What we're calling a bonus experience rather than official episode, it's up now. Also, here's the Playbill that Jason got signed. No, Sam's not jealous...

30 years ago today, The Hudsucker Proxy opened in the US. It flopped, and it's still somewhat unloved among the Coen Bros films, but it's my favourite of theirs, and Jennifer's pitch-perfect screwball performance - Stanwyck via Russell with Hepburn's voice - is one of her best.

My copy of the new UK 4K of Possessor should arrive today. Would love to ask Brandon Cronenberg and JJL what they think of the idea that, having escaped eXistenZ, Allegra Gellar disappeared, repurposed her tech, and changed her name to Girder. Any thoughts on this theory?

Our episode on The Men's Club is up now. It's a terrible film, but we had a great time discussing it with Craig MacNeil. open.spotify.com/episode/32lW...

Our next episode, on The Men's Club, is the first really terrible film we've covered for Fearless Pretender (and there aren't any more for a good while), but it's also our funniest and most raucous episode to date. Can't wait to get it posted for Friday (Midday UK time)

Starting my prep for our recording of our episode on Sister Sister tomorrow. Any thoughts on this one that we could include in the show? PS: I LOVE this Japanese poster

We recorded the March episode last weekend, this weekend it's the April episode, where we'll look at a filmed version of the production of Picnic that Jennifer starred in.

Jennifer's worst movie of her pre Y2K career (?) might just have become one of my favourite episodes of our show. Be sure to check it out next month

Tomorrow we're recording episode 13: The Men's Club, with returning guest Craig MacNeil of the Craig and Friends podcast.
