Do you and your friends speak in movie quotes? Do you trade Spongebob memes back and forth with your loved ones? Do you have to rely on the ”Are You Still Watching?” message to let you know it’s time to bathe and stop procrastinating? If you answered yes to any (or all) of these questions, come hang out with us every other week! Media can play a huge role in shaping who we are. Sometimes it makes us idolize Jeff Goldblum as a sex symbol. Sometimes a lack of representation makes you feel invisible. As hosts, siblings Carie and Ross will analyze this phenomenon by breaking down a favorite movie or television show and how the sights, sounds, and messages of media have followed our generation throughout our lives. So pour your favorite beverage, relax, and explore how our shared experiences with movies and television messed us up as a generation. There will be laughter, there will be sadness, and THERE WILL BE discussions about homosexual subtext in children’s animation. Theme Song by Tune Tank: https://tunetank.com/tracks/5611-vacation

The Reaping or: How I Learned Scientific Theories About the Plagues

Monday Apr 25, 2022

This week the siblings break down a cringing oldie, The Reaping (2006), a movie about Hilary Swank and Idris Elba attempting to find scientific explanation for why Biblical plagues have descended on a small, religious Louisiana town. Of course the producers are anxious to get HIlary Swank in the tub, Ross is anxious to see Idris Elba without his shirt, and the siblings are fascinated by the scientific theories for the Exodus plagues put forth by the film.

The Man in the Iron Mask or: How I Learned About The Three Musketeers

Monday Mar 28, 2022

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL! Welcome, lil onions, to the final week of our theme on Knights and Kings! This week, the siblings cover The Man in the Iron Mask (1998), a fictionalization of 17th century France under the reign of King Louis the Sun King based on Alexander Dumas' novels surrounding the deeds of The Three Musketeers. Ross cannot abide John Malkovich's lack of accent, Carie cannot get over Leo Decaprio's hair extensions, and the siblings discuss the thematic application of a knight's service to his king.

Carie can't get over the caucacity of Lord Robert, Ross has more anglo saxon trivia than you can shake a Protestant at, and the siblings apologize for the double dose of Geoffrey Rush.

The King’s Speech or: How I Learned About Elocution

Monday Mar 14, 2022

In continuing our theme of fealty of knights in service of kings, we have a different sort of "knight" this week, Carie and Ross cover Tom Hooper's Academy Award Winning film, The King's Speech (2010). Ross divulges all the tea shared between King George VI (or "Bertie") and his elocution coach, Lionel Logue who landed his own title in chivalry under the British crown. Carie groans at the protocol of royal life, Ross gives us the cliffnotes on the David arc from the Crown, and the siblings appreciate the power of a well-timed speech in a not well time at all.

A Knight’s Tale or: How I Learned to Joust

Monday Mar 07, 2022

What has blonde hair, a stunning set of teeth, and cannot joust to save his life? THE ANSWER IS HEATH LEDGER! This week the siblings break down an old millenial favorite, the anachronistic tale of a young squire with dreams of becoming a knight of the highest order. Ross expresses his distaste for the character of Geoffrey Chaucer, Carie predictably swoons over Heath Ledger, and the siblings get warm and fuzzy over what is means to change your stars.
