January 19, 2020 15:19 - 52 minutes - 48.9 MBWelcome to the first ever Step & Repeat Roundtable, an exclusive episode featuring special guests Carly, Corinne, and Jenny all joining hosts Andrew and Matt. This week’s discussion: movies directed by women. The Academy once again nominated five guys in the Best Director lineup this year.

"Cats" (Episode 18)
December 25, 2019 18:00 - 54 minutes - 50.5 MBMerry Christmas to all! Our gift to you this year is nearly a full hour of shit-talking on CATS. But even still, if you're asking yourself the question, "Is CATS good?" then you're asking yourself the wrong question. CATS is in a league of its own. Matt and Andrew finally dedicate the whole episode to our dear litter of Jellicle cats in all their furry, existential, and oddly sexual glory. CATS is probably as terrible as you've heard, yet the strong public discourse with this one doesn't p...
"Bombshell" (Episode 17)
December 23, 2019 22:00 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBMatt and Andrew contradict themselves a lot in this episode decided to the Fox News sexual harassment dramedy BOMBSHELL. On one occasion, Matt says Nicole Kidman is the best actress in the movie and that she was also miscast. And Andrew declares "Gretchen should have been the main character" and then screams "Kayla should have been the main character" a good 10 minutes later. In our defense, BOMBSHELL is a tough nut to crack. There's no film really like it out there now (for better or for w...

Also, ever wonder what the hell cinematography means anyway? Find out in this early release episode! 1917 comes out in limited release on December...
