Hello hello! Today, we're talking about Terminator Salvation (McG, 2009) and whether we dislike it as much as we dislike Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Mostow, 2003). Hint: at least one of us dislikes it MORE. Anyway, we still have a whale of a time talking about it, and that's really what matters, isn't it?

Also, please remember the three Rs: Rate, review, and reach out to say hello! You can find us at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com because neither of us has time to be good at social media and also we are not tweens.

Hello, and welcome back to our Terminator series! This week, we have a very special treat—our very first guest! And WHAT a guest: our pal Veronica Litt is an Assistant Professor of English at Cape Breton University and has recently written a book about Clueless (Heckerling, 1995) called Ugh! As if!: Clueless. She's exceptionally smart and funny and we have a fine old time talking about Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines with her. So gird your loins and inflate your boobs, 'cause we're getting into it!

If you want to reach out and talk to us, you can! Just email thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com and/or leave a comment on Spotify.

Also, pretty please leave a rating and review for us where you listen. Thanks in advance!

We're back to talk about Terminator 2: Judgment Day, a definite childhood fave and a pretty good sequel. We talk about how Sarah Connor has changed, how nobody believes her about what's happening to the world or to her (classic), and about how the Terminator pretty quickly becomes John's proxy daddy, which is weird, but not terrible. Charlie also tries to explain time travel once again.

As always, please rate and review us, and feel free to drop us a comment on Spotify or at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com.

Hasta la vista, babies!

And we're back! Thanks for your patience as we slogged through April. End of term is no joke, you guys.We have decided to move on from PSH (always in our hearts) and jump into summer blockbuster season. Specifically, we're gonna talk about the Terminator franchise! Charlie is ever so eager to talk about Mackenzie Davis's arms, but first, we need to talk about The Terminator (James Cameron, 1984). This movie is OBSESSED with baby-having and tech vs. analog and, weirdly, male virginity, and we talk about all of it!We'd love it if you would rate our little ol' pod and comment, and we'd also love to hear from you at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com if you feel like writing us some electronic mail.Also, you may have noticed our beautiful new art! We're pleased as punch with this design from our pal Tim Dyck. Thanks, Tim!

Hi folks! We can't stop/won't stop talking about Philip Seymour Hoffman movies just yet, so settle in for our chat about PSH's terrifying (yet jolly?) role in Mission: Impossible III (Abrams, 2006)! We talk about how unsettling PSH is as a villain, the movie's weird relationship with intimacy, and how PSH seamlessly switches from playing his character, Owen Davian, to playing Tom Cruise playing Davian. He climbs on things! He dangles out of a plane! He's persnickety about a li'l spill on his bespoke shirt! He really does it all in this movie, and we loved talking about it as much as we hope you'll enjoy listening to us talk about it (a lot).

Hello everyone! Because we just couldn't say away from our beloved PSH, our episode this week is about the second instalment of the Hunger Games franchise, Catching Fire (Lawrence, 2013). Hoffman plays Plutarch Heavensbee (a true gift of a name), the newest game maker and apparent crony of President Snow. We talk about the movie, teams Peeta and Gale respectively, and how Panem is, like many dystopian narratives, eerily similar to our own context in the West.

Charlie also mentions a blog post from Mark Fisher about Catching Fire called "Remember Who the Enemy Is," which you can find here: https://k-punk.org/remember-who-the-enemy-is/

Hello! This week, we're continuing our deep dive into Philip Seymour Hoffman's oeuvre (we're fancy) and looking at John Patrick Shanley's Doubt (2008), a very different movie than Wild Mountain Thyme, which he made in 2020, and which we have also done an episode about.

In Doubt, we see PSH navigate the role of a 1964 priest whom head nun Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) accuses of abusing a child. This movie makes us so angry, but also impresses the dickens out of us, and we're happy to share our thoughts about it with you.

In case you missed it, this is a movie about a priest accused of child sexual abuse, so please take care of yourselves and skip this one if you need to.

Otherwise, we'd love to hear your thoughts, so send us an email at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com or leave a comment on Spotify, and PLEASE don't forget to rate and review us!

Hello! Welcome to the second instalment of our series on Philip Seymour Hoffman and his diverse oeuvre. Today we're talking aboutCapote (Miller, 2005), which is about as far fromAlong Came Polly (Hamburg, 2004) as you can get. We fan out over Hoffman's ability to exhibit several emotions at once and we discuss how Truman, and not the murders, is the movie's biggest mystery.

Hoffman won an Oscar for this one, and we think his performance is worth a look, so join us!

Also, we had a couple of whoopsies with the sound in the first half, so we (well, I) apologize. But also, I'm not a professional sound technician, so you get what you get. :)
