With the power to destroy any planet or rebelling system, Karre decides it’s not a path he’ll go down. Confronting Am, Karre faces the dark side, full force.

Curiosity Killed the CatSTAR WARS NOVELS : Revenge of The SithWhat have we here?! The Revenge of The Sith novel of course… For this episode I’m joined by Tom from The Clone Cast podcast and thankful for it! We discussed Dooku, Windu, Yoda, Padme, Obi Wan, AND yucky Palpatine. Did we rate them character-wise on a scale of 0-10? Yes, yes we did. It was a true delight talking to Tom about how emotionally devastating this book was. As if the movie isn’t painful enough… Hope you enjoy! (my deepest apologies for the audio crackles that pop up🙆♀️)

This episode I discuss Cersei Lannister with my friend, Author Adrienne Dillard! Join us as we dive into the dark waters of Casterly Rock’s eldest daughter… We struggled coming to terms with her being a flat out villian. In a world full of gray characters in George RR Martin’s world, she remains unjustified in almost every action she’s taken. We hope you enjoy this fun take on a girl turned Queen & in time turned paranoid in prophecy… And so, so much more! Including a fascinating take on the sea witch sire...

2021-10-2045 minHello ThereSW VISIONS : The DuelI can’t describe how much I’ve grown to love THE DUEL! It’s the first episode of VISIONS and it remains my favorite out of the ones I’ve seen. And I love ALL of the ones I have seen. The black, gray, whites, and little pops of colors give it a very retro/ nostalgic feel. Ronin is an elite Star Wars character to me know so thank you SW gods!

I’m talking about Clone Wars 2D Micro-Series✨ Relentlessly paced, scary droids, and classic Cartoon Network style animation. I LOVE this show! For this podcast episode I focus on the beginning of the story. Anakin commanding his own squadron & fighting Asajj, Asajj’s introduction, and ObiWan battling a giant scary droid that can reassemble itself.

2021-08-2435 minHello ThereTCW MOVIE : Where The Fun BeginsHELLO THERE! Welcome to the first episode! Today I will be getting into The Clone Wars (film). Meeting Ahsoka (properly) was a real treat. I can see the the mirroring of Anakin’s connection to Obi with her. Their banter is as sibling-like as his and Obi’s. A true master and apprentice. My heart will definitely shatter into a million pieces knowing they added her to the mix of “people Anakin got attached to” list. Time to rescue baby Hutt and deal with his family DRAMA.

Every wheel has its sister sign and these two films fit the bill. Both the numbers twos in their Dino DNA timelines with both upping the ante in therms of effects and scares. The Lost World: Jurassic Park left a HUGE impression on me as a kid & to this very day. (The San Diego finale didn’t help much growing up/living here😳) As for Fallen Kingdom… Whoever said let’s kick things up a few notches deserves a trophy. Like five. A c...

Al Pacino & Robert DeNiro Star in this grade A, top notch action love letter to Los Angeles and gun sounds! Pew pew! Michael Mann’s 1995 visually spectacular creation has influenced countless film for decades now. Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd, Dennis Haysburt, baby “Padme” Natalie Portman herself & many more add infinite star power to this movie. So get in the chopper and let’s cruise the LA seedy, criminal underworld together. One score at a time… Find me at @SaraPalpatine on Twitter to write in!
2021-07-021h 20Curiosity Killed the CatTHRONES : Mama Stark & Papa LannisterTime to call out some fiction characters! This episode features heavy commentary on Catelyn Stark, Tywin Lannister, and Daddy Stark (Rickard). Cold as ice to certain children of “theirs” while warm to others is a thread Tywin and Catelyn have in common. But what about Ned’s father? He’s a hoot, not really. He’s pretty conniving for a Northman, and I don’t like the vibe he’s sending. So buckle up as we leave Hogwarts for Winterfell and beyond! This is a Game of Thrones show & A Song of Ice and Fire book friendly episode.

The strength it takes to come out the gate like a LION, the way Britney did speaking out against her conservatorship is gargantuan. She let the world know what she’s been going through in less than a half hour. This time we listened. For this episode, I tried to focus on the accountability of those around her, the toxic media, and yes Justin effing Timberlake. Don’t worry I didn’t get too angry, just sending out some Michael Corleone vibrations to the vampires who’ve been sucking up her fortune, free will...
2021-06-2745 minCuriosity Killed the CatPOTTER AFTER DARK : Slytherins & The Battle for HogwartsLet me spin this real quick. Potter After Dark… a side series discussing stand out moments in the Harry Potter universe. Tonight’s is all about the treatment of House Slytherin during The Battle for Hogwarts. DEATHLY HALLOWS BABY! In the film they are locked up without the option to fight. The novel simply states no of age wizard in Slytherin will fight at all. I smell a fishy contradiction coming up ahead. Several actually!

