3 Cissies & A Girl

What’s better than a mobster classic told by three generations of great comedians? Trying to follow this piecemeal ADD train of random quotes as we chug our way over to New York (aka Los Angeles) for Eddie Murphy’s action-comedy cult classic, “Harlem Nights” (1989), of course. In this critically panned, fan-adored, Gen X fever dream, Richard Pryor plays club owner and “numbers” boss “Sugar Ray” (yes, seriously) who is contending wi...

It's time to saddle up and schlep out west.  Although, with some of the modern choices in this noodle kugel-western you could probably strap on your seat belts.  This week we're rolling our 3CG wagon train out to the wild west with Mel Brooks' 1974 classic, "Blazing Saddles". This movie has a lot to say about racism, sexism, and fill-in-the-blank-ism, in a way that is sure to make you laugh, cringe, maybe even re-evaluate some of y...

TW: There are heavy and pointed discussions of suicide and ideation.  For those of you struggling with those thoughts, we suggest skipping this, or parts of this episode.  If you or someone you know needs help, please dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline to speak with someone.  Help is available. You’re never alone.  There’s no need to walk in the dark.

Well, 3CG-ers, this is episode is one for the record books. Sticking around in the 80s which means you probably already guessed this is another of Garrett's picks. We were in a time crunch recording this one so we kept the ADD train on the tracks for what is probably our speediest episode to date. 

In his directorial debut, Chris Columbus is at the helm of this Elizabeth Shue lead comed...

Gather 'round, 3CG fans, for a journey back in time! This week, the gang tackles the sci-fi classic, "The Andromeda Strain", and boy, is it a doozy! From its ethical quandaries to its thought-provoking themes, this film has something for everyone. So sit back, grab a snack, and get ready to delve into the world of science, fiction, and all the juicy details in between!

The film, based on a novel by Michael Crichton, follows a team ...

Giddy up, 3CG fans! This week, the gang is taking on a classic western with the 1966 John Wayne film, "El Dorado". From shootouts to horseback rides, this movie has all the elements of a classic cowboy flick. So grab your cowboy hat and get ready for a rootin'-tootin' good time!

In this dusty old western, John Wayne stars as a gunslinger who teams up with his old friend (Robert Mitchum) to help a man reclaim his stolen land. If you...

So technically nobody picked this episode, although Hannah compiled this list so we are going to give her credit, or is that blame? I guess it depends on which 3CG-er you side with. Even though much to Garrett’s dismay, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation didn’t make the cut this month, we manage to lampoon this “National Treasure” or at least some of us do.

Add another Michael Curtiz flick to the pod, the first being Casablanca,...

Well, 3CG-ers, that foray into watching films in color was short-lived.  We’re going back to black (and white) with a 1941 classic, and we’ll give you one guess as to who picked this one.  Our old-soul-black-and-white-morality-raised-on-the-classics millennial, Hannah, picked our second movie for November and what is arguably one of the greatest films ever made, “Citizen Kane”.

Orson We...

Yes, we know, technically spooky season is over (except in our hearts, where it’s all year long), but this is Matt's first pick to make it into the show, so we cut him some slack.  

Clearly falling for the master director John Carpenter’s style in "They Live," Matt takes us back to 1978 and to arguably the birth of the modern-day slasher film with his SpOoOkY revenge pick, "Halloween".

While we would like this episode to be like Meg Foster’s piercing blue eyes and cut straight to the point, it’s more like that 6-minute fight scene between ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper and America’s favorite President, Keith David.   We may only discuss the actual movie “They Live” (1988) for about 6 minutes of this 90+ minute podcast, but like the film, the tangents we stray off onto are a teaser for what’s to c...

What happens when Garret doesn’t watch the time and the ADD train leaves the track and any semblance of structure behind? You get a tangentially related take on the 1932 Horror classic, Freaks, that’s longer than the movie itself.

Since MGM freaked out, pun intended, over Browning’s original 90-minute cut, the final available film is a short but n...

Well, we’re hopping back in time, or rather warping, with The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Another cult classic delight from the same glorious mind that brought you, Priscilla, Terry J. Nelson.  

The krewe discusses the myriad pitfalls of gender and sexuality, Matthew tries to keep up his good Catholic boy facade, Terry fusses over Jasper, Hannah enlightens the krewe about the origins of the Rainbow Flag, and Garrett just tries to...

Yet another Golden Age Hollywood classic but this time from the romantic mind of Terry J. Nelson.  Tune in as the boys bemoan the woes of love and being the better person while Hannah tries to bring the movie into a modern context with discussion points and woke buzzwords galore.  

The krewe broaches the messy topic of toxic masculinity and the ADD train is in full force going a little off the rails but doing their best to make s...

This week’s pick is another Golden Age Hollywood classic from our own golden-haired, Hollywood girl herself.  Tune in as Hannah tests the theory of if Gentlemen [really do] Prefer Blondes or if it’s all just ticklish business any way you look at it. 

While the boys may have been enamored with the bombshell duo of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, Hannah definitely had some tricks up her sleeve with some of those musical numbers.  Wi...

Join us this week as we discuss the 1954 Horror/Sci-Fi classic Them! If you are following along at home make sure you include 1954 and the ! in Them! lest you end up researching Van Morrison or the Amazon series. No, this good old slice of Americana stars James Whitmore (The Shawshank Redemption), James Arness, (Gunsmoke), and Joan Weldon.

Another one of Hannah's picks, which we swear are totally random, this episode starts out tal...

Join us for another episode where we discuss the 1974 Martin Scorsese film "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" starring Kris Kristofferson and Ellen Burstyn. If this episode seems a little heavy on Hannah and Garrett's side it's probably because Terry forgot how to use a microphone and Matthew forgot he had one.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enjoy this episode and stay tuned next month for two brand new movies that are revealed at the end of this episo...

We are back, baby! We are bringing you an all-new Season of Three Cissies and A Girl where we ruin your favorite classic movies. Youngblood is stepping in for Rob since his schedule training America’s future MMA badasses makes it difficult for him to join us and Terry is still... Terry. 

Join us this week for the pre-code 1934 classic The Thin Man where we discuss getting into Myrna Loy’s drawers. Besides Myrna Loy, the W. S. Van D...

Rob has a saying, "Ain't no kink-shaming here at 3CG" which leads us to Hannah's pick for Pride Month, Kinky Boots. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Joel Edgerton this 2005 comedy about a UK shoemaker that gets into the business of making boots for Drag Queens can't be too problematic right? We didn't censor Terry on this one and Garrett and his shoe fetish find his voice. 

It's possible our next episode might be a little late due to ...
