Ep. 323 - The Nun (Doubt vs. The Little Hours)


As we head into 2019 we have one New Year's Resolution to make... and that is never trust a nun. To do so Josh Dotson of SOBER CINEMA joins the podcast for the newest entry in THE CONJURING cinematic universe: THE NUN. This inspires a double feature of nuns gone wild with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams in DOUBT and Aubrey Plaza and Alison Brie in THE LITTLE HOURS. One is very suspicious of sexual activity within the church, while the other is ALSO very suspicious of sex acts... but also an active participant. Based on these show notes it seems obvious which film we would choose, but that's why you have to listen to the show at these links below:

Ep. 322 - Boy Erased (Beginners vs. Pariah)


New release BOY ERASED inspires a conversation on coming out in cinema, but more importantly how to record podcasts with pets. This very sensitive subject is handled with grace as your host Mike tells guest Dave Giannini of THE GRAND GESTURE that he'll just include his cat in the episode. Much like the beloved WAR MACHINE vs. WAR HORSE mascot, Brody Boy. I suppose at this point in the show notes I should stop talking about pets and mention that the two older films are great. Mike Mills' BEGINNERS and Dee Rees' PARIAH make this show worth doing (along with the sex and drugs) as they take two decidedly different looks at age groups coming out to their families. And then your host ruins it by mentioning Vince Vaughn's wack-off scene in the remake of PSYCHO as a "gentle push." Enjoy!
