Film School Slacker

On this heartwarming episode, Meghan is inspired to have a "gifted kid" therapy session, Ian mourns the loss of Muppetvision 3D, and they both adopt a new motto (and maybe tattoo?) to "be a Kermit". 

It's been a HOT minute since we've done a flip the script! In this week's episode Meghan pulls back out her soapbox about the patriarchy, Ian recalls being mistaken as Italian in his youth, and they both go all in on a Cheesecake Factory metaphor.

We're back! did you miss us? Don't answer that...

This week we're joined by friend of the podcast Katie as we explore one of her favorite stop motion animated films, Corpse Bride. Join the gang as they discuss stop motion boob physics, complain about the Narc of a town crier, and apparently have strong feelings about Christopher Nolan.

On this boisterous episode of Film School Slacker, Ian gets hung up on the Addam Family, Meghan outs herself as a Tumblr user in 2026, and they both get entirely derailed on pottery based innuendo. Grab your ouzo and Windex and join us, won't you?

This week, Meghan provides insight on identifying cults, Ian becomes aware of his "millenial pause" during recording, and they both can't get over how many time Ewan McGregor pretends to not know what a Jedi is in this week's movie: The Men Who Stare at Goats. Join us, won't you?

Our posting schedule made us one day late for Groundhog Day...we were too busy laughing at "Gobbler's Knob"

This week Ian wonders why he always has it out for Bill Murray's acting roles and disclosed an arrangement he had with the Tooth Fairy. Meghan revisits the 2007 Minnesota smoking ban, and Andie MacDowell's South Carolina accent.

On this week's episode, Meghan needs a "fridge cig" more than Leo needs his Blue Blanket and Ian forgets more than he remembers about high school as they explore the hilarious and sometimes shocking world of The Producers (2005).

Ian and Meghan are back this week with a charming little film starring the unlikely pairing of Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry (and so many beepers). Tune in, won't you?

Happy New Year!

After Ian's recent run in with the Jumanji franchise, the gang decided to watch the film that started it all. Join us for the excellent creature workshop effects, the not so excellent CGI, and a weird tangent to a demolished bank building in Coco Beach Florida!

Love Actually..can bite my shiny metal ass!! Thanks for sticking with us through this holiday season. We're closing out lead up to Christmas with a cultural juggernaut, Love Actually. Ian has some strong feelings about this one, so buckle up. 

Kevin McAllister brings his antics to The Big Apple in this weeks holiday episode! Meghan recounts her experience in New York at Christmastime, while Ian engages with a few of his special interests. At least they can both agree they aren't huge fans of the cameo. 

It's time for the holidays ya'll! 
Up first is an absolute classic. Join the gang as they explore Kevin MacCalister's unique brand of neurodivergence and both declaure their undying love for Catharine O'Hara. 

This week we're back with a new flip the script! Meghan finally watches one half of Barbenheimer, while Ian desperately tries not to mansplain (and fails). Feminist rants incoming!!

By Grabthar's hammer!
This week the duo takes on the seventh-best Star Trek film -- Galaxy Quest (1999). Prepare for Trek references aplenty, along with some pretty wild tangents! Also, how great is Sigourney Weaver? (And Sam Rockwell, for that matter)

Murder in Mullets.
Friend of the podcast Sabra is back to join Meghan and Ian for the final spooky episode for the season. Join us for the impeccible 1980's outfits, and stay for the crippling college debt. 

"I see cultural references!"
Meghan is Ian's guide through M. Night Shyamalan's first film, the sleeper hit The Sixth Sense (1999). Surprisingly Ian didn't know the Shyamalan-ian twist, but it didn't take him long to figure it out. Also, how cool does Philadelphia look?

The gang is joined by Minnesota's Favorite Deep Sea Horror, Tom S. Tea, who serves as a tour guide through the kinky fever dream that is The Lighthouse. Join us, won't you? And remember, the safe word is Seagull!

Ian and Meghan are kicking off Spooky Season with one of the creepiest movie villains of all time! The Silence of the Lambs (1991) gives Ian his first exposure to Jodie Foster in a movie and Meghan goes on a rant about True Crime fetishization (Ted Bundy is NOT HOT). What more could you want?
