We promised, and we delivered. New Year, New Season, New us! We are officially Disney Deviants and for our first episode we watched Under Wraps, the 1st ever DCOM!This movie (not film) gave us horror, comedy, action, romance, a true quadruple threat! We came here for garbage, and Disney said NOT TODAY! And for that we are eternally grateful.Join us as we talk through the delightfully fun, and somewhat Grown, Under Wraps!

It's the end of a season and an era. In our final episode of 2020 we discuss Holidate the Emma Robert's vehicle written by Tiffany Paulsen and directed by John Whitesell!

It's our final Christmas Edition movie, and what an infuriating note to end on! So many questions, so little time. Like who invented the term Holidate, Netflix or Twitter? Was Paulsen getting paid per time anyone said holidate?why does this movie feel longer than The Goldfinch? And how could Tiffany slip so low after 2007 classic Nancy Drew?

We're not sure we have all the answers, but we sure as hell will try to work towards in our final episode of our Textual Deviants season. Hop on for this raunchy Christmas (and every other holiday) ride as we discuss Holidate!

In our penultimate Christmas Edition episode we bring in New Light Theatre's Elsa Kegelman (https://www.elsakegelman.com, instagram & Twitter: @kegelwoman)
to help us tackle the crazy mess that is Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square!

We will not blaspheme the name of our love & Queen Dolly Parton, but we just may roast her movie! (I mean, how many plots do we need?) Thank goodness she cast her only begotten daughter, Christine Baranski, to save us all from this Christmas hell!

Join us we try to remember one song from Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square!

*While the dates for Elsa's show have passed, streaming is still available here and please donate to NLT or the Delaware Food Bank or a food bank near you if you have the means to this holiday season. 

Merry Christmas!!!

This episode may shake you to your core. We know we were! Find out why as we discuss The Princess Switch: Switched Again by Mike Rohl!

🎶It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!🎶

In our hearts anyway...(#GlobalWarming) and on our tv screens! 

This week we kick off Textual Deviants: Christmas Edition by  watching Happiest Season by Clea DuVall, Hulu's newest, barrier breaking, Queer Christmas movie starring Kristin Stewart, MacKenzie Davis, Dan Levy, & Alison Brie!

There was so much to love (Jane/Riley😍) And so much to hate (Harper/Sloan🤬) in this movie that Clea DuVall originally intended for theatrical release (#FuckCovid), and we discuss it all.

Join us as we start a deviant chapter of the Aubrey Plaza fan club in this weeks episode, Happiest Seasom by Clea DuVall!

Welcome back to another episode of Textual Deviants: Moving Edition

This week we watched The Goldfinch directed by John Crowley (director of the best romantic film Brooklyn!) and said an East Coast goodbye to Taiwo as she moves to Cali! 

Adaeze bets her firstborn child that this was a Lean Cusine version of The Goldfinch. What else are we willing to bet her (non-existent) first born child on?

1. Auntie Donna (Tartt) doing THAT!
 
2. Finn Wolfhard's accent ain't IT.

3. HBO will attempt a miniseries of this in 3-5 years 

4. You are going to LOVE this episode!

Join us as we work our way through all 2.5 HOURS of The Goldfinch  directed by John Crowley!
