Monday Dec 27, 2021
For our final Guest episode, we're joined by the lovely Fin from Passport People and his equally delightful fiancé Melanie to discuss an appropriately wedding-themed rom-com that took the box office by storm in 2018 - Jon M. Chu's groundbreaking hit Crazy Rich Asians.
Tune in to hear our thoughts on fashion montages, the timeless fabulousness of Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina stealing every scene she's in and why Henry Golding is the real villain of this movie.
We also brainstorm drinking games, pitch sequel ideas and get a deep-dive into Singapore's cultural history courtesy of Fin!

Big (1988)
Monday Nov 01, 2021

On this week's episode, we discuss the movie magic on display, the 3D effects we wish we could have seen in the cinemas, the post Love Guru redemption of Ben Kingsley and much more, plus drinking games, listener submissions and sequel pitches!

But I‘m a Cheerleader!
Monday Jul 12, 2021
Monday Jul 12, 2021
One of the best LGBTQIA+ movies of its era, But I'm A Cheerleader was a little too ahead of its time to get much box office mileage in 1999, but its cult favourite status has endured thanks to a dedicated fanbase and the adult success of many of its young stars.
On this week's podcast, we're joined by our favourite recurring guest Louise (and her very loud dog in the background - apologies!) to discuss subverting stereotypes, eye-watering colour schemes, RuPaul's strong thigh game and much more!