This episode is all about 2015’s The Force Awakens. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and ready for Star Wars to bless us with a new film. And bless my stars they did it. Finn, Rey, bb8, old Han, Leia, Kylo, and Poe. All of these characters made up a rich tapestry in the Skywalker Saga. Criticisms can be made about anything and this film was no exception. However I stand firm in my belief that this film was a masterpiece that br...

In this bonus episode I’m discussing Martin Scorcese’s Casino, released in 1995. This Las Vegas jaunt paints the tale of Sam, Nicky, and Ginger making their way through ‘70s Vegas. By the end of the film you’re left wondering who’s scamming who, who’s screwing who, and who is about to get whacked by the guys back at home. All I know is Ginger would definitely be out here today scamming Silicon Valley tech bros out of their cryptocurrency...

In this episode I’ll be talking all about Batman Returns. This is a one of the most legendary, cult classic Batman tales. The introduction of not one, not two, but THREE villains in one film should have been overwhelming... How did it have the space to fit Pfieffer, DeVito, and Walken into a film already starring Michael Keaton? By doing what Batman does best, sharing space for others to shine. Keaton’s subtle performance anchored this story so the bad guys could go bananas. And they did! From high...
2021-05-161h 52Curiosity Killed the CatREVENGE OF THE SITH : Thoughts From 2005Hello there! This is my first “proper” Star Wars episode! Like Anakin turning to the darkside it was a long road here. With such a vast universe surrounding Star Wars where does one even begin?! How about in a theater in 2005 at the bright age of 18... In this episode I will be discussing the moments that blew my galaxy apart at that time. Padme & Anakin are married AND having a baby? I loved seeing their young love. The Palpatine portrayal was so rich and lush I was thinking about joining the Sith myself. BUT nothing prepared me for Mustafar... I left...

Michael, the ever evolving Don, transcends to a level even those closest to him cant quite comprehend. After an assassination attempt on his life he is hell bent of procuring the man behind the order. Perhaps even more so with the family member who gave information to someone outside of the line.

This is TROY for me. Watching this all the way through was such a fun, vibrant, chariot-esque ride! However I will be blacking out the moment poor Hector ends up at the feet of Achilles chariot. The actors in this film are top tier and you can clearly see they all enjoyed the roles they got to play. It’s palpable and this is what makes this movie so special and enjoyable. Su...

2021-03-311h 04Curiosity Killed the CatTHE GODFATHER PRT 1 : The First HalfWow! I thought the SnyderCut was long! What a ride this story is. In this episode I discuss the first half of The Godfather Part One. THE wedding, a little trip to Hollywood, the attempt on Vito’s life, and the Anakin Skywalker Tuscan Raider moment of Michael Corleone... One step into the dark side and it’s a hell of a slippery slope from there. He turns/steps into one of the most calculating characters of all time. A master planner, creator of his own legend & image... But we learn very quickly it’s all just a fantasy, castles made o...
2021-03-241h 31Curiosity Killed the CatSYNDERCUT : Justice LeagueDuuuuuuude... What was that? Artwork brought to life? I was not expecting to feel the feels I felt about The Snyder Cut of Justice League. Four hours of what felt like a painting in motion, it was beautiful! The actors deserved this cut, as did Mr. Snyder. In this bonus-sode I spent my time admiring not only the style of the film, but it’s rough journey to how it got here, now. Are you ready for the four hour epic ride that is The Justice League : SYNDERCUT?

So join me as I journey into the madness of WandaVision one rabbit hole at a time. With such provocative predictions as... a St...

2020-11-2403 minCuriosity Killed the CatONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD: A Curiously Captivating FilmHAPPY HALLOWEEN KITTY CATS! Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (Best Picture Winner) is my favorite Quentin Tarantino film. Provocative opinion? Perhaps... Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth are the epitome of iconic duo goals. They literally slay. In this episode I highlight some memorable moments, but focus on the climactic ending. Violent? Yes. But... I’m pretty sure someone once said that these violent delights have violent ends. Sooo when it comes to the creepy zombie hippie freaks who committed REAL acts of incomprehensible evil... Let’s watch ‘em burn in fiction! Chef’s kiss!

