Film School Slacker

RIDE IN TO THE DANGER ZONE

Might as well have been called the Splash Zone with all the sweat that happens in this 1986 classic (starring Kenny Loggins)! Join our hosts as they talk about how Maverick is a douche, Charlie is underdeveloped, and Goose and Carole are the real heroes here. 

Ya'll remember DVD promos?
Meghan and Ian crack open a bottle of Pinot Noir and learn about the charming story of the Judgement of Paris. Join us won't you?

"UGH, as IF!!" Join Ian and Meghan recount their harrowing experiences with adolescence while trying to review Clueless. 

BILLLY ZAAAANE! (and his hair piece)

Twin Cities theatre legend Janet Paone joins our hosts as they all slowly lose their sanity trying to survive James Cameron's 1997 drama-epic film, Titanic.

“We’re gonna need a bigger boat”
After a shot of Malort, join friends of the podcast Mitch and Katie as they witness Ian kick himself from not watching Jaws sooner. (Also, Quint ABSOLUTELY drew that shark on the chalkboard)

"I'm bonded, Ma'am."

Join Meghan and Ian for another Coen brothers romp through 1950's Hollywood! Topics discussed include: The Swingin' Dingy, George Clooney's top-tier prank, and Scarlett Johanssen's Natasha Lyonne impression. 

"Yeah, so if you could go ahead and come in on Saturday, that would be greaaaaat.”
Ian and Meghan are back this week with a bit of a too-close-to-home flick, Office Space! True to form, they take a massive sidetrack on Gwendolyn Christie and Hannah Waddingham but eventually do talk about the film. 

Meghan is back just in time for another flip the script! Tune in this week for gratuitous porny shots of southern England, early 2000's weed jokes, and everyone's favorite hippy drug dealer. 

Well this one was a doozy. Guest host Mike joins Ian this week for his first ever Tarantino film. Join us for Pulp Fiction, and stay for a sidetrack on Anime, fight choreography, and auteurs!

"I love you, but you have no idea what you're talking about."
On this episode, Meghan and Ian discuss youthful obsessions, Bill Murray's inability to have a healthy marriage onscreen, and a massive sidetrack on Bridge to Terabithia. 

It's Disney! It's Witchcraft! It's Nazi-punching! It's an unqualified ADHD diagnosis! Special guest Laurel joins the gang for the first ever Double Blind episode. 

Well that certainly was a movie. Thankfully, friend of the podcast Kevin was able to join the gang to go on a deep dive of the weakest but certainly not the least interesting of the original three of X-men series. 

It's X-Men! It's Psychology! It's Oppressive Governments! It's Mystique and Magneto's unrealized podcast!
Join Meghan and Ian this week for more X-Men. 

It's X-Men time! Come for a horrifying acapella rendition of the 20th Century Fox intro -- stay for Ian upending his entire superhero movie ratings, and Meghan flexing her superhero history skills!

WELL THAT WAS A LEFT TURN
On this Flip The Script episode, Ian and Meghan discuss rich people's obsession with horses, problematic actors, and Meghan's *excellent* new drag name. 

WHERE THE PODCAST AT? 
The gang has been busy as of late, but they're back this week for more Mel Brooks! Meghan professes her love of fart jokes, Ian reminisces about TCM and the Slur Counter gets a workout (1974 was a crazy time, I guess?).  

SOMEONE GET MEGHAN A DRAMAMINE.
Welcome to the first Flip the Script of 2025. Beyond the nausea, Meghan discovers the lengths people will go to avoid therapy while Ian goes on a rambling deep dive of the cutting edge tech (at the time) 

“Gopher Everett?”
The gang is happy to be joined by Mitch for this modern classic slice of Americana (and maybe workshop concepts for 3 other podcasts along the way)

BONUS CHRISTMAS EPISODE Y'ALL
Ian feels seen in Danny Kaye's character, Meghan brings fire safety back into the mix, and they both go on a deep dive about movie musicals.

See you all in the new year!
