All in The 90s
Paid in Puke: S4E1: Jezebel
On our Series 4 premiere, we discuss Numa Perrier's stunning 2019 debut, Jezebel, starring Tiffany Tenille and Numa herself! We have a lot of love for this semi-autobiographical tale of a young woman helping her struggling family pay the bills by taking a job in the burgeoning Cam Girl industry of the late nineteen-hundred-and-nineties.
Paid in Puke S3E8: Reality Bites
On today's episode, we pay a visit to the GenX saturated year 1994 with Ben Stiller's directorial debut, Reality Bites, starring pod fav Winona Ryder and Janeane Garofalo.

Paid in Puke S2E2: Bound
It's no joke how well Bound holds up. Released in the golden year of American cinema, 1996, Lana and Lilly Wachowski's lesbian crime thriller is a refreshing gem in a sea of films about women who get punished for standing up to men.
Paid in Puke S2E1: Muriel's Wedding
On our Series Two opener, we gush about P.J. Hogan's 1994 very Aussie, ABBA-tastic comedy, Muriel's Wedding, starring Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths. It's the perfect way to celebrate the Time of Valens (aka Galentine's Day).
Paid in Puke S1E5: Abortionpalooza 2019
In this episode we compare and contrast Alexander Payne's 1996(!) debut, Citizen Ruth (Laura Dern) with Gillian Robespierre's 2009 debut, Obvious Child (Jenny Slate). Both are about abortion. Who gets it right? Who gets it wrong?
Paid in Puke S1E4: Set it Off