2020-10-191h 18Curiosity Killed the CatSHARON TATE: A Curious WomanIn this episode my best friend Ashley is back to discuss the LIFE of Sharon Tate with me. She was many things... A golden ray of sunshine in spirit. A rising star in Hollywood. She was cherished and beloved by her family. At the end of the day she was a young woman on the brink of experiencing the strange dichotomy of new motherhood and work. The summer of 1969 would find that upcoming journey stolen when it had just begun. *THIS EPISODE IS A DISCUSSION ABOUT HER LIFE & LIGHT ONLY🌞

2020-09-241h 00Curiosity Killed the CatTHE SCOURING OF BLACK WALL ST: Curious ConspiraciesThe conspiracy here lies within the hoarding of information and the spreading of misinformation... On May 31st 1921 the district of Greenwood, Ok went from looking like a utopian & bustling society to a literal war scene from hell by June 1st. White supremacy, radical evil, and pure jealousy fueled the fire that demolished this all black township. Join me as I discuss parallels between this day and what Nazi Germany did during its regime, why I quote Galadriel from Lord of the Rings, and how the city of Tulsa kept this piece of history quite for so long... BLM
2020-09-1746 minCuriosity Killed the CatSARAH CONNOR: Heroes SeriesHEROES SERIES PART TWO: The MVP hero of The Terminator Universe is Sarah Connor. She transforms from a young, naive waitress in 1984’s Terminator, to a mother on the edge of her humanity by T2. In 2019’s Dark Fate she is a mother grieving the loss of her child and purpose decades later with a penchant for drinking & keeping her phone in potato chip bags. Through out all of this she remains a warrior fighting for ALL humanity. If it costs her some of her own she’s willing to do it. HEROOO!
2020-08-3035 minCuriosity Killed the CatLORD EDDARD STARK: Heroes SeriesHEROES SERIES PART ONE: Hello kitties! Winter has come, and the north wolf is here! I’m talking about LORD EDDARD STARK! He is the fist hero to show up for duty in A Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire. Ned is complex in his internal emotions, yet stoically strong, and is capable of true sacrifice. We see him first through his child’s eyes and from that moment he became a hero to ALL of us. The Lannister’s made a big mistake killing him. HUGE. You chop off one wolf’s head and the pack shows up...
2020-08-2937 minCuriosity Killed the CatIT (THE MONSTERS OF IT) : A Curious ConversationLet’s talk MONSTERS! In Stephen King’s gargantuan sized novel “IT”, his monster changes its form 32 times... Frankenstein’s monster, Ms. Kersh, a statue of Paul Bunion, a deceased friend’s head, a familiar looking vampire, and an 8 foot tall Doberman Pincher to name a few of the greats. This Clown Queen was serving quick change looks all day, everyday. Yet it seems as though this so called “eater of worlds” bit off more than IT could chew when IT messed with THIS Loser’s Club! So yeah... that oozy, gewy leper is going to get a 4 out of 10. And tbh, it’s the...

A deplorable illegal marriage to a monster at 14. Once she was out of his company she soared to undeniable heights. Her growth, nurtured by Timbaland and Missy Elliott took us to places in music we did not know existed yet. A triple threat on the rise with a movie about to come out (Queen of the Damned) and an even bigger one on the horizon (The Matrix)... She was becoming stellar, her own planet. It was all cut short when her private...
2020-08-0429 minCuriosity Killed the CatIT (A FOCUS ON MIKE HANLON) : A Curious ConversationIT’s here..... Mike Hanlon is the focus of this discussion today. His character adaptation from the novel to the film is one of the biggest “mishaps” in modern cinema. Between IT Chapter One and Chapter Two there are close to five hours of perfect book portrayals. For everyone except... Mike. When you know better you do better and the studio knew exactly what it was doing when they reconstructed his character. Ugh I am going to go smash my head into the wall. *THERE WILL BE A GUEST HEAVY STEPHEN KING BONUS EPISODE UP SOON/ WE WILL GET INTO MORE O...
2020-08-021h 05Curiosity Killed the CatTHE BODYGUARD: Curiously Captivating FilmsThe chemistry between Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston deserved an Oscar. Speaking of The Academy how ‘bout that creepy stalker guy with the camera gun? Don’t worry Frank Farmer is here to do what he does best... Protect and brood. Whitney’s Rachel Marron is a mood, vibe, and mantra. Period.
2020-07-2737 minCuriosity Killed the CatDYATLOV PASS INCIDENT: Curious ConspiraciesIn our last CURIOUS CONSPIRACY episode we travelled to an airport in Denver... Let’s take off to Russia now shall we? The Ural Mountains (aka The Death Mountain) are infamous for the Dyatlov Pass Incident. An event so mystifying and tragic, many to this day believe there is more to the story. UFO? Government military experiment gone wrong? Yettis? Its a list that still grows today. Now it’s time to take a look into the nine vibrant lives that were lost that bleak, Russian winter...
2020-07-2056 minCuriosity Killed the CatMIDSOMMAR: Curiously Captivating FilmsWell it’s a good thing all the festivals have been canceled forever because you wouldn’t want to end up at this one... Flower crowns, boho dresses, and questionable herbal concoctions can be found at many a festival, but what about crappy boyfriends in bear suits? Or games like skin the fool? Or girls walking stupid? Nothing like a good old fashion cliff dive into no water right? This movie leaves a few things broken inside of you by the time it gets done...

