On the series three premiere, we celebrate Mother's Day with some choice words for James L. Brooks' 1983 drama, Terms of Endearment, starring Deborah Winger and Shirley MacLaine.
Paid in Puke S2E10: Ghost World
In our final episode of Series Two, we fan girl all over Terry Zwigoff's 2001 film, Ghost World, based on the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes.
Paid in Puke S2E9: Josie and the Pussycats
In this episode, we let the cats out of the bag with 2001's Josie and the Pussycats, written and directed by Deb Kaplan and Harry Elfont (Can't Hardly Wait) and starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, and Tara Reid.
Paid in Puke S2E8: Alien w/ Erin Lavery
In this episode, we're joined by the brilliant Erin Lavery to discuss one of her favorite films: Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi art house classic, Alien.
Paid in Puke S2E7: Midsommar/The VVitch
On this episode, we get pagan AF, as we dig deep into Robert Eggers' 2015 film, The VVitch, and Ari Aster's 2019 film, Midsommar!
Paid in Puke S2E6: Bring it On
On this episode of Paid in Puke, we've got s-loads of spirit for Peyton Reed's ahead-of-its-time (a few Hot Probs aside) anti-appropriation film, Bring it On, starring Kirstin Dunst and Gabrielle Union.
Paid in Puke S2E5: Like a Boss
On this episode of Paid in Puke, we discuss the myriad ways we were disappointed by Miguel Arteta's 2020 comedy, Like a Boss.
Paid in Puke S2E4: Dick
In this episode, we go through the looking glass to discuss Andrew Fleming's (The Craft) 1999 political teen comedy, Dick!
Paid in Puke S2E3: Bombshell
In this episode, we defuse Jay Roach's perplexing 2019 sexual harassment drama, Bombshell, a film that attempts to explain the #metoo movement to white CIS men. Does it succeed? Not particularly! The Hot Probs never end.
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: 2020 Oscars Special!
It's the off season but we HAD to do an Oscars Special! Hear our picks for who we think SHOULD grab the gold, who we think we get it instead, and who we think got snubbed for the big 6 categories (Best Pic, Acting, and Directing).
Paid in Puke S1E8: Black Christmas (2019)
Sofia Takal's reimagining of the beloved 1974 horror film keeps our yuletides dark (but in a good way)! Black Christmasresponds well to a modern social justice revamp, but you'll never guess who DIDN'T like it (hint: #notallmen).
Paid in Puke S1E7: The Craft (1996)
We're back in that golden year of cinema, 1996, to discuss Andrew Fleming's one-of-a-kind teenage witch (not to be confused with Teen Witch) escapade, The Craft!
Paid in Puke S1E6: Carrie
We dive head-first into Brian De Palma's 1976 horror classic, Carrie, starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie!
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
In this episode, we marvel at F. Gary Gray's under-appreciated 1996 social justice drama, Set It Off, starring Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, Jada Pinkett and Kimberly Elise.
Paid in Puke S1E3: Hustlers
Wherein we fawn over Lorene Scafaria's 2019 cathartic Wall Street feminist revenge film, Hustlers, starring Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez.

Discussing the cult classic that inspired our podcast!
Paid in Puke S1E1: Fogelfest! (The Spy Who Dumped Me/Booksmart)
