Episodes
YNFA 056: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, or Children Should Be Pralined and Not Stirred
March 29, 2024 21:24 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBSharpen your sweet tooth and buckle up for one wild boat ride as we gobble our way through 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and the 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (and some of us choke on the 2023 Wonka). Should anyone even try to match the genius of Gene Wilder? Why in the world would anyone leave their child alone with Johnny Depp’s terrifying Wonka. And how did it take us this long to play the classic F*ck, Marry, Kill? The only way to find out the answers is to e...
YNFA 055: Sister Act and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, or Guinan Thee to a Nunnery
February 29, 2024 17:08 - 59 minutes - 54 MBGet ready for a two-fer as we don our nun-drag and raise our voices for Whoopi Goldberg’s Sister Act and its sequel. Has a life of poverty, obedience and chastity ever looked so dang fun? Has Catholic guilty ever been so successfully played for laughs? Why is Kathy Najimy such a national treasure? And is Lauryn Hill’s voice the only redeeming part of the sequel? We’ll get back to you after we perfect our Motown choreography.
YNFA 054: Cry-Baby, or Campy Nowhere
January 31, 2024 23:27 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBWarm up the water in your tiny tin bathtub and pull out your pastel pedal pushers hat as we bebop into John Waters’s Cry-Baby. Did Waters achieve the ultimate level of Postmodern metatextual campiness by creating a pastiche of his own film style here? Can the power of a quality goth accessory really change hearts and minds? Is this perhaps the best Willem Dafoe cameo ever? And is Kim McGuire, aka "Hatchet-Face", basically the biggest badass who ever lived? We’ll let you know after this slopp...
YNFA 053: Flashdance, or Twerking Girl
December 28, 2023 15:29 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBWarm up that blowtorch and slip off your bra through your shirt sleeve as we splash into 1983’s Flashdance. Why were butts so flat in the 80s? Did Nair literally and figuratively scar a generation? Can we give Jennifer Beals forever props for championing the off-the-shoulder look? And we all know about that iconic scene, but why is the rest of this movie so very very wet? We’ll give you our answers in the form of this interpretive dance.
YNFA 052: School Ties, or Goy Will Hunting
December 15, 2023 04:25 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBDon't let the scholastic stress get to you, and prepare yourself for some ethnic slurs as we enroll in 1992’s School Ties. Is young Brendan Fraser an actual Classical sculpture come to life? Was anyone expecting this cultural drama to actually have a complete thrilling sports scene in the middle of it? And does that shower scene mean there is footage out there of Damon and Fraser dong? We sometimes have answers but waspy white dude will always be pricks.
YNFA 051: F•R•I•E•N•D•S, or the Bing Chill
November 22, 2023 05:20 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBMake sure you clap on cue and that Gunther gets your coffee order as we PIVOT into the 90s sitcom behemoth Friends. Is it worth wearing a potentially toxic Turkey mask for a bit on a purely audio format? (Always.) Did Joey get a bit too dumb, is Phoebe the best or the worst, and why does Ross suck so much? And how deep has this show rooted itself into our cultural memory? Ask us after we finish rewatching all 10 seasons of this classic.
YNFA 050: Donnie Darko, or The October Sky Is Falling
October 31, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 75.4 MBPut on your rattiest bunny suit and good luck avoiding that falling jet engine as we moodily sleepwalk into 2001’s Donnie Darko. Could this movie end friendships on this podcast? Is this a unique lucid dreamscape put on film, or just plain pretentious? Is Jake Gyllenhaal creepy or dreamy? And can we get a whole movie about Jolene Purdy’s Cherita instead? You might find some answers in the Director’s Cut of this super-sized episode.
YNFA 049: The Cabin in the Woods, or The Cliches Under the Stairs
October 10, 2023 17:01 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBBrush up on your horror movie tropes and make sure you stick close to the Final Girl as we sacrifice some stereotyped teenagers in 2011’s The Cabin in the Woods. Do you need an encyclopedic knowledge of horror movies to appreciate this movie? Or does the comedy carry everything along? Does the shadow of Joss Whedon loom too large, especially in the final scene? And why isn’t Fran Kranz in more TV and movies please? One thing we can tell you for sure, this movie definitely was cooler with the...
