acting so good, it's almost scary...
Noah, Eliza, and Anthony create the ultimate dream-team of towering performances from within the horror genre, from the most loveable and awesome final girls, to hauntingly believable possessions, to transformative villain roles. The gang takes some time to shiver in admiration - and fear!! eeeeeee - at the double header of Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, Bruce Campbell's terrific clowning, and Barbara Hershey's harrowing work in 'The Entity'.
we got some strong opinions about what makes a horror movie performance GREAT, and we'd love to hear your favourite roles too: get in touch via our social media below or email us! BOO binch

finally it's happened to me (getting Molly on the podcast)
Life was a drag until we got Molly Ward in the studio, to talk about a pair of twin films that see straight actors dragging it up in mirroring road-trip comedies. A longtime listener with a deep love of all things drag, Molly is here to help Noah and Eliza enthuse over the still-legendary and empathetic Aussie classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Then the gang discusses their first time watching To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar, an Americanised take on a very similar story of queer city-slicker fabulosity stuck in a remote backwater town.
Why is one film so beloved, 'daggily Australian', and perhaps before its time (with a few notable scenes as exceptions), and the other feels somewhat static, with Swayze, Snipes and Leguizamo just as stranded as their admittedly very entertained viewers? it's time to make your choice, and DO fuck it up

make sure u don't accidentally watch Frozen (2010) with ur Disney-loving children...
it's our first time tackling films with exactly the same title: Disney's world-conquering, kids'-party-inspiring, show-tune-infested Frozen, and an earlier horror film Frozen, about a trio of skiers stranded on a chair lift. In tone and subject matter, these movies couldn't be more different, catering to totally separate audiences but somehow both involving some silly wolf chase-scenes.
Noah and Eliza start discussing their movie opinions in order to keep body temps up n stay alive, branching out into arguments about survival cinema in general and the state of post-Pixar, post-Lego-Movie animated film. Listen through to our cold-hearted ultimate conclusion and vote on Insta, if the winning film sends a shiver down ya spine

Puree with heat-safe blender/thermomix. Serve with dollop of yoghurt/sour cream, basil/parsley, parmesan.

you've just gotta have no doubt/just believe in your...self ..
Less is NOT more in this chick-lit showdown, where one of our favourite recurring guests Ivana Brehas (https://ivanabrehas.com/) makes the discussion bigger, better, and more dramatique. We watched two confessional tales of aspirational femininity, in which two redheaded pathological liars strive towards the glam jobs/high school musical roles of their dreams whilst casually stringing a fantasy brunette along.
So who has the better confession, our queen Lindsay Lohan in the Disney tween flick 'Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen'? Or Isla Fisher's debt-plagued financial advice columnist in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'? Who IS the real mary/lola/rebecca etc etc

i just want to touch/eat lava okay. tastes like burning :)
The studio is HEATING up this week in more ways than one - Noah and Eliza genuinely get quite fiery at each other over their differing takes on two 1997 cinematic eruptions. 'Dante's Peak' and 'Volcano' came out only months apart in the same year, with plenty of the same lava-and-ash-filled setpieces, and dashing scientists trying not to get sizzled like a sausage in the Bunnings car park.
But the siblings cannot agree on whether Tommy Lee Jones' asshole emergency strategist is enough of a winner!! And we have to hear Noah's 'grandma dying in acid' impression yet AGAIN!! As the flames rise and lava flows, we are left wondering .. are we already burning in hell without even realising it ?? wow

'i hate every monkey movie i see/from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z'
They're our closest genetic relatives but YIKES are they creepy: this week we checked out two films about evil murderous primate, both awesome 80's horror flicks that reckon with the not-so-slight difference between man and MONQUE. George Romero's "Monkey Shines" focuses on a protective capuchin helper monkey, whose quadriplegic owner finds himself living out the creature's animalistic rage. And "Link" traps Elisabeth Shue in an olde English manor with some nice monkeys and one very naughty, cigar-smoking, INCREDIBLY talented orangutan.
Quit monkeying around and hit PLAY already, to hear some incredible tales of in-cinema projection shenanigans and the gang enthusing over Anthony's shiny new studio :o

