Episode Seventeen: Jared Gilman (Moonrise Kingdom)

In May of 2021 we tweeted at Jared Gilman (Moonrise Kingdom) asking him to be on the podcast. By some stupid dumb luck, he said yes. But, by even more stupid dumb luck, our lives quickly fell apart and this episode was never edited. ...Until today. Thank you for bearing with us for the past year and two months, but our biggest apologies to Jared Gilman who was forced to talk to us for over an hour. If you have any films you want us to talk about, let us know.

Episode Sixteen: 2022 Oscars Preview

Surprise, Benson. I bet you thought you saw the last of me. BUT YOU HAVEN'T! When one of the four idiot hosts is a communications major who takes a class dedicated to podcasting, it reignites something. This Oscars season is already shaping up to be something special, so we have a little preview of some of the movies that are rising to the top of conversation and how we feel they're gonna fare. We're so psyched to be back! If you have any films you want us to talk about, let us know.

Episode Thirteen: Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

CHENQUIEH BENSONS - this week, we are ~very excite~ to be covering "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." The Very Nice Sacha Baron Cohen reprises the role of journalist Borat Sagdiyev as he attempts to get Kazakhstan on good terms with the US+A. When things with the initial bribe go awry, his daughter, played by Maria Bakalova, is chosen to be given as a gift to Vice Premier Mike Pence. The sequel is just as controversial, hilarious, and insane as the first movie - but will it be a great success come Oscars night?