YNFA 048: My Big Fat Greek Wedding, or the Shop Around the Corfu
September 20, 2023 10:57 - 1 hour - 69.1 MBKnock back a couple shots of Ouzo and spritz some Windex on that skin ailment as we take a deep Mediterranean dip with Nia Vardalos’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Which is stronger, the Greek American cultural nostalgia emanating off this film, or the inescapable adoration for ultimate romcom lead John Corbett? Are most cultures actually based on guilt and food? And honestly, what is up with the Windex?
YNFA 047: Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, or the Blond Ambitionless Tour
August 23, 2023 15:44 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBOrder up a business ladies special lunch and practice your interpretive dance routine as we pass ourselves off as stationery heiresses in 1997’s Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. Does our appreciation of cringe grow with age? Who is the Mary among your BFFs? In what world are Lisa Kudrow or Mira Sorvino chubby? Is Janeane Garofalo the true legend of this movie? And why did they make Alan Cumming look like Sylvester Stallone? We'll let you know after we fold these scarves.
YNFA 046: The NeverEnding Story, or Luck Be A Dragon Tonight
July 20, 2023 14:48 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBSteal the most unwieldy leather-bound tome you can find from your mysterious neighborhood bookseller and hide in your school’s spooky attic as we fly off into a serious childhood touchstone, 1984’s The NeverEnding Story. Is the raw egg swilling dad in this a secret alcoholic? Do we all have deep deep horse girl feelings? Why does this movie swing between scaring the crap out of kids, and making them bawl in utter grief? And for all the great puppetry in this—hello Falkor, you amazing fantasy...
YNFA 045: Mean Girls, or The Importance of Being Fetch
June 29, 2023 17:15 - 1 hour - 70.7 MBOn Wednesdays we wear pink and today we infiltrate the Plastics in the 2004 teen classic Mean Girls. How many surprising new facts do we discover about the depth of Randall’s love for this movie? (Hint: it’s A LOT.) Can we just take a moment to recognize that everyone in this cast is bringing their A game? Does the feminist message of this movie stand up to contemporary values? We’ll let you know once we perfect this totally appropriate Jingle Bell Rock routine.
YNFA 044: Gone in 60 Seconds, or Bland Theft Auto
June 07, 2023 15:05 - 1 hour - 73 MBTwist up your white girl dreads (or just don’t, actually) and let’s ride with Nic Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds. How angry is Jerry Bruckheimer that the Fast and the Furious franchise stole his thunder? Does this movie immediately take you back to the Year 2000 (insert requisite Conan audio cue)? Was there just no room in the budget to give Angelina Jolie even like a hint of character development? And Plot? Who needs a plot? You’ll get some answers if you can keep up with our need for speed.
YNFA 043: Fatal Attraction, or Glenn Close Encounters of the Michael Douglas Kind
May 16, 2023 18:11 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBHide your bunnies and guard your kids from ghosted lovers as we delve deep into the psyche of the 1987 film Fatal Attraction. Who do we blame for Glenn Close’s horrendous hair style in that opening party scene? Did Anne Archer portray the perfect wife or a one-sided non-character? (Either way, she didn’t deserve to be done so dirty.) Would this movie have aged better if it had been released with its original ending? And perhaps most importantly, why were 80s audiences so invested in Michael ...
YNFA 042. The Happening, or Say Hi To Your Mother Nature For Me
April 20, 2023 16:58 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBLook out for those bloodthirsty trees and turn every sentence you speak into a question as we run incomprehensibly towards M. Knight Shyamalan’s The Happening. Who told Mark Wahlberg that acting smaht just meant raising the inflection of your voice up at the end of everything? Is Zooey Deschanel the only cinematic example of the Depressive Pixie Dream Girl? (And if so, thank god for that.) And can we all just agree no one ever wants travel hot dogs? Like Marky Mark, we’ve got more questions...
YNFA 041: American Pie, or Stifler’s Mom Has Got It Going On
March 29, 2023 16:56 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBClean off your flute and stop looking at that warm apple pastry like that as we dive… head first? (ugh, we hate ourselves)… into 1999’s American Pie. Should this movie be renamed American Why, cuz we really don’t get why it spawned so many sequels (you know, besides all that money they make). Is it ok to watch teen sex romps in your 40s? Can we watch the dry, smart, funny movie Natasha Lyonne and Jennifer Coolidge are performing in? Eugene Levy can join as the best movie dad ever. And can so...
