We discuss all the things you aren't supposed to, like religion, periods, boy/girl parties and the pain of existing at 12 years old. Also: Is Seth a "Blume Boy"? Is this an adaptation worthy of it's source material? What does Michelle call the "bagel holiday"? What kid stole the show for us? Check it out!

  • Plan 9 from Outer Space
    Mar 16 2026

    Greetings, friends. We are all interested in podcasts, for that is where you and I will spend the rest of our lives. Join us today as we discuss Edward D. Wood Jr's often maligned (but still beloved) Plan 9 from Outer Space! We discuss Criswell, Vampira, why the plot isn't as hard to follow as people claim, it's place in atomic age anxiety filmmaking, getting over low budget filmmaking and yes, Kelton the cop. Also: Michelle finds a new muse! Seth brings up geometry! Bela Lugosi! Check it out!
