Co-hosts Amy and Ashley put Quentin Tarantino under their microscope on this edition of Prizefighting Kangaroo. There’s a deep dive into the filmmaker and foot fetishist’s 2019 summer blockbuster, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood.

In this latest installment of The Mortician’s Daughter, we talk about avoiding the summer heat (and resultant depression) here in the Sonoran Desert and about the paths to Sainthood, obviously. You might not see the initial correlation between these two ideas, but in fifteen minutes, I can draw the line. Yes, as any art historian can tell you, the road to sainthood is quite violent for those martyred for their faith…

In our continued celebration of directors in 2019, for this episode we’ve invited a guest — Phoenix-based journalist Tom Reardon — to join us to chat about one of his favorite directors, Whit Stillman. With only seven movies under his directorship, Stillman hasn’t been terribly prolific but he has managed to maintain a following and create opinions about his movies that often follow the lives of young, rich kids in NYC. Let’s just say not everyone in this convo holds the same level of fandom… of the director and of socialites…

We can save the Übermensch and Nazis and horse-whipping crazy-house for another day…
