Just My Thoughts on It a Film Podcast

Hey, listeners! We're finally back with another installment of our Star Wars Retrospective series where we re-watch, discuss our favorite (and not so favorite) Star Wars films and finally settle on our personal tier list. In this episode, Margaret and Peter, of Payday Pokémon, discuss Disney's Star Wars anthology films, Solo & Rogue One. Where does each film rank on their tier list? Is Solo bad or just the victim of poor timing? Is there more to Rogue One than pure nostalgia? Give us a listen and find out our thoughts!

TW: sexual abuse, incest, murder, drug use

Happy Twin Peaks Day! To celebrate, we've recorded a very special Laura Palmer episode. We discuss how Twin Peaks changed television and the lasting impact of Laura. Special Thanks to Courtenay Stallings, author of Laura's Ghost: Women Speak About Twin Peaks for sharing an excerpt from the novel as well as members of the Twin Peaks fan community who sent in their thoughts for us to share. Join us as we explore how, on February 24th, 1989, Laura Palmer was found dead and how, 25 years later, she was brought back to life.

TW: rape, abuse, grooming.

 Welcome listeners! In this episode we're going to be discussing Hannah Fidell's A Teacher for FX on Hulu.

Welcome, welcome!

The conclusion of our Hunger Games series is finally here!

This movie covers LOTS of ground so we have plenty to talk about. Including, but not limited to: their incredibly smart utilization of CGI, production facts from director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson, and of course the bitter end of Katniss's journey in the arena. 

What were the changes like this time around? Did Jena Malone shave her head as Johanna? Did Finnick really have to die? We'll answer all of that and more. 

So, join us down in the tunnels under Panem as we discuss the heartbreaking yet hopeful final film installment of Suzanne Collins' beautiful trilogy.  

Welcome, welcome!

We're so excited to dive into the next film in The Hunger Games series: Catching Fire!

Listen as we roast Katniss for being too thick headed, gush about Everlark (Yes, that's Katniss and Peeta's ship name, what of it?) and praise Francis Lawrence for making such a GORG movie. 

Join us as we go back into the arena for the 75th quarter quell. 

And may the odds be ever in your favor!

Welcome! Welcome! (yes, you were supposed to hear that in Effie Trinket's voice.)

We are so excited to finally release the first episode of our Hunger Games series! It's a book/movie series that holds a special place in our heart. 

In this first installment, we'll be exploring what makes a good book to movie adaptation, how the story reflects our current political climate, and, most importantly, Seneca Crane's beard.  

So, settle in and relive the 74th hunger games with us. And, of course, may the odds be ever in your favor.

Happy Holidays! Christmas may be over but that doesn't mean we have to stop talking about Christmas movies!

We're going to be discussing all of the Black Christmas movies from 1974, 2006, and 2019.

TW: death, murder, sex

Buckle up, friends! In this episode, Margaret dives into Jane Campion's 2003 thriller In the Cut starring Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo (based off Susanna Moore's book of the same name) and explains why everything you think you know about that movie is complete garbage.

Welcome back, friends! Due to COVID-19 related chaos we took an unexpected little break. But, we're back! And (hopefully) better than ever.  As we're all aware, Margaret is a Star Wars nut and has been steadily simmering on her opinion for the past six months. Here is her love letter to Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi.
