It's a long one....maybe the longest we've ever had. But it's important. Today the siblings are unpacking Alan Moore's dense and almost impossible-to-adapt, V For Vendetta (2005). While the source material is gross, Ross is still here for the vendetta in question. Like to the poitn where the Secret Service might show up on Carie's doorstep but who knows. And the siblings are constantly aware of the world that might be tomorrow...and what will that bring? I do not know what to say. Just take care of yourselves and each other. 

It's big core this week, lil onions. We are ending Spookaween right with Beetlejuice (1988), a hilariously dark and campy film about a bioexorcist who helps a recently deceased couple expel the living from their Connecticut farm house. Ross is hair-on-fire excited to talk about how Delia Deets is both the moment and the problem, Carie is here for the craftsmanship of a Tim Burton production, and the siblings are ready to have a dance party for the Harry Belafonte moment of this film. And don't forget, the siblings will be reviewing the sequel to this movie, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) later this month on PATREON!  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!   

There's no ifs ands or buts about it this week, lil onions. James Wan just really wanted to do the Amityville Horror and didn't care very much if it would be clocked by viewers like you. But more importantly, James Wan's spectacular fan service for Ed and Lorraine Warren are on full display this week as we cover The Conjuring (2013). Carie is entirely caught up in Ed Warren's crimes against women, Ross is predictably in love with the music, and the siblings are forever living in the moment when they went to see this in the theater with MOM

Claustrophobics need not apply this week, lil onions! We're breaking down one of Carie's all-time favorite horror films, The Descent (2005). We follow the journey of a group of female spelunkers as the traverse an unknown cave system and disturb the ancient horrors within. Carie is overwhelmed by the physical display of badassitude on behalf of the all-female cast, Ross is on the Juno For Death 2005 campaign for the entire film, and the siblings discuss how the film's two different endings impact the overall narrative.   

Better late than never, right lil onions? This week, we're breaking down Johnathan Demme's thriller classic, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). We follow junior FBI agent in training, Clarice Starling, through her journey to become one of the "big boys" in capturing one of the most notorious fictional serial killers, Buffalo Bill. Ross has all the feelings about Jodie Foster's performance as Clarice Starling, as well as the production team for doing this subject justice. Carie is super overwhelmed by the aggressive close-up shots and the narrative dynamic between Clarice and Hannibal the Cannibal. There is also some light discourse on the transphobia of this movie, but please visit the sources in the related media, bc the siblings are for sure not qualified to discuss them in depth.  Related Media: 30 years ago, The Silence of the Lambs added to cinema's trans legacy whether it meant to or not Understanding Silence of the Lambs’ complicated cultural legacy 30 years in, The Silence Of The Lambs’ Jame Gumb still deserves better

This is a long one, lil onions, but we could just not do a two-parter. We cannot be prolonging this!!! Because this week, we are unpacking Emerald Fennel's extremely disturbing, one of a kind thriller, Saltburn (2023). The siblings ride the roller coaster of the film following protagonist, Oliver Quick, from Oxford University to the mysterious summer estate of Saltburn to spend the summer with his new friend, Felix. Moment to moment, you can't be sure what happens next, and it's disconcerting. Ross can't get over the levels of depravity characters will abide, Carie is caught up in the ridiculous depth of the bathshit narrative, and the siblings are once again requesting emotional damages from the film's production team. 

Ross' barn door is off its hinges this week as we break down one of his top ten favorite films, Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan (2010). Black Swan follows the journey of Nina Sayers who has lofty aspirations of dancing both the Black and White Swans in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, but the part may turn out to be more than she can handle. Ross goes gaga for all the symbolism baked into the crust of the film, Carie is big icked by all of the disgusting body horror as Nina makes her transformation, and the siblings are in awe of the Oscar-winning performance that gave Natalie Portman a seat at the big kids' table. 

Continuing with our theme of thrillers for Ross' birthday month, we cover one of his favorites, Flightplan (2005), the movie about how it is in fact possible to lose your child on an airplane. Jodie Foster stars as engine propulsion engineer, Kyle Pratt, who is distraught to awaken to find her daughter missing while on a double decker airplane. Prepare to be gaslit, both on Kyle's behalf and as an audience. Ross fawns over the tone the movie sets up from the jump, Carie gets super jazzed by the fim's catharsis, and the siblings are in collective awe at the amount of airplane specs there are. 

