At The Devils Ball Nathaniel J and Sammy Numine

We're just getting started partying like it's 1999 and we brought a date to the party: Audition, the feel good romantic comedy of 1999. Also, a harrowing journey through toxic gender politics, grief, and trauma. Also, our other date is Paul Steadman who is arguably less traumatic than Audition.

May the 4th be with you! This week, we cover the second (but also fifth) movie in the Star Wars franchise (because we're hacks) for Star Wars Day, with discussions ranging from the enduring legacy of Star Wars and sympathy for Hayden Christensen.

"Party Like It's 1999" month begins with two very sleepy hosts discussing FIGHT CLUB, the 1999 satire of toxic masculinity, cult mentality and recruitment, and metafiction. So reject your materialism, throw yourself through a coffee table and listen to us attempt to discuss a great film!

Paul Verhoeven month wraps up with a conversation on the erotic thriller "Basic Instinct!" Joined by the hosts of The Skewered Universe Podcast (Jeff Baldree and Leinann Heinrich), the guys discuss thriller tropes, sexual dominance, and the ongoing cultural issues in regards to the female body. So get all sweaty like Wayne Knight with us and enjoy!

This week, the guys continue Verhoeven month with the director's controversial satire STARSHIP TROOPERS. Along with special guest Mark Olszewski of the band NMA, the guys discuss topics like fascism, people who like fascism, people who don't understand satire, and the tragedy of Diz. Come Do Your Part for the Federation! Listening means citizenship!

Get yo ass tah mahs! Paul Verhoeven tribute month continues with TOTAL RECALL, the glorious action/sci-fi hybrid from 1990. The guys discuss the films enduring legacy on pop culture, satire and, of course, Arnold and his career.
