Considering the loss of Sam Neill, Beth and Michelle discuss his professed pivotal film, My Brilliant Career (1979). The show was meant to be a solemn ode to Sam, but like the man himself, it became a remembrance filled with laughter and love. He was just that kind of human being.

The incredible Polly Schattel @pollyschattel.bsky.social joins us in this weeks episode. Her pick for Pride Month is Ma Vie en Rose (My Life in Pink) 1997. A French-Belgian film that has a lot more complexity than you would expect. This dredged up a lot of emotional discussion.

Cozy Quilt Cinema - Two cartoon women, one with dark brown curly hair and one with light brown straight hair cuddle on a couch watching a screen with a photo from the movie "My Life In Pink" 1997. The photo shows the characters Élisabeth (grandmother), Ludovic (child) and Hanna (Mother) who is holding her hand on the side of Ludovic's face as they sit on a couch.

This month we are reviewing LGBTQ films. This week is Boy Meets Girl 2014. The movie that helped to crack the shell of Beth's egg. We spend lifetimes trying to understand one another, perhaps this will give a bit of insight on trans women.

Boy Meets Girl 2014 - Michelle Hendley as Ricky Jones and Alexandra Turshen as Francesca Duval.

Beth and Michelle watch a cozy and offbeat romcom about a meat cute between a woman running from her past, a man afraid of the future and murder most foul.

Pack your kitbags and blanket fort we are going down unda! This week Beth & Michelle dust off Baz Luhrmann's "Australia" (2008), part sweeping Western, part wartime drama, part maximalist romance. It's a cinematic patchwork quilt, and we are absolutely here for the chaos.

We were named the "Number 1 Podcast" by our cat, Poe. She loves our podcast so much she can't help but climb onto our desk and equipment during recording. Super Fan really. So, thanks Poe for this great honor. Please stay off the sound board.

Our thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Rob and Michele Reiner. They were good people who advocated for equal rights for all. It is with great sorrow that they have been ripped away from life unjustly. They will be sorely missed.

Michele and Rob Reiner smiling happily together.

An old Irish castle, ghosts and Beverly D'Angelo? It must be High Spirits! It's a film that doesn't take itself too seriously while begging the audience to find parts of it very seriously. Michelle and Beth go on a haunt! #HighSpirits #SteveGuttenberg #NeilJordan #DarrylHannah

Our upcoming episode is a tale of workplace dynamics, where the scent of 'desire' is... debatable. The film explores the groundbreaking concept of women- reading the news. A truly radical idea.
