Sho-Dependent
Two lovers discuss their co-dependent relationships with the media that shaped their lives. Where were they? What happened? What changed? Listen to us try to justify our weird obsessions and have a good laugh along the way!
Episode 189: Wildwood: Art For Art's Sake
If we haven't made it abundantly clear, we HATE A.I. !!! The only thing that competes with how much we hate A.I., is how much we LOVE art. This is the first time we've reacted to a film so close to its release in theaters, but this movie is just so important we had to talk about it ASAP. We want to live in a world where all art is made by humans, and this film is helping keep that dream alive. If you haven't already, please go see Wildwood in a theater near you!
<...Episode 188: Nosfera-Three (2024) w/Liz: Oprah Of Plague
We finally did it! We've watched all of the Nosferatus! And this time we dive into all of the gooning glory that Robert Eggers can give us. Thank you to Liz for helping us close out the 2026 Spooky Season, and from our Sho-Dependent Family to yours: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Episode 187: Nosfera-One(1922) & Nosfera-Two(1979): Taylor's Version
Taylor (our Professor of Horror) is back with TWO versions of Nosferatu! It's pretty cool to break down one of Horror's earliest films, and see how that manifests throughout film history. Vampires may suck, but getting to talk with Taylor never does!

Episode 186: Frankenstein (2025): Emo King
There are few things that get us more excited than a boy with big sad eyes saying big sad words. Mary Shelley really cooked with the source material for this film, but we really appreciate the Mexican spice that Del Toro added to the recipe. So get ready to enjoy the feast, and most importantly, get emo!

Episode 185: The Invisible Man (2020): Gaslight Final Boss
2020 brought a lot of scary things into the world, but at least this film is a work of fiction... for now. A lot of things have changed between when the original 1933 film released and today. But one thing that remains constant is our fear of men; specifically the invisible kind.

If there's one thing that we know to be true, it's that we could all use a little bit more education. Luckily for us, Mrs. Shay is a teacher, and has the patience of a saint! But she also knows when the children need a seat in the dunce chair, and when they need to hear a spooky song to get their lives back on track! And Katrina is ready to warn us about the dangers of capitalism, and the horrors of love and madness. Both of these women are joining us on the pod for the first time...

Episode 171: Geto Boys' Mind Playing Tricks On Me: Cortisol Spiked
If you're anything like us, you've been known to overthink things. And not just overthink, but to put your own mind and body in jeopardy just by thinking about something too much. Well, in case you didn't already know, the Geto Boys wrote a whole song about this very issue! So not only do you have that in common with us but also a 1990s Hip Hop group as well, so that's fun!

There are few places in the world as supportive as a Women's Restroom in a night club. Whether you're holding a stranger's hair while they puke, hyping up a fire outfit, or getting a spray of someone's perfume, you are bound to find a girl feeling herself and taking a #SELFIE in the mirror.

Episode 161: The Wind In The Willows (1995): Kid Brain Dumb
When you are young and white, sometimes you end up consuming British media whether you want to or not. Somehow this VHS ended up in Kayla's childhood home, and she watched it... a lot. Are there lessons to learn from this movie? Or is it simply a whimsical acid trip through the British countryside led by a depressing group of animals wearing clothes and talking nonsense... WE shall decide!

You feel your shoulders start to shimmy and your hips start to swivel, and you find yourself asking, " Am I a slut?" and then you answer, "Well, we're all a little slutty when we hear this song!" and then you grind your way to the dance floor, in a shirt that is now a crop top. You may not be respected, but you are at least having fun!

The 90s was full of so many things! Music, fashion, technology, and Shakespeare?!? Yeah that's right kids, this isn't your grandma's English class, we're bringing tragedy into the modern era!
This version of Othello made the most conniving character imaginable, a teenage boy who is just okay at basketball, but is fantastic at ruining multiple people's lives seemingly just for the fun of it!
It just goes to show you, even the best of people can have their basketball careers and relationships destroyed, just by one dude with an evil grin and an even more...
Episode 153: La La Land Pt. 2: One Of The Meanest Things Ever
If you have ever had the urge to be slapped in the face, the ending of this movie just might do the trick!