2020-07-161h 10Curiosity Killed the CatMARILYN MONROE: A Curious WomanIn today’s surprise episode I am joined by my bffl Ashley and we go on a journey into America’s greatest Gemini... Marilyn Monroe! From Norma Jean ( um hello Britney Jean Spears 9th cousin, 3 times removed! ) Baker to the Venus Marilyn Monroe. A true dichotomy of the identity. She’s came from the humblest of beginnings and carried a humility to her that was inherit and infectious. We dived into the pool of goodness for awhile and giggled like little girls until we started treading into darker waters. Trash needed to be talked about: Arthur Miller pulling a Ross Geller...
2020-07-121h 34Curiosity Killed the CatJOSEPHINE BAKER PART TWO: A Curious WomanAs we move on from fighting Nazis in the 40’s, we head into life with The Rainbow Tribe aka her 12 children , being asked to be the head/ face of the civil rights movement after Dr. MLK Jr was murdered, and her epic funerals (there were three, one included a 21 gun salute!) That’s not just legendary, that’s mythical!
2020-07-021h 12Curiosity Killed the CatDENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: Curious ConspiraciesThe DIA aka Denver International Airport has conspiracies flying in and out of it all day. First class too. On this bonus episode I get into several of the airport’s oddest features. There is a giant zombie looking death horse statue ( that actually killed the artist in a freak accident ). Or how about the post apocalyptic mural featuring death, war, and destruction? Underground tunnels, possible sonic booms, and a very questionably shaped runway. Their hair must be so big with all those juicy secrets!
2020-06-2749 minCuriosity Killed the CatJOSEPHINE BAKER PART ONE: A Curious WomanHello Kittens! Josephine Baker lived a life so full and big it would knock you over. In Part One I discuss her birth in St. Louis, Missouri, and how her rise to fame to led her from Harlem, NYC to Paris. It was there she became everything she ever wanted to be... Beloved for her craft, her charm, and just her being. A nasty return to NYC left a bitter memory in her mind to never forget those still in America suffering from deep seated racism. She resisted all forms of oppression, becoming a valuable fighter in The French Resistance...
2020-06-2239 minCuriosity Killed the CatPET SEMATARY NOVEL & FILM: A Curious ConversationDo you have demon cats from hell stinking up your house lately? Nosy neighbors taking you to the backwood magic cemetery? The undead offering to cut up a rug with you recently? IF SO call Stephen King now! I’m getting into Stephen King’s novel Pet Sematary and the 2019 film adaptation. This book was pure horror energy that was turned up to an 11. The movie? A solid 7. [SAVING THE ORIGINAL MOVIE - WRITTEN BY STEPHEN KING- FOR AN UPCOMING EPISODE- STAY TUNED]
2020-06-141h 20Curiosity Killed the CatTHE WOMEN OF FRIENDS: A Curious Conversation.We’ve all seen the tidal wave of opinions about how the hit 90’s show Friends hasn’t aged so well. It’s a network sitcom show that begun in the 90’s and ended in ‘04. So yeah... Nothing from that period aged well except Law and Order SVU (another podcast, another time). In Part One a few friends and I discuss the gals: Phoebe, Rachel, and Monica. Annnnd most importantly Monica’s closet, the best plot twist of the series in my honest opinion. The fellas will be featured in Part Two!

2020-05-2847 minCuriosity Killed the CatCURSE OF POLTERGEIST: Curious ConspiraciesCuriosity got the better of me when doing the research for this one! Poltergeist is a film riddled with tales of tragedy and near disasters. And real skeletons, lots and lots of real effing skeletons. I mean... Like a swimming pools worth of ‘em... This season will be full of bonus HOLLYWEIRD episodes, so come play with us Danny.

2019-12-2930 minCuriosity Killed the CatTOMBSTONE: Curiously Captivating FilmsYou’re the one Wyatt! The bromance between Kurt Russel’s Wyatt and Val Kilmer’s Doc is one for the ages. Chemistry, quotable lines, and gothic western imagery are the stand outs of the movie Tombstone. Join me, Sara as I discuss MANY more! (Including all that ole timey BTS juicey gossip.)
2019-12-2627 minCuriosity Killed the CatBRITTANY MURPHY: A Curious WomanThis week's Pussycat of the Week deserved her own stand alone episode, Ms. Brittany Murphy. Her career was expansive for such a short life, her talent seemed limitless, and her charm won our hearts over time and time again. Join us as we highlight the good, and a little of the not so good. Me, Kelsey, and Amanda break the ice with a conspiracy or two or ten. Meow!
