The Edge of Seventeen (2016)

The Edge of Seventeen (2016)

We're back for Pride Month with yet another completely unrelated-to-the-holiday episode. (Only straight relationships in this movie, folks. Maybe queerer next time.) The Edge of Seventeen is an underappreciated teen coming-of-age film from the 2010s, with a compelling central character, great writing, and great acting. This was one of Maggie's picks: neither Adam nor Liz had seen it before. Guess which of one predicted the movie perfectly, and which one got it completely wrong! Even if you, like Adam and Liz, haven't seen the movie before, we promise we cover enough of the details to follow along. This one contains some hot takes on teenage depression and identity, reasonable and unreasonable reactions to a crush leading you on, and Liz's Grand Theory of Coming of Age Stories.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (2008)

May the 4th (this episode’s release date) be with you! In theme with Resting Brunch Face’s historical holiday observance patterns, here on Star Wars day we bring you, definitely not a Star Wars episode. On a podcast where we regularly revisit old favorites, Dr. Horrible offers us our greatest challenge yet. Does it hold up? Was the script ever self-aware of its own antihero? Is it an allegory for extremist politics? Do we remember all of the lyrics either way? Only one way to find out: put in those 'buds and listen. Eagle-eared fans (rabbit-eared?) will catch such highlights as Adam mispronouncing "Felicia Day" and never correcting himself, a deep-cut reference to the Sondheim musical Merrily We Roll Along, and Resting Brunch Face's first *post-credits* scene. Enjoy, and let us know what you think! Email us at show@restingbrunchface.net with any thoughts or inquiries. Please like, follow, comment, and review the show, and share with your friends!

(Bonus) Liz's Last Unicorn Synopsis

In this (very) short bonus episode, hear Liz's 3-minute primer on the plot and themes of The Last Unicorn, recorded shortly before we all watched the movie for the episode. This episode is strictly optional, but is recommended if your reaction to the full episode is "I don't know that movie, so I won't be able to follow along."

The Last Unicorn (1982)

We complete our tour of formative childhood movies for the crew by visiting Liz's all-timer, The Last Unicorn, a lesser-known but terribly interesting animated film released in 1982. (To pre-empt one question we've already received: this is not to be confused with the film "Death of a Unicorn" from 2025...very different movie! In this one, the unicorn doesn't die, and that's kind of the whole point. Themes of immortality, and so on.) Listen in, and we guarantee the nimblest of possible transitions between contemplating the pain and depths of mortal existence and discussing whether a certain flesh-colored living tree is meant to be trapping a man between a pair of breasts or a pair of balls. This is the least-known film we've covered on the show to date, but we're glad to embrace variety. We do cover key details to help you follow along, and we hope it's still a good hang.

(Bonus) March Mailbag + Twilight: New Moon

It's just like they always say: March comes in like a vampire and out like a werewolf. We were just bursting with extra content, needing to cover reactions and comments to two episodes (Jurassic Park and Heated Rivalry), plus, hey, we watched New Moon and we have some thoughts. So, here's our second bonus episode! Come for the stories behind our first PG-13 and R-rated movies, stay for the chill hangout vibes, the Canonical List of Timelessly Attractive and Non-Problematic Men, and Kirkland Signature Bulk Jorts. If you listen carefully, you'll also catch a hint of a "vampires suck" joke from Adam completely flop, to no reaction whatsoever from the other hosts, as if it never happened.
