Feels Like the First TimeEp. 31: Armageddon (Super-Mega-Belated 4th of July Episode)It's our third ever 4th of July special and our FIRST time covering a Michael Bay experience on the show. Blast off as Emily ponders if she's watching propaganda and considers the plight of being an oil man in space. But more than anything, we've somehow manage to capture the pure, unfiltered weirdness that is Emily in this singular episode. The 40 second intro to this one is possibly the best thing Jake has ever edited, distilling the Strangeness That Is Emily into a perfect summation. A trailer for her, if you will. So, you're welcome, and enjoy. Strap in...2023-08-191h 20Feels Like the First TimeEp. 30: Wild Things (Bonus Sleazy V-Day Episode)We bout to get sleazy up in heeeeeeeeeeere!!!

Why do we talk about Hugh Grant, Shoresy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Vanilla Sky (check our episode on this one!!!), Our Lord And Savior Nicolas Cage, sand, Jeremy Allen White, The Dog of Wisdom, mushrooms, and more on this one?

As per usual our conversation goes all over the place and we have tangents galore, including topics not limited to: Stephen King, Werner Herzog, Michael Bay, Star Wars, Cabaret, Mike Flanagan, Checkhov, My Chemical Romance, Silversun Pickups, The Strokes, The Great British Baking Show, The Shape of Water, and more... including more Werner Herzog. What does ANY OF THIS...2023-02-161h 55

Press the pedal through the floor and stay above 50 mph as you join us for a heap of summer fun as we fix the fact that Emily has blinders on to the world (okay, okay I'll stop quoting Dennis Hopper's utterly infectious scenery-chewing performance now).

Thankfully we're on the other side and doing much better, and so you get this belated holiday special.

Oh man... This one was a bit of a risky bet. Jake knows that EVENTUALLY he will show Emily something he loves that she doesn't dig (it has definitely happened before). The Rules of Attraction was in the "yeah this might not go so well" column of options for us to do an episode on. Will this be the one that breaks Emily? Will Jake ever get over that shot of Jessica Biel dancing in the hallway? Do we need @$$holes on our elbows?

Or will she prove to be probably dead inside and not feel all the feels? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT as we watch and ramble about Vanilla Sky!

Or, well not really so much that as we just hella vibe on Paul Thomas Anderson's seminal classic, Boogie Nights, which just so happens to be set amidst the 70s-80s porn industry.

When Emily and Jake meet-cute at a recovery group for nose fetishists, sparks fly. But while they're engaging in pankkake and deciding whether GIFs are the ultimate love language, a sadistic ventriloquist and its doppelgänger capture them and make them sing the entire Moulin Rouge soundtrack together while replacing every instance of the word "love" with "Doug." Can their relationship survive such frisky ear violence, or will they have to update their OK Cupid profiles?
