Answer the hamburger phone because this week, Maggie Robertson wants to talk to you about Diablo Cody's Juno. The point of this film is often lost on audiences. We discuss why, and explore how its theme is sometimes deliberately misrepresented to reinforce political arguments for and against reproductive rights. Mostly, we just enjoy the hell out of the film for being a great coming of age comedy. Click here to make a donation to FilmMad Society. I appreciate your support!

Because I wasn't depressed enough after watching Schindler's List last week I invited Mike Chiseck over to discuss Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no Haka). Somehow, I feel better. Maybe it's the new studio computer. Click here to make a donation to FilmMad Society. I appreciate your support!

This week I'm joined by fellow podcast and mom-to-be Erica Chiseck. We thought that we would start our day by exploring the ugliness of the holocaust over coffee (no worries, preggo's was decaf). I had never seen the film before and I was shocked to learn about the controversy over Schindler's legacy.  Click here to make a donation to FilmMad Society. I appreciate your support!

Andy Hung drops by because he’s looking for signs of life. All he finds is FRED-E, a robot left behind on a dystopian Earth to clean up old VHS copies of Ernest Goes to Jail and Atari 2600 E.T. cartridges. They fall in love and save a bunch of morbidly obese people from eating themselves to death in space. Oh, and they discuss Wall-E, too. Click here to make a donation to FilmMad Society.

I’m joined this week by fellow podcaster/author R.K. “Kelley” Kombrinck (click here to visit Kelley’s Amazon author page). We discuss Frank Darabont’s 1994 film adaptation of Stephen King’s novella The Shawshank Redemption (AKA Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption). We talk about possible alternate casting of the film’s characters, interpretations of themes that go so far as to compare Andy Dufresne to Jesus, some of the math behind Red’s prison economy, and more!