YNFA 040. Young Guns, or the Styled Bunch
March 08, 2023 19:09 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBToss back that gorgeous mullet and shoot before you ask as we ride off into the sunset with the 1988 Brat Pack classic Young Guns. How many more enjoyable Westerns could we have watched instead of this? (Answer: all of them.) Is this movie the nail in the coffin for the Dermot Mulroney vs Dylan McDermott debate just because of how unarguably revolting "Dirty" Stephens is? Which is longer, the eventual heat death of the universe or this movie? Find out these answers and more life lessons unde...
YNFA 039: Warlock, or One Grimoire With Feeling
February 21, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 67.5 MBSalt your whips and bite your own tongues as we conger up some deep-rooted childhood issues and love of receding hairlines with 1989's Warlock! Did Julian Sands use his devil powers to coif the perfect hair? Was the aging makeup over-the-top bad or was that how the 1980s saw women over 40? And how long exactly is the amount of time to safely carry around a set of eyeballs? The answers to these questions and many more are most likely buried deep within the lining in Richard E. Grant's fur sui...
YNFA 038: Cruel Intentions, or The Kids Aren’t Alright
January 19, 2023 14:37 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBGrab your crucifix and have inappropriate feelings for your step-siblings as we become completely infatuated with 1999’s Cruel Intentions. Where did Sarah Michelle Gellar get her rich divorcee wardrobe and can we buy it now? Why are we supposed to root for serial abuser Ryan Phillippe when he doesn’t even redeem himself so much as just pause on being a total douchebag? Cuz it sure isn’t his non-existent chemistry with Reese Witherspoon! But can we get more Selma Blair forever and ever please...
YNFA 037: Love Actually, or Do They Know It’s Curtis?
December 22, 2022 03:50 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBLock up your daughters (especially if Colin Firth is moping around with some loose papers), and keep an eye on that randy PM, as we immerse ourselves in the Christmas overindulgence that is Richard Curtis’s Love Actually. Can we please stop calling totally normally proportioned Martine McCutcheon chubby? Did Mark, aka the Cue Card Guy, deserve the hate he got for his visual proclamation? And are the porn couple the only healthy relationship in this whole film? Or is it Bill Nighy’s aging roc...
YNFA 036: The Devil’s Advocate, or The Devil Went Ham in Greenwich
December 07, 2022 20:42 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBSit back and let Al Pacino in full ham force wash over you in 1997’s The Devil’s Advocate. How is Charlize Theron so good so early in her career (and despite that Southern accent)? Are the offensive parts of this movie that way because it’s about the literal devil, or because the 90s just sucked that much? Why is this movie trying to be deeper than it can ever actually achieve? And is Randall recording this episode directly from the circle of hell where this movie is playing on repeat? We'll...
YNFA 035: Addams Family Values, or Family Ties Me Up, Ties Me Down
November 22, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBIt’s time to turn the Thanksgiving tables on the colonizers, practice your tango, and think about Debbie’s needs as we get all together ooky with Barry Sonnenfeld’s Addams Family Values (1993). Should we give the incomparable Joan Cusack most of the credit for making this sequel better than the original? Or does it go to the incredibly precocious Christina Ricci, who might be the best child star of her generation? Are Angelica Huston and Raul Julia the ultimate relationship goals on-screen c...
YNFA 034: The Witches of Eastwick, or Three Women and a Man Baby
November 11, 2022 16:30 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBReach for your 80s hair goals and get that voodoo doll ready as we embrace our dream of joining an all-powerful coven in The Witches of Eastwick (1987, yet again). Who had more fun playing the devil, Jack Nicholson or Al Pacino? (And yes, we will cover The Devil’s Advocate soon, don’t you worry.) Is this film feminist or not? Should Helen let go of her grudge against Susan Sarandon, after nearly being run down by her on a scooter? Does Veronica Cartwright deserve an Oscar for her incredibly ...
YNFA 033: The Lost Boys, or Beach Blanket Blood Flow
October 28, 2022 15:18 - 1 hour - 72.9 MBFluff up your hair, grease up your closest saxophone player and run away with Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys (1987). How do you tell someone you’re 40 without saying you’re 40? Is this the horniest vampire movie ever made? And if so, why did they cast such a baby-faced Corey Haim? And why is Corey Feldman doing a Rambo voice? We’d tell you if we weren’t succumbing to peer pressure to become a creature of the night.
