Paid in Puke Podcast S8E4: Jennifer’s Body


On Series 8, Episode 4 of Paid in Puke, we’re changing the narrative on Karyn Kusama’s 2009 horror comedy, Jennifer’s Body, written by Diablo Cody and starring Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox. 

This movie was criminally mis-marketed by male executives at the time, to teenage boys, when it’s actually a sapphic supernatural doomed high school romance. Even Cody might not have known just how Sapphic at this time…

15-year-old Logan joins us for an episode-long Keggers with Kids to discuss one of their very favorite movies, the dialogue (both clever and cringe), and the myriad Heathers parallels!

Paid in Puke Podcast S8 Special: RIP Angela Lansbury

Denise Rodriguez came on Paid in Puke to discuss “Desperately Seeking Susan” on the day that Angela Lansbury died. After we finished discussing the film, she enlightened us with encyclopedic knowledge of Lansbury’s career and, in particular, Murder She Wrote. It was too good to leave on the proverbial cutting room floor.  So please enjoy our little tribute to Dame Angela Lansbury.


October 16th, 1925 to October 11th, 2022.

Paid in Puke Podcast S8E3: Desperately Seeking Susan

On Series 8, Episode 3 of Paid in Puke, we have a blast discussing Susan Seidelman’s 1985 genre-bender, Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Rosanna Arquette, Laurie Metcalf, and friggin’ MADONNA, as well as a bevy of 1980s NYC character actors and hipsters. Baxter falls in love with Ann Magnuson from her 15 seconds of screen time alone. A movie this punk, ACAB, and sex positive is light on the Hot Probs. Apart from having to explain land lines and newspaper personal ads to younger viewers, this movie holds the hell up.

Special guest, Denise Rodriguez joins us to gush about this diamond in the rough and do a live deep dive into Seidelman’s criminally underrated career.

Paid in Puke Podcast S8E2: Walking and Talking

On episode 2 of Paid in Puke Series 8, we’re sitting and talking (sorry/notsorry) about Nicole Holofcener’s 1996 debut feature, Walking and Talking, starring Katherine Keener, Anne Heche, and Allison Janney for two scenes. 

Full disclosure, this was the first episode we’d recorded after our long hiatus, so there are some recording hiccups. Some of us forget our own name and mispronounce the director’s surname. Fortunately, the animated series “The Great North” helps us out with the latter issue, as they recently dropped an episode centered around Holofcener’s most recent film, “Enough Said”. 

Join us to discuss Big Jeans (both the cat and the fashion trend), consequences for casual cruelty, and the nature of phones in the 90s.

Really Weird Stuff Podcast – Twin Peaks S2E16: The Condemned Woman

On episode 24 of Really Weird Stuff, we’re discussing Twin Peaks Season 2, Episode 16: “The Condemned Woman“. This episode was written by Tricia Brock and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. Brock and Glatter had the unenviable task of bidding adieu to Josie and James, and they rise to the occasion, with a well-written script, and solid direction. Special guest Ryan Weadon of Ex-Rated Movies Podcast joins us to explore such mysteries as:

WHERE, oh where, is Doc Hayward?

IS it actually romantic to call someone “the love of your life” when you’re only in your early thirties?

WHO is that mysterious woman in the bright blue dress?

And of course…

WHAT HAPPENED TO JOSIE?!

Paid in Puke Podcast S8E1: Don’t Worry Darling


On our Series 8 opener, we’re Paid in Pugh’k! It’s a drama-o-rama, spoiler-filler Don’t Worry Darling Extravaganzah! If you’ve been living under a Hollywood-free rock, that’s Olivia Wilde’s genre hopper staring Florence Pugh, Gemma Chan, Kiki Layne, Kate Berlant, and Wilde herself. The script was heavily re-worked by Wilde’s Booksmart scribe, Katie Silberman. 

What IS DWD? Horror? Sci-Fi? A Thriller made by someone who doesn’t understand the genre? We find Hot Probs galore, but also gush over the lewks, Pugh’s star power, and Kate Berlant’s ability to find the funniest possible delivery in every line. 

If you want details, we have them, complete with a timeline and the scoop on the Kiki Layne cut. (RELEASE THE KIKI LAYNE CUT!)

Grab a cocktail, put off that housework, and pleasure yourself.

Really Weird Stuff Podcast – Twin Peaks S2E15: Slaves and Masters

On episode 23 of Really Weird Stuff, we’re discussing Twin Peaks Season 2, Episode 15: “Slaves and Masters“. This episode was written by Harley Peyton and Robert Engels and directed – rather infamously – by THE Diane Keaton. We maintain that it’s one of the better episodes to deal with the hot mess of the two worst storylines, and it concludes them with gusto. Special guest Chris Brugos joins us to explore such mysteries as:

WHY is Albert in such a great mood all of a sudden?

WHO is Donna fooling with that fake phone call?

HOW much money did Windom Earle spend at the Spirit Halloween Store?

PLUS: Where has Evelyn been hiding those sexy widow clothes?

Really Weird Stuff E22: Twin Peaks – Double Play

On episode 22 of Really Weird Stuff, we’re discussing Twin Peaks Season 2, Episode 14: “Double Play“. This episode was written by Harley Peyton and directed by Uli Edel (Body of Evidence). It’s best known as the one with a whole lot of time spent on the three most intolerable plots (James & Evelyn, Little Nicky, & Ben Horne’s Civil War re-enactment), but it also delivers a very compelling horror vignette when Leo attacks Shelly in their perpetually under-construction home. Special guest Chris Brugos joins us to explore such mysteries as:

HOW can Windom carry so much literal dead weight without any help?
DO Ed and Norma know you can divorce someone BEFORE they go to jail or lose their mind?
WHAT should Ben have re-enacted instead of the Civil War?

PLUS: A full deconstruction of the “Asian Man Killed!!” news article prop!!

Special guest Matt Fisher of Ex-Rated Movies Podcast joins us to explore such mysteries as:

DOES anyone like the James and Evelyn plot?
WHY is Windom Earle So extra?
WHERE is Nadine’s high school comedy spin-off?

PLUS: Matt brings us another viable theory for where to stick FWWM in the viewing order!
