• FFR 273: The Wedding Banquet (2025) 02.04.2026 49min

  A.C. and Kat experienced Andrew Ahn's remake of The Wedding Banquet across somewhat of a generational divide. Is it millennial aesthetic queerness with inauthentic politics, sweet & satisfying wish-fulfillment for Gen Xers, or something else entirely?
• FFR 272: Crooklyn 25.03.2026 49min

  It was an absolute joy to spend time in the world of Spike Lee's 1994 bildungsroman CROOKLYN. Co-written by Lee and his siblings Joie and Cinqué, the film follows nine-year-old Troy navigating herself, her neighborhood, and her extended family in 1973.

• FFR 270: Real Women Have Curves 03.03.2026 46min

• FFR Bonus: Emilia Pérez 28.10.2025 9min

• FFR 267: THE WIZ 08.10.2025 43min

  Watching the 1968 film adaptation of the Broadway musical THE WIZ, we can't help but feel that director Sidney Lumet and screenwriter Joel Schumacher deeply underserved their stars, craftspeople, and source material.
• FFR 266: FUNNY GIRL 30.09.2025 50min

  We couldn't do a whole season about movie musicals without watching a Barbra vehicle, and we found a lot of nuance in FUNNY GIRL's exploration of labor and gender dynamics.

• FFR 264: ALL THAT JAZZ 10.09.2025 45min

  Is this the first "perfect" movie we've covered on this podcast? This was Kat's first time watching Bob Fosse's 1979 self-referential musical drama All That Jazz, one of A.C.'s absolute favorites.
• FFR 263: GUYS AND DOLLS 02.09.2025 45min

  For the first full episode of our new "Musical Mayhem" season, we watched GUYS AND DOLLS. The gender dynamics in this movie feel like they'd be right at home in today's "trad wife" resurgence...