YNFA 032: Interview with the Vampire, or Blah-listic: Hunt vs Durden
October 13, 2022 17:11 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBSharpen your fangs and get horny cuz it’s time to sink our teeth into 1994’s Interview with the Vampire. Is the blood-drinking SFX in this film a little too “juicy”. Would it have been better if it just embraced its gay side? (Obviously yes.) Does its over-the-top cheesy goth angst make it that much more enjoyable? (We’re split on that.) And is Kirsten Dunst carrying this movie on her tiny little shoulders? We’ll get back to you after we seductively pass our hands through this candle flame.
YNFA 031: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or The Lost Girls of Sunnydale
September 29, 2022 19:04 - 1 hour - 81.2 MBYNFA is kicking off a month of our favorite pop culture vampires! We're down a few podcast hosts for this one, but up a lot of fan-girling with a very special episode about the GOAT of vampire television show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Randall, Bryce and Dayna take a long trip down the hellmouth to revisit some of their favorite episodes from both the WB and CW years, and ask some important questions along the way. Is the Xander factor just too much for a show to overcome in 2022? Why was Al...
YNFA 030: An American Tail, or I’ll Have A Junior Exodus With Cheese
September 15, 2022 02:46 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBThere are no cats in America! Except for like a dozen who can be easily pushed off a pier. But there are definitely no dogs! At least that’s what we know from Don Bluth’s An American Tail. Is this the biggest bummer of a kids’ movie ever made? Does anyone remember any details about it beyond crying over Somewhere Out There? How in the world does Fievel survive so many near-death experiences? And can you freaking believe they got Christopher Plummer to play a French pigeon?? One thing we do k...
YNFA 029: Romeo + Juliet, or Mercutio and Tybalt Are Dead… Sexy
August 30, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBHappy Birthday to us! To celebrate, get strapped and iamb your pentameter as we revel in Baz Luhrmann’s deliciously over-the-top Romeo + Juliet (1996), one of the first episodes we ever recorded—and producer Randall’s personal white whale. Did this soundtrack ever leave your Discman? Are we the biggest Shakespeare dorks who ever lived? Is Harold Perrineau’s Mercutio pure sex in platform heels? (No question he carries this film.) Or is John Leguizamo’s Tybalt the true snack? Don’t get us wron...
YNFA 028: Troop Beverly HIlls, or Phyllis From Dior to Evian
August 15, 2022 19:11 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBBeverly Hills, what a thrill! Take a trip back to the golden days of childhood when you were forced to interact with nature and coveted a sash with badges celebrating achievements like "Science" and "Friendship" and "Describing Fashion to Blind People". Was Shelly Long a secret fashion icon? Was Jenny Lewis THE unsung child star of the '90s? Does anyone today remember half of the people with cameos in this movie? And was anyone really clamouring to see Craig T. Nelson shirtless? Get ready to...
YNFA 027: Reality Bites, or Lainey and Troy’s Gen-X-cellent Adventure
July 28, 2022 03:41 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBGrunge up your unwashed hair and please put out that endless chain of cigarettes as we succumb to the 90s slacker vortex that is Reality Bites. Do Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke’s characters actually deserve each other because they both suck so much? And should we feel bad for Ben Stiller or relieved that he totally dodged a bullet there? Could we just watch Steve Zahn be adorable and Janeane Garofalo in her perfect vintage outfits instead? And can we directly blame all the shitty behavior and...
YNFA 026: Raiders of the Lost Ark, or I’m Face Meltingly Hot for Teacher
July 14, 2022 03:11 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBSlap on that fedora and crack your whip, cuz it’s time we MEET STEVEN SPIELBERG—OK MAYBE WE JUST SAW HIM LIVE ON STAGE—WITH LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA—BUT HE SAID HE LOVED US at a special theatrical screening Raiders of the Lost Ark at the United Palace in Washington Heights. Is Bryce a true romantic for going to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in the theater multiple times with Randall? How did Dayna manage not to watch this movie until her 20s—and not see Temple of Doom as o...
YNFA 025: Some Like It Hot, or To Will Hayes, Thanks for Everything! Billy Wilder
July 01, 2022 00:02 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBTime to hide from those random mobsters and don a to-die-for statement coat as we tango the night away with Billy Wilder's classic drag comedy Some Like It Hot. What do you call it when you look back on a nostalgia piece nostalgically? Nostalgia squared? Dostalgia? Why is there a gangster film crammed on top of this buddy flick? Is Tony Curtis pouting during this whole movie or are his lips just that luscious? Were Marilyn Monroe's costumes held on purely by a wing and a prayer? And is this ...
