Tell me about it. Nope, not doing it. We. Have. To. Stop.Is everyone keeping up so far? This was probably the wrong week to stop sniffing glue but, alas, we persevere. In all seriousness, grab a pen and paper because there is a bonkers big number of movies shouted out at the top of the discussion this week and a lot of them are worth a peek. Surely, that’s not too tall of an order. And don’t call me Shirley.Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatLicense code: 3TAE4KZJFRW3BWEKOutro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJEmail us pictures of your cats at [email protected]!Follow us on social media and your favorite streaming service via this super handy website: https://linktr.ee/hearmeoutpod.infoWe love comments, 5 star ratings and new pals so drop us a line!

Oh right, anyway, the gang knocks out a couple of hits with a continuation of the worst round of Trapped in a Car and some dope Blimpets. They also cover a lot of tv and movies but worry not, no real memory or recall of any of those joints is important for this one. Just sit back and ride the vibes y’all.

Jk jk all the Guiness is gone so we had to craic open the Paddy’s and things have gone considerably off the rails.Aileen & Nicole keep things moving, though, with a feisty discussion about The Matchmaker, Waking Ned Devine and In Bruges.

    15 - Hell Hath No Fury - Jennifer's Body (2009), Honeymoon (2014), The Hurt Locker (2008)

    Bitchy friends. Bad spouses. Bombs everywhere. Each its own uniquely hellish landscape that has, at one point or another, been analyzed painstakingly so as to be broken down and then crafted into the most enjoyably digestible entertainment. Who the heck can multi-task like that?! Women, that’s who! Probably some other people, too, but today’s class is about women and the films they direct.Aileen and Nicole are back to basics with the ~classic~ three film format this week, each having assigned a first watch to the other and the third choice being a first watch for them both. What a blast amirite! Now find a super comfy seat to settle into for lots of chitter chat about Jennifer’s Body, Honeymoon and The Hurt Locker. Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatOutro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJEmail us pictures of your cats at [email protected]!Follow us on social media and your favorite streaming service via this super handy website: https://linktr.ee/hearmeoutpod.infoWe love comments, 5 star ratings and new pals so drop us a line!

    13 - Mel Brooks, 99 Years of Rising Below Vulgarity

    Men in tights! Interracial friendships! Sexually liberated women! Satire in the face of fascism! For almost a century, Mel Brooks has been delightfully sticking it to The Man with his trademark blend of slapstick comedy and social commentary. Love that for him. In an episode that is on brand with the meshugaas of Brooks’ work, Aileen and Nicole go slightly off the rails while discussing his filmography, personal life and an exciting discovery about youngest son Max Brooks’ career path. There’s also a brand new, obnoxious round of Trapped in a Car plus everyone’s favorite segment, Blimpets, so hop on any ole blazing saddle you can find and head on down to the show. Yeehaw! Oh, and one last thing - FUCK ICE. Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatOutro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJEmail us pictures of your cats at [email protected]!Follow us on social media and your favorite streaming service via this super handy website: https://linktr.ee/hearmeoutpod.infoWe love comments, 5 star ratings and new pals so drop us a line!

    11 - Top 10 Blimpets 2025

    Last year will, of course, be most remembered for introducing Blimpets to the world. Those delicious, delectable, delightful bits and baubles that make life worth living, make the good fight worth fighting!! Lol jk 2025 was crazy as hell. But while the last twelve months might have been super bizarre and often scary, indulging in Blimpets wherever possible certainly made things more fun. In this first episode of the new year, Aileen and Nicole each count down ten of their favorite things from 2025. From movies and shows to activities and even people, hear what they have to say about the things that added a sprinkle of joy to their lives. Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatOutro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJEmail us pictures of your cats at [email protected]!Follow us on social media and your favorite streaming service via this super handy website: https://linktr.ee/hearmeoutpod.infoWe love comments, 5 star ratings and new pals so drop us a line!

