You keep what you podcast. The girls are officially running on Diesel because, in this episode, EV had them watch and talk about the 2004 space opera farce, The Chronicles of Riddick. Supposedly, this is a sequel to the sci-fi/horror hit, Pitch Black; however, it plays out more like the vanity project of an edgy D&D nerd trapped in Vin Diesel's body. Wait, nevermind, that's just Vin Diesel. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss whatever is going on with Karl Urban's hair, the ambiguity of play, and the 1985 hit song, "Walk of Life" by Dire Straights.

This podcast started years ago! It took a whole year of episodes, but Bridget was finally able to make the rest of the girls watch an anime movie they all loved: Mamoru Oshii's Patlabor 2: The Movie. With this film, Oshii transforms Patlabor, originally a series of goofy cop shenanigans, into a cold meditation on the concept of "peace" in an era of endless proxy wars. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss blowback, the Tokyo Sarin Gas Attacks, and neoliberal capitalism's inability to respond to problems of their own making.

Is this your podcast, listener? The girls have officially become a real podcast and started their second year of broadcasting. And what better way to kick off the new season than a round table discussion on what is arguably the most iconic comedy of all time, The Big Lebowski. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they chat about post-Reagan politics, recreational marijuana use, and the absurdity of "film theories".
-
We've reached the end of our first year of podcasting, which can only mean one thing: It's time to craft an arbitrary ranking of the films we watched over the course of that first year!

