Film Strippers

Film Strippers is back, baby! Today we talk about COVID-19, focusing on the films Contagion (2011), 28 Days Later (2002), 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016), and Children of Men (2006).

We didn't shoot our eye out, but we did break down one of the greatest and most iconic Christmas movies of all time. We also discuss the worst Christmas presents we ever received.

Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color? Today we talk about (probably) the most loved modern Christmas movie, Elf. We also give our opinions on the 'Baby It's Cold Outside' debate. Don't be an angry elf.

Murry Crimmus, and welcome to our final season of the year! Today, we talk about the timeless Christmas treasure, It's a Wonderful Life. Topics include how the film was originally met with mixed reviews, whether or not it counts as a Christmas movie, how interesting of a character Mary really is, and what we can take away from a character like George Bailey.

One of the most beloved westerns of all time (and the first western we have done on the show) finally gets an episode. Based on a real-life outlaw gang, this legend lives on forever thanks to this legendary film.

We dive a bit deeper than usual into emotions, love, and the future of automation in this episode, all pertaining to Spike Jonze's Her. We also touch on polyamory and why such a strange movie is loved by so many people.

Nearly a decade later, we still cherish Tarantino's version of how WWII could have ended. We discuss our love for the Q and Inglorious Basterds in this episode, as well as why the movie title was misspelled and other 'misteakes' you may have missed during the film.

We are kicking off our Movember season with one of the most beloved and cherished movies of all time. Yet, somehow we still end up talking about nazis by the end of the episode. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Happy Halloween, Film Strippers. Today we discuss the birth of the golden age of Horror Films, thanks to the incredible and innovative Halloween! We also get to talk to my mom about seeing Halloween on her first date with my dad. 

Even before the Satanic Panic of the 1980's/90's, the world was introduced to the true horror of Rosemary's Baby. Polanski's execution is widely regarded as flawless, which may explain the actual evil inside of him. We also discuss whether or not Rosemary is written to be a strong female character or not. Hail Adrian!

What's your favorite scary movie? It's incredible that a self-aware horror film built from tropes and stereotypes can become an instant classic in the genre. We are stoked to talk about one of the most sentient horror films of the modern era in this eppie.

Friday the 13th is Kyle's favorite slasher franchise, but how does the first of the series change what we know about horror? We discuss this and real-life summer camp stories in this week's episode.

In this episode we pay tribute to one of the scariest, if not THE SCARIEST movie of all time. Does it hold up in time, though? We also discuss ghost stories of our own, the terrors of a cursed set, and (of course) we include some fun facts.

The Shining is possibly the greatest horror movie of ALL TIME. What a way to kick off our Horror Classics season! In this eppie, we talk about classic horror VS modern horror and the impact that The Shining has on the genre. We also discuss some fan theories and, of course, some fun facts.

Goonies never say die! Kyle gets super defensive when he hears Kelsey's opinion on The Goonies. We also discuss pirates, stereotypes, and fun facts!

Kelsey's pick for the viewer's choice season is one of the greatest teen romance movies of all time! We discuss our favorite scenes, as well as the Lloyd Dobler Effect and the psychology behind teen romance movies. 

Our (not actually)Final episode of the Viewer's Choice Season comes with a beautiful show & tell love story with Manhattan and some of its eclectic residents. We discuss our love/hate relationship with Woody Allen films and compare Manhattan with Annie Hall quite a bit.

Today, we discuss Disney's 50th Animated Feature Film, TANGLED! Somehow we still found a way to make this episode inappropriate. We also talk about whether Danny DeVito is hot or not. 

Can a man be friends with a woman without any sexual tension? When Harry Met Sally is an iconic film that brings these questions to light that we have been discussing for a VERY long time. This week, we have a very special guest to help us talk about the psychology and social structure of mixed-gender friendships, specifically in relation to When Harry Met Sally. 

Screw the first rule of Fight Club. AND THE SECOND ONE! We do what we want, which is spend our precious time watching an awesome movie for the dozenth time and talking about it with the man himself, Conor Molloy! Thanks for nominating Fight Club for our Viewer's Choice season, Conor!
