  • #12 - The Family Stone (2005) + Charlotte's Wildcard Pick
    Dec 12 2024

    On the 12th day of Christmas your bi loves give to you… the 12th episode of the Bi-Panic Room, wrapped up in a pretty, red bow!

    Join the gang as they discuss a Christmas classic: The Family Stone, which features typical festive topics such as metastatic cancer, familial bullying and partner swapping.

    The stellar ensemble boasts Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Dermot Mulroney, an unhinged Sarah Jessica Parker and Luke Wilson in grey sweatpants. What’s not to love?

    This week’s BPEs feature the first mention of Wicked (but certainly not the last) and Instagram’s sexy grandma. Seriously, look her up.

    Charlotte undertakes the Sisyphean task of trying to push one of the straightest films of all time up the snow-covered hill, as she attempts to convince the others of her latest bi-panic wildcard pick...

    Ho ho ho. With a bi.

  • #11 - The World Is Not Enough (1999) + Grace's Wildcard Pick
    Nov 28 2024

    The millennium…again? No you’re not seeing double. You’re seeing 007.

    Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond saw us into the early noughties with a hot, action-packed, surprisingly feminist feature that left many shaken, and stirred.

    Forget the questionable: accents, science and character names (looking at you, Christmas) and stay for the jet skis, crisp linen suits and antique torture devices.

    Bi-panic energies (BPEs) of the week include an almost-gay kiss, a hosts clothing, major city and magazine spread.

    Grace tries her best to push the Candy in her thanksgiving-set wildcard pick. Will she succeed?

    There’s only one way to find out…

  • #10 - Entrapment (1999) + Harry's Wildcard Pick
    Nov 14 2024

    Ah the millennium. The perfect backdrop for this week’s biconic heist movie and, coincidentally, the age gap between its two stars, Sean Connery and HRH Catherine Zeta-Jones.

    Yes, Jon Amiel’s 1999 film Entrapment features that scene, spawning an entire generation of bisexuals with an unrealistic expectation of:

    • Their own flexibility
    • The manners of older men
    • Their natural ability to play both sides of the field

    Your hosts debate mismatched outfits, justice for geriatric asexuals and just what we thought would happen when Y2K hit.

    Bi-panic energies (BPEs) of the week include Saorsie’s Sofa Stun, hot halloween homages and majestic music(als).

    Harry is back in the hot seat with his bi-panic wild card, which left us asking the question: did Mad World ruin Christmas in your home country?

    Time to patch into the mainframe, steal some seconds from the atomic clock and kick-back with your latest dose of cinematic bi-panic.

  • #9 - Scream (1996) + Tessa's Wildcard Pick
    Oct 31 2024

    What's your favourite bi-panic movie?

    You just know a film is biconic when it spawns several franchises and an entire porn sub-category.

    Wes Craven’s 1996 meta-horror-spoof Scream is the perfect way to celebrate our second Halloween special - on Halloween no less! - and reminisce about the days when a hot teenage boy with shark eyes could sex shame his recently bereaved girlfriend and tube TVs were a valid murder weapon.

    The gang thirsts after the (imagined) chemistry between Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox and wonders what the Irish version of Ghostface would have sounded like.

    This week’s bi-panic energies (BPEs) veer alarmingly straight, but luckily Harry pulls it back with a glorious misunderstanding.

    Tessa’s wildcard pick sticks with the spooky theme and makes it obvious that no one knows how to pronounce "Wayans" properly. Take it, Brendan!

  • #8 - Jennifer's Body (2009) + Charlotte's Wildcard Pick
    Oct 17 2024

    It’s bi boo time! In our first of two halloween specials, the gang goes full lesbi-gay for Diablo Cody’s 2009 sleeper hit, Jennifer’s Body.

    It may have been a decade ahead of its time but the indie emo songs and guyliner make it a true classic of the late noughties. In case you weren’t sure whether the hosts of this podcast were actually teenagers during this time, this episode offers definitive proof with mentions of Veronica Mars, The OC and Fall Out Boy. 10/10 movie.

    Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried deserved awards for it, if you disagree, come fight us.

    This week’s BPEs (bi-panic energies) embrace a whole spectrum of messiness and Bi visibility.

    Finally, the pressure is on for our only host to have all her wildcards voted into the bi-panic room (so far...), Charlotte, who fights for her life with her latest wild card pick - and it becomes clear who in the gang was a teenage Tumblr nerd and who wasn’t.

  • #7 - Jurassic Park (1993) + Tessa's Wildcard Pick
    Oct 3 2024

    Dinosaur eats man. Woman inherits the earth. And everything about this movie makes you bi.

    This week: Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic, Jurassic Park, which, to half the gang, is a movie about a rich old man going to extraordinary lengths to stop his grandchildren from inheriting his fortune.

    Time to take off your sunglasses (a la Laura Dern), tighten your Sam Neil neckerchiefs and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime.

    Also: Jeff Goldblum’s hand acting, bi cigarettes, and Grace reciting the entirety of the IMDB trivia.

    This episode's bi-panic energy (BPEs) range from the Swiftian (Taylor, that is, obviously) romance of pole vaulting to the epitome of lesbianism: synced periods.

    Tessa lives up to her name of the bi with the wildest of wild card pitches, as she makes a case for her childhood comfort film.

    Who knows, maybe it’ll succeed. After all, life finds a way.

  • #6 - 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) + Grace's Wildcard Pick
    Sep 19 2024

    Get ready, guys, that must be Nigel with the Brie!

    In this episode, the gang covers the 1999 cinematic masterpiece 10 Things I Hate About You, starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik in a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew.

    In true biconic fashion, there are two divided camps on who to fancy. White shirt or black shirt? They’re just so different.

    This film has it all: Allison Janney's guidance counsellor's writing smut, insufferable requests for agua, and the 90's classic - brushing a strand of hair behind the ear right before you kiss.

    This week’s bi-panic energy (BPE) feature the horrors of UK weather, the Olympics and Charlotte delivering an impromptu German lesson you won’t find on Duolingo. Grace brings it home with another white middle-class wild card pick.

    What will it be? Well it makes for a Shakespearean double whammy. We’re highbrow like that. Gotta lifetime o' knowledge.

  • #5 - Cruel Intentions (1999) + Charlotte's Wildcard Pick
    Sep 5 2024

    Brace yourself LGBTQ+ film fans, and gird your loins for the first deeply problematic addition to the Bi-Panic Room.

    For three of your hosts, Cruel Intentions taught us a fundamental truth about life: blondes are pious angels and brunettes are sexually promiscuous sociopaths who blaspheme by storing recreational narcotics in their crucifix necklaces. Or something like that.

    Your hosts question their own decision to bring this controversial cult classic into the bi-panic room, while unanimously agreeing that Sarah Michelle Gellar delivers unhinged dialogue like a closeted queen and that Hollywood should ban men from writing sexual material about teenagers.

    This week’s bi-panic energy features several women in suits - because duh - and Charlotte’s wildcard pick is a real throwback to your 2000s Disney education.

    You always checked your nail polish was dry after, right?

    Buckle up bicons and get ready for another serving of bipanic.
