I played Catherine back when it came out and the mechanics were really fun but yeah... that story is not good. The trans stuff sucks, the main character sucks, just nothing I enjoyed narratively there.

I feel like the bar for "shitty" in the trans community is starting to border on the ridiculous here. I don't think it's shitty for a character to act shocked at the revelation that a person they thought was female, in fact has a penis under their skirt. I think most people would be suprised, it's a normal reaction to anything you didn't think was the reality of something. My line is when they call it bad or wrong or whatever. Normal reactions of surprise, or something of that nature, are not what i would describe as shitty. I feel like this is the type of mentality that gets created when everyone around you codles you and tells you it's okay. Like yes, positivity is great, but eventually it makes you hyper sensitive to anything you percieve as not high positivity. Like the description of the catherine game here. It's not even anything bad, just a character acting shocked, and the description you give is that it's shitty. I think it's a mountain being made of a mole hill situation.

lets be clear, de-transtioners are valid as trans people, sometime, very rarely it happens.

"Oh fuck, Enid Blyton. PROBABLY BAD." Jim's statements about questionable celebrities reflect on my own feelings about them so accurately, it's quite frightening... x3

Man people in this comment section need to ease up a lil'

It’s our biggest episode EVER as Alex Ross Perry brings his own dossier of talking points to tackle 1978’s iconic HALLOWEEN. We explore the history of American independent cinema as seen through the lens of the low-budget horror genre, and determine who’d be included in the slasher villain Mount Rushmore (Chucky isn’t carved into the rock; he’d be working at the gift shop).

Top Secret (1984)

He dominated the field in this year’s 20th Century March Madness competition, and now we’re celebrating with a parade and a big brass band…it’s time for our series on the films of Stanley Kubrick - Pods Wide Cast! Join us as we fill in the background strokes of Kubrick’s early career - his childhood in the Bronx, his photography apprenticeship with Look Magazine - and as we discuss his first two features - 1953’s FEAR AND DESIRE and 1955’s KILLER’S KISS. Some burning questions we end up asking: how much of later Kubrick is already present in these pretty amateurish works? How do these rank in the patheon of debut films by great directors? Is there a code of ethics for cab drivers when you jump into the backseat and request that they “follow that car?” Why has Ben been buying mannequins off eBay? And more!

NASA-quality lenses, a himbo canon-worthy performance from notoriously “chill and normal guy” Ryan O’Neal, and some flirty ribbon games all combine to make what we consider to be Kubrick’s warmest and most sumptuous film - 1975’s “Barry Lyndon.” Karina Longworth of “You Must Remember This” makes a long-awaited first appearance on the pod to wonder - did Barry actually end up sleeping with his cousin? What are the rules of dueling? Should children be allowed to ride horses? And more!

Barry Lyndon With Karina Longworth

Fast zombies, a deserted London, and potato-quality digital cinematography - 28 DAYS LATER proved to be a genre-defining hit for Danny Boyle after the disappointment of THE BEACH. Humorist and Blankie favorite David Rees returns to the podcast to take us back to the immediate post-9/11 period, a mood and time which this film conjures instantly. Join us for a deep dive into the zombie canon, a tangent on the famed “Young British Artists” of the 1990s, a primer on Canadian anti-capitalist band Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and a moment of disbelief when Rees discovers that Brendan Gleeson played Donald Trump in Showtime’s THE COMEY RULE.