YNFA 024: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, or 2001: A Drag Odyssey
June 15, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBBrush out your favorite feathered wig and practice your German deadpan as we search for the Origin of Love in John Cameron Mitchell’s dragstravaganza Hedwig and the Angry Inch. How did this movie so perfectly capture how shitty it is to be a touring performer with no following? Is Andrea Martin’s Phyllis Stein the ultimate ride or die b*tch. Is Miriam Shor’s Yitzhak ultimately shortchanged? And if you ever meet someone who doesn’t appreciate this soundtrack, how quickly should you run in the...
YNFA 023: So I Married an Axe Murderer, or Invasion of the Bonny Slasher
June 01, 2022 22:46 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBSnap those fingers and blow out that candle, man, as we immerse ourselves in Mike Myers’s personal mythology in Tommy Schlamme’s So I Married an Axe Murderer. Is this movie basically a Rosetta Stone for all of Myers’s future films? How does a beat poet afford an incredible apartment in San Francisco—unless he’s actually the one who is a black widow killer? Are the comedy cameos in this, from Charles Brolin to Steven Wright, the best of all time? Or do the incessant “bits” that it spawned rui...
YNFA 022: Earth Girls Are Easy, or Extraterrestrials Prefer Blondes
May 18, 2022 00:29 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBPrepare to crash land in a backyard pool and shave off all your candy-colored fur so we can have a Close Encounter of the Sex Romp kind with 1988's Earth Girls Are Easy. Why would Geena Davis ever pick Charles Rocket's Dr Love over actual Adonis Jeff Goldblum? Did you know Damon Wayans could tear up a dance floor? And why did Jim Carrey not spend his career being a hot blond guy? Was this movie just a feature-length vehicle for Julie Brown's excellent Cuz I'm A Blond music video? (We're ok w...
YNFA 021: Mannequin, or Gee, True Hollywood Story
May 04, 2022 02:25 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBCollect your various plastic lady parts and prepare to literally turn women into objects as we cringe all over Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall’s disappointing relationship in 1987’s Mannequin. Why did Roxie get shafted so badly by this movie? Who do we need to punish for the horrible violation that is James Spader’s hair? Can we just spend our days drinking cocktails with Estelle Getty and spilling tea with Meshach Taylor? And did Alex just reveal that she’s a serial killer? There are no an...
YNFA 020: Miss Congeniality, or Undercover Cover Girl
April 20, 2022 16:32 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBBrace yourself for a federally funded makeover and describe your idea of a perfect date as we strive for world peace with Sandra Bullock in 2000’s Miss Congeniality. Does this movie comment on the objectification of women and dismissive stereotypes, or just straight up continue them? How can Benjamin Bratt be so good looking and yet such a jerk? (Actually, nevermind, that one answers itself.) And how do those donuts survive being smuggled in such… intimate places? Ask us again after we learn...
YNFA 019: Sleepless in Seattle, or Things To Do In Seattle When Your Wife Is Dead
April 05, 2022 14:21 - 1 hour - 69.1 MBTurn your radio dial to needy and rack up those frequent flyer miles as we fend off seasonal affective disorder in Nora Ephron’s Sleepless in Seattle. Why were we taught that Walter was not good enough, when he doesn’t seem to be the problem here? How did we miss that Meg Ryan was a legit stalker in this? What’s better, mom core or mom porn? Should we just watch An Affair To Remember? And how does nobody know what tiramisu is?? Our flight got delayed somewhere over Cleveland so we’ve got no ...
YNFA 018: Three Men and a Baby, or The Gute, The Stache, His Bartender and Her Vulcan
March 22, 2022 13:55 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBWarm up that formula and practice your diapering skills as we doo-wop our way into Leonard Nimoy’s (YUP) surprise blockbuster Three Men and a Baby. Did every 80s comedy have to involve drug dealers in some bizarre way? With the release of this movie, My Two Dads, and Full House, was 1987 the year of the Daddy fetish? How little plot do you need to hold together a movie that is otherwise nothing but fun montages? And how many rooms does this Manhattan apartment-share have?? We might be able t...
YNFA 017: Dirty Dancing, or A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Catskills
March 08, 2022 17:42 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBGrab your cutest jean cut-offs and practice your cha-cha as we embrace the world-opening summer fling that is 1987’s Dirty Dancing. If you do not sing along to this movie, are you a psychopath? Is Patrick Swayze too perfect in all his wounded vulnerability? Is Jennifer Grey actually taking advantage of him? At what point in life do you completely sympathize with World’s Best Dad Jerry Orbach? Should this movie be played on repeat until everyone learns the importance of ready access to reprod...