What do you get when you combine Nicholas Cage, solar flares, and a meticulous tabulation of every major disaster over the past 50 years? Alex Proyas' Knowing (2009). What starts off as an interesting tale about a little girl who could see the future slowly but surely descends into a otherworldly mess when Nicholas Cage and his Macaulay of a Culkin child team up with Rose Byrne to solve the mystery of a list of numbers left in a time capsule by her mother. Ross defends the movie until he can't, Carie is actually surprised to be feeling things for Nick Cage, and the siblings are once again poised to consider the concept of what the afterlife may actually mean.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON! We're already into our West Wing MS scandal arc coverage, and it's honestly worth it just to hear Ross be mad. 

HI LIL ONIONS! No new episode this week, but we are rerunning an old episode on the pilot of Aaron Sorkin and NBC's The West Wing ahead of our PATREON coverage of the multiple sclerosis scandal arc of the show. Revisiting this episode four years later has left us with one refrain: My how the tables turn...The optimism we feel in this episode has by now turned to disillusionment and despair. But we hope you enjoy this rebroadcast and encourage you to check out our coverage of the MS West Wing arc over on Patreon. We'd love to see more of you over there. Please support us at the link below!  SUPPORT US ON PATREON PLEASE!  Original description: This week we take a long-winded stab at covering television. Our resident West Wing scholar, Ross, is here to tell us how this show came to be, how it stands up to history, and the craft of Aaron Sorkin. Carie is mostly here to fawn over Robe Lowe.  Related Media: The West Wing Weekly;   

**Let's try this again, with the CORRECT export file... This week, Carie is offending Ross' OCD by choosing a Disney film, Aladdin (1992) despite previous intentions of grouping them together. Carie defends this choice by lauding the amazing performance of her fave, Robin Williams, as the genie. Ross gets frustrated with multiple plot elements that make less than perfect sense, even for a children's film. The siblings get back to the root cause of why the film traumatized Ross in the first place, and then of course the bonus treat of Ross' unsolicited rant about Disney remakes.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON (PLEASE?)

WHO'S READY TO SOB? Seriously, like more than once. This week, in a very trigger-heavy episode, the siblings unpack one of Robin Williams' more devastating films, What Dreams May Come (1998). Carie puts Ross through the emotional woodchipper that is the story of Chris Nielsen and his family's arduous journey from life to death to ACTUAL Hell. Carie has some reading from the book the movie is based upon, Ross completely derails the recording over a Family Guy bit, and the siblings consider what they might look like in the afterlife.  Help is available.

Celebrate the life and career of the late Robin Williams with us today on a day of remembrance following the date of his death on August 11, 2014. We're talking about Bicentennial Man (1999), the turn-of-the-century film that brings Issac Asimov's 1976 novel to the silver screen. The film follows Andrew, a NDR 114 model android who embarks on a 200 year journey towards becoming human. Carie is understandably endeared by the vulnerable performance of her favorite actor of all time, while simultaneously being annoyed with the pacing and often inelegant writing. Ross is digging his heels in on the hypothetical of robots naturally evolving through what Asimov called "the ghost in the machine," and the siblings accidentally uncover the fact that I, Robot (2004), and Home Alone (1990) occur in the same cinematic universe. RELATED MEDIA: Isaac Asimov's concept of the Ghost in the Machine  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!    

It's all Robin Williams all the time this August! The siblings kicking off Carie's birthday month with a film about a  charmingly funny and outrageously sad tale of a medical student whose treatment philosophy included a clown nose and laughter, Patch Adams (1998). Ross finds the ethical implications of some of his practices troubling, while Carie gets fussy over certain Hollywood revisions to the real Patch Adams' life story, all while the siblings remember Robin Williams for his deeply dimensional acting prowess.  Related Media: The Gesundheit!

