Aya Vs. The Big Boys
A podcast about watching "boy movies" for the very first time. Meet Aya Lehman, dipped into the depths of the fiery infernos of “bro cinema”, and Kevin Cookman, her Virgil through the abyss known as “Why do men love GOODFELLAS so much?” On their weekly film review show, Aya adventures through some of the so-called “greatest films of all time” for the first time ever, with Kevin as a doting guide through uncharted waters. Attempting to understand the psychosis of the patriarchy? That’s the true divine comedy.
KEVIN VS. 26

MOMMY

AYA VS. THE BIG BOYS vs. MOMMY.... How Freudian!
Closing out June's Pride programming double feature is Xavier Dolan's explosive, Tumblr-friendly MOMMY, one of the most discussed & adored films of the 2010s.... Until it suddenly became one of the decade's forgotten smash hits. Huh? How'd that happen?
Young men making movies in their 20s, MOMMY's huge year amongst film bros and subsequent burial from the critical consciousness, and Dolan's bizarre choice to inject dystopian sci-fi in a domestic drama. Also, the duo answers once and for all: why is Xavier Dolan in...
