Dear Mom and Dad, Camp sucks. This place is full of bats, and mice, and/or rats (still unclear), and I can’t even smoke because the fire warning is up. Yesterday, three old women tried to cook and eat me, and I got chased by some weird man dressed up like a tree. And then on the way back to my tent, I almost got run over by a ghost car. Worst of al…

We’re back in Chicago this week for our review of The Bear, season 3, episodes 1 through 5.

Dawson gazes into the distance and all he sees is his own, endless virginity.

In what can only be described as an outright act of nepotism, Jodie and Andrea are joined this week by comedian, actor, writer, podcaster, etcetera-er, and–some might say–mother of this very podcast, Chris Gethard, who stops by to help us wrap up our Yellowjackets rewatch. As someone who binged seasons 1 and 2 over the course of just a couple weeks…

You're listening to The Watchers, a show where sometimes one of your podcast hosts can't edit the podcast because she got too busy making podcasts for people who pay her money to do so.

Two queer women from Jersey, hosting a podcast where we watch movies and tv that are often–though not always–about New Jersey. It’s a bit surprising it’s taken us this long, but this week, Jodie and Andrea watched Chasing Amy, the third installment of Kevin Smith’s so-called Jersey Trilogy. We spend a lot of time working through some of the element…

This week, Jodie picked Jim Jarmusch's Paterson, a movie about a man, and a city, and a poem that share its name.

This week, we watched Top Secret!, a favorite movie of both Jodie's dad and the great Weird Al Yankovic. It features Val Kilmer in his debut role as a rock and roll singer who becomes involved in a secret plot to rescue a scientist imprisoned in East Germany, and it makes absolutely zero sense, but that's kind of besides the point because the plot …
