    Capote with Fran Hoepfner

    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined for the fifth (!!!!) time by the wonderful Fran Hoepfner (Vulture) for Bennett Miller's impressive 2005 debut. We talk the Hoffman Oscar (deserved), the oh-so-twisted world of true crime and Capote's place in it, and balancing the eerie and the sensationalist. And social media algorithms. And Charlie Kaufman. And "Is This Thing On." And ABC's Lost.

    Morocco with Morgan M Page

    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer, historian, and filmmaker Morgan M Page for this iconic Josef von Sternberg flick from 1930, which introduced bisexual icon Marlene Dietrich to Hollywood audiences. We discuss the infamous "sewing circle" of sapphic starlets popularized by Dietrich, a multitude of affairs, one era-defining on-screen lesbian kiss, lethal top energy, running into the desert for love, and, of course, Jojo Siwa.

In advance of the Oscars, Jordan and Brooke award the coveted "Rainbow Prism" to their favorite performances/movies of the 2025 cinematic year, along with a healthy dose of subjective criticism, Brooke slacking on viewing stats, and Jordan's "chaos picks" for new awards.

    Hamilton with Alison Sivitz

    Lib out with us and Alison Sivitz (the ever iconic Bald Ann Dowd) as we discuss Obama-era hopecore, being obsessed with your generational hater, actual historic love letters between Hamilton and his pal Laurens, and if we were too mean online to Lin-Manual Miranda. Also, Brooke scars everyone with her knowledge of the Hamilton fandom.

    This Means War with Emma Stefansky

    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer Emma Stefansky for a treatise on all love triangles. Why doesn't everybody throuple? What is a throuple, thematically? Can 2012 Tom Hardy call us, please?? Plus, the film's 15+ years in development, exactly what kind of spies we're meant to be seeing here, violations of privacy justified by the Patriot Act, and McG's auteur streak.

    Wicked: For Good

    Well! We all know Act 2 of Wicked is a tough one! But at least we have EVEN MORE DOOMED yuri. Return to Oz as we discuss new original songs, lack of choreography, lack of sheer horniness, and lack of practical effects. But there is no lack of longing looks and rainbow-tinged wedding allegories. Gelphie forever!
