   ep. 113 | LGBTQ+ History Month: Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) & The Birdcage (1996)

   Some episodes take the scenic route. This one was recorded in June, sat patiently through the summer, and landed right where it belongs — LGBTQ+ History Month. Colleen and Ada sit down with two of queer cinema’s most beloved classics: John Cameron Mitchell’s “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”, a punk rock odyssey about identity, love, and the origin of the soul, and Mike Nichols’ “The Birdcage”, where Robin Williams and Nathan Lane turn a Florida drag club into the most chaotic, loving, and surprisingly moving household in cinema. And somewhere in between, “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar” crashes the party — because of course it does. Happy LGBTQ+ History Month!

   ep. 112 | Band Movies: Spice World (1997), Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025), A Hard Day’s Night (1964) & Help! (1965)

   This week, Wickham and Ada explore a very specific cinematic tradition — band movies, where the music is the myth and the myth needs a screen. From the Beatles' anarchic two-film romp with Richard Lester in the '60s, to the Spice Girls turning girl power into a gloriously chaotic road trip, to The Weeknd's dark, semi-autobiographical farewell to his own stage persona in Hurry Up Tomorrow. Someone had to watch some of these, so you don't have to. You're welcome — press play and embrace the chaos.

   ep. 111 | 80's Dance Movies: Foot Loose (1984) & Dirty Dancing (1987)

   This week, Colleen and Ada lace up and hit the floor with two of the defining dance movies of the 1980s. Footloose brings the rebellion — a city kid rolls into a small town where dancing is literally illegal, and what follows is equal parts culture clash, coming-of-age story, and undeniable soundtrack. Then, Dirty Dancing brings the romance — a sheltered young woman's summer vacation takes an unexpected turn when she falls for the resort's brooding dance instructor, and nobody puts Baby in a corner. A decade that really knew how to move.
