  • 43. The Birdcage
    Sep 10 2023

    Lizy is a true parrothead. Joseph is too chicken for clubs. A little birdy told me you like comedy, sincerity, and fun gender shenanigans. If that's true, you should join us as we discuss Robin Williams and Nathan Lane's The Birdcage!

  • 39. Boat Trip
    Feb 17 2023

    Lizy introduces a new segment. Joseph takes one-million Macklemores. Sometimes, you need to take a step back and appreciate how bad films can be. After all, if every movie were Spider-Verse, we wouldn't have The Room. Join us on a trip as we put on our bifocals to discuss the "romantic" "comedy," Boat Trip.
