A rom-com is going to rom-com, but YOU, ME, & TUSCANY is actually doing at least one thing that feels pretty unique. We talk about this new movie from Kat Coiro and producer Will Packer (starring Halle Bailey & Regé-Jean Page) with All the Feels podc... more
What’s the drama behind director Kristoffer Borgli’s new film, THE DRAMA? And, unlike Mary J. Blige, do we want said drama? We unpack all that with film critic Ariel LeBeau, and then talk about some movies that were secretly darker than advertised.

Liberal echo chamber.
Through every iteration I’ve loved and enjoyed this podcast.
I’m devastated to learn that Alonso Duralde hates Life of Chuck, but his incredibly wrong opinion on this subjective medium has inspired me to at last leave my first review of any podcast- 5 stars, top notch, they can do no wrong in my eyes, even when hating a movie I loved.
If this review contradicts itself very well, then it contradicts itself. Like the rotating lineup of talented folks on this podcast over the years, and Chuck’s... more
probably my longest listened podcast. was here with ricky. now with ify. and soon with our new host. each theme becomes a series of stim for me. makes me try to watch new films and shorts. the chemistry of the cast, isn't disrupted by guests either
I was excited to listen to the Heretic ep with Ross. But they BARELY talked about the film. They could have really leaned into Ross’s knowledge of religion. There is so much to unpack in this film… 100% disappointed. First and last episode I will ever listen to of this pod. I absolutely hate when pods dont talk about the topic they advertise.
What keeps me coming back to this podcast? Is it Ify’s taste in movies and horniness on main? Is it Alonso’s dedication to Holiday Hallmark movies? Is it Midwest princess Drea’s Minnesotan accent peeping out? Yes! Yes to all! Plus they are insightful and fun and funny people. Love their dynamic. And love that they cover movies that aren’t always the most mainstream. Way to go y’all! Also Ify, I’m loving your part in Never Stop Blowing Up on Drop out. Incredible.
