Our 100th episode! Abortionpalooza 2024 covers Lily Tomlin's 2015 comedy, "Grandma", and a 1988 episode of the Fox drama, "21 Jump Street" called "Whose Choice is it Anyway?".
All in Abortion
Paid in Puke S6E9: Dirty Dancing (1987)
On today's episode, we're carrying a watermelon for Emile Ardolino's 1987 romantic drama, "Dirty Dancing", starring Jennifer Grey, Cynthia Rhodes, and Jane Brucker.
Paid in Puke S6E7: Fatal Attraction (1987)
On today's episode, we're talking about a film that won't be ignored: Adrienne Lynne's 1987 problematic as-HELL thriller, "Fatal Attraction". This film was a box office smash that starred Glenn Close, Anne Archer, and we guess a little bit Michael Douglas.
Paid in Puke S6E3: Abortionpalooza 2021
On today's episode, we're discussing the tragic state of underage abortion rights in the United States through thematically similar, but tonally opposite films: Eliza Hitman's 2020 drama "Never Rarely Sometimes Always" and Rachel Lee Goldenberg's 2020 comedy, "Unpregnant".
Paid in Puke S5E10: Fast Times/Anniversary Party
On our series 5 finale, we're doing a double shot of Jennifer Jason Leigh and Phoebe Cates, with Amy Heckerling's 1982 comedy debut, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, written by Cameron Crowe, and 2001's Mumblecore template drama, The Anniversary Party, written and directed by Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Alan Cumming.
Paid in Puke S5E4: Blue Valentine
On today's belated Valentine's Day episode, we're getting dark with Derek Cianfrance's 2010 anti-romantic drama, Blue Valentine, starring Michelle Williams.
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?