Ho-boy, major TRIGGER WARNING this week, lil onions. A lot of this is far from palatable. This week, we close out our theme of war-adjacent films with the political action thriller, Zero Dark Thirty (2012). Ross has the down low on Osama Bin Laden, his minions, and their tradecraft. Carie constantly vacillates between boredom and horror. Worst of all, the siblings have the unpleasant experience of reflecting on just how terrible the last two decades have been.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

The technology nostalgia is aging us today, lil Onions. This week, we go down another rabbit hole of information technology and artificial intelligence in the suprisingly dated film, War Games (1983). In addition to the archaic methods of hacking and computer science in this film, Ross is also deeply affected by the existence of Matthew Broderick. Carie cautions listeners about the dangers of becoming complacent and apathetic in the face of destruction. There's a special appreciation for a previous generation who lived every day with the threat of a breakdown of society, and the siblings have a conversation about a hypotetical scenario involving themselves, Matthew Broderick, and Jennifer Grey escaping the Earth in an escape pod.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

This week, the siblings are disenchanted with the sequel to a much beloved film, Elizabeth (1998), Elizabeth: the Golden Age (2007). Not only does Sir Walter Raleigh leave much to be desired in Elizabeth I reign, but we're just not sure about the fact that this is three films haphazardly sewn together. Yes, it's Return of the Jesuits, but is it really the same commentary about a woman's hard-earned ascension to the throne of England?  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

Ross is kicking off his war-related film theme this week with Olympus Has Fallen (2013) in which he bends over backwards to pay compliment to Angela Bassett and her solitary competency with running the secret service. Carie can't take the lack of writing in the principle project, and the siblings are reminded that it should always be substance over shooty shooty mcbang bang....] SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

This week, the siblings finish off #JukeboxJune with one of Carie's sentimental favorites, Baz Lurhman's Moulin Rouge (2001). The siblings dive into the tale of burgeoning love in bohemian Paris at the turn of the 20th century. Carie is immediately caught up in the biconic nature of Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman's touching performances. Ross is moment to moment on what aspect of the film he dislikes the most. Above all, the siblings are locked in a stalemate throughout about whether the film is actually good or if it is simply a movie from times gone by.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!  

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, LIL' ONIONS! This week we're continuing #JukeboxJune with a movie that is the epitome of drama and good, low-stakes fun, Mamma Mia (2008). Today, we follow the journey of young bride-to-be, Sophie, on her journey to find her birth father before she gets married. Ross is practically writing a love letter to Meryl Streep throughout the movie, Carie completely ignores Pierce Brosnan's singing in favor of his zaddy-ness, and the siblings are reminded what it means to 2000-and-ATE!!!! Y'ALL SERIOUSLY HAVE TO CHECK OUT ABBA'S DISCOGRAPHY, IF YOU SAY DISCO SUCKS, WE DON'T TRUST YOU.  RELATED MEDIA: CHECK OUT THE MAMMA MIA WRAP PARTY!!! SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

*#JukeboxJune continues this week with one of the only non-Disney or Dreamworks animated films to win an Academy Award for Best Animated Film, Happy Feet (2006). Ross has more feelings than predicted about our favorite tap-dancing penguin with Elijah Wood's eyes. Carie is traumatized all over again by the mere existence of elephant seals. Furthermore, the siblings observe what happens when you stop placing your trust in unseen penguin gods and put matters into your own flippers... SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

To kick of a jukebox musical marathon, Carie and Ross attempt to understand how a visually stunning film with fantastic musical arrangements can lose THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. That's right, it's Across the Universe (2007), a story about a cluster of bohemians navigating the turbulent world of 1960's America. Carie gets excited about Eddie Izzard's fabulous cameo, and less excited about Bono. Ross struggles with the thin narrative and shallow relationships between characters. Salma Hayek is here for no reason? And it would never be a period piece without a little of Ross' History Corner regarding the political pipeline of Richard Nixon to D0nald Trnmp.  RELATED MEDIA: History of the Detroit Uprising DONATE TO THE DETROIT HISTORICAL SOCIETY!

To finish off AniMAY, we're talking about one of Carie's emotional favorite Ghibli films, Kiki's Delivery Service (1989). Ross is full of ennui about the fact that he's not living in a Studio Ghibli postcard, Carie addresses how the movie helps her cope with creative burnout and feelings of helplessness, and the siblings are blessed finally with an anime movie with little to no conflict that is a balm on their scabby, jaded souls.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!  Later this week, we'll be releasing an episode on the infamous Ghost Stories anime with an English dub so wild, you have to see it to believe it. 

This week, Carie made Ross feel something with Belle (2021). We are following the tale of insecure teenager Suzu as she navigates the instant fame her singing voice earns her on the social media site known as U. Ross is moved by the music but cannot get over the logistics of LOGGING ON. Carie is filled to the brim with emotions at the prospect of someone being real on the internet. The solar eclipse comes up somehow? And the siblings remind themselves that you never really know who is behind the keyboard.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!  Related Media:  CHECK OUT KYLIE McNEILL!!!    

