Fun Dip and Cherry Coke
Join host Kira Gowan and a guest as they remember and revisit pop culture from the past.
Episodes
Woah. You guys. This episode is extra super special. I am joined by a teen. While our cultural references may differ, we both discovered the movie Clueless around the same age (though I'm pretty sure Nakalia never had it on VHS, like I did.)
PLUS, get the scoop on the latest in fashion. Seriously, there's a lot of fashion talk in this one and it's super interesting.
Enjoy!
Austin Powers is a great movie if you're an 11 year old boy. What's it like to watch as an adult? How has this movie aged? Are we going to be able to sit through the whole thing? Listen and find out, why don't you?
It's time again for cat and dog chat with Katie and Kira! And I guess we also talk about a movie that we both used to watch a lot.
9 Reasony why Adults Should Never Watch The NeverEnding Story Acorns and Oaks
Sorry for the skipped weeks, friends. Sometimes there's just too much life stuff going on. But, I'm back with a bang, and by bang I mean extra fun long episode with my very thoughtful and entertaining friend Andy, who knows and loves this movie so well that he could recite it all from memory.
Join us as we get into the goofs and gags of this bonkers movie. Do you think a movie made in the 90's that centers around a fat camp is go...
It was really nice to talk to Nick about a very fun and educational math TV show that's definitely not as nerdy as he made it sound.
Katie introduces me to Little Monsters, a fever dream of a movie with a very disconcerting main character.
Join me and Cameron as we watch the movie version of a 1990's screensaver!
This episode is proooobbbbabbbly going to be more fun if you're pretty familiar with the movie. Molly and I tried out something folks have been suggesting I do for a long time, which is to record while we're watching the movie. You won't be able to watch along with us, because I cut down the two hour movie to a one-ish hour collection of all of the fun parts.
I hope you enjoy the episode as much as Molly and I enjoyed watching Fa...
What better time to discuss a movie that has dubious ideas about sexuality and consent than in #MeToo focused 2018? This episode gets real real. Also, you're going to hear a lot of disgusted sighs from me. I just want you to know that I edited probably more than half of them out.
Are you ready for another episode with a lot of singing? Good, because this is one. And it's not just songs from Newsies. This episode is a doozie (a newsiedoozie?) for folks who like musicals. I think we reference probably 10 non-Newsies musicals, at least. Drew is a bonafide Newsies expert, and no slouch on American history either, and I'm glad she agreed to record this episode with me, even though it was very late at night and y...
Josh Hollis (Predict-O-Cast, Butterfly Kisses ), joins me to discuss a lesser-known classic in the Rankin/Bass Christmas Collection, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. This movie is a lot of fun, probably in large part because it's kind of short, just like these episode notes!

Join me and Sydney as we discuss the Phantom of the Opera, how it shaped us, which characters we did and do relate to, and how capes really should make a comeback.

This week, Jennie joins me to watch the beautiful bummer of a movie, The Virgin Suicides. We get very confused about how similar all the teen movies were around this time, so sorry in advance for all the yelling at your radio that you're about to do. Also, if you ever wanted to know how many people I had smooched by the time I was like, 13, this episode is for you! Note: This episode has some random spoilers for Ingrid Goes West an...
Hi everyone. This is my Halloween episode. It's a big one, because it has three beloved guests. But, that also means it gets a little raucous and sounds a little rough at times. Fair warning. Join Scott, Katie, Aaron, and I as we get into one of Katie's Halloween favorites, Hocus Pocus. Somehow none of the rest of us had ever seen this movie. This episode also brings you a fun Kira and Scott Baseball Minute (tm, tm, tm). It's very ...
I'm back again this week with another classic! Join me and Scott, neither of us comedy experts, as we discuss what is and isn't funny about this movie, what kinds of comedy hold up in different times, and what appeals to us at different ages. I hope we don't sound like we know what we're talking about, because we don't really. We also get into other comedy podcasts we love, soooooo, you're welcome for that, I guess? Oh, and Scott p...
Soooo, it turns out that this animated film that we all watched as little kids deals with some heavy stuff. Our conversation about it turns to Kafka, Roxane Gay, the nature of love and regret, and also, you know, singing butterflies. Enjoy!

If you're looking for a podcast where two women gush about Jeff Goldblum, this is the episode for you! But really, though, he's basically at his prime in this movie and it's hard not to talk about it. As it turns out, when I watch a movie that takes place in the Valley, I record an episode where I say "like" a lot. Oh well.

Paradise Hotel aired around 15 years ago, and boy oh boy is it dated. Graham, Charlotte and I unpack all of the gross gender stereotypes, awful manipulations, scheming cheaters, and unwanted sexual advances in this trashy reality dating show where the tans are dark and the highlights are.... just very very bad. We'll be back with more episodes about this show soon!
We're back at it again. This week, Katie tells me a little more about what it's like to grow up in a small town with a very limited video collection that included, for some reason, the movie Tremors. I discover that I'm actually fewer degrees of separation than I thought I was, and we debate how many phones small towns should reasonably be expected to have. Tweet us all your favorite movies featuring worm monsters!
