She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self.

Remakes and reboots have become a tired way of extending the life of a film franchise. Before every year seemed to be nothing but rehashes of the same, uninspired concepts, let's examine older remakes that were closer to a fresher, reinvigorating proposition; Invasion of the Body Snatchers from 1956 and its first remake from 1978. (Part 1 of 2.) Guest: Andrew.…
Spotlighting Ingrid Bergman, the Swedish-American star of the black and white era. What made her so great? What were actresses all about in the Golden Age of Hollywood? Notorious . The Bells of St. Mary's . Intermezzo --the 1939 American remake where Bergman reprised her role from the original--she was so valuable! Let's see how romances were different back then, and how charmingly strong women like Bergman could be. Guest: Jon.…
The '90s were a hodge-podge of genres we don't see much of anymore, including stop motion kids' movies. Tim Burton and Henry Selick collaborated on two such films— The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach —we'll take a look at what made them special. Guests: Sarah & Stacey.
Star Trek has plenty of non-humans that put a mirror up for us to examine ourselves, and one of the most notable of them is Lieutenant Commander Data. Let's watch episodes from the third and fourth seasons of The Next Generation to see what makes him a top tier crewman, what actor Brent Spiner brought, and if Data could sustain “A” stories or if he was best used in a supporting role. Guest: Jon.…
What subgenre of films can leverage a single set as well as legal dramas do courtrooms? Presumed Innocent (1990), 12 Angry Men (1957), My Cousin Vinny : The lawyers are warriors on the battlefield that is the law, the judge banging their gavel like an instrument of God. Sometimes the prosecution are the good guys, sometimes it's the defendant, but the stakes are always high. Guests: Andrew & Pat.…
Epic films, also known as long f**king movies! But when they're done well, you'll see three hours flew right by in A Bridge Too Far and The English Patient . Considering the modern age is rife with films over two hours long that have no business being so, let's look back on a few that felt like they used that extra runtime well. Guest: Jon.…
Teary episodes of television! Do you want to feel sad watching a show? Need to get some emotions out? Well perhaps the following melodrama will do: Little House on the Prairie , Homicide: Life on the Street , and Lost . The Host exposes the guests to episodes from these different programs, and we'll see what—if any—emotional response was elicited. Guests: Max & Jon.…
Ever been leery of watching a drama because you were worried it was going to have a totally depressing ending? It's nice to achieve those highs and lows, but ultimately, end on a positive note. Lars and the Real Girl . Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot . Actually, don't worry—these movies won't leave you wanting to cut yourself. Hooray! Guest: Andrew.…
Captain Kirk is an iconic part of the Star Trek franchise. Let's check out some episodes from the first season of the 1966 season and look at what makes him cool, what Shatner brought to the role, and whether or not people's perception of Kirk matches how he was actually portrayed in the original series. Guest: Jon.…
Every decade has its particular flavor of longstanding genres. What counted for vampire movies in the '30s would evolve and adapt as successive generations put their spin on it; sit back with us and get into Fright Night and The Lost Boys . What were vampires in the '80s? Sexy, cool, and chock full of MTV pizzazz! Guest: Sarah.…
High school drama is exacerbated by the anxiety of youth and coming into one's own. Stories about being an outcast or winning a popularity contest—trivial in the grand scheme of life—are matters of life and death when seen through the eyes of a student. Heathers , The Chocolate War , and Election highlight the drama and absurdity of high school life. Guest: Jon.…
Comparing the many film versions of the Tom Clancy borne protagonist Jack Ryan: The Hunt for Red October , Patriot Games , The Sum of All Fears , Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit . Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine have all portrayed the CIA analyst on the big screen. Who's the best? Who's the worst? Let's conduct our own analysis and get to the bottom of it! Guests: Andrew & Pat.…
A spotlight on Michael Keaton. He's known as Tim Burton's Caped Crusader and Beetlejuice, but how about his more character driven roles? From Clean and Sober to Birdman to The Founder , let's look at roles that show he's a lot more than a guy who's worn the bat cowl. Guest: Jon.
In this bonus episode, we discuss Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man (1976). Originally recorded for '70s New York Sleaze , it ultimately did not fit that episode's theme, so it went into the vault until now. Enjoy! Guest: Andrew.
To mark the end of Christopher Eccleston's run as the Ninth Doctor, we'll check out the Fifth Doctor's finale as well. What was different about that regeneration? And how good was the Ninth Doctor's tenure looking back decades later? Co-host: Jon.
