·75· Some Kind of Wonderful

I think it’s hip that you paint. I think it’s hip that I drum. And it’s perfect that we’re friends.” – Watts

Listeners, we think it’s hip that you listen. We think it’s hip that we FINALLY released this episode. And it’s perfect that we all LOVE Some Kind of Wonderful.

After years of friendship, we finally courted Amy Pascal. We didn’t paint her portrait, or take her to the Hollywood Bowl, or spend our college savings on her, but we did ask her to reschedule with us at least a half dozen times so you know her love is true. Amy Pascal is our kind of WONDERFUL and we learn more about this film talking to her than we’ve learned in any of our gazillionty viewings.

Find more from Amy Pascal at http://theamypascale.com and on Twitter & Facebook.

Just in time for the end of Daylight Saving Time, we bring you our last spoopy Halloween chick flick offering — Hocus Pocus, a.k.a. Vanessa Hudgens’s Rocky Horror Picture Show.

·73· Death Becomes Her

We’re Mad-Ern-Hel, and we’re not going to take [not having covered Death Becomes Her] anymore!

Yes, the queens of youth and beauty you know and tolerate are finally tackling the queens of youth and beauty you know and love, and we (re)watched 1992’s Death Becomes Her, in which Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn seriously put at least one of the Fs in “BFF.”

A couple of corrections:
– Zelda from Pet Sematary has spinal meningitis, not scoliosis.
– We talk briefly about “Kevin Williams” style dialog. We are actually referring to Kevin Williamson, creator of Dawson’s Creek and writer of Scream.

We don’t have a guest this time, but we give massive shout-outs to our sweethearts Ryan and Ariel, who got married last week. If you click all of these links, you’ll find all of Ryan’s many shows:

·72· Ocean’s 8

We’ve assembled the team, we’ve got the know-how, we’ve rented the disc from Redbox, and we’re ready to blow this thing wide open.

Fearless leader of the Flying Machine network and Ocean’s [Numeral] fanboy Malcolm Nygard is back to talk with us about the 2018 female-fronted heist movie and whether or not (Danny Ocean’s) sisters are really doin’ it for themselves. And by “doin’,” I mean stealing, and by “it,” I mean tens of millions of dollars’ worth of jewels.

You can hear more from Malcolm on the Flying Machine Content Channel.