The Podcast has become so very ugly, don't you think? As the girls reach the end of the first season, EV reveals that there has been a mole in their ranks this whole time; the only way they can solve this mystery is by discussing the 2011 spy-thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. An adaptation of a sprawling novel, the film attempts to condense all of its source material's meticulous details down to a red-string-tattered cork-board. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the ideology of conspiracy theory, the aesthetics of power, and, of course, cuckolding.
-
The podcast is not square! Bridget decided to take the girls into The Anime Mines one more time this season and they were not prepared in the slightest for what Gundam Reconguista in G: Movie I — Go! Core Fighter had to offer. As a compilation movie, choices were made of what to include or, more importantly, not include for fresh viewers and the results are mostly catastrophic. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss Yoshiyuki Tomino, misogyny, and cannibalism
-
As you podcast...join the girls as Bri reads them a bedtime story about giant rats, Andre the Giant, and The Princess Bride. Despite being a beloved piece of pop culture, Jae has managed to avoid seeing this film for her whole life; will she love it as much as the rest of the group? There's only one way to find out and, in case you weren't aware, that's by listening to the dang episode! Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss storytelling, true love, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
-
You pod what you love and cast the rest. The girls hit the highway for the final loop, as Jae has the group watch '00s indie darling, Little Miss Sunshine. Part dysfunctional family drama, part dark comedy, and all deconstruction of the insidious gender norms that permeate American culture, Little Miss Sunshine remains an entertaining road movie from start to finish. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss American exceptionalism, Osmosis Jones, and various flavors of familial baggage.
-
Alright, you know the deal: are you going for the chicken or the podcast? Anime Fun Time is over, as EV took the rest of the girls to something that can barely be categorized as a movie: Minecraft but I survive in PARKOUR CIVILIZATION [FULL MOVIE]. Essentially a compilation of YouTube Shorts, Parkour Civilization is an amalgamation of Let's Plays, anti-capitalist art, and algorithm manipulation. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the post-YouTube media landscape, naive art, and the rule of tens in comedy.
-
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach her how to podcast. The anime relay race enters the final stretch as Bridget takes the girls to the horse track with Uma Musume: Pretty Derby — Beginning of a New Era. Although the girls appreciate the concept and moments of stunning animation, the opinions on the final product are mixed, to say the least. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the moé-to-gacha game pipeline, the works of David Lynch, and whether or not value can be derived from commercials
-
Once you give up, the podcast is truly over. Bri is running the anime basketball down the court, as she brings the girls to The Championships in The First Slam Dunk! The directorial debut of esteemed manga artist Takehiko Inoue, The First Slam Dunk stuns the girls by both capturing the feeling of an amazing sports game while also feeling like a monumental achievement in anime, akin to Akira or Nausicaa. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss sports dynasties, herniated disks, and the questionable quality of 3D animation in Japan.
-
We may be a movie podcast first and foremost, but, goddamnit, we contain multitudes! In their first bonus episode, the girls spend a couple hours running down what their favorite gaming experiences of 2024 were. They're unbridled by year of release, objective quality, and even the broad concept of what defines a video game in these rankings, so don't expect a conversation on the tent pole releases of last year; however, you can expect conversations on movie tie-in games, political philosophy, and the cosmic horror of crafting "player-driven" narratives.
-
I wish this spiral were a podcast. The wildcard is back in action this episode, as Jae takes the rest of the girls into the Nasu-verse with The Garden of Sinners: Paradox Spiral. Despite being the fifth film in an eight film franchise, Jae makes the argument that this part manages to function well outside of that context by virtue of being a bottle-episode-style mystery thriller. Let's find out if the rest of the girls agree! Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss blatant product placement, visual novel exposition, and asshole wizards.
-
Some podcasters always tryin' to ice-skate uphill. EV has once again brought the rest of the girls back to the late 90s, this time to check out the proto-MCU comic book adaptation, Blade; it's arguably the most 90s-coded film they've watched so far, for all the positive and negative associations tied to such a label. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss medieval circumcision, Enron, and how Deacon Frost sleeps in an earthquake-proof bed.
-
Come with me if you wanna podcast. After being stuck in the shadow of Tom Green with the last episode, Bridget was feeling like the rest of the girls were headed for a dark fate - Terminator: Dark Fate, that is! Much maligned at release, this entry in the Terminator series bombed in both the box office and public eye; thankfully, the girls discover throughout this viewing that it's a movie deserving of cultural re-evaluation. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the collapse of empire, franchise fatigue, and Crunchyroll doorbusters.
-
They're podcasters! Mooooooooooooovie podcasters!!! This week, Bri woke up and chose chaos, having the rest of the girls watch 2001's Freddy Got Fingered; spearheaded by Tom Green, the film serves as a metaphor for how film studios will unwittingly throw away millions of dollars on the hot new thing, without realizing why exactly people like said hot new thing. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the Schick Hydrobot, Lego depictions of national tragedies, and the morality of shock humor.
-
Yo, homie, is that my podcast? On this episode, Jae is making the rest of the girls hop from one neo-noir film to another as they discuss Michael Mann's Collateral. Although it was easily Mann's most successful movie financially at the time, Collateral seemed to be an entry in his filmography stuck in the shadow of giants; thankfully, this thrilling character study about a taxi driver unwillingly taking an assassin from hit to hit over the course of a single night has cemented itself over the last two decades as a classic. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss jazz, nihilism (derogatory), and the atomizing impact of cars on modern society.
-
God bless you, podcast listener! This October, the girls decided to celebrate the Halloween season by talking about the scariest topic of all: America's War on Drugs. That's right, per EV's connection, this episode they're discussing Bill Duke's underrated neo-noir film, Deep Cover, starring Lawrence Fishburne and Dark Jeff Goldblum. Although it's a fascinating exploration of the futility of those operations in the face of a deeply obfuscated and ever-evolving geopolitical landscape, this film firstly manages to be a slick and enthralling thriller like no other. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss barbecue jumbo shrimp, the ethics of boning down The Oncler, and double consciousness.
-
It took eleven episodes, but the girls have finally arrived in The Cage Zone. That's right, this time around, Bridget selected the 2018 Nicolas Cage vehicle, Mandy, directed by Panos Cosmatos. An atmospheric, hallucinogenic-addled revenge flick, Mandy juggles a variety of tones to craft an ethereal experience difficult to capture in a short podcast blurb. Frankly, it's difficult to capture in an audio discussion as well, but damnit are the girls gonna try! Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss chainsaw fights, coping with severe emotional damage, and whether or not Nicolas Cage is an experienced smelter.
-
Is the podcast over? No, of course not, the girls have only been going at it for nine episodes and this time around they'll be discussing Bri's new pick, The Triplets of Belleville. This French animated film from the early 00s left quite the impression upon first release and the gang is on a quest to discover whether this narrative about dedication has withstood the test of time, especially in a vastly different animation landscape. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss casual fatphobia, the inevitability of failure, and whether or not one must imagine Sisyphus happy.
