We also unpack the movieâs outrageous gags, surprisingly stacked cast, and whether the Austin Powers franchise still holds up today (spoiler: itâs complicated).
Is Goldmember the ultimate time capsule of early-2000s pop culture? And how did it hint at BeyoncĂ©âs massive future in film and music? Tune in for a hilarious and nostalgic conversation to find out!

Surprise, Swifties and sleuths! For our April Foolsâ bonus episode, Phil and Emily hit pause on the movie talk to investigate one of the most unexpected pop culture crossovers of the 2000s: Taylor Swiftâs guest appearance on CSI: Crime Scene Investigationâyes, really.
In this chaotic and deeply unserious deep dive, we break down the 2009 episode âTurn, Turn, Turn,â where Taylor plays a rebellious teen who journals, wears eyeliner, and may or may not be involved in a murder. We discuss her acting chops (or lack thereof), how this episode somehow turns into a montage of three separate crimes, and why this CSI arc feels like a Black Mirror episode we hallucinated.
Along the way, we spiral into discussions about Cats, Les MisĂ©rables, My Chemical Romance, and the long-lost dream of Gaylor. If youâve ever wanted to hear two film nerds try to unpack goth Taylor Swift getting murdered with scissors on CBS primetime⊠this is the episode for you.