    10 - 🎼🎶Do Yule Hear What I Hear? A Sol, A Sol Burning in the Night🎶🎼

    Happy Nothing, Professors! It’s that joyous time of year again so grab the eggnog, nosh some grub and prepare the sacrifices while We (royal) settle in to celebrate a little bit of everything on this week’s episode. Ever wonder how many deities were born on December 25th? Or which holiday myths have been holding humanity hostage in a world of lies? What would an ideal casting of A Christmas Carol look like or did The Muppets execute it perfectly, no notes? All these mysteries unveiled plus so, so much more as Aileen & Nicole explore the world of winter solstice folklore, modern iterations of long-standing pagan traditions and try not to upset Krampus too much. But maybe a little. There’s just something about him…Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatOutro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJEmail us pictures of your cats at [email protected]!Follow us on social media and your favorite streaming service via this super handy website: LINKTREEWe love comments, 5 star ratings and new pals so drop us a line!

    9 - Movies with Which to Be Laid to Rest

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Movies with Which to be Laid to Rest!Alas, we have passed. Just kidding, no passing away for us! But stay tuned in right here to find out how if we had, what we’d bring to watch if we did, the things that shaped us before we do and which films we’re enjoying the most while we don’t. Pretty sure everything is over anyway since there’s an opinion rift re: Terminator 2 Judgement Day. Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatOutro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJ

    8 - Get Stuffed - Home For The Holidays (1995), The Ice Storm (1997), A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)

    Stuff your ears with the delicious sounds of a friendly post-Turkey Day decompression. Or maybe all the madness that comes with the (*illegally obtained) holiday territory will erupt forth from you like a boiled gravy, amping you up in the name of truth and justice everywhere, consequently leading to you cleaning the grout with a toothbrush. Nothin’ left to do but listen and find out, ya turkeys!Plenty more puns and LOLs where that came from on this week’s episode when Aileen and Nicole dig into the uniquely American tradition that is the celebration of The Alliance Feast, otherwise known as Thanksgiving! Home for the Holidays, The Ice Storm and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving each take a look at the day from a different perspective while sharing some surprising similarities. Kinda just like family, huh? There are also mentions of cats and tons of themed games so dig in already, friends!!Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatOutro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJ

    Get HALLOWEEN EXXXTREME with Aileen and Nicole this week while they cover as much creepy crawly territory possible. Beginning with their fave festive flick picks, things eventually spiral into depravity and madness with unhinged FMKs, sassy little slideshows and enough blasphemy to shock Mr. LaVey himself. Listen closely, though, because there just might be a sweet little summary of how their friendship began tucked in amongst the chaos. Grab plenty o’ candy snacks cuz these birds sure went for it this time innit?! Intro/Outro Music: “Haddonfield, Illinois” by My Revenge!

    On this week's episode, Aileen and Nicole are joined by special guest, screenwriter, podcast host, and all-around really cool dude, Scotty Landes! He did not disappoint when he supplied a perfect list of some of his favorite freaky films spanning the decades. Listen as the ladies eventually figure out how to talk to a famous person and find out which horror trope scares these three more than anything else: will they choose to swim in shark-infested waters, hang out in narrow underground tunnels or take their chances against an enraged psycho killer? Which movie do YOU think would make the perfect amusement park ride? Keep your head on straight, this one is a doozy! Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatLicense code: 3TAE4KZJFRW3BWEK Outro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJ

    Eat the rich, ignore government protocols, save the adorable kids. Those are the directives on this week’s episode as Aileen and Nicole take the deepest dive yet into communication failures with Train to Busan, The Host and The Night Eats the World. Could it be possible that the most disgusting FMK of all time is buried somewhere deep within? Could it also be possible that overarching authority is the spookiest monster of all? Happy October!!Intro Music: "Dope" by Soundroll #UppbeatLicense code: 3TAE4KZJFRW3BWEK Outro Music: “Dive Into the Dark” by CKJJ

    3 - The Co Bros Episode - Raising Arizona (1987) O Bother, Where Art Thou? (2000) Burn After Reading (2008)

    It’s all fun and games on this week’s episode as Aileen and Nicole dive head first into the Coen Brothers. The worlds within Raising Arizona, O Brother, Where Art Thou and Burn After Reading prove fruitful territory for FMKs, character superlatives and much more.
