Hey y'all.

Welcome back to Flicks Before Dicks from a short hiatus while I lost my mind over...guess what? ANOTHER MF! Anyways, this episode is all about another one of Kennedy's favorite films, 13 Going on 30, where we are all down bad over Mark Ruffalo and some middle school cringe moments like Kennedy describing how to stuff a bra and Alex breaking down 7 Minutes in Heaven. 

We also dish on how rom-coms, including this one, are always doing its leads dirty by just having them end up with a man and NOTHING ELSE, and the power of shooting your shot!

Welcome one and all back to the Flicks Before Dicks podcast. Athena's back to talk about the hit classic, 50 First Dates and while problematic touches on some of the various ways we hold and wish our partners to be. We dish on the current coronavirus pandemic and dating while the world burns and how we stan Chicago's only, Lori Lightfoot.

Kennedy and long-time friend, Tall Gay Alex, discuss the 2015 hit flick, Sleeping with Other People, and talk about the nuances of the dating world in the gay and straight dating world and moreover, they come to the hot conclusion that men ain't shit in either vicinities. 

So, this is a random episode. We don't watch a movie. We don't talk about romance, but we do talk about our love for one another. 

Maybe one day this podcast will get back on track? Maybe it won't, but be along for the ride guys.

An introduction to the madness that is The Flicks Before Dicks Podcast, starring Kennedy and Athena. Here, we sit down and break down what all this is about and moreover, why we've decided to do what we do and all the flicks we've loved in the past that motivate us in ways they shouldn't.
