CUMMING OF AGE CLASSICS PART 1: Cruel Intentions, Titanic, The Notebook

Torie and Maggie take a nostalgic trip back to the movies that not only made us (cum) but also shaped the hormones of an entire generation. 
Brace yourself for some awkward adolescent anecdotes, friends. The cringe-factor of this episode gives PEN15 a run for its money.
Torie shares some borderline illegal memories about her pre-teen attempts to reenact  one scene in particular from TITANIC (1997). Maggie re-experiences all the feels from Allie and Noah's oh-so-real romantic dynamic in THE NOTEBOOK (2004). Maggie recounts her bisexual awakening and Torie once again risks alienating our listeners with CRUEL INTENTIONS (1999).  
 
 

SPECIAL EPISODE: Lifetime's™ A Cowboy Christmas Romance

We're taking a detour to the BOOB TUBE for this very special episode!
Lifetime™ made history last month with a first-ever SEX SCENE in one of their crap holiday films. In honor of this milestone, we indulged the sugar and spice with A COWBOY CHRISTMAS ROMANCE .
Special guest Cecilia Conti joins to rip apart this trash fire of a film that's complete with all those Lifetime™ tropes you know and love plus some solid PG-rated content.
Get ready to giddy up and take a roll in Fifty Shades of Hay. 

SEXY SNACKS: Tampopo, 9 1/2 Weeks, La Grande Bouffe

Trigger warning: bodily functions and hedonism ahead!
Torie and Maggie revisit monochrome color palettes and smirking toxic seduction with 9 1/2 WEEKS (1986). Both ladies are left traumatized following their first watch of LA GRANDE BOUFFE (1973) and then rescued by the effervescently sexy and incomparably charming, TAMPOPO (1986). 

BLOODSUCKING SAPPHIC SEDUCTION PART 2: The Vampire Lovers, Fascination, The Hunger

Some things are too good to keep tight so we pulled a Scorsese. Come sink your teeth into this supersized second installment of our Lesbian Vampire series.
Titties get top billing and Torie meets her redhead arch nemesis in THE VAMPIRE LOVERS (1970). Male-female gender politics get fascinating treatment in the French gem FASCINATION (1979). The (un)holy trinity of hotness - David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon - deliver a (sac)religious viewing experience in THE HUNGER (1983).

BLOODSUCKING SAPPHIC SEDUCTION PART 1: Vampyros Lesbos, Vampyres, Daughters of Darkness

Lesbian Vampires embody many things - beauty, ruthlessness, man-hating and the lustful intensity of a thousand Scorpios. They also have killer wardrobes (pun intended). 
Torie and Maggie take their first bite into gratuitous sexploitation marred by a male victim's confusingly cringeworthy kissing in VAMPYRES (1974). They witness the most concentrated representation of Power Scorpio energy in cinema history with VAMPYROS LESBOS (1971) and low-key fetishes for true crime in DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971).

FULL FRONTAL FAVORITES PART 2: American Gigolo, Shame, Velvet Goldmine

Torie and Maggie take another deep dive into the wide world of D on film (aka full frontal male nudity).
Maggie gets triggered by memories of her mom's TMI obsession with Richard Gere in AMERICAN GIGOLO (1980). Torie is rendered speechless by Michael Fassbender's well-endowed biology in SHAME (2011). Both ladies revisit and revel in the glitter-infused, glam rock fever dream VELVET GOLDMINE (1998) starring Ewan McGregor's you know what...

RELIGIOUS AND RAUNCHY: The Last Temptation of Christ, The Crime of Father Amaro, The Name of the Rose

Heresy alert! Please be advised this episode contains some serious sacrilege.
Maggie drools over Gael Garcia Bernal in THE CRIME OF PADRE AMARO (2002). Torie gets a little/way too excited about THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST (1988). Maggie gags on her sandwich during THE NAME OF THE ROSE (1986), whereas Torie finds an unexpected new crush. 

HOT(ISH) HORROR PART 1: Re-Animator, The Evil Dead, Bram Stoker's Dracula

Torie and Maggie explore the dark corners of paraphilia within the horror film genre. We encounter MedFet and necrophilia - not to mention some notable foreplay - in RE-ANIMATOR (1985), extreme "tree hugging" in THE EVIL DEAD (1981), and blood play seduction from the OG undead lothario in BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992).

FULL FRONTAL FAVORITES PART 1: The Brown Bunny, The Dreamers, Boogie Nights

Torie and Maggie dive into cinematic rarity of films bold enough to tackle the taboo of full frontal male nudity. Torie has difficulty separating the art from the artist with Vincent Gallo's THE BROWN BUNNY (2003) whereas Maggie mines empathy for toxic masculinity. We celebrate the wonder of prosthetics in Paul Thomas Anderson's BOOGIE NIGHTS (1997), talk twincest (and the double D showcase) in Bernardo Bertolucci's THE DREAMERS (2003), and tackle the ever-burning question - does size really matter?
