Hello from your newly crowned Quarantine Queens, Captain Nancy and Jerrica Lala. This month we’re tripping the light fantastic in a DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION episode!

Family, food, classic Christmas movies, and Nancy’s abs are all up for analysis this month as we discuss and debate two pairs of Christmas classics in a bout to knock the other movie out! They may be running behind, but Jerrica and Nance take no prisoners this December – unless they agree to watch our behinds while running. Enjoy and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Magical World of Disney (or, how to differentiate anthrax and fairy dust)

Popular Parallax — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 12:00:00 -0400

Tell me Captain, now when did you last let your heart decide? Nancy follows his heart and spills the t on how his favourite Disney movies shaped (warped) his childhood, while Jerrica brings it in for the win with an uplifting diatribe on gender and race issues hidden (and not so hidden) in many Disney classics. That Celine Dion sure can sing though! Get into it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE.

Popular Parallax — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 10:55:00 -0400

They’re here, they’re queer, they want to suck your blood! Jerrica and Nance start Season 2 off with a squelch as they review The Hunger and Interview With a Vampire. Both movies feature a dazzling array of highs and lows – resulting in our usual magic formula of fangirling, spoilers and rage!

Sci Fi Does the 80s!

Popular Parallax — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 11:00:00 -0400

That time when everything was coming up roses (and coloured rose): the 80s. As sci-fi reflects our current vision of the future, this vision shifts as time goes by. As with every decade, some masterpieces came out of it, and some bigfooted clunkers. We take a look at the direct result of big hair, big makeup and big shoulders: cute aliens, cute robots, cute puppets.

Movies we’ll be Watching in Hell

Popular Parallax — Tue, 04 Jul 2017 11:00:00 -0400

Let’s face it. If there is a hell, we’ll be there for all the cussin’ and judgin’. But who’s to say we can’t still be entertained? The weather’s heating up, and we’re melting down as we go IN on our “top” picks for movies we’ll be watching in hell. Forecasts show 100% chance of profanity, but at least it’s a dry heat.

Eternal Youth and Beauty (or because I’m worth it)

Popular Parallax — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 11:00:00 -0400

Maybe she’s born with it – maybe it’s dark magic!

Bunny and Jerrica delve into the wild and sometimes unsavoury world of staying young and beautiful in science fiction…and in hollywood. Movies like Death Becomes Her, Logan’s Run and The Congress all tell stories of retaining eternal youth, almost always at a terrible price. The flaming hypocrisy between the judgement of the movies and the reality of being a hollywood actor is not lost on your hosts.

Power up your school uniforms for a brilliant, idiotic, girl-power fueled love-fest about five school girls from Tokyo. When they discovered their former identities as Guardians, all hell broke loose and gave the world SAILOR MOON. In this very special podcast, Bunny & Jerrica break all boundaries, shit-talking and spilling the t on their own past lives and permanent bond with this Japanese phenomenon.
