Two Degrees of KenKendra explains the zombie version of Pride & PrejudiceKendra gave a film a 2 star on Letterboxed and must debrief with Ken about it. They made Mr. Darcy the villain!! Pride and Prejudice and Zombies came out in 2016 which KG did not remember, but looked up after. She stands by it feeling like Gossip Girl, despite being many years apart.Is the audio of this podcast kind of bad.. yes, but on the plus side it exists and therefore is a miracle. Miracles are something Kendra clearly believes in due to religion and her thoughts on sacrament which she brings up. You'll hear us next week...
2025-10-2321 minTwo Degrees of KenKendra puts the bride in Bride of FrankensteinKen and Kendra talk Frankenstein vs Bride of Frankenstein, and shockingly Kendra sides with the man this time. The main issue? The Bride's screen time. The long wait only for only a (very) brief turn for the Bride was too much (little) for Kendra to get behind. Ken really appreciated the downer worldview and the sequel goofiness, especially the performance of Dr. Pretorious, but he gets it. They also talk Edward Scissorhands, Vincent Price and new Naked Gun Movie, The Naked Gun. Things end on uncertain terms, but we will be back next week. Right!?!

2025-09-1848 minTwo Degrees of KenKen and Kendra are Caught StealingKen and Kendra are caught stealing…glances through a wild movie theater experience! Join them as they discuss it in detail, it being both the movie and the gum that stuck to Kendra’s pants! Spoiler warning! After the 15:30 mark spoilers begin and they talk about certain major events in the film. Still, they tend to lean heavy on vagaries, as they are wont to do. Either way, it’s a fun time about one topic! They tried to stay positive and they did, except about the movie or the theater experience. But as a hang? What a time!
2025-09-1034 minTwo Degrees of KenIt Happened One Night, Kens discuss SpaceballsThe Kens are back and they get all chummy. Kendra watched the 1934 classic It Happened One Night and it reminded her of Spaceballs, a childhood favorite. Ken also saw it somewhat recently and it reminded him of Bugs Bunny wearing lipstick. They also discuss Clark Gable, Bill Pullman and Young Frankenstein, and imagine the both of them wearing lipstick. Remember, Peter Boyle played Frankenstein’s monster. But he would also be cute in lipstick. Then Ken steers them through the latest slate of movie in theaters today, like Honey Don’t, Caught Stealing and Splitsville among others. Why haven’t they...
2025-09-0447 minTwo Degrees of KenKen (Jane) Eyre's his grievancesThe Kens are all over the place with this one. Kendra continues her streak of reading about hungry children, and she’s found a hot new video game she couldn’t wait to share with everyone.

Ken introduces Ken’s Quibbles, his attempt to right polite society’s wrongs. Does he sound like an asshole? Kendra politely says no. He also discusses some disappointing recent beach house movie watches, Fear Street: Prom Queen inno...

Much like a well-appointed scent dish, this discussion is chock full of dead flowers and suspect spices. Do they have a 'two degrees' connection this week? Yes! Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age) and Will Sharpe (Too Much) have both been on White Lotus. Do they mention on the show? No, because they’re cowards and lack mettle. But what they lack in integrity, the more than make up for in thei...

Ken and Kendra are back, and this time they actually explain what that means, at least a little bit. First, Kendra tells Ken about The Summer I Turned Pretty, which is weird, because that was before she’d ever even met me. Ken takes her word for it. Then they discuss Celine Song’s new genre-bending, or - avoiding, minor hit Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, & Pedro Pascal. The drama is heightened, literally.

This week they talk Sorry, Baby (spoilers start at 5:45, end at 28:30) and Superman (spoilers start 31:00, end at 48:30), two movies about which they had a lot to say. Take an ear gander and remember, they do this because they love you. It’s so good to be back...

But Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Journee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as The Huntress and Rosie Perez make it all so much fun!

He does not recommend Alien 3, which he rewatched recently after about 25 years. He’s been telling people that it’s not half bad. Which is true, because it’s all bad. He also suggests not trying to scare yourself by looking into a mirror in a dark bathroom. Yes, he’...

They’re happy about Parasite, sad about Great Gerwig’s loss, and truly still befuddled about the reason behind Eminem’s performance. They approve of Pitt and Dern, but wonder what Renee Zellweger’s speech was about. They know what Joaquin Phoenix speech was about: milk! They also take the time to declare their sickness, as well as their full support for Kendra’s other podcast. It’s called Someone Lived Here and there’s a bonus ep out now about the Louisa May Alcott house. Ken is in no way jealous about this other podcast...
2020-02-1128 minTwo Degrees of KenKendra and Ken discuss Sex Education, ie the Super Bowl Halftime ShowKendra and Ken are back, talking Super Bowl Surprises, Oscar snoozes, but mostly the beautiful intricacies of the Netflix show Sex Education. Kendra ranks the villains of the show, while Ken defends the lead character Otis, perhaps protesting too much. Ken also shouts out the music on the show, particularly Ezra Furman whose soundtrack for the show has just recently been released. Of course Gillian Anderson rules. But they both want to take the time to point out the bright shining brilliance of Ncuti Gatwa, who plays Eric. He’s the heart and soul of the show, and the ma...