YNFA 016: Con Air, or The Bruckheimer Redemption
February 22, 2022 15:51 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBPull on your sweatiest tank top and let the wind lift your long prison locks as we take off on Con Air. Is the length of Nicolas Cage’s sideburns an accurate barometer for his character’s craziness in a given film? Did John Cusack borrow his suit from David Byrne for this? Is Helen alone in finding Steve Buscemi supremely attractive? Why didn’t Trisha Yearwood’s How Do I Live come on every time John Malkovich and Nic Cage were on screen together? And who leaves their kid in an abandoned plan...
YNFA 015: The Three Musketeers, or A Confederacy of Dumases
February 08, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBFluff out your hair extensions and swash your buckles as we ride off with Disney’s 1993 schlocktacular The Three Musketeers. Which is more historically inaccurate, this movie or your average Renaissance Faire? Who buttered your biscuit more, Keifer Sutherland or Chris O’Donnell? Is the only good thing to come out of this Tim Curry's cape twirling and another killer rock ballad by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting? And can the next remake please just star all the great Hollywood Chrises, ak...
YNFA 014: The Golden Girls, or Grumpy Old Friends of Dorothy
January 25, 2022 15:47 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBPut on your glamest resort wear, pull up a wicker chair and dig into this cheesecake as we travel down the road and back again with The Golden Girls. Is any gushing tribute enough to honor the incredible Betty White? Will Dayna be in charge of preserving this lore in the apocalypse? Why did the live-in gay house-boy in the pilot get written out of this show? Do sitcoms set the tone for our real-life friendships? And can you listen to this theme song without singing along? We just want you to...
YNFA 013: Scream, or There’s Always Room for Giallo
January 11, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBPick up that random phone call and make sure you know your horror movie tropes as we take a stab at Wes Craven’s Scream. Why doesn’t Drew Barrymore get more credit for her late 90s cinematic acumen? Are Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard totally boning in this film, or ensnared in a dom-sub bro-down? Were high school friendships really this toxic? (Yuuuup.) Why is Liev Schreiber tossed in such a throw-away scene? And do you want us to post our awkward school photos? All we know is that the met...
YNFA 012: The Chipmunk Adventure, or It’s A Shrill World Afterall
December 28, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBPitch your voice up a few octaves and brace yourself for some unbelievably racist stereotypes as we race off with the bizarrely sexual children's film The Chipmunk Adventure. Would this movie have made any more sense if we’d been able to watch it as a cohesive whole rather than through YouTube scraps? Who decided turning the Chipmunks into money laundering mules would make a good plot for a kid’s movie? Are Klaus and Claudia siblings or… something more? And, most disturbingly, why must there...
YNFA 011: The Matrix, or Plato’s Tunnel of Love
December 14, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBDon your shiniest pleather trench coat and rimless sunglasses as we plug into the Wachowskis’ cyber-punk behemoth The Matrix. Did the inane sequels and toxic fanboy co-opting forever taint the often enjoyable original? Why wasn’t the totally badass Carrie-Anne Moss the protagonist of this film? And was Joey Pants right to want to swallow that blue pill with a smile on his face? All we know is that we get fittingly philosophical in this episode. Read Randall’s full episode notes at youreno...
YNFA 010: Pretty in Pink, or the Fantabulous Failed Emancipation of One Andie Walsh
November 30, 2021 05:00 - 56 minutes - 52.1 MBGet ready for some disappointment in our younger selves, as we turn our attention to the bevvy of jerky dudes and unrealistic romance in John Hughes’s Pretty in Pink. Who are your top f**k, marry, kill James Spader characters? Why mar Annie Potts’s otherwise perfect Iona by making her fall for a bland 80s yuppie? What kind of fashion designer destroys two decent prom dresses to make a fancy potato sack? And why did we ever feel bad for Duckie? This is the episode where the die-hard romantics...
YNFA 009: My Cousin Vinny, or Hey, I’m Litigating Over Here!
November 23, 2021 14:48 - 1 hour - 64 MBTease up your hair and keep an eye on your biological clock, as we fall in love with one of the greatest on-screen couplings (except when anything sexy is going on): Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny.
