaze" Craze

Here at Cancel Me, Baby, we're in the business of giving the people what they want. A sexy look at the iconic, OG booty is no exception. Enter Jason Moore, director of the new rom-com action flick SHOTGUN WEDDING (starring J.Lo, Josh Duhamel, your best friend Jennifer Coolidge, and your sex god Lenny Kravitz), who's also here to do just that. We talk about how J.Lo manages to OWN her bare butt... and simultaneously the whole damn room, navigating that in the "male gaze" meltdown era, what's really behind Lenny Kravitz's infamous sunglasses, the real-life dichotomy of his rockstar persona, and how J.Lo's in on the scrutiny of her love life. Putting the ASS in badass, everyone.

Ep 180: Land of the Free, Home of the Deranged ft. Jack Kilmer

Another guest who's attractive, smart, and talented. Ugh - not again!!! Val Kilmer's son Jack is here to talk about his starring role in the final shebang of Bruce Willis's iconic action film career, Detective Knight: Independence, the last installment of the franchise. In just 15 minutes, we manage to tackle: our twisted, dark, and trigger-happy culture, the suffering anti-hero like The Joker in all of us, empathizing with and humanizing the bad guy, and themes around police, freedom, the American dream, and violence that wouldn't necessarily be in his dad's films, aka a simpler time. Your happy ending is nepotism and his thoughts on Hailey Bieber's "nepo baby" shirt.
