Graham introduces Katie and Ashley to the charming, swashbuckling Muppet adventure where Kermit & the gang (and an amazing Tim Curry) take on the Robert Louis Stevenson's classic.

We gush over her brilliant performance, marvel at Ralph Richardson's portrayal of a particularly dastardly father, and absolutely SWOON over the delicious Montgomery Clift. We then dive into the value of a film with an ambiguous ending, and we wrap it up with Graham asking Ashley a handful of fun media-centered questions.You can find the video Graham brings up at the end here and wonder to yourself, "...

2022-05-131h 01Let Me Introduce YouS3E14 - Grease 2How do you follow up one of the most successful musicals in modern memory? How about you cast relative unknowns in lead roles and get them started with a 1/2 finished script that makes ZERO sense, and only just barely connects to its source material? YES, THIS MOVIE IS GOD AWFUL...but it has earned its cult status over the past almost forty years...so join us as Ashley introduces Katie to a beloved childhood favorite, and the final entry in our SEQUEL SENSATION theme -- 1982's Grease 2.

Series of films we JUST CAN'T FRIGGING BELIEVE the others haven't seen with a big one...a GIANT WHIFFED MISS in Katie's film education, 1986's Labyrinth. This film is a seminal work in the canon of Jim Henson, and showcases some of the amazing things that puppetry can do on film...from something as tiny as a wee little worm who offers you tea with the missus, to a swamp filled with buttholes, or even a collection of weird bird fire things who switch arms and legs and heads (while singing). And who better...
2022-03-111h 04Let Me Introduce YouS3E10 - An Affair to RememberIt's not often we visit the 1950s, but for Ashley's pick in our judgement-free theme (we promise), EXCUSE ME, WHAT?! -- films we cannot believe the others have seen -- we take a romantic trip on an Italian cruise, right into the hearts of Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr in 1957's An Affair to Remember.

But then a...
2022-02-241h 05Let Me Introduce YouS3E9 - AmadeusWe, your beloved podcasters, pride ourselves on our film knowledge and expertise.

This is the one movie that started the whole podcast idea, and a film Graham holds so dear to his heart that he was terrified of showing it to Ashley and Katie. Starring the gorgeous Melanie Griffith, the delicious Harrison Ford, a pitch-perfect-bitch Sigourney Weaver, and the ethereal Joan Cusack, this film follows Staten Islander Tess McGill as works her way...

2021-12-231h 00Let Me Introduce YouS3E7 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (with Justin Krohn)The podcast which you are about to listen to is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of three best friends, in particular Ashely Krohn and her older brother, (and our special guest) Justin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young(ish). But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to view as much of the mad and macabre as they were to watch on film that day. For them an idyllic winter movie double-feature became a nightmare. The events of that viewing were...

2021-11-2458 minLet Me Introduce YouS3E5 - Tombstone (with Zak Kubert)There are those in our lives who know us through thick and thin...who get our dumb senses of humor (because hey, they have the exact same ones) and laugh at the same ridiculous things you did when you were 10 years old. They grew up on the same crap, watched the same movies (whether they wanted to or not) and have the same pop culture blind spots...they're OUR SIBLINGS! So to kick off a theme very close to our hearts, we're starting with Katie's brother Zak, and introducing a seminal work of the 1990s -- a movie that stayed...
2021-11-111h 02Let Me Introduce YouS3E4 - Candyman (1992) (with Jeremy Selenfriend)It's the spooky season, and for you, dear listeners...this is no TRICK, we have a TREAT just for you...after two full seasons where Katie vamped about practical Special Effects for film and television, we thought we'd bring in a PRO to introduce your favorite podcasters to the ins and outs of prosthetic make up, mold making, casting, and the art behind making things creepy...so we're honored and humbled to have SFX artist Jeremy Selenfriend, owner of Monster In My Closet SFX shop, on the show to introduce us to a film that scared HIM as a kid...
2021-10-2859 minLet Me Introduce YouS3E3 - Nine MonthsAh...the summer of 1995. When Hugh Grant's hair was still floppy, the world was mere moments away from making Divine Brown a household name, Tom Arnold was still considered funny enough to be cast in something, and a wee BU School of Performing Arts '83 graduate was starring in her first Hollywood romantic comedy, the subject of our final BU ALUMS theme, Nine Months. Highlighting the sheer beauty of a very 90s (and oddly homosexual-free) San Francisco, this film follows couple Samuel and Rebecca as they find out they are unexpectedly going to be parents. Samuel, brought to life by...

