The two most common never ending battles: home organization and entitled and out of touch gamers. With Bob's new job, our home may actually start looking like nearly thirty year old's live here. On the other hand gamers, which Jon arguably is one, are the worst, but in some incredibly nebulous ways.

We've been busy and burnt out little bees over the last year, but we missed out little chats that we shared with you all so we're going back to basics and talking about what's got us excited and what we're excited for. This week we're talking about Capcom's masterful Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and Jon's obsession with it and Bob's love of their latest TTRPG inspired comic creation, SlimeFrog.

Hey friends,
While we aren't picking THIS show back up any time soon, we couldn't not do our annual "Top Ten Things" episode. This year started off a little rockier than the last few. While we loved producing this show regularly we have an exciting project in the works to use all of the skills we learned on this one and hopefully avoid all of the mistakes.
That's being said there was a lot we were grateful for throughout the year. So from us to you happy holidays and we'll see you next year.
(PS also we MIGHT start dropping the occasional movie or show review here when we have the time and drive for it, but while you wait be sure to check out our personal projects in the links below)

Hey friends this week's episode will be the last regularly scheduled episode of the podcast for the foreseeable future. This movie is an incredible look into the growth of a young queer black man and his journey to finding out who he is. Told over 3 periods in his life portrayed by three different incredibly talented actors Barry Jenkin's "Moonlight" is incredible.
Keep up with our current endevours and keep an eye out for random episodes and live shows coming up. Thanks for 4 wonderful years.

This week kicks off our exploration of films produced by NON-AMPTP studios to support the striking writers and actors who bring to life the stories we love watching. There is no better candidate to start with than 2013's “The Congress”. The mixed medium film directed by Ari Folman stars Robin Wright in a world where movie studios have started scanning actors to continue “creating” movies without the actors. 20 years pass and contract negotiations require her attendance of the futurological Congress, presented in the film as an acid trip soaked tribute to the animation styles of the 20s and 30s.
It's an odd film that predicted some of the largest changes to both the industry as well as technology in general. It's clear that studios are already attempting to achieve a similar process via scanning background actors and the way that virtual reality has become more of a social platform.

"Nobody gets through this life unscathed. Not you, not me, Mr. Shaky Hands. But then you’re left with a choice. Are you going to let your grief drown you, or are or are you going to face it and come through the other side?"
Apple TV's “Shrinking” is a beautiful exploration of grief and the family you choose. It is also one of the best written and well-performed shows of the year and the creatives both behind the scenes and on the screen deserve fair compensation, residuals that reflect the streaming landscape and protections from studios stealing their work and likeness. In solidarity with both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA's strikes, this will be the last episode covering a project produced by the AMPTP.

"...your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

"He hasn't always had it easy, and he's not the only one. And now he's on his own, and he's not the only one. You think you know the rest. You don't. I thought knew the rest, but I didn't. I didn't wanna hurt him, but I did. And... he's not the only one."
The sequel to the 2018 instant classic is another instant classic with even more animation styles, action, and spider-people. "Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse" see's Miles (Shameik Moore) reunited with some familiar faces (Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez) and some new ones (Oscar Isaac, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni) as they track down The Spot (Jason Schwartzman)

- Taking a deeper dive into the character development and themes of the the film.
- Highlighting our favorite things and recommending similar titles.

Starring Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, and Tiffany Haddish sees a version of Nick Cage struggling with his celebrity status, lack of connection with his daughter, and longing for the more creative and challenging roles of his youth and is invited to a private compound owned by Javi Gutierresz where it is believed by Vivian and the CIA to be the location of a kidnapped politician's daughter.

Hey Friends,
We checked out possibly the best movie of 2022, A24's and the directing/writing duo Daniel Kwan's and Daniel Scheinert's "Everything Everywhere All at Once". Starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis, an extremely mundane mother and owner of a laundromat is thrown into chaos when she learns of the multiverse and her place of it.

Hey Friends,
We finally sat down to check out the Sonic the Hedgehog movies (both directed by Jeff Fowler) and we're kind of convinced that they are the best video game movies ever. Starring Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter Idris Elba, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey the live action adaptations of one of gaming's most iconic characters had quite a bit of controversy at the beginning but has "Blue Justice" earned his upcomming 3rd movie?

