All in Season Eight
Paid in Puke S8E9: The Lost Daughter
We get lost in Maggie Gyllenhaal's 2022 directorial debut. The Lost Daughter stars Olivia Coleman, Jessie Buckley, Dakota Johnson, and Dagmara Dominczyk. The film tackles biological motherhood in a way that is so candid, the author of the source material used a pseudonym to avoid backlash.
Paid in Puke S8E8: The Gift
We wanna return Sam Raimi's 2000 supernatural drama, The Gift. Billy Bob Thornton penned this pseudo-feminist tale of an inconveniently psychic single mom (Cate Blanchett) who gets caught up in a murder investigation.

Denise Rodriguez returns to discuss our predictions and hopes for the 2023 Academy Awards.

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”.
Paid in Puke S8E7: Making Mr. Right
On series 8, episode 7 of Paid in Puke, we’re thrilled to bring you this deep cut gem from 1987: “Making Mr. Right”. Susan Seidelman’s retro-futurism genre bender stars the incomparable Ann Magnuson, as well as Glenne Headly, and Laurie Melcalf. We were lucky enough to snag Ann for an interview!
Paid in Puke S8E6: Titanic w/ Caitlin Durante
We're plumbing the depths of James Cameron's 1997 hit disaster epic, Titanic, starring Kate Winslet, Frances Fisher, and Kathy Bates. Joining us is Titanic super-fan, and one half of The Bechdel Cast, Caitlin Durante, who is always ready to talk about what makes Rose a feminist, how Fabrizio was robbed, what James Cameron got right, and why they never again want to hear someone say there was room on that door.
Paid in Puke S8E5: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
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
Paid in Puke S8E3: Desperately Seeking Susan
On Series 8, Episode 3 of Paid in Puke, we have a blast discussing Susan Seidelman’s 1985 genre-bender, Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Rosanna Arquette, Laurie Metcalf, and friggin’ MADONNA, as well as a bevy of 1980s NYC character actors and hipsters.
Paid in Puke S8E2: Walking and Talking

On our Series 8 opener, we're Paid in Pugh'k! It's a drama-o-rama, spoiler-filler Don't Worry Darling Extravaganzah! If you've been living under a Hollywood-free rock, that's Olivia Wilde's genre hopper staring Florence Pugh, Gemma Chan, Kiki Layne, Kate Berlant, and Wilde herself.