with a half-century worth of episodes we r officially going through a MID-LIFE CRISIS
On this celebratory 50th Golden Episode, Noah and Eliza show what their mama gave em - some strongly held OPINIONS on boomer cinema!! Joined by legal legend and Janssen family matriarch Leanne Bartram, it's a battle of the generations, centred around two movies that depict and challenge the lofty values and culture of the 1960s, especially when compared to the excess and ruin of the 1980s.
Leanne still loves Forrest Gump, Robert Zemeckis' Oscar-sweeping tear-jerking story of a simple man happening upon American history. Ensemble comedy The Big Chill is a bit more specific, following a weekend of reunion between some hippies-turned-yuppies after a close friend's death. But both have soundtracks that put the BOOM in baby boom, and the discussion may just see a small family get torn apart :O

hoNEY...WHERE's my podcasting SUIT....
We're fangirling over the guest appearance of musical star Karis Oka (@karisoka), who brings us two movies about animated dads trying to relive their glory days. Pixar's The Incredibles definitely comes in hot with Noah, Anthony, and Eliza all scrambling to quote their favourite iconic bits, but don't discount the pure whimsy and surprisingly emotional character storytelling of stop-motion sensation Fantastic Mr Fox.
Which film has the more spectacular animated MILF? Can the input of Donny from The Wild Thornberries help clear things up ?? and most of all: WHAT is Vi hungry for?? (she'd eat if we were having tony loaf) [i said shut UP you little insect]

you either BURN baby BURN, or you DROWN baby DROWN : (
Eliza, Noah, and Anthony return to the 1970s glory days of the disaster genre, big destructive movies in which an ensemble cast of the era's stars dodge debris, rising waters, and some matching schlocky theme songs by Maureen McGovern.
The real life-threatening dilemma is this: which movie actually wins?? We've got a tie for the ages, with the team having mixed feelings on both the sizzling, broader-in-scope star vehicle The Towering Inferno and the splashy religious epic of an upturned boat The Poseidon Adventure. The former has a nice big spread of characters facing a multitude of mini-disasters, plus it's a rare example of a pair of twin films being knitted together. But the latter has Gene Hackman as an angry new age priest in a skivvy, so audience; you gotta help us out!!
Vote via our Instagram page to decide which 70's disaster is, once and for all, the most Towering or uhh Adventurous.

id like to thank the podcasting academy and my agent and my manager and Satan and my mom
Each year the same showbiz debate rears its ugly head: do we really NEEd the Oscars, to arbitrarily rank hollywood film based on what an academy of ol crusty dusties have to say??? and the answer is YES, purely because Noah, Eliza, and Anthony have some Big Opinions on what movies won and what movies should've won at this year's somewhat stilted ceremony.
Going from category to category, the gang analyses the meaning of Nomadland's win, the completely awkward Best Actor presentation, and whether Promising Young Woman is feminist film gold or a piece o shit. And this time, NOBODY's thoughts get passive-aggressively played offstage by some polite orchestral version of 'moon river' or somethin

this is the only time we've ever cared about sports
To celebrate the release of titan showdown 'Godzilla Vs. Kong', we proudly present to you a tournament bracket of every big movie with a 'versus' in the title; that's right, we're gonna fight out who would win in a fight between, say, 'Kramer Vs. Kramer' and then 'Freddy Vs. Jason'. Here's The original bracket, where we'll use nothing but our own smooth brain logic to find an ultimate champion from all these cinematic showdowns.
It doesn't matter if its a nasty divorce settlement, a whimsical journey of self-realisation, or fascist superheroes who don't yet understand that their mums have the same name: one must fall, and one will prosper to beat em all. Who will it be? Check out our completed bracket of each showdown and the winner once you've listened to the episode ;)

i can hear the far-off sound of helicopter parenting on the horizon
’Razzle Dazzle’ is a true underdog story, being about an unconventional children’s dance troupe AND being a little-seen Australian mockumentary that Eliza, Noah, and Meg have randomly championed since age 8. ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’, on the other hand, stars Hollywood comedic talent like Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Allison Janney, and even Brittany Murphy and Amy Adams in supporting roles!! But it may be held back by its dark n nasty comedy stylings...
Delving deep into the trauma of their own childhood stage experiences, the gang will settle this double feature like true dance floor professionals: no beauty pageant sabotage or childnapping required.

