Enjoy film analysis with a dose of nonsensical, sassy commentary? Watch the film with us! Every month, hosts Lara and Cheryl deep dive into a film and chat about four topics related to the movie. We draw comparisons with other films we have watched and chat about how the film industry has and continues to develop. Listen in on our lighthearted conversations as we watch and reflect on different film genres, with small doses of silliness sprinkled throughout!

Queerness in Hyper-masculine Contexts | Brokeback Mountain Part 2
With the western being such a masculine genre, we draw parallels with other hyper-masculine arenas of life, such as sports and the military, and discuss the impact of those arenas on the queer community and the performance of masculinity and heightened male emotion within those parts of society.

Gay Cowboys! | Brokeback Mountain Part 1
What is the definition of a cowboy? In this episode, we finally learn what a cowboy means and come to the conclusion why gay cowboys actually make a lot of sense! We also compare the three queer characters from “Brokeback Mountain” and “The Power of the Dog”, including how they differ and how their upbringing may have changed their attitudes.

Great pod. The Oscar episodes in particular are bangers.
Only 2 episodes in and already obsessed!!
I listened while watching Letters to Juliet and felt like I was watching a movie with my friends! Loved the insight and commentary, so relatable - such a unique idea!!
Most Enjoyable Podcast
I love listening to “WTF with us” while cooking! It’s like watching a movie at the same time with fun commentaries in the comfort of my home. Such a neat idea for a podcast! The dialogue is great and always gets me a good laugh out. If you haven’t listened, I highly recommend!
