Ep34 - F*cked Up People In F*cked Up Situations, with Paige Fetter
Friday Feb 25, 2022
Friday Feb 25, 2022
You probably already guessed it based on the episode title, but this one is about Solaris! The 2002 version. Featuring wonderful guest, LA-based esthetician Paige Fetter. Content Note: This is the episode about depression and it is depressing, smiley face! :) But as veterans of Team Depression, Paige and Mixtape still keep the laughter going as they discuss queer awakenings, not being a size 00 in the 90's, and what happens when a Manic Pixie Dream Girl develops self-awareness.MUSIC: Adult Problems by Richard and the Julians Copyright Richard and the Julians 2015; Popcorn Frog by MC Chris Copyright mc chris llc 2013.

Ep33 - Return to Oz: Gateway to Horror, with Chad ”IMDB” Opitz
Wednesday Jan 19, 2022
Wednesday Jan 19, 2022
Happy National Popcorn Day! We hope you've got a hot belly full of kernels on this fine winter evening as Chad "IMDB" Opitz takes us into the gateway of horror with Return to Oz (1985). From talking chickens to screaming British punk rockers with wheels for hands, Return to Oz has got something for everyone. Especially for the kids who love to sneak down the stairs to watch that one movie that Mom and Dad said was too scary... We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it -- almost as much as Chad enjoyed his childhood vacation to Hawaii! See you on the other side, kernels.

Ep32 - The Ending Story, with Heather Rogue
Monday Dec 27, 2021
Monday Dec 27, 2021
We're bringing the end of 2021 to a close with The NeverEnding Story, which feels like an aptly titled watch during the endless pandemic of 2019, am I right?! This episode features possibly the first mention of Mixtape's real name, and is being released on her birthday, so you can stalk her pretty good now. Heather's birthday is just two days after Mixtape's, so the Capricorn energy on this episode is off the charts, whatever that means. Something about goats, and popcorn. For sure. Heather and Mixtape talk about Titanic, Metropolis, what Nothing means, and is The NeverEnding Story a trans allegory? Listen to agree! And remember -- TERF wolves are not welcome here.
