  • Mamma Mia and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    Aug 31 2024

    Howdy, passengers! 'Tis the season for Mamma Mia and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! This episode was a lot of fun to record, in good part because Rachael doesn't like musicals (but does like ABBA). We try to decide which of the Pants girls each one of us is, and go down a Gilmore Girls rabbit hole. Fasten your seatbelts! We hope you enjoy this as much as Meryl seemed to enjoy bouncing on the bed in overalls.

  • Carol (Part 2)
    Dec 5 2023

    Happy Carol Season! We're back with part two of the Ballad of Aird and Belivet. In this episode, our two leading ladies embark on the romance of the midcentury, heading west to Waterloo in Carol's 1949 Packard. We glory in the glamor, the drama, and the unabashed romanticism of the visual storytelling and the wonderful performances of Mara and Blanchett, and swoon over one of the best movie endings of all time. Buckle up, passengers!

  • Carol (Part 1)
    Nov 24 2023

    There's no point in trying to contain our excitement, y'all...it's Carol Season! Join Emily and Rachael in part 1 of our Carol celebration. In this episode, we cover the incredible story behind this gorgeous film, gush over its beautiful score, costuming and cinematography, and praise the performances of Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett as Therese Belivet and Carol Aird (Emily in particular freaks out at length over Cate as Carol). We also recount our own shop girl experiences and discuss hot women smoking in cinema without endorsing it in real life. Fasten your seatbelts!

  • Johnny Guitar (1954)
    Oct 30 2023
    We're back! And right in time for Halloween, with another cult queer and feminist classic - Nicholas Ray and Joan Crawford's 1954 Trucolor Western, Johnny Guitar! This movie is everything. Join Emily with Scott and Pete from the Movies That Made Us Gay podcast to celebrate everything - from the character name "Vienna" (no last name) to Joan Crawford's makeup to Mercedes McCambridge's wonderfully unhinged antagonist Emma Small, plus potential drag routines inspired by the film. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a rowdy night!