Hey Friends,
Introducing Mel Brook's "Young Frankenstein" to Bob went unexpectedly the wrong direction. It turns out that the oft considered classic might not be so worthy of that title compared to other works in both Mel Brook's catalogue and the 70's. Starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, and Peter Boyle, the 1974 parody of Universal's monsters in their heyday follows the grandson of Victor Frankenstein, Dr. Fredrick Frankenstein a professor and surgeon trying to escape the infamous legacy of his family name, only to find himself falling not very far from the tree.

December 15, 1974

Hey Friends,
We saw Pixar/Domee Shi's "Turning Red" starring Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh, Ava Morse, Hyein Park, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan this weekend. Is this movie the satanic panic that some viewers would have you believe? No. Is it brain washing young children to disobey their parents? Probably not. Is it a really sweet coming of age movie that makes millennials feel old? 100%

Hey Friends,
Is it our longest episode? Yes. Is it the most fun we've had recording? Also yes. This week we're joined by Bracket Night team members Katie Tarara and Ryan Lowe doing the only thing that makes sense (or not) to do in March. We break down a bracket to determine the BEST superhero movie ever made. Our word is law, and outside opinions are invalid (or not, do what you want). We can't begin to thank everyone (including Katie and Ryan) for your patience as we worked on getting this episode completed. This one was the most work we've put into editing and it'd mean a great deal if you checked it out and supported our show via the links below.

What happens when Ned Flanders travel's to the UK to coach football (but not real football, because it's soccer)? Probably the best tv show in the last 2 years.

Oh Hey Friends,
This weekend we made our way through 3/4ths of the Ghostbusters franchise, rewatching the first 2 movies and hitting theaters to find out why movie critics hate fun and why 2016's reboot, really isn't that bad. Spoilers for Ghostbusters: Afterlife aren't till the end of the episode, so feel free to listen to the first part!

Hey Friends,
Oh Hey Friends,
We're back, we're older, we're bolder, and we're two B's ready to roll. This week we "try" play catch up on what we did during the hiatus, and we completely forget that we mention a very important date right at the top of the episode only to second guess ourselves later on. We're excited to be back, so enjoy this weeks episode.

Hey Friends,
It's been a delightful time sharing this podcast, and with it pieces of ourselves in every conversation, with you. We spend the bulk of the conversation talking about favorite moments and guests, we get in depth about why we even started The Butch and The Bi, and we announce our upcoming project. We've had some amazing and lovely guests and we're grateful for every single one that took the time to chat with us, also stick around through the end to hear our thoughts on the Loki season finale and Black Widow.

Continuing our Pride 2021 series, QBurgh contributor, Drew Praskovich joins us with the boldest, most original, and innovative topic ever brought by a guest. Mini-Golf. Regular golf but smaller and featuring a larger population of circus animals.

Hey friends,
A preview of things to come. While we've enjoyed producing the podcast the way we have for the last 47 episodes, something has to change, so we'll be revisiting our roots. For the month of June we'll feature several folks who do so much for the LGBTQ+ community in so many different aspects of life. Following that we'll have a rotating cast of friends to act as guests throughout the year, and are excited to host episodes talking about the stuff that's on our mind.
This week we chat about TikTok changes, horror movies, AI voices, and our plans for the future of the podcast!

If she's not enforcing the rules over at Camp Loose Leaf, or making people argue about their favorite movies at Franktuary , she can probably be found aging. It's our friend, Katie Tarara! We had a wonderful discussion about age differences and our experiences with having friends of all ages, and talk about how our generations response to events like the one we find ourselves in now is different. It was an absolute treat to sit down (virtually) with Katie and we hope you enjoy this episode.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for tuning into the first episode of "The Butch and The Bi" podcast. Please note that the format of the show has changed (most notably we have guests on each episode) and we release weekly! We really enjoyed talking about the applications of VR in film making and out obsessive music listening habits. We implore you to check out newer episodes (11 and up) to get a better feel for what our show is.