these movies will make you long for the golden days of lockdown
In commiseration with Eliza, who is TRAPPED in a CRUEL government's nationally mandated quarantine system (actually an extremely comfy and manageable hotel stay), the gang locks the doors and settles in for a claustrophobic double feature. Or is that 'caustrophobic'?? whatever
David Fincher's potboiler 'Panic Room' and Lenny Abrahamson's novel adaptation 'Room' are both stories of motherhood in captivity, taking place over one tense night for the former and the entire process of imprisonment and escape for the latter. But like, did Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart even need to go in that room? And does Brie Larson's Best Actress-winning performance as a kidnapped teen-turned-bitter-single-mom stand above the original novel's gimmick of seeing it all through a child's eyes?
One thing is certain - the whole team needs to be spending more time outdoors. maybe listen to this episode while out on a walk or something...don't let the walls close in ... :0

'age ain't nothin but a number' - R. Kelly
This week the Janssens get seduced by the enduring baby-boomer magic of 'The Graduate', but also Hal Ashby's less successful 1971 cult hit 'Harold and Maude'. Both films take a darkly comedic look at romance, you see, focusing on a lost young guy and his more senior love interest, all soundtracked to the music of a folk-pop troubadour (Simon & Garfunkel in the former, Cat Stevens in the latter).
Can we really go past the tremendous final shot of 'The Graduate', which has been Meg's desktop background since she was way too young to have watched 'The Graduate'? Or will the quirky and morbid charms of 'Harold and Maude' triumph over the big guys??

WELCOME to the official (unofficial) Nancy Meyers film club!! Noah and returning guest/gf Darcey Eagle have a generous glass of wine at the ready to dive into two Meyers’ classics headfirst.
Kicking things off with a beautifully performed tribute to ‘The Parent Trap’ and all things Nancy, Noah and Darcey uplift the canon of this dramedy writing and directing legend. Will they prefer ‘Something’s Gotta Give’, the 2003 Jack Nicholson film about finding love later in life? Or ‘It’s Complicated’, in which Meryl Streep plays a single mom and bakery owner hooking up with her ex?
Fall in love with this ACTUAL couple’s assessment of Nancy’s onscreen-depiction of boomer romance, and don’t miss Anthony’s review of late-period Meyers hit ‘The Intern’ (‘It’s not bad…it’s just too medium’).

Oops! We Did It Again, and by 'it' I mean watching two pop diva star vehicles and comparing them to each other in this very musical, millennial episode. First we cover Mariah Carey’s regrettable ‘Glitter’, a movie which came out on September 11 2001 (yikes), before moving onto Britney Spear’s well-meaning road-trip movie ‘Crossroads’.
With the recent release of ‘Framing Britney Spears’, 2000s-era pop stardom is under a magnifying lens, and we’re tackling both star personas via their trashy films!! do you love rock n’ roll and long to put another dime in the jukebox baby? Now’s your time to listen in and decide, whether you’re a Lamb or a Spearhead (sic??).

Like Sophie once said...it's okay to cry (it's okay to cry) It's okay to cry (it's okay to cry) It's okay to cry (it's okay to cry)
Movie maven and confirmed Pisces Ivana Brehas joins the siblings yet again this week, as we take a therapeutic lil step back from our usual programming and talk about the movies that make us CRY.
From Noah's tale of a life Ikiru and the tears Eliza has shed over 'old people movies', to Ivana's fave The Misfits and Meg's seemingly bottomless catalogue of weep-worthy movies: these are the emo hits, and we're paradoxically really happy to bring you this discussion of 'em.

Racists HATE THEM! local siblings SOLVE RACISM with this ONE WEIRD TRICK
Writer/filmmaker/probably a wizard Ivana Brehas joins the podcast once more with another genius combination of films; the horror hit ‘Get Out’, and ‘Tyrel’, a lower-budget drama with some mixed critical reception.
There are some truly striking similarities between both movies, what with their Black protagonists being trapped in different micro-aggressing levels of bougie white HELL - so which will win, the huge horror movie that was nominated for Best Picture or the indie piece in which “nothing even happens?”
