The Friend 'Ship

Episode 9 - Jane the Virgin, or, No Awkward Nacho Puns Here

In a conversation about the CW series Jane the Virgin, Cate and Alex wonder how many people actually have secret siblings, chat about navigating the dynamics of multi-generational and bilingual households, and share tips for keeping cool in the Miami heat (apparently heels are a must). The theme music is "I Wanna Be Your Man" by The Lineup; check them out at thelineup.bandcamp.com.

Episode 8 - The Great Escape, or, Historical Accuracy Can Fuck Itself

In a wide-ranging discussion of John Sturges' classic The Great Escape, Cate and Alex discuss questions of historical accuracy, Steve McQueen's on-set antics, and Alex's inability to watch World War II movies without thinking about the Holocaust. Cate's hot takes on popular mustaches of the 1930s also make an appearance. The theme music is "I Wanna Be Your Man" by The Lineup; check them out at thelineup.bandcamp.com.

Episode 7 - A Whole New Level Of Crazy Mental Exercise

Alex and Cate have a Martin McDonagh extravaganza, discussing the writer/director's 2008 film In Bruges and his 2012 follow-up, Seven Psychopaths. Topics of conversation include the afterlife, the Vietnam war, well-rounded female characters, and Bonny the Dog.
