The Juiciest Bits

Siblings or Dating?: Crimson Peak

Hi there, and welcome to our last Guillermo del Toro episode! Today, we're talking about Crimson Peak (2015), a love letter to gothic horror and a real romp if you love creepy yet helpful ghosts, weird siblings, naive blondes, and tiny Victorian sunglasses. We both love gothic horror, so we have a lot to say about this text. Hope you enjoy it!

Gone Fishin': The Shape of Water

Well, hi there! Welcome to our third episode on Guillermo del Toro's work. This week, we're talking about The Shape of Water, a 2017 film that received just a ton of accolades, including Oscars for best picture and best director. Please enjoy our very silly attempts to read the film closely--maybe too closely. Thanks for listening!

Eyeball Stigmata: Pan's Labyrinth

Hello hello! This week, we're talking about Pan's Labyrinth, an objectively great movie that Charlie thinks is also a bummer. While they're not wrong, Mandy argues that it is also a beautiful film with lots to think about. We have a good discussion about it, though, so don't worry! As always, feel free to give us a great rating. We'd appreciate it!

He Licks the Floor: Cronos

Hello and welcome to our new series on the films of Guillermo del Toro! Today, we're kicking things off with Cronos, baby GDT's first feature featuring baby Ron Perlman (who sports a sharkskin suit and a helmety mullet). We'll talk about vampire movies, heartwarming moments, and licking blood off a public bathroom floor. As always, please rate and review us (in a good way, not a bad way), and feel free to reach out at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com. Also, let us know if Mandy should watch Pinocchio and/or Charlie should watch Frankenstein!

Alexandria the Great: The Fall

Hello, we're back! Happy new year! Today, we're finishing our Tarsem Singh series with The Fall, which is a VERY different movie than the others we've discussed. Seriously, this one is really good, not least because of Catinca Untaru, who plays Alexandria, and Lee Pace, who plays Roy. The chemistry (platonic) between these two is incredible, and Untaru should have won ALL the awards. It's not often we have a hard time making fun of something, but this might be one of those times. Please remember to give us a 5-star review! Also, email us if you want to. We're at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com.
