    The Winners and Losers of the 2022 Oscar Nominations

    Groundhog Day: We consider the potential length of the time loop, the casting that ended friendships, and the insane number of tragedies that happen in a small town in Pennsylvania.

    Before I Fall: It's been a while since we've vicerally hated a film's premise, but boy howdy did we have a lot to rant about. We also manage to discuss heteronormative hell, the conspiracy theory of who trapped Sam in the loop and some of the worst ADR.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke walks Lindsey through her personal picks for potential Oscars host, and gives many valid reasons to why it should absolutely not be James Corden.

    Never Rarely Sometimes Always: Brooke gives the history of Antz and A Bug's Life which she swears is relevant, and then we debate whether or not this is a period piece and the luggage that serves a metaphorical purpose but makes no practical sense.

    Unpregnant: In Brooke and Lindsey's new favorite film, we discuss the high school rumor mill, the worst place to take a pregnancy test (surrounded by teens), and the best use of "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke breaks down the people who have recently chosen violence & chaos on the internet: A fake promotional twitter account, Aaron Sorkin, and believing that giving an in depth interview on how you aren't offensive, just "silly" would come off in your favor.

    Jeremy Strong's New Yorker Profile

    Jeff Garlin's Vanity Fair interview

    Eyes Wide Shut: In a film that's apparently undoubtedly a Christmas film, we discuss the film kids' disappointment at lack of porn, the worst behavior of a plus one, and one man's need to constantly prove that he's a doctor.

    Starry Eyes: Lindsey tells the least fun fact quite possibly ever, causing Brooke to want to quit the podcast. Before that, they manage to discuss the Potato Hooters, and the weird cult like obsession of Chuck Palahniuk.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke has has a life update for Lindsey (unrelated to film kids), Brooke then gives an awards precursor by looking at the National Board of Review and the New York Film Critic Circle awards. Lindsey reluctantly agrees to watch a Paul Thomas Anderson film.

    Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf: We discuss the likelihood that MGK and Megan Fox would star in a remake of this film, the point at which we would leave a party, and quite possibly the only people that would commit to bits more than Brooke and Lindsey

    The Boys in the Band: Brooke has found her own version of JK Simmons/Michael Keaton, knowledge of Teen Wolf as the only requirement to date us, and the worst party game followed by the worst time to hook up at a party.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: This week, we delve into the “Marvel Question” discourse and learn which directors would or would not direct superhero movies, regardless of whether they’ve been asked to direct a superhero movie.

    Slumdog Millionaire: We debate the benefits of pulling a scam on a studio, the undeniable (yet still denied) hotness of Dev Patel and the worst use of “fate” we’ve seen on the podcast.

    St Trinian’s: In another film that’s only loosely about a quiz show competition, we discuss questionable 2007 jokes, the implications of discussing Colin Firth in a film that stars Colin Firth, and Lindsey’s lack of knowledge of common British terms.

  • A special (belated) episode, meaning November is is still spooky month - which is Brooke's true nightmare.

    127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke gives a quick IATSE update, followed by Netflix's employee walkout, and Ruby Rose's allegations against CW/WBTV.

    Us: A surprise pairing caused directly by Lindsey, we manage to discuss the reasons we don't want kids (mainly their ability to see shadow people), a new conspiracy Lindsey has concocted around the restaurant industry, and when is the time for men to stop being allowed to make decisions.

    Replicas: In a movie where there are literally no consequences despite setting up all of the immediate consequences, we discuss how a man ineptly tries to get away with murdering his entire family, despite not murdering his entire family. We also discover that while Lindsey may have a face-blindness for actors, it certainly is not height-blindness.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: After another update in the IATSE/AMPTP negotiations, we discuss the films by women filmmakers coming out this year that film kids will be talking about in the lead up to the Oscars.

    Read Oscars: These Women Directors Could be Standouts This Awards Season

    Alien: Spooky Month 2021 kicks off with a film that Brooke will absolutely not be analyzing, but instead we talk about when is it acceptable to murder your coworker, and how The Who impacted the most influential sci-fi film.

    Forbidden World: In a film that’s barely not porn, we manage to discuss the inherent sense of humor in aliens, the somehow unworrying presence of Molly in the air, and the perfect naming of a man named “Earl”.

    I, Tonya: We discuss committing to no thoughts, no vibes and the buried childhood trauma Brooke has from skating. Plus, Lindsey discovers her new dream job: bird agent.

    Ice Princess: We break down this film that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and instead focus on Zambonis in the wild, the nicest “mean girl” in a Disney movie, and the pipeline of early 2000s “feminism” to 2020s “girlboss”.

    Brooke's fever dream is real and apprently features Kevin Hart, which she somehow completely missed

    IATSE Stories Instagram

    Bicycle Thieves: After Nixon Month, Brooke returns to Film Kid lectures, and we discuss one of the most influential films. Topics include the world’s most perfect child, Brooke and Lindsey’s fundamental disagreement and the mysterious allure of a cheese pull.

    Premium Rush: Brooke and Lindsey both find very specific hills that they would die on while discussing this film which has probably influenced zero filmmakers. And despite not understanding the main plot device, we manage to discuss the weirdest superpower, “fixie” bikes and the most 2012 line of dialogue.

    Nixon Television Round Up: To close out Nixon Month, we discuss the some of the many TV shows that have featured Nixon as a character. From breaking the Doctor out of Area 51 in Doctor Who to existing as a head in a jar in Futurama, we discover that Nixon may be the glue that holds this universe together.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: This week Lindsey slowly descends into madness as we cover Showergate and the weird discourse that’s sprung up about celebrities’ shower opinions.

