Dragons, Princesses and Creeps

For the final podcast of 2025, T & Lo each picked their three favorite movies and three favorite TV shows and tell you why you should catch them as soon as you can.

T Lo pay tribute to Rob Reiner and give an update on their holiday and publishing plans before launching into extensive discussions on "Jay Kelly" and "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery."

T Lo talk about HBO's "Heated Rivalry" and why such stories tend not to appeal to them as gay men before launching into a deep recap of "With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration" and how it reveals both her strengths and her limitations as a TV show hostess, with some suggestions as to how she can improve her brand.

Just as it says on the tin, T Lo flipped on their mics and offered a non-spoiler review of "Train Dreams," starring Joel Edgerton, Felicity Jones and Kerry Condon, and a totally spoiler-filled review of "Wicked: For Good."

T Lo discuss Meghan Markle's Harper's Bazaar interview and the various feverish responses to it, unpack how the publicity tour for "Wicked: For Good" has gotten increasingly bizarre and dramatic, and review Jennifer Lopez's "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and all the ways it failed its star.

T Lo give you all the details on their Paris trip and some of the details on an upcoming project before launching into reviews of "All's Fair," "Death by Lightning," "Pluribus" and "Frankenstein."

Tom and Lorenzo flipped on their mics and reviewed three slightly problematic films that dropped on streaming this week: "A House of Dynamite," "Hedda," and "Ballad of a Small Player," debating the high and low points of each film and coming to different conclusions on all of them. 

T Lo unpack some recent social media controversies about Sabrina Carpenter and Kristen Bell before launching into discussion of the Bad Bunny Super Bowl controversy and Keira Knightley's disappointing support for J.K. Rowling. Plus: a review of "The Woman in Cabin 10."

T Lo take a look at all of the drama and rhetoric surrounding the release of Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" and how it speaks of a problem for all artists who reach an unprecedented level of success: Can billionaires even create art?

T Lo celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the release of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and unpack why it was so important to two generations of queer people and why it still resonates today.  Plus: Checking back in on the Jimmy Kimmel situation and a gushing review of "House of Guinness."
