52: Muriel's Wedding

Is it possible that Julia takes some parts of this movie a little too seriously? Yes. Is that always a possibility? Yes. But let’s get festive and royal. (NB: It gets a little deep and sometimes dark.) Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

Everyone dreams of going back to high school, right?!? (This is one of those where we sometimes lose the ability to use words and just make emotive sounds.) Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

In this episode, Julia completely unironically uses the words “inane brilliance”. Also, there’s some deja vu. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

(Queen Latifah, not Alec Guinness.) Yet another movie with incredible food footage! Also fabulous clothing, fascinating side characters, and LL Cool J as not LL Cool J. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

More ABBA! We think of alternate titles and alternate dads, and try to refrain from singing along. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

We do get a tiny bit sidetracked by things like the plural noun for nuns and whether or not they can own motorbikes - but mostly we and our special guest talk about high and low stakes, musical numbers, and saving the ice rink. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

This movie has Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah, and montages - and it’s one heck of a roller coaster. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

Orange is the new pink and it’s time to get Y2K to the max. Time for a star-studded movie with a great soundtrack. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

Musical May! And it’s ABBA time with this many-faceted Australian bouquet. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.

For our pod-birthday, AJ watches this cult classic for the first time and hopes that people will stop yelling at him about it. Among the things that got cut for time: The history of snake oil, medieval superstitions about supernumerary fingers, and actual R.O.U.S-es. Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox.
