  • Thank you…

    …for doing this. It’s just such a joy to listen to you two talk about movies. Why? Because I’ve found someone who’s seen more than me, and because you are informed, well read, with - I’m guessing here - a strong cultural theory background. Most importantly, you just dig movies, which means I dig you too.

  • Astaire and Rogers

    Love that this duo is being covered. Look, it was the 1930s; do you want to chastise something that happened 90 years ago? Astaire never meant to insult Robinson. Are you both ok with Shirley Temple dancing with Robinson, or is she just a child racist? So ridiculous.

    Elise just tears apart these films unless they follow her narrative.

    Now I see an older episode where you refer to Tyrone Power as nominal.

    Go back to calling everything and everyone racist.

  • Adventures through meaning and time!

    Witty and engaging as David and Elise are, they’re not shy about getting into it on any given topic.

    Whether they’re exploring the personae of undervalued actors or trying to work out what could possibly constitute a satisfying ending to a long-running serial narrative, it’s this seriousness of purpose and deep literary knowledge that really sets this duo apart.
