Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons is now streaming, so we watch it! As a sci-fi dark-reality remake, it’s not common fare for Lanthimos, but the social commentary and unsettling conspiratorial tone are very, very familiar. Did you wonder if Stone's Michelle was actually an alien? Who was the real protagonist? And did the metaphors land well enough to earn Bugonia an Academy Award? We’re trying our best to get the Bugonia ending explained along with the complicated and surreal moments along the way as we, like the characters, navigate collective fear, capitalism, the concept of impending doom, bees, and other hallmarks of modern anxiety reflected in this movie. If you love strange movies, auteur directors, and deep-dive film conversations, this episode is for you.You can watch us now at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify.

It: Welcome to Derry on HBO Max is a series that ties together It, It: Chapter Two, The Shining, and probably a lot of Stephen King stories, despite not being directly based on any book. In this episode, we break down how the series connects to King’s wider multiverse, including cosmic horror elements, Pennywise, and ties to characters, timelines, and mythology across his works.Prequels are hard, but the juice does seem to be there, despite a known scaredy-cat/ nostalgia hater as one of your two co-hosts!You can watch us now at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify.

Conan O’Brien got the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at a very, very weird time in history, when the Kennedy Center, free speech, and the concept of comedy are all at major points of flux and controversy. So anyway, the show opens with a m@$turb@ting bear. Conan is a comedy hero for many reasons to many people, and this special, which won an Emmy, expresses that so many ways over. Kim and Jason break down the balance between subtle and overt political comedy, the concept of “dumb-smart,” silliness, and cynicism. You can watch us now at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify.

Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE is the Netflix docuseries following the formation of Katseye, the global girl group from HYBE and Geffen. It narrows down thousands of girls, to tens, to the final 6, and it definitely doesn’t want you to call it K-Pop (even though Kpop is a huge compliment and definitely the style they were going for, but we digress).Did you watch Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE? Did you agree with the audition and show tactics used? Do you think any shows with a fan vote are 100% honest?We talk about this, the realities of living in Hollywood, what it’s like to work on projects that never see the light of day, and a Cyberpunk party.

Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser aka the Netflix Biggest Loser docuseries caused a lot of controversy between subjects like Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels (who didn’t participate), Dr Robert Huizenga, and behind the scenes talent J.D.

Opus (2025) starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich is now streaming on HBO Max.

Pay. Your. Cheerleaders!!! Despite having no interest in sports, Kim loves the DCC in large part due to Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Who knew about the intense pressure, demanding schedules, unique subculture, and low, low, very low pay for these professional NFL cheerleaders? We do, and so does the world, now. Will the cheerleaders ultimately win the battle to get some baseline respect and compensation? Hopefully. Because they are world-class dancers and athletes who deserve to be treated as such.

When was Inside the Garden Wall made, and does the answer even matter? Kim and Jason discuss the new cult classic and what it means, why it’s loved, and why it’ll become a timeless hit for years to come. Is the unsettling nature something that’s deeply lacking in the rest of entertainment? Is it the music that makes Over The Garden Wall so special? What is the importance of nostalgia? And in todays segment: Kim discusses her “news voice” and the difference between local broadcast news and what she does now. Plus: why she dropped her agent. I think we can all agree the  lesson of this all is: don’t throw rocks at birds. This episode was produced and edited by Kim Horcher and Jason Charles Miller.

On Episode 2 of Intro Skippers, we’re talking about The White Lotus! How can the show’s season finales from Season 1 (Maui) and Season 2 (Taormina) prepare us for how The White Lotus Thailand will end up? Is the show training us to have specific instincts and expectations, and is that a red herring in itself? Why do bad people never face real consequences?? Kim Horcher and Jason Charles Miller bring full reports of both season finales so far in preparation for a new prestige season of suspicions, character studies, and over the top action along with unfounded guesses about who will end up where by the time the Season 3 finale rolls around.Grab a plate at the breakfast buffet, hunker down, and prepare to barely ever leave the resort with us in this episode of Intro Skippers!This episode was produced and edited by Kim Horcher and Jason Charles Miller.
