Wistful Thinking

Jordan and Cara kick off their Matthew Lillard month wondering if he is the best actor of his generation, and talk about the brilliance of Scream and its legacy in the late 90s/early 00s horror boom.

Jordan and Cara continue Mike Myers month with the 1997 movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. To quote Cara: boy oh boy... yikes.

Cara snacks solo on some shame foods in this short and sweet (or should we say salty?) episode of What Am I Chewing?

Welcome to What Am I Chewing?, a very self-explanatory off-air game that Jordan and Cara like to play, now recorded for your listening pleasure.

Folks with misophonia beware: we are as unoffensive with our chewing as possible, but there are some mouth noises.

This week, Cara and Jordan dive into Halloween season with the early 90s classic Hocus Pocus and learn that it probably shouldn't be considered a classic. They discuss the movie's weird obsession with virginity, its problematic witches, and then take a long detour into current events.