    Frost/Nixon: We get upset at the humanization of Nixon while also critiquing a man for being upset that he’s bad at his job. Plus, the worst way to answer the phone, no matter the context.

    Elvis & Nixon: Brooke and Lindsey break down a surprisingly sane film with the most unhinged factual premise. Topics include: the security priorities of the White House, Brooke’s version of the Michael Keaton and J.K. Simmons confusion, and the suspicious antics of Elvis – who is too adamant that he’s anti-drug to be anti-drug.

    All the Presidents’ Men: Brooke and Lindsey ponder the maniac nature of hunting and pecking, where a character ends and an actor begins, and what would be the name of popular scandals if the Watergate break in happened at literally any other hotel.

    Dick: In the first ever unanimous win, Brooke and Lindsey talk about their new favorite film. Topics include every single good dick joke, middle school field trips, and the ambitious dating scene in D.C.

  • Content Warning: This episode contains discussions about James Franco, his many sexual assault allegations and the complicit enabling by those around him. If you want to skip this discussion, the time stamp is 58:32.

    127 Hours with a Film Kid: This week Brooke and Lindsey were possibly living out a real life 127 Hours, so instead of news, Brooke gives the history of popcorn.

    Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb: Lindsey can’t tell the difference between faces and Brooke can’t tell the difference between pronunciations. We also discuss our favorite stage name and our shared desire to have more government officials weigh in on movies.

    This is the End: Lindsey declares her love of both Jay Baruchel and distance-based jokes. We discuss the very loose plot of the film, and agree that spending the apocalypse at James Franco’s house is a fate worse than death.

    Little Miss Sunshine: In Brooke’s Film Kid Origin film, we discover that Lindsey may have face-blindness, that neither of us could ever commit to a vow of silence and we quantify the sheer weight of living.

    Dumplin’: We discuss a diner run exclusively by teens, the undeniable charm of Dolly Parton, and our desire to never have to think about prom dresses and awkward relationships in high school.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke takes Lindsey through some shallow dives as we discuss Nicolas Cage, Ted Bundy drama, Lord of the Rings, and Lindsey’s favorite topic: Unions.

    Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood: After putting it off for 23 episodes, Brooke is finally forced to discuss Quentin Tarantino, and it goes just about how you’d expect. Other topics include the overwhelming presence of feet, and Brooke saying “self-indulgent” and “pretentious” more times than Margo Robbie has lines.

    The Haunting of Sharon Tate: In a film that equally upsets us but for vastly different reasons, we avoid discussing this clearly exploitive film by focusing on Gibby being a terrible nickname, the surprising recent invention of 9-1-1, and the mythos of Archeologists.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke is too excited to give Lindsey the illusion of a choice as we break down the Cannes Film Festival lineup, Quentin Tarantino's potential early retirement, the ever-increasing cast of Knives Out 2, and Space Jam 2.

    Watch ESPN 30 for 30 presents, The Bunny & The GOAT

    When Harry Met Sally...: We get wildly off track this episode and somehow find it relevant to discuss what to feed ducks (and the jokes/songs surrounding such controversial topics), the perils of dating within the friend group, and the fictitious New York in which New Year's Eve is quiet.

    Always Be My Maybe: Brooke and Lindsey detail their love of Keanu Reeves, both in this film and in general before reaffirming that Dave Franco's take from over a year ago on modern romcoms was bad. Plus, we question the seemingly nonexistent rules of "apocalyptic truth or dare".

  • Due to some audio issues, there is no 127 Hours with a Film Kid this week, if you find yourself stuck in a conversation with a film kid, just start singing Olivia Rodrigo's good 4 u in your head... it's what we'll be doing.

    Phantom Thread: Lindsey makes up her own dramatic background for this film, and then reveals her desire to go Urban Foraging. Plus, we discuss when it's appropriate to be spooked by ghosts (always).

    Fifty Shades Freed: Brooke and Lindsey have no context for the 3rd film in this franchise, but that doesn't stop them from judging this couple who have clearly never had a single conversation before getting married. Brooke also gets overwhelmed by the mere concept of banks, and Lindsey is surprised to find Christian Grey more of a maniac than Edward Cullen.

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: This week, Brooke walks Lindsey through the Bad (Kevin Spacey), the Progress (HFPA updates, and more auditions for actors with disabilities) and the Weird (the Flaming Hot Cheetos movie) in Hollywood.

    Jaws: Brooke breaks down the impact this movie had, both on the film industry and on the shark population. We also discuss the lack of basic communication like pointing out a dangerous shark and the world's pushiest mayor in this Shark Town.

    The 14 Weirdest Things Sharks Have Eaten

    Sharknado: We discuss what creature we'd prefer to fall from the sky and hit us, Brooke's love of car chases, and Lindsey's love of wiggling sharks. Plus, the spin-off film Brooke refuses to believe actually happened (even though it definitely did).

  • 127 Hours with a Film Kid: We discuss several issues with the industry including racism, toxicity and treatment of child actors.

    Alyson Stoner's Op-Ed in People

    Scott Rudin is a Horrible Monster

    Nomadland: We discuss all things #vanlife and praise the film's "oppressive loneliness" before solving the bartering system mystery of Lady Bird and remembering the existence of Borat.

    If you weren't aware, Nomadland won 3 Academy Awards. Chloé Zhao won for Best Directing (making her the first woman of color, and the second woman ever to win this award), Frances McDormand won for Best Actress, and the film also won Best Picture - we obviously recorded this episode before the Oscars aired, but wanted to note these momentous and groundbreaking awards.

    The Lady in the Van: We ponder when you need for new material or if it's worth telling the same story 5 times, playing recorders in school and Brooke's desire to have fate take both her and her name.
