All in Music
On this very special minisode of Paid in Puke, we're falling in love with Hannah Pearl Utt's 2024 comedy, "Cora Bora", starring Megan Stalter, Ayden Mayeri, JoJo T. Gibbs, and Manny Jacinto, with cameos from Chelsea Peretti and Margaret Cho. The Pukettes got a sneak peek at this hilarious movie that will hopefully propel Megan Stalter to the stardom she deserves.
We're slurping up Emerald Fennell's 2023 gothic drama, Saltburn, starring Rosamund Pike, Alison Oliver, Carey Mulligan, Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Archie Madekwe, and Richard E. Grant. We pay tribute to this carefully-constructed masterpiece, dive to the deepest of the layers, and, of course, appreciate the visual splendor.
We're getting friendly with Colin Higgins' ("9 to 5") 1982 musical, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", based on the Broadway show, which was in turn based on a real story published in Playboy! It stars Dolly Parton, Theresa Merritt, Dom DeLuise, Burt Reynolds, and a host of talented triple threats credited as "Chicken Ranch Girl".
Interview with Ann Magnuson with a behind-the-scenes look at filming “Making Mr. Right” in Miami in 1986, and a discussion about Ann’s early influences and media consumption, coming up in the 70’s NYC and London punk scenes, why her appearances in Hollywood films were rare, a juicy tidbit about the casting process of “Fatal Attraction”.
We're revisiting the 1997 hit comedy, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, starring Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow. It was directed by David Mirkin (Get a Life, Heartbreakers), and written by Robin Schiff, based on her play "The Ladies Room".
On Series 8, Episode 4 of Paid in Puke, we're changing the narrative on Karyn Kusama's 2009 horror comedy, Jennifer's Body, written by Diablo Cody and starring Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox. This movie was criminally mis-marketed by male executives at the time, to teenage boys, when it's actually a sapphic supernatural doomed high school romance
Denise Rodriguez came on Paid in Puke to discuss "Desperately Seeking Susan" on the day that Angela Lansbury died.
On the series 6 finale, we're hate-watching Bradley Cooper's 2018 abuse-masquerading-as-romance remake, "A Star is Born", starring Lady Gaga and no other women.
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.
We're setting sail with Howard Hawke's 1953 musical comedy, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, starring the incomparable Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe! This movie is gay in every sense of the word!

On today's episode, we're losing it over Radha Blank's 2020 semi-autobiographical comedy, The 40-Year-Old Version, written, directed by, and starring Radha Blank.
As far as we're concerned, Josh Greenbaum's 2021 comedy, Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is an instant classic. Kristin Wiig and Annie Mumalo wrote the script and also star as the titular middle-aged mid-westerners who danced their way into our hearts and our lexicons.
On the Series 3 finale, we go on a journey with Christian Papierniak's 2017 indie stay-cation road movie, Izzy Gets the F Across Town, starring Mackenzie Davis and a buffet of character actors including Annie Potts, Alia Shawcat, and Carrie Coon.
In today's episode, we put out for Lou Adler's 1982 Riot Grrrrl origin story, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, starring Diane Lane and Laura Dern as baby punks.
