Chrysantha’s Choice - Misery Loves Company (Full)

Episode 40

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 40:30

This is the full release of 2025’s April bonus and spoils the movie Misery (1990).

Women’s History Month #2 - The Bar is in Hell (Preview)

Episode 39

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 • Duration 21:24

This episode spoils Dorothy Arzner’s 1932 film Merrily We Go to Hell starring Frederic March and Sylvia Sidney.

We’re back to pre-Code movies as we celebrate Women's History Month this year, so of course that means the movie is going to tackle themes of infidelity; stooping down to the level of your philandering, alcoholic spouse; and recognizing when it's time to cut your losses.

Technically the full episode also spoils Alice Guy-Blache’s 1902 short La Fée aux Choux (The Cabbage Fairy) and its … interesting YouTube comment section.

This episode spoils 1941’s nominees Sergeant York, Blossoms in the Dust, Here Comes Mr. Jordan, The Little Foxes, Citizen Kane, Hold Back the Dawn, One Foot in Heaven, The Maltese Falcon, Suspicion and winner How Green Was My Valley.

This year had a little bit of everything: patriotism, biopics, scheming families, biopics, ghosts, biopics, private investigators, biopics, important discourse about religion and immigration, and biopics. Join us as we re-litigate the 14th Academy Awards and whether or not the Academy was right to snub what is now considered the best movie of all time.

This is the full release of 2025’s Women's History Month bonus and spoils the movies Suspense (1913) and The Blot (1921).

Did you know women were directing Hollywood films years before they gained the right to vote? Neither did most of us, until we were introduced to Lois Weber. Listen to this preview of our bonus episode where we take a look at two of this trailblazer's most famous films.

Black History Month #2 - Confirm My Bias, King (Preview)

Episode 36

Friday, February 27, 2026 • Duration 25:49

This episode spoils 1929's Hallelujah.

For Black History Month, we’re revisiting King Vidor’s 1929 film Hallelujah (one of the first major studio productions to feature an all-Black cast). Celebrated for groundbreaking performances and sound design, yet complicated by stereotypes and studio-era framing, Hallelujah sits at a crossroads of representation, exploitation, and opportunity. We unpack its legacy, its music, and what it meant for Black performers navigating early Hollywood.

13th Academy Awards - How to Lose a Wife in Two Hours

Episode 35

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 • Duration 02:41:59

This episode spoils 1940’s nominees The Grapes of Wrath, Our Town, All This and Heaven Too, Foreign Correspondent, The Long Voyage Home, The Great Dictator, The Letter, The Philadelphia Story, Kitty Foyle and winner Rebecca.

This year brings us some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. It’s the year in which the looming world war becomes more real and Hollywood has to start acknowledging it. Meanwhile, two movies break Jake this year, and it’s not necessarily the ones you’d expect.

Black History Month #1 - Beyond the Studio Gates (Full)

Episode 34

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 • Duration 01:05:11

This is the full release of 2025’s February bonus and spoils the movie Within Our Gates (1920).

We honored Black History Month by viewing the oldest existing feature film from a black American director; Oscar Micheaux's 1920 classic: Within Our Gates, a landmark of early Black cinema that confronts racism, violence, and hypocrisy in Jim Crow America head-on. Unfortunately, the type of narrative that we don't see in mainstream media for almost another century after its release.

Sarah's Choice - Climbing the Corporate Leader (Preview)

Episode 33

Friday, January 30, 2026 • Duration 26:49

This episode spoils the pre-code movie Baby Face (1933).

Join us as we discuss one of the movies credited with causing the enforcement of the Hays Code. A woman sleeps her way to the top, and gets away with it relatively unscathed? Can't say the same for the men she leaves in her wake or William Hays's ghost.

12th Academy Awards - Hollywood’s Greatest Year

Episode 32

Tuesday, January 20, 2026 • Duration 02:37:11

This episode spoils 1939’s nominees Dark Victory, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Love Affair, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Ninotchka, Of Mice and Men, Stagecoach, The Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights, and winner Gone With the Wind.

Widely regarded as the strongest year for movies in Academy history, the lingering effects of the nominees and winners can still be felt to this day— for good and for bad. It’s the year of toxic romance, ugly hats, questionable medical ethics, and maybe the best teacher we’ve ever seen. Several of these movies were absolutely foundational for their genres, and had they come out in any other year they may have even stood a chance at taking home the grand prize.

Sarah's Choice - View 'M' For Murder (Full)

Episode 31

Tuesday, January 6, 2026 • Duration 57:30

This is the full release of 2025’s January bonus and spoils the movie M (1931). The otherwise cinematically dismal year (1931) is salvaged by the 11th hour intervention of a groundbreaking German thriller: M. Listen to us discuss the morality of capital punishment and the potential origins of true crime in film.
