Never Did It
Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler
100 years, 200 movies. Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler assign each other one movie the other has never seen for each of the last 100 years.
Bonus: The Devil Wears Prada 2
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a huge hit, so we look back a the first film in the series and this one to see how Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci performed. Anyone else think it's weird that no one ever mentions David Frankel, the guy who directed both movies?Hosted by Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler, with guest Jeff Richardson. 0:00 The Devil Wears Prada - 6:03 The Devil Wears Prada 2

2020s Women in Cinema: "The Fallout" and "CODA"
On our season finale, we look at two women-directed movies from 2021, both about teenage girls coming into adulthood. You'd think they'd share a similar trajectory, but one won Best Picture at the Oscars, and the better one sits on HBO Max in relative obscurity. Here what we had to say about Sian Heder and Megan Park's movies. Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler. #rankingmovies

2010s Women in Cinema: "Your Sister's Sister" and "Clemency"
As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, the 2010s serve up the mumblecore classic "Your Sister's Sister" and the ultra-serious "Clemency". We look at Lynn Shelton's very funny outing starring Emily Blunt, Rosemarie Dewitt, and Mark Duplass. Chinonye Chukwu's death row drama, starring Alfre Woodard as the powerful lead, gets a lot of scrutiny this week. We also hear from Ryan Verrill about his new physical media and film distribution venture, Antenna Releasing!Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler, with guest Ryan Verrill0:00 Antenna Releasing9:03 Your Sister's Sister17:34 Clemency#physicalmedia #bluray #4kmovies

Bonus: What If Only Women were Nominated for Best Director at the Oscars?
We had some fun rewriting Oscar history and deciding who would have been nominated and who would have won the Best Director Academy Award from 2011-present if only women were eligible. Nominees/winners Kathryn Bigelow, Greta Gerwig, Chloe Zhao, Emerald Fennell, Sophia Coppola, and Jane Campion aren't the only ladies getting the spotlight here. We look at the movies of Emma Seligman, Scarlet Johan, Scarlett Johansson, Lulu Wang, Ava DuVernay, and many more.Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler0:00 Introduction, 3:00 2011, 6:33 2012, 9:35 2013, 12:03 2014, 14:56 2015, 17:27 2016, 19:23 2017, 22:30 2018, 25:37 2019, 29:34 2020, 34:12 2021, 37:50 2022, 40:13 2023, 43:22 2024, 47:09 2025#barbie #zerodarkthirty #powerofthedog

2000s Women in Cinema: "Friday" and "Morvern Callar"
As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, "Frida" and "Morvern Callar" take center stage. We look at Julie Taymor's biopic and guess at how much interference Harvey Weinstein inflicted on it, and we let ourselves feel sad as we watch Lynne Ramsay's "Morvern Callar" and talk about how it relates to her newest film, "Die My Love." And stick around to the end to hear Jake give his predictions for the 98th Academy Awards/2026 Oscars.

1980s Women in Cinema: "Yentl" and "Pet Sematary"
As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, "Yentl" and "Pet Sematary" take center stage. We look at Barbra Streisand's directorial debut has us enjoying the performances and the politics and being confused by the music. Mary Lambert's adaptation of the Stephen King book has us scratching our heads entirely. Soap opera acting, dangling plot points, too many themes (or are there no themes at all?) make this fun to talk about after being tough to watch.
