  • Casablanca (w/ Harvey Kaye)

    Casablanca (w/ Harvey Kaye)
    Jan 9 2026

    Rivka and Frank are joined by returning guest and pod favorite, award-winning author and professor Harvey Kaye, to discuss the all-time classic Casablanca. The trio dig into why the film truly deserves its legendary status, its striking relevance to today’s political climate amid the rise of fascism in America, and the quietly radical politics behind the filmmaking itself.

    For next week’s movie—snap out of it!—we’ll be watching Moonstruck.

  • The Santa Clause [PATREON PREVIEW]

    The Santa Clause [PATREON PREVIEW]
    Dec 20 2025

    ust in time for Christmas, Frank and Rivka are back with their second holiday duet—this time breaking down The Santa Clause. The duo dive into the politics of this absolutely unhinged ’90s classic, from the divorced-dad trope to Scott Calvin being a full-on pos, the film’s fatphobic messaging, and Santa as the ultimate capitalist overlord.

  • How the Grinch Stole Christmas

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas
    Dec 13 2025

    In time for the holidays, Rivka and Frank cover the 2000 Jim Carrey adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The duo dig into whether this Dr. Seuss classic is truly an anti-consumerist tale—or if it ultimately misses the mark. They also unpack Whoville as a surprisingly prophetic preview of our current plastic-surgery obsession and the class aesthetics baked into its cheerfully creepy smiles.

    For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching another Christmas classic, Tim Allen’s 1994 The Santa Clause.
