Strange Bedfellows

Emergency transmission from the near future! Please respond by Lakehousing me a letter if you get this. It's me, Lakelyn – or McKayla, depending on when you knew me. Look, names got complicated after the collapse, alright? Anyways, I've hijacked this podcast feed (sorry, not sorry) to send you all a desperate message from 30-40 years from now: DO NOT LET TANNER GREENRING GET HIS HANDS ON ANY KIND OF STOCK REPORT OR SPORTS ALMANAC. Oh and has anyone seen my time bubble? I can’t remember when I left it. Music credits:“Typewriter Blues,” by AllenGrey Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme music!

Don't worry – the producers sat down with Tanner before the recording of this episode and had a constructive talk with him about how much people love the movie and how important it is to be sensitive and thoughtful about the sad parts in it. It took us a few takes to get this absolutely perfect, but we think everyone will be very happy with the final product.

“Hilda Doolittle” – Jack Shepherd, Strange Bedfellows The Summer of Sandra has gone extraterrestrial with 2013’s “Gravity,” or as we like to call it, “Speed 3: Speed 2 in Space” (”Speed 2” being “Speed” in a boat, and “Speed” being “Die Hard” on a bus.) We wanted to see how hard it could actually be to survive a “Gravity,” so we decided to do one on Tanner this week.

Hugh Grant's Vernal Dance comes to a scintillating conclusion thanks to the incredible musical talents of guest Jared Sosa and the once-in-a-generation lyrical genius of your boys, Jack and Tanner. Did we fall in love while creating this soon-to-be-smash-hit single for you? Did we reveal breathtaking new information about the secret lives of two deeply beloved, fan-favorite characters? Should you, too, watch the mostly forgotten 2007 Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore vehicle, "Music and Lyrics"? Yes, yes, and hell yes.

We dodged a real bullet this week (well, not Tanner—he was killed by his Looper closing the loop) when we DIDN’T watch 1995’s “Nine Months” and instead watched 2002’s “Two Week Notice” during the continuing frenzied mania that is Hugh Grant’s Vernal Dance (#HGVD). But that’s not our ONLY viral cause this week, because our intrepid young investigators—Tyson Lamborghini and Stryker Marshall—have blown the lid right off the insidious conspiracy to withhold famous actor and personal friend of the show Mark Feuerstein from appearing in this film. #ReleaseTheFeuersteinCut --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Hailed as the “Superman: Dawn of Justice” of its day, our film this week was the first to unite three separate cinematic universes in one story-telling masterpiece. Never before, and to the day of this being written never again since, has a film DARED to invite the “City of Angels” AND the “Little Nicky” narrative universes into its OWN overarching cinematic superuniverse. Really incredible stuff. The film, of course, is 1999’s “Notting Hill.” Part of our “Hugh Grant’s Vernal Dance” celebration.

We're taking another week off this week, as some of us attempt to herd some cats onto an airplane, so please enjoy one of our very favorite Baby-Sitters Club Club episodes from the past few years this week, and we'll be back next week! In this special one-off episode, Dan Brown scholars and archivists Jack Shepherd and Tanner Greenring collaborate to painstakingly recreate the first chapter "The Da Vinci Code" for posterity. This astonishing oral history will be part of the living memory of our culture for as long as humans tell stories to one another, and as an act of public service for a world community that hungers to collectively remember this vital text, it is unparalleled.

We're taking another week off this week, as some of us persist in trying to move across the country, so please enjoy one of our very favorite Baby-Sitters Club Club episodes from the past few years this week, and we'll be back next week to talk about either Music and Lyrics or Wedding Crashers! Five years ago, two men made a solemn promise: They would tell the story of Agent Associate Baby-Sitter Shannon Kilbourne the way Ann M. Martin always intended it to be told. Almost immediately, one of those men fully delivered on that promise, but literally no one noticed, primarily because of an almost overwhelming lack of interest from the other man. But now, in full technicolor, you can finally hear the breathtaking tale of danger and intrigue known in Baby-Sitters Club-associated circles as "A Time to Kilbourne."

A wonderfully surreal and slightly scary world awaits all those who are brave enough to crawl through the looking glass, speak their own secret names aloud, and become new initiates of the legendary Baby-Sitters Club. But this is just the beginning of the quest, and danger awaits: Will the boys be confounded by the deadly Puzzle Box, disoriented by the mysterious Map Game, or debilitated by the incessant ringing of Claudia’s terrible telephone? Answers: Yes, yes, and yes. Fortunately, these guys are professional gamers, so there’s probably no need to worry.

Garry Marshall's 1990 film "Pretty Woman" is famously a modern retelling of the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, if any of the sites I found trying to sell me a pre-written essay on the topic for high school English class are to be believed.

"Snow exposes complacently a complete ignorance," says F.R. Leavis in his 1962 lecture on C.P. Snow's "Two Cultures." "The judgement I have to come out with is that not only is he not a genius; he is intellectually as undistinguished as it is possible to be."

Everyone likes cooking shows but what if they were even steamier ... BECAUSE OF LOVE-MAKING?!!! It's a question we've all asked ourselves, but only one person had the talent and the vision to make it come true. This week, we're joined by special guest Erin La Rosa to talk about love, cooking, and — surprising pretty much everyone — Ninja Turtles.

The era of silent podcasting is over, so you can finally hear our beautiful singing voices — and what a perfect movie to debut them with.

This movie has everything: Meryl, Remington Steele, Mr. Darcy, Dad from Thor, and — somewhat confusingly — a big, fat Greek wedding. But as perfect as it is, that doesn't mean the boys can't find a way to improve on it ... if they can only find someone with the capital to make their musical dreams a reality.

In the Year of Our Lord 2002, it was decreed throughout the land that every man, woman, and child of sound health and mind should — on a day of their choosing — go unto the theatre and bear witness with their own eyes to the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Now, 20 years after this beautiful display of international solidarity, the mandate has been long abandoned. But some few still remember. We remember.

Two films about some guys, some pitches, and a love affair with a nice lady and 11 or more sports boys who are based between 2 and 60 miles south of Cambridge. Other than that, they're actually quite different, so it's EXTREMELY important that you watch them in the correct order.

A movie about how fabulously nice it would be if somebody came and picked you up at work. Literally. This one was sadder than we expected, but Richard Gere looks great in those dress whites!

It's almost impossible to imagine a more perfect concept for a film than a completely feral Nicolas Cage yelling a lot and then falling in love with Cher. The boys discuss this '80s classic and try with very limited success to remember what Little Red Riding Hood is about.

This week, we're here from the '90s to explain to the world why selling out is so very, very bad, why not caring about anything is the coolest way to be, and why absolutely everyone needs to celebrate Rex Manning Day.

This week, a movie that asks a question that's been on everybody's mind since the Elizabethan times: What if Shakespeare fell in love with Goop, from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop? The boys endeavor to answer this while keeping the conversation high-mindedly focused on the underdiscussed influence of Jacobean Revenge Tragedy on modern cinema.
