Although it's not explicitly bisexual, the film contains more queer eroticism than you can shake a stick at, particularly from Kiefer Sutherland as iconic bad boy David Powers. Along the way, we discuss 1980s paranoia around children, Schumacher's rollercoaster of a filmography, and what vampire stories can tell us about the culture that creates them.

Nat & Alli venture beyond their comfort zone of pop culture and sex puns to explore documentary ethics, avant-garde theatre, and anarcho-pacifism as they discuss Signals Through the Flames. This 1983 documentary centers on the founders of the Living Theatre, Julian Beck and Judith Malina. In the course of their nearly 40-year romantic and creative partnership, Beck and Malina faced poverty and arrest, both took and shared many other lovers, and created an institution of the New York theatrical scene that stands to this day.2022-06-301h 01Snails & Oysters(500) Days of SummerTempers flare as Nat & Alli butt heads over 2009's controversial twee anti-romcom (500) Days of Summer, directed by Marc Webb and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Is it an insightful satire of the romantic comedy genre or a half-baked hit piece written by a spiteful ex? Is Tom a charming but flawed lead or a raging psychopath? But the most important question of all is: Will Nat and Alli's friendship survive this episode?? (Yes).
