  • Batman Returns (with Danny Pellegrino)
    Dec 12 2022
    "Batman Returns” is the iconic 1992 superhero film where Horror Queers can go for Christmas content. In both aesthetic and legacy, the sexy silhouettes, childhood nightmare foder, and commercial success could only be the product of Tim Burton’s fantastic stylings. In this sequel, as Batman inevitably returns to battle the joint efforts of the monstrous Penguin (Danny DeVito) and businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) we see the resulting rise of Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer). Detailing Pfeiffer’s effortless prowess and iconic performance in the role, Matt is joined by the one and only, writer and podcaster, Danny Pellegrino, for the season finale of the HBO Max Movie Club. There is no better way to end season two on a high note than recounting Pfeiffer’s iconic villain performance, the film’s major marketing campaign, and ultimately the dark but memorable childhood staple for so many.  Watch on HBO Max: “Batman Returns” until December 31, 2022 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Gimme Barrymore (with D’Arcy Carden)
    Nov 14 2022
    The first in Drew Barrymore’s iconic pairings with Adam Sandler, “The Wedding Singer” is the perfect gentle yet sassy rom-com that could only be a product of the 90s. When Robbie, a wedding singer, meets Julia their friendship slowly reveals that they have both fallen for the wrong people. Gracing the pod today is actress, D’Arcy Carden, to gush over the film’s cutest moments on top of Drew’s life in the spotlight and her evolution as an actress and public figure. As a child star, Barrymore embodied Hollywood royalty for better or worse, but has since successfully solidified her legacy as a genuine and loveable star. “The Wedding Singer” is the cheesy will-they-won't-they that capitalizes on undeniable chemistry and underdog romance to rank as a fan favorite in Barrymore’s canon of Blockbuster hits.  Watch “The Wedding Singer” on HBO Max until December 31, 2022 and “Grey Gardens” on HBO via HBO Max.
