It's a movie podcast with barely any movie. Every week comedians Hope Cavendish and Jessica Durand watch only the 51st minute of a film – and then try to piece the rest of it together. They're literally not allowed to see a single frame outside that 51st minute, and they can't google anything until they've made their final guesses. When all is said and done, the gals read a real summary of the movie and discover how right (or wrong) they are.

Hosts Hope and Jessica analyze the 51st minute of *Gangs of New York*, exploring its historical context, religious undertones, and character introductions to decipher the film's complex narrative.

Central Intelligence: "Why are there satellite codes in the first place?"
Jessica and Hope are watching only the 51st minute of the 2016 Kevin-Hart-Dwayne-the-Rock-Johnson action-comedy Central Intelligence! There is somehow both so much and so little going on in this minute. It leaves the gals with a lot to discuss, from satellites to plane theft to Aaron Paul himself. Look, are Jessica and Hope tired for no reason? Yes, but they solider on, like true brothers-in-law.

A Bear Named Winnie: "If I'm in Romania, I'm also in Germany"
We are, to nearly quote Tove Love, "talking bears." Jessica and Hope watch only the 51st minute of the 2004 made-for-television flick A Bear Named Winnie, and there is a heck of a whole lot here with this one. The gals discuss everything from World War I to animal flashbacks to Amy's Nevadan boyfriend from Veep to UTIs. Plus, what celebrity do you think would be good at photoshop? Let's open an investigation.
We'll see you in two weeks for the 51st minute of Central Intelligence!

My Little Pony: The Movie: "I'm not privy to these merponies"
We're here! After a delay that can only be described as Hope's fault, the gals are going rogue this week. Hope and Jessica watch only the 51st minute of the 2017 film My Little Pony: The Movie and try to figure out what this motion picture even is. They unpack cartoon icons, dragons, space, and, unfortunately, "bronies." After the gals lock in their guesses of the plot, they read a real summary of My Little Pony: The Movie, and...jaws drop.

Appetite for Love: "Woman with a bob job"
What can be said about the 51st minute of Hallmark's Appetite for Love? It's jam-packed, it's wild, and it's predictable as hell. Hope and Jessica have a great time guessing what this movie about, and they have a lot of clues: a classic American diner, a sharp bob, and a gentleman named...Freed? When the gals find out what actually happens in this film, they are thrilled to discover that they are truly geniuses.

Citizen Kane: "This is the origin story of Santa Claus"
For our very first episode, we decided to watch a film highly regarded as perhaps the greatest ever made: Citizen Kane. Well, we're just watching the 51st minute of Citizen Kane, but still. This 51st minute has a lot to unpack, from visors to dancing school to 30-year-old actors pretending to be 85. Do Jessica and Hope correctly guess the rest of Citizen Kane from just this minute? Honestly, kind of in a way. Welcome to Minute 51!
