Wow, we were so ahead of the curve on the bingo trend...

We made “Fuck This Movie Bingo” weeks ago.

Just in time for Pride month, the undeniably queer Stage Door is not not an odd couple romantic comedy. A terrific movie where the Powerful Lesbian Energy fan service is only barely subtextual— Katherine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers play two up and coming Broadway actresses thrown together by circumstance who pretty obviously fall in love with each other.

Listen to the podcast now (and then watch the movie!):

So, possibly of interest only to the LP crew, but I went to the most rad museum in Prague that was about the work of Karel Zeman, this incredible Czech director and practical effects genius, and now I need to watch all of his movies. (And I got to drive the dragon plane from The Fabulous World of Jules Verne, pictured)

Not the best Frank Capra movie, this is nevertheless one of my favorite episodes: we quoted Paradise Lost, discussed the differences between pre- and post-cyberpunk sci-fi, reference the War of the Worlds, the Louvre, the Napoleonic Wars, and discuss the differences in colonialist perceptions of Asia in the 30s vs. the present, and generally dog on capitalism.

Check it out!

This week's episode is about Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, which is THE best movie we've watched so far.

Watch the movie.

I mean, listen to the episode, too, I guess, but more importantly, watch this gorgeous, thoughtful, funny, heart rending, and not just a little bit socialist Frank Capra gem ASAP.

I've seen this actor in like half a dozen things but I never knew her name was Tuppence (as in "two pence") Middleton.

Like her actual, for real, given name.

WTF.

That's like naming your kid Yorkshire Pudding Spencer or Codswallop Stewart.

I don’t care at all who wins tonight movie-wise, since I have to watch all the nominees at some point, but can we just scrap all of the official nominees and give Billy Porter EVERY AWARD for this black velvet tuxedo gown?

Screen Test of Time, Ep. 60: The Story of Louis Pasteur

So far, 1936 holds steady with the totally acceptable biopic, The Story of Louis Pasteur. Telling the somewhat… uh… sanitized version of Pasteur’s proving the existence of microbes and the germ theory of disease, Paul Muni plays the famed chemist as a crotchety genius at odds with the rather sociable and charming members of the medical establishment, personified by Fritz Leiber as the fictional Dr. Charbonnet.
