0089 BollywoodThis week, dear listeners, Windy and Melissa bring you their favorite Bollywood movies! Well, Bollywood and other films from India. But mostly Bollywood. And mostly Shahrukh Khan movies. Seriously, there’s a lot of Shahrukh Khan talk in this episode. Anyway, you’ll enjoy hearing us make egregious geographical and pronunciation errors.

If you would like to drink along, we suggest either Bogle Essential Red (if you’re into wine) or New Glarus’ Staghorn Octoberfest (if you’re into beer and have access to Wisconsin).

0088 DocumentariesThis week, dear listeners, Melissa gets all nerdy with one of her favorite areas of cinema: documentaries. She selects a few of her favorites to discuss, and Windy adds a few of her own.

If you would like to drink along, we suggest either Norton Barrel Select red wine or New Amsterdam vodka, both of which are fine budget selections.

We apologize for the audio issues. We were recording over Hangouts, and Windy’s feed wasn’t always reliable. Also, there was nearly a one-second delay, so some weird timing things happen. We’ve fixed everything we can.

To make up for it, here’s a screenshot of Windy making a face:

0087 Movie MusicDear listeners, this week we talk about movie music with our friend and movie fan, Pat Wick! We chat about movie music we love and about some we hate, and then we sing a bit.

If you would like to drink along, we recommend Casillero del Diablo Carmenere, which we found highly drinkable.

An additional note on this episode: you may notice in the Ravenous section that Melissa does not actually talk about the music. She did, but her original short description was based on alcohol and not seeing the film for a very long time, so it was a misrepresentation of what the score is like. Thus, we clipped out those two sentences. Here’s a better description: it’s like American Civil War-era folk music meets Charles Ives.

0086 CarsThis week, dear listeners, we bring you an episode about Melissa’s obsession with car movies! We talk about car chases, car crashes, car explosions, and, of course, devil cults.

If you would like to drink along, you’ll need to go to a gas station in Wisconsin to pick up a bottle of Three Lakes Winery semi-sweet cranberry wine. But we won’t judge you if you substitute something within easier reach!

0085 Moving MoviesDear listeners, this week, we bring you our first cross-country recording! Through the wonders of modern technology, this episode was created while Melissa was in Minnesota and Windy was in Texas. In honor of this, we bring you an episode about moving movies (as in movies about characters who are in the process of changing residence, just like both of us).

Since this was our first go at a recording session via Google Hangouts, we had some challenges with the audio. Windy’s audio improves dramatically after the first few minutes, so please hang in there. Also, there is a computer fan whir that occasionally intrudes, so… sorry about that. We now know what we need to fix for next time.

If you would like to drink along, we recommend Windy’s choice of La Puerta Malbec! (We don’t really recommend Melissa’s choice of Killepitsch, unless you are either insatiably curious or unhealthily fascinated by herbs.)

Here are some screenshots from our recording session!
