It’s finally here! We are ending season three with a bang by taking it back to where it all began - a planet called Arkanar, a man called Rumata, and a song so sweet it’ll make you cry. Enjoy our season finale where we watched the 1989 classic Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein, better known to the loyal fans as Hard to be a God. Buckle up as we discuss poisoned potions, full frontal nudity, and helicopter safety. Also, stay tuned all the way through the end to hear the First Annual (?) Subby Awards where we give accolades to some of our favorite movies from season three. Ariel put on a dress. It was stunning. Theme Music: Hard to be a God by Grant Stevens

Equal parts poignant political satire and slapstick sex comedy, Benvenuto Presidente! quickly became one of our favorite movies we’ve ever watched. While discussing this movie, we debated Italian government systems, discussed BDSM, and fantasized of a President in America like Giuseppe “Peppino” Garibaldi. Travel with us to a better place filled with invalid doctors, Brazilian ducks, and a LOT of weed. Theme Music: Chairaggione by Nitro ft. Salmo (Prod. by tha Supreme)

Much like the movie, we’re not going to fill you with a lot of explanation in the beginning. Just dive right in. Theme Music: Polish Trap by Q-Kwass & JB

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. Still with us? Good. Strap in for a movie about love in all its forms and also a little bit about apples. Did I mention we have a guest?! What?! Crazy! It’s long time friend of the show Leena Zarlinga! She is an incredible guest and helps us work through one of our best episodes yet! What’s that? You’ve listened to this whole episode and you want MORE LEENA?! We don’t blame you, she’s awesome. Check her out! Facebook! Twitter! Instagram! She’s got it all! Theme Music: Damn by Raftaar feat. KR$NA The middle song is called Arey Pyaar Kar Le and it is part of the ASTOUNDING soundtrack to this film. Check it out on Spotify, Apple Music, or just search the name of this movie wherever you get your music! Thank us later.

We hope you haven’t had your fill of potassium yet, because we’re traveling allllllll the way to Japan in the 90s to see if you really can get a banana at that time of night. Follow along as we discuss various kinds of sushi, the ethics of jokes involving death scares, mixed messages, and more! Theme Music: Dirt Boys by KOHH feat. Dutch Montana & Loota

Grief is a very difficult thing to deal with. Throw in a sickly little girl, some cooky neighbors, and the ever-present threat of death by bombing, and you’ve got Under the Shadow! This one had a lot to unpack, so we called in some reinforcements in the form of longtime friend of the show Patrick Johnstone! Through the power of the internet, we recorded an episode with Patrick where we talked about everything from Jane Fonda to evil tarps. Theme Music: بهای رهایی (Price of Freedom) by Salome MC feat. SplytSecond

BACK AT IT AGAIN LIKE WE NEVER LEFT! The world has gotten pretty wild since we last released an epsiode, but not to fear: we’re back.

And the Oscar goes to…us for having such a great time recording this Oscars episode! Corpus Christi translates to “Body of Christ” in Latin, which makes this an incredibly apt title for this 2019 religious drama!

What up! Have we been off for like two months without an episode? None of your business! In this episode, we try to answer a different question. War! What is it good for?

In the 1930s, in rural Spain, women didn’t have many rights. They made two sisters marry actual wolves. It was crazy. Check it out.
