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?!

Ex-Rated Podcast: In Bruges

I got to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts, Ex-Rated! They were doing their Christmas in December series (gotta love that name) and asked me to pick a backdoor Christmas movie. I chose Martin McDonagh’s 2008 existential drama, “In Bruges”.

Happy Winter Solstice everybody! For those of us in the northern hemisphere, it’s the darkest day of the year, which makes this week’s Christmas flick all the more appropriate. Superstar friend of the pod Jessica Baxter joins us to discuss Martin McDonagh’s feature length debut, In Bruges (2008). Set against the backdrop of a freakin’ medieval fairy tale fantasy, this dark comedy smartly deals with classic religious themes such as guilt and purgatory, but looks at them through a very modern lens. The result, thanks to the brilliant script and impressive performances, is a rich, funny, and eminently watchable ride. Join us for an episode that includes our terrible attempts at Irish accents, a Gleeson family surprise, and a scale that goes all the way up to blobbychongas, this week on Ex Rated Movies!

Ex-Rated Podcast: Wild at Heart

1133333I recently had the opportunity to spew my guts out about one of my all-time favorite movies, Wild at Heart, on the Ex-Rated Podcast (so-named because the hosts used to date). Ryan Weadon and Matt Fisher were very fun to talk to about the movie, the Lynchverse, and Nic Cage’s eccentric spending habits, amongst other things. Please give it a listen over at Ex-Rated Movies.
