    What's that? A new episode (and new SEASON) of LMIY in your podcast feeds? Believe it! After an extended hiatus, the gang is back to catch up on what has happened over the past 9 months, both in life and what media we've enjoyed.

    S3E15 - Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?
    May 13 2022
    It's our SEASON FINALE EPISODE...and we're bringing you, our dear listeners, two very special offerings -- 1) a 1996 film that NONE of us had ever seen, starring our podcast's patron saint, Ms. Tori Spelling, and 2) The Second Annual LMIY Awards! So please join us for this made for TV movie that really is just the epitome of fun trash. Tori Spelling plays the titular character Laurel -- a senior in college, star of her track team, a real whiz in the classroom -- as she falls in love with sexy stranger Kevin. But when Kevin's revealed to be the killer from the opening salvo of this "film", our dear Tori is in for a wild ride of relationship abuse, stalking, and all sorts of dangerous insanity. How many people are killed in this movie? What does this film and Friday the 13th have in common? WILL TORI SLEEP WITH DANGER? You'll just have to listen and find out! Then, we host our second annual LMIY Awards, going through our entire 15-episodes of season 3 to choose Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Picture, and, of course, bestow our honorary Tori Spelling Award for the year. There are definitely some surprises and upsets in this awards season, not the least of all when Graham insists on granting himself an award as well :) (all the podcasters got awards, don't worry). So make sure you have AAA and get ready to run REALLY awkwardly for this RIDICULOUS movie!

    S3E14 - Grease 2
    Apr 28 2022
    How do you follow up one of the most successful musicals in modern memory? How about you cast relative unknowns in lead roles and get them started with a 1/2 finished script that makes ZERO sense, and only just barely connects to its source material? YES, THIS MOVIE IS GOD AWFUL...but it has earned its cult status over the past almost forty years...so join us as Ashley introduces Katie to a beloved childhood favorite, and the final entry in our SEQUEL SENSATION theme -- 1982's Grease 2. Starring Michelle Pfeiffer in her first leading role, this film picks up two years after Olivia Newton John and John Travolta hand jived their way through Rydell High -- focusing on our NEW CLASS of Pink Ladies and T-Birds. Michelle plays Stephanie, the leader of the Pink Ladies who is just so OVER dating T-Birds and is looking for a new man...a "cool rider". Enter new kid in town, Michael Carrington (played by Maxwell Caulfield, aka REX MANNING) -- Australian Sandy's cousin from the original film, although he is inexplicably British. He sets his sights on winning Stephanie's heart by learning everything there is to learn about motorcyclin' - and takes on a secret persona as said "cool rider". This film then gets nuts with wacky songs (hello, even if you hate this film, the song "Reproduction" is a must) insane dance numbers, and an almost 2 hour runtime. We also discuss how this film affected Ashley's entire fashion aesthetic all throughout her life, the gang's favorite musicals, a new mini-Let Me Introduce You, and a preview of our SEASON FINALE in 2 weeks. So put on your motorcycle hat and enjoy one of our more divisive episodes - 'cuz come on, we've got a rep to protect!

    S3E13 - Beneath the Planet of the Apes
    Apr 14 2022
    In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe, lies a medium-sized start, and one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now dead. We, your dear podcasters, are delighted to swerve HARD from last episode's heartwarming story with a film about political ruin, dystopian society, nuclear fear, religious zealotry...and sexy shirtless men with an obvious Katie pick for our SEQUEL SENSATION theme -- 1970's Beneath the Planet of the Apes! An army of civilized apes...a fortress of radiation-crazed super humans...Earth's final battle is about to begin--beneath the atomic rubble of what was once the city of New York. So listen in as we subjugate Ashley and Graham to his over 50 year film (they both paid attention-ish) and talk about how this sequel got made into one of the world's most well-known franchises (when franchises were barely a thing) -- despite a near bankruptcy and literally everything going wrong from the start. We also chat about New Wave Science fiction, this film's SUB-PAR make up effects, the absolute sexiness of lead actor James Franciscus (aka the Caffeine-free, diet Coke version of Charlton Heston) and how you follow up the intensely mind-blowing ending of the first film (and then, how do you make a third movie?!). We also have TWO mini-Let Me Introduce Yous and discuss what intelligent animals we would want ruling the planet in the future. Join us as we reveal our innermost selves to you!

    S3E12 - Paddington 2
    Mar 31 2022
    Hey, there. The world has been a lot lately. But if we're kind and polite, the world will be right. So why don't you make a cuppa, grab yourself a marmalade sandwich, and join us not only for an unBEARably delightful film, but the launch of our new theme -- SEQUEL SENSATIONS! Graham has been singing the virtues of this film for at least five episodes now, so it's finally time for him to introduce Katie and Ashley to the charmingly disarming Paddington 2. Starring a venerable who's who of Brittan's finest actors, including Hugh Grant (who you obv know), Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter's Dolores Umbridge), Julie Walters (Harry Potter's Mrs. Weasley), Ben Whishaw (James Bond's Q), Jim Broadbent< Jessica Hynes, Brendan Gleason AND SO MANY MORE...this is truly a children's film filled with joy, prestige, beauty and challenge. Not often do all 3 of your podcasters agree on a film, but all three completely fell in love with every aspect of this treasure. We also discuss children's films in today's society, other sequels who surpased their originals in popularity, and a special Mini Let Me Introduce You from this week's host (who we must say has never had any complaints about his Mr and Mrs Botty-Cheek).

  • S3E11 - Labyrinth (with Kyle McDaniel)

    S3E11 - Labyrinth (with Kyle McDaniel)
    Mar 11 2022
    We're ending our EXCUSE ME, WHAT?! Series of films we JUST CAN'T FRIGGING BELIEVE the others haven't seen with a big one...a GIANT WHIFFED MISS in Katie's film education, 1986's Labyrinth. This film is a seminal work in the canon of Jim Henson, and showcases some of the amazing things that puppetry can do on film...from something as tiny as a wee little worm who offers you tea with the missus, to a swamp filled with buttholes, or even a collection of weird bird fire things who switch arms and legs and heads (while singing). And who better to introduce us to this film (other than Graham, well-known Henson lover) but our special guest -- actor, story animator, former Pixar employee and theater kid to the bone (and obv. friend of the pod) Mr. Kyle McDaniel! Kyle lures your favorite podcasters in with tales of the Goblin King aka David Bowie, reading hidden clues around set design and dress, the beauty of Jennifer Connelly, and why his favorite character in all of this fantasy madness is Hoggle. In a film that bases its story on how much something means to you once its gone, we willingly get lost in the joyful maze that is Labyrinth. So join us in the oubliette (we haven't been able to get out) and get ready for DANCE MAGIC, DANCE!