Calling all WEEBS! This week, lil' onions, we are covering one of Hayao Miyazaki's best films, Princess Mononoke (19  ). Admittedly, Ross did fall asleep in the middle of the movie, and yes, Carie does not have all the answers at the end of the day, but the film is still rife with valuable messages about environmentalism and empathy. Ross is a Yakul the Elk stan from the jump, and Carie tries to underline the uncomfy-ness associated with not knowing who is the real villain... Related Media: Princess Mononoke Revealed: The Real Mythology & History Explained SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

HAPPY ANI-MAY LIL ONIONS!! Ross is very upset, because Carie is putting him through the visual feast of AKIRA (1988). Carie is committed to trying to make this mess of an anime adaptation make sense with Ross pointing out how NOTHING MAKES SENSE. Ross regularly struggles with keeping track of all the many characters—and Carie tries to make a larger metaphor to the idea of energy everlasting. Today's English dub trailer is fan made by YouTube user Konstantin Pichugin! Related Media: Manga vs. Anime: AKIRA EDITION! SUPPORT US ON PATREON!    

To finish off Brat Pack month, the siblings break down one of the genre's most iconic titles, St. Elmo's Fire (1985). Carie is plagued by the dichotomy of attraction and revulsion to Rob Lowe's character. Ross wants answers for the injustices visited upon Dale Beiberman. By the end, neither sibling was clear on the exact message of the film, and they really hate that Rob Lowe gets exactly what he wants in the end.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

*LIL' ONIONS!* This week we're breaking down one of the greatest classics, John Hughes' iconic film about high school social structure and the effects of clique culture. It's The Breakfast Club (1985), everyone.  Carie recalls fawning over Judd Nelson as a teenager, Ross lays into the walking phallus known as Mr. Vernon, and the siblings remember the valuable lesson the film taught them about judging someone else based on their looks.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

OOOF, we are ANGRY this week, lil onions. Ross and Carie have now seen John Hughes' 16 Candles (1984) for the very first time, and WE HAVE SOME NOTES! Carie is indignant on behalf of Molly Ringwald's character, Ross is beside himself over the horrifically unfunny comedy, and the siblings realize that when push comes to shove, they really should have covered Pretty in Pink instead.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!!!!!!!!

We're kicking off Brat Pack month with the film that is said to have sparked the genre, The Outsiders (1983). The siblings re-examine one of the most central young adult dramas of their school years. Carie experiences the film with a completely different set of eyes, Ross makes a good point regarding the characteristics of the writing, and there will be far too much talk about Gone with the Wind for cinematography reasons.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

APRIL FOOLS, lil onions! We're actually off this week, but wanted to rerun a favorite episode from our Fool-Ass Films month a few years ago. Please enjoy a rebroadcast of Horrible Bosses or: How I Learned About Hostile Work Environments! If you're starved for new content this week, don't forget you can go support us on Patreon and INSTANTLY get two years of content for just $5 at the Lil' Onion tier.  This week, the siblings break down the new-age American dream--killing your abusive boss. Horrible Bosses is a film about three friends who fumble at the opportunity to eliminate their three problematic bosses from their lives. The siblings cringe at some of the movie's worst-aged moments, bust a gut over Charlie Day, and resent the presence of one "Kebin Spaceface."  SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

Lil' onions, are you ready to hear Ross get emotional? This week we're ending dinosaur month with his favorite pre-historic film, Disney's Dinosaur (2000). Ross gets super juiced up by the James Newton Howard film score, Carie manages to draw comparisons to Sonny & Cher in relevant context somehow, and the siblings remark on how important the film's theme is to how we should all treat each other with dignity and care.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!!! COME BE MAD WITH US ABOUT HOW THE SOPRANOS ENDED! 

This week, Carie and Ross break down an old favorite, The Flintstones, in which Ross comments more than once that this is a dinosaur story based on the labor of dinosaur characters in the narrative, and also the movie. Carie comments on the biconic nature of the film, mostly via John Goodman, and the siblings remember the value of a good prehistoric pun... PATREON!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week, we're weeping, lil onions! We're breaking down The Land Before Time (1988), a Don Bluth Stephen Spielberg George Lucas(?) animated feature about a mixed family of dinosaurs journeying to the promised land known as The Great Valley. Carie outlines some of the themes of the larger franchise, Ross is all in his feelings about how the movie plays his emotional strings, and the siblings are desperate to know why there is RACISM in the greater dinosaur social-verse!!!!

