Trigger warning: this discussion centers around relationships, abuse, and sexuality which some viewers may find upsetting or inappropriate for younger audiences. Discretion is advised.

This is a discussion that I have waited almost 25 years to have. I spent multiple semesters getting top marks in Psych courses, making the dean's list & national honors society just to get to the point where I can dissect the dysfunctional personalities in a flop raunchy comedy you probably don't even remember.

Strap in, because we're taking a deep dive on this one. It's literally a movie that I only really like for the ending, because the rest of it is immensely uncomfortable. What do I mean? Listen and find out.

As always, any comments in response should be constructive and respectful.

In this long overdue episode, I'll take you on a journey through all kinds of movies that have characters that are either explicitly or implicitly autistic, and highlight the differences in how they are handled better or worse. Then we'll end on a discussion of autism in television, which only briefly touches on much of the attempts over the years.

In a rarity, I'm talking about a newer project that got overlooked by many last year. Cabrini tells the story of Mother Francesca, who founded the Sacred Heart orphanages & hospitals starting in the USA during the gilded age, and is recognized as America's first canonized saint and the patron saint of immigrants, as well as a bit of a feminist icon in the Catholic church.

To find out more, listen in.

Some discretion is advised for certain topics in the film.

In this episode, we take a look at the career of the late actress, Michelle Trachtenberg: her early days, her highs & lows, and everything in-between.

I really enjoyed her work over the years, and like many, was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Nevertheless, this 45' discussion pays homage to her as respectfully as she deserves, I think you'll agree.

Wherever you are, Michelle, we tip the bowler brim to you.

For those with younger listeners, discussion about the film EuroTrip does contain some explicit topics, upon which I attempt to tastefully exposit. Discretion is advised for that section.

In a semi-sequel to a recording I had on Patreon, let's take a look back at Earth 2, a popular & short-lived cult scifi show that was part of a mid-`90s boom in primetime science fiction series, featuring Clancy Brown, Terry O'Quinn, Tim Curry, and many more.

Don't worry, this review and discussion is mostly spoiler free.

In this episode, we'll focus on the talent behind a lesser-known comedy featuring some top-tier talent on both sides of the camera. How Going Berserk isn't better known is beyond me, but it fueled the usual exploration of a lot of more background on the talent involved in its realization.

Give a listen, and along the way, I'll point you to a lot of other content you can look up from these folks that is often free or included in most streaming services.

For a stressful holiday season, I couldn't think of anything better to discuss in-depth than one of the snarkiest Christmas comedies going.

Some of the music featured are popular Christmas novelty songs from around that time.

This episode is just a little off-the-cuff discussion of another off-beat Christmas movie.
