Hi all!!!
This week we began discussing the wonderful weather we've been blessed with, but then the conversation turned into story time with Jo that lead to a brief mention to how scientist are questioning if women have the ability impregnate themselves, so exciting!
Let's start with Man and Jo's birthday celebration extravaganza!!! Which consisted of pedicures, piercings, and a mighty book haul.
We both picked up Anatomy a Love Story by Dana Shwartz. Man added to her stack Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco, and a couple of Chuck Palahniuks. While Jo added a little quirk to her stack with Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job, You Suck, and Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend.
We dip into the last episodes of Season 2 of Euphoria on HBOMax. I've never wanted to be so wrong but the unfortunate events that unravel in the last episode gripped our hearts tight and we find ourselves hoping for the best and preparing for the worst for Ashtray.
Heels (2021) on STARZs stars Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig created by Michael Waldron (producer of Loki and Rick and Morty), follows the complicated life of Jack and Ace Spade in this authentic portrayal of the wrestling world and its complexities in and out of the ring. The performances, the betrayals, the accents!
On March 4th the newest Batman finally hit theaters. The Batman directed by Matt Reeves starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Collin Farrell, Paul Dano, John Turturro, Andy Serkis and many more.
We follow a very angry and determined Bruce Wayne on his second year as Batman/Vengeance in this noire version of greatness. Heavy with dialogue and fighting, the play with lighting and darkness is everything we wanted from a batman movie. The Batman gives Bruce Wayne's well known tragedy a leg to stand on, giving his perfect family a major flaw he might not be able to live with while trying to stop The Riddler (Dano), who, in my opinion, gave Heath Ledger's Joker a run for his money, with a performing just as terrifying and maybe more psychotic.
We hope you've enjoyed our show so far and continue to tune in every Wednesday!

Previous Episode

He was in Tighty-Whities!

Man brought in baby pictures and JESUS, I deserved jail time for looking at those!
I am glad to skip the jail time so let's move on:
On this week's episode, we are left confused by Power of the Dog on Netflix. Directed by Jane Campion, this 1920's western stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, and Jesse Plemons. George (Plemons) marries Rose (Dunst), and Phil (Cumberbatch) is not okay with any of it. (Full of SPOILERS!) Man was left bored, wondering when the movie was going to end, but hey, Oscar nominee and shit, right?
Ghostbusters: Afterlife starring Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, and Finn Wolfhard is now available for rent, and it was a banger! Full of nostalgia and throwbacks. There are spoilers for this one too, so beware!
Through My Window (A Traves De Mi Ventana), available on Netflix, is a Spanish movie starring Clara Galle and Julio Pena. Raquel (Galle) is crushing on her neighbor, Ares (Pena). Ares finds a way to steal Raquel's Wi-Fi password to use it as a way to interact with her. From Raquel being obsessed with Ares, to finding him annoying and stuck up, to falling in love, we follow these two characters through the trials and tribulations of being young, falling in love, and being controlled by parents who expect better from you.

The Father of Red Flags

Excuse me for burping! And poor Man couldn't help but short circuit for a minute there. Hilarious!
Let us begin with The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse and while the pace of the book was wonderful and kept our favorite bibliophile intrigued enough for her to rate it a 3/5, it was a fallacy! False advertisement at its finest, promising a more loaded version of The Shining and to Manda's disappointment, the lack of ghosties just peeved her.
I fill Manda in on the final season of Power on STARZs, another slight disappointment to be honest. Don't get me wrong the show was great, but like I said before, I could've done without. The fact that I compared the last half of season 6 to whiskey dick...say no more bitch!
Ladies, be glad if you have a shitty credit score because men like Simon are out there.
The Tinder Swindler on Netflix walks us through this charismatic--gross--man and his swindling ways! Girls, ask many questions, ask for proof, and keep your real bitches close so they can check you!
Back in 2008 director Toby Wilkins traumatized us with Splinter available on HBOMax. He traps our actors Shea Whigham, Jill Wagner, and Paulo Costanzo in a gas station with a parasite of all things.
This creepy crawly gets under your skin and burst out of you, killing you, and animating your meat suit for whatever purpose it needs. This conversation also leads to a quick mention of the short YouTube film Other Side of the Box by Caleb J. Philips. It's fucked!
Now circling back to keeping your friends close and doing your research when dating now-a-days, brings Jo to understand that cotton candy grapes is yet another red flag!
Fresh is available on HULU and stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sebastian Stan, and JoJo T. Gibbs. The dangers for women and online dating is a risk we take, but my god so is meeting a man in a super market. We find out Steve (Stan) has a knack for kidnapping women, dismembering them and selling their meat to the 1% of the 1%. Now Noa (Edgar-Jones) has to find a way to survive by any means necessary.
Please remember to always be safe and aware of your surroundings! Join us always every Wednesday!
