Angela and Frederick look back at a few movies from the true legend of cool Val Kilmer. RIP Huckleberry.

Brighton Beach accents represent! Angela and Frederick watch a young (powerhouse) exotic dancer try to precariously juggle the possibility of getting that oligarchy money in Sean Baker's 2024 comedy-drama, Anora. You might need an IV-recovery drip after this one.

Following some of the most colorful and fiercest women on the block, we explode across East Hollywood and grab a donut in Sean Baker's 2015 intersectional sex-working comedy-revenge tale, Tangerine. Think twice about cheating with real fish.

This week, for St. Patrick's Day (we record in the past), we explore one of Angela's childhood favorites, Mike Newell's 1992 ULTIMATE horse movie, Into the West. I mean Ireland's entire army goes after this horse. How is it not the greatest horse movie of all time?
