124 – The Apple

Hey, hey, hey! BIM’s on the way! BIM’s the only way! BIM’s all the way! (?) Look, any way you may hear it, our Summer of Unhinged Musicals has reached its natural endpoint, with a movie that is unquestionably a musical. And boy, what a nonsense of a musical it is! Join Leigh, Brendan, and Chris as they attempt to make sense of 1980’s The Apple, directed by schlockmeister lunatic par excellence, Menahem Golan. Is it a modern-day retelling of the very beginning and very end of the Bible? Is it a movie fascinated by queer people that also thinks they’re wicked and sinful? Is it a disco musical that also seems to hate disco music? Friends, it’s all these things and so much more (by so much more we mean a lot men in thongs and Miriam Margolyes being groped by a bland-ass Canadian singer in the tightest pants the costume department was able to manifest). We’re also pretty drunk on our themed sangria, which seems fitting because watching this movie sober is potentially hazardous to your health.

123.5 – Something Like Summer Movies

What would summer be without summer movies to accompany it? Well, probably just insufferably hot. Thankfully, we have summer movies to distract us from (insert horrific woe here)! Leigh, Brendan, and Chris have a nice li’l chat about some of this season’s big blockbuster-y movies (and one smaller, more intimate one). From superheroes to dinosaurs to Chuck, the summer of 2025 has had it all! We also talk briefly about the upcoming conclusion to our Summer of Unhinged Musicals and the cocktail that we’ll be drinking to accompany it (hint: we’ve got a lot of apple themes going on).