Written by action industry stalwart Shane Black (a script purchased for a record breaking $4 mil), the story opens with an idyllic suburban mother and teacher, Samantha -- a woman who woke up on a New Jersey beach 8 years ago with no memory and pregnant with...

For our season 3 opener, we thought we'd go back to our roots...your three favorite podcasters, as wee babes, were once film and television students at Boston University. And what better way to celebrate that legacy than highlighting movies from BU Alums?! And what better alum to start with than Katie's favorite 1962 CFA graduate, Faye Dunaway? And what better film to highlight than the one that arguably killed her career, 1981's Mommie Dearest?! A bitter, harrowing look into the COMPLETE INSANITY that was SCREEN QUEEN Joan Crawford's life from 1939-1977, written from the point of view of her...

Grant and Sandra Bernhard), wild sets and massive explosions. But then you keep adding...music that makes no sense, actors who just dont...act (or do the opposite and OVERact), slapstick "jokes", weird sound effects, a conspiracy theory plot with so many twists and turns and double crosses it stops making sense, the FBI, the CIA, the Vatican (please, why are...

No rhyme or reason. THAT IS NOT THE CASE for the first film in our IT'S A DISASTER theme -- 1997's Sundance black comedy darling, The House of Yes. This BONKERS film has very. clear. reasons. for not succeeding -- even with Miramax and the great Aaron Spelling behind it.

It was a time of feathered hair, glittering light shows, disco, roller skating, Olivia Newton-John, bizarro animation, a million costume changes, Electric Light Orchestra, stories that make very little sense and of course, it was a time of Xanadu. Graham introduces Katie and Ashley to the stunning fever-dream that is this movie for our second installment of LET'S GET MUSICAL -- starring Olivia Netwon-John, Gene Kelly, Michael Beck (from Warriors fame) in a plot that barely clocks in as competent, but with a soundtrack from ELO that will go down in the annals of history...

Kicking off our special FOUR-PART series, Holi-YAY!, Graham, Katie and Ashley introduce each other to three of our favorite holiday specials.

2020-11-261h 03Let Me Introduce YouEpisode 9 - IdiocracyOur FINAL ENTRY in the "Politics, UGH!" theme as Ashley introduces Graham to the 2006 political comedy, Idiocracy. Co-written by Mike Judge (known for masterpieces like Office Space, Bevis and Butt-head, and King of the Hill) and Etan Cohen (known for trash fires Get Hard and Tropic Thunder), this film is wildly remembered for its amazing open...and very little else. A great premise with an absolutely horrible execution, this film stars a very "hot at the moment" Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard and a slew of other Mike Judge regulars, and tackles the dumbing down of America 500 years in...

Join us for our new theme "Politics, UGH" as Graham tries to introduce Katie to a bit of comedy with Andrew Fleming's Dick (heh...). This Watergate farce places two unflappable teenagers (peak Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) in the White House, working as official Dog Walkers for President Richard Nixon. As the three hosts reminise about the plethora of teen films during the late 90s and early 00s, they realize...the President's dog doesn't poop. He does his "business." It's amazing what two girls, a crush, and some pot...
2020-11-051h 01Let Me Introduce YouEpisode 6 - Night of the Living Dead (1990)It's the last episode of our "Spooky/Scary" series, and Ashley has chosen the gang's first remake, and horror legend Tom Savini's 1990 directorial debut, Night of the Living Dead. JOIN US for Graham's first viewing of this seminal and stylistically forward-thinking film starring a pre-Candyman Tony Todd as Katie waxes poetic about the Sultan of Slaughter's practical special effects. Based on the screenplay for the 1968 original Night of the Living Dead by John A. Russo and George Romero, both films took a huge bite out of diversity and female protagonist representation in the horror establishment. Don't make us come and...