Who's ready to talk about DINO DNA, lil onions? We're kicking off the 2024 season with an absolute banger classic, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park (1993). Carie is absolutely fascinated with the pseudo-science around gene manipulation in the film, Ross experiences a rollercoaster of visceral emotions from amorous to icked, and the siblings reflect on how the film is a commentary upon man's hubris when finding the next frontier in the world.

To finish off the year, lil onions, Ross and I are unpacking Robert Zemeckis' truly terrifying adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic holiday tale, A Christmas Carol (2009). In addition to welcoming back a number of well-honored players to Kicking & Streaming, Carie remarks on what a surprise the movie was to her in theaters, Ross revels in the literary genius of Charles Dickens, and the siblings reflect on the importance of this story to the current economic climate, and once again condemn billionaires for allowing millions to suffer in poverty.  PLEASE SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

*This week, we unpack one of Tim Burton's finest films, Edward Scissorhands (1990). Ross gets a good boop of serotonin from a film he's not seen in many years, Carie has a less than charming head cannon about who Edward might have been modeled after, and the siblings examine the contrast of the beautiful and the spookable, and how the film's motif makes them less than mutually exclusive... SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

This week, we're talking about Joe Dante's classic horror comedy, Gremlins (1984). Ross rediscovers his need to fight and die for the Mogwai, Gizmo, Carie derails the entire recording by making an unfortunate visual comparison, and the siblings debate whether or not the message of Gremlins is one of xenophobia, or simply one of horrific Yuletide silliness. SUPPORT US ON PATREON! 

Welcome to Spooky Christmas, lil onions! We're kicking off this horrific season with coverage of the classic 1974 Canadian slasher, Black Christmas. Ross has nothing but good things to say about his first official viewing of the classic inspired by the legend of the Babysitter and the Man Upstairs. Carie defends her decision to cover the '74 film outside of the timeline, and also must explain to Ross why he would not have appreciated the 2006 remake. Also, shoutout to Olivia Hussey's hair in its defining supporting role of the film.  GUYS, IF YOU LOVE LORD OF THE RINGS, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GO CHECK OUT OUR PATREON!!!

HO BOY. Here we GO. TRIGGER WARNING FOR GUNSHOTS and a lot of other really upsetting nonsense this week, lil onions. Today, we are blessedly closing out our coverage of Oliver Stone's truly unhinged dramatization of the assassination of John F. Kennedy with part two of JFK (1991). The trial of Clay Shaw begins and so does the rising of Ross's blood pressure. Carie struggles throughout with the information dump that is heaped upon her, and the siblings come straight up to the line of giving Kevin Costner a compliment about his acting.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

This week, we are cracking open one of the most frustrating nuts in American history through Oliver Stone's historical dramatization, JFK (1991). We're so tired we can't even see straight, y'all. Ross's one ask for mainfeed this year was covering this incredibly long message board dump known as JFK, Oliver Stone's dramatization of the events surrounding the trial of Clay Shaw and his alleged connections to the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, and one New Orleans DA's mission to prove that the killing was a carefully orchestrated mission to eliminate Kennedy from the political landscape by entities both foreign and domestic. TRIGGER WARNING for racism, sexism, and white men being awful in general, as well as gunshot sound effects. Stay tuned for special segments of Ross' History Corner, as well as Carie screaming and groaning through all of the "information" introduced through Stone's film. Guys, do your own reading on the JFK assassination, because the math isn't mathing, but Oliver Stone also bends over backwards to misrepresent verifiable facts. Glad you could join us on this long, frustrating journey. Look out for part two next week!  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

In addition to the wonderful nostalgia that is the live-action film, the siblings also remark on how the execution of the story and characters are a beloved call-back to the formulaic children's cartoon we all know and love. Ross is bananas for the fashion and Carie is angered by the traditionally corny twist ending so appropriate for a film adapted from 54 year old IP that was able to connect generations.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!   Don't forget to check out our PATREON PREVIEW from last week for our coverage of the Haunting of Hill House, which you can get RIGHT NOW for just $5 over on our Patreon!
