Sneople At The Movies
The Sneople are just three queer nerds who grew up at the beginning of the digital era of fandom and are here to offer a fresh take on what movies mean to them, what it means to be represented in cinema as a queer person and who should win Best Picture this year.

It’s been a while since we’ve done an Unusual Double Feature, one of our favorite episode themes, so we are long overdue! This time though, it feels a little less unusual and a little more like a movie blind date - this week, we’re pairing up Sunshine (2007) and Event Horizon (1997)!
This is more of a blind date because, like many couples who get set up by other people, these movies seem very similar on the surface: films set in s...

This week on Sneople, the Sneople cover a genre proves a little tricky to define, spans movies, tv, books, and comics, and incites an argument (or two) amongst our hosts - Urban Fantasy!
This episode starts, as many do, with definitions - what exactly makes an urban fantasy movie, and how is it different from straight up monster movies or something with fantasy elements that takes place in modern times? After a quick but decisive ...

Long delayed but also long in the making, this week the Sneople are finally doing a David Lynch memorial episode!
Helena and Matty go a little off the deep end this episode (as they do every episode they’re left to their own devices), covering Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Dune (obviously) and so so much more. Warning, this episode is full of spoilers/discussion of a variety of Lynch films (...

This week is a (sort of?) somber episode, beloved listeners - we’ve recorded an homage to the life and career of Val Kilmer, an actor who had a big impact on all of the Sneople.
From Top Gun to Batman Forever, Willow to Tombstone, and of course Heat to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the Sneople go through several films featuring Val Kilmer and the many many highlights in his work. Like any of our in memoriam episodes, it’s tricky writing ou...

Due to the Wicked Curse (the curse that breaks the podcast when we talk about Wicked the movie for too long). Thankfully, we were able to push through to present to you - our extremely belated Oscars episode!
First and foremost, it’s time for a very long What We Sneep spanning back into (checks notes) late 2024. We got Christmas movies, we got movies that we just happened to see on Christmas, we have Helena frantically trying to ...

Happy Snanniversary, beloved listeners!! We’re back after our long break and celebrating our FIVE YEAR (???) anniversary with another film commentary, so load up your DVDs or what have you - it’s time for a watch-along of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets!
Despite the massive What We Sneep backlog, we skip that segment to get right into the thrilling and extremely confusing action of National Treasure 2. During the process of t...

The end of 2024 is fast approaching, beloved listeners, and with it comes both the return of Helena and a rush of new films just in time for the holiday season. This week, the Sneople are starting Awards Season Talk!
Helena’s got a lot to catch up on RE What We Sneeped, but after that Ezra joins them to talk about all the latest and greatest (?) hits of the season - this was going to be an episode just about Conclave, but is it re...

Happy Halloween, beloved listeners! This week, we’ve got a topic that is both very seasonal and has been a long time coming - vampires!
After getting thoroughly distracted for like ten whole minutes by National Mole Day, the Sneople crack open the massive topic of vampire media with a project that’s been haunting Matty for years - Dracula Watch! They don’t linger too long on that Sisyphean task, however, because there is simply to...

We have a new game for you this week, beloved listeners! Ben from Syndicated with Lesley and Ben returns to the show to play a Chaos in Stereo classic with us - Is It More Like?
The rules of the game are simple: in each round, one of the hosts thinks of a movie, and the other hosts each take turns trying to guess said film by asking if it’s more like one movie or a different one - for example, The Wickerman (1973) or John Wick (20...

Welcome back, beloved listeners! This week we’re catching up (mostly on Helena’s backlog) with a flashback to high school English class: Roses and Thorns!
We’re taking a twist on a long What We Sneep by going through each movie or show we watched and giving it Roses (things about the movie/show we liked) and Thorns (things we didn’t). From Four Weddings and a Funeral to Deadpool and Wolverine to several Alien movies, Matty and H...

Thrilling news, beloved listeners! We have a very special guest this episode - Lys (@daunt_lys on twitter) is on to discuss alien movies with us!
After clarifying that this is, in fact, an episode about the genre of alien movies rather than the Alien franchise and also discussing the horrors of the Borderlands movie, the crew gets into the meat of alien movies. By that, we of course mean that all three of them get deeply distracte...

Welcome back, beloved listeners! This week, we’re tackling some movies with bizarre plot twists: The Da Vinci Code, Dracula 2000 and (vaguely), our old friend Van Helsing (2004)!
This episode opens with a brief review of the (fascinating? unhinged?) plot of The Da Vinci Code for those who haven’t seen the film or read the book - Matty fell into that category before seeing this movie for the show and boy howdy, they were not ready ...

We’re back, beloved listeners, and we’re ringing the imaginary boxing match bell in celebration of this week’s Remake Rumble: 3:10 to Yuma (1957) versus it’s 2007 remake!
Per any good Remake Rumble episode, the Sneople spend a little time explaining the basic premise of the films before diving headfirst into the differences, what they like or dislike about each, and what makes each of these movies like, SO gay. This doesn’t even c...

The summer season is in full swing, beloved listeners, heat waves and all! In order to cope, the Sneople are discussing Summer Movies!
Like any good Sneople episode, this one features categories galore, like the difference between a movie that makes you think of summer, a summer blockbuster, and a Summer Movie (with many overlaps in-between). With categories comes lists featuring many of the Sneople’s summer faves, such as Jaws, T...

IT’S THEIR BIRTHDAY and by they we mean Matty and by it’s their birthday we mean it was their birthday two weeks ago. The important part is it’s their Birthday Episode and they have a doozy of a triple feature this week - Mad Max 2, Max Mad: Fury Road, and Escape from New York!
After their new accidental segment, Concert Talk, Matty gives a brief summary of all three films (more or less), as well as the reasoning behind pairing th...

Happy Pride, beloved listeners! This episode, the Sneople are celebrating with an extremely appropriate topic - Camp Film!
After a hearty What We Sneep, the Sneople get into describing what they think camp even means when it comes to film, a topic that’s more difficult to tackle than they expected. From there, it’s the camp films and directors they love, why they’ve stood the test of time, and why camp is important to them as quee...
