This month, Zoe and Margie dive headfirst into the MRA cesspool that is 1979's Kramer vs. Kramer, a movie with 90% less Meryl Streep than we deserve and 100% more jabs at feminism than we can tolerate. Along the way they discuss what Drake Bell and Shia LeBoeuf have in common (it's not fun!), what unknown actress Meryl Streep looks like, and how the comments section of YouTube can be your angle or your devil. Plus, Margie is ungrateful to her boyfriend for trying to fix her car, Zoe surprises absolutely no one with her Dump Him and Watch Instead, and if you listen real hard you might be able to hear Zoe's toes.

There is no Ghostbusters (1984), only Ghostbusters (2016). In this episode, worlds collide as we watch another Bill Murrary-Harold Ramis thing directed by the guy who did Animal House. Where did Bill Murray learn to be so charmingly disaffected, and why wasn't this a murder mystery set at Rick Moranis' client party? Also: New York-native Margie can't recognize the Empire State Building, Zoe talks about family business meetings, and Linda Hamilton makes a surprise appearance!"Best" "Conservative" "Movies": https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2009/02/23/best-conservative-movies/Theme Song: "Ghosties" by Hot Lava

Strap on your football helmet and buckle your denim, this week we're on a collision course with boredom as Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda take to the road in Easy Rider. How can a drug-fueled adventure yield such little entertainment value? Zoe and Margie are on the case! Far more entertaining than watching the actual movie, this episode is sponsored by Mardi Gras and red spandex tights.Is There Life on Other Planets? - https://youtu.be/EkvffcxQzMYChick Biker Flicks - https://www.papermag.com/10-badass-biker-babes-movies-1427650946.html

BELUUUUUSHHHIIIIIIIII

Margie watched this movie on DVD! It's RoboCop, Paul Verhoeven's famous and clever 1987 satire of American society. We don't discuss the difference between robots and cyborgs, probably because we're too busy debating whether it's better to remember but not feel or feel but not remember. Zoe comes up with a good name for a poem, Margie explains what it means to drop trou, and we speculate on RoboCopulation.

Brush up on your primary colors for this week's episode where we watch Quentin Tarantino's debut film, Reservoir Dogs.

In this episode of Spite Club, we watch Harold Ramis' "perennial favorite" sports comedy, Caddyshack. Is it as funny as every man we've ever talked to says it is? Is Chevy Chase handsome?
