The Sneople are just three queer nerds who grew up at the beginning of the digital era of fandom and are here to offer a fresh take on what movies mean to them, what it means to be represented in cinema as a queer person and who should win Best Picture this year.
There’s no Ezra this week, beloved listeners, so Helena and Matty decided to use this time to catch up on what we’ve seen in a very long overdue What We Sneep episode! Matty goes first (as they have less to cover, per usual), which includes covering their month of renting multiple dvds before watching two movies back to back that were so bad they just stopped watching movies full stop. They also…
Quick everyone, imagine John Cena’s entrance theme in your mind. Got it playing? Great, because we’re pulling a Remake Rumble out of the Hiatus Vault - this week, it’s time for a three way match covering all things Magnificent Seven! This episode covers the Akira Kurosawa’s original Seven Samurai (1954), The Magnificent Seven (1960), and The Magnificent Seven (2016), as well as a brief detour into…
This week we have an episode out of the Hiatus Vaults, beloved listeners - episodes recorded during our hiatus that were never published. This one is in homage to the late great Robert Redford, recorded shortly after he passed away last year. After a very old What We Sneep, the Sneople go over his career in depth, including their personal favorites and their dads’ personal favorites (thanks, dads…
Welcome back, beloved listeners! It’s been an odd several months for the Sneople schedule, but we are back on track - you know there was no way we were gonna miss the Helena Awards! We skip What We Sneep this episode to get right into the action - there is a 44 slide presentation to get through, and a lot of new fun categories to unpack. There’s some old classics (looking at you, Tex Avery Awooga…
It’s been a while since we’ve done an Unusual Double Feature, one of our favorite episode themes, so we are long overdue! This time though, it feels a little less unusual and a little more like a movie blind date - this week, we’re pairing up Sunshine (2007) and Event Horizon (1997)! This is more of a blind date because, like many couples who get set up by other people, these movies seem very…
This week on Sneople, the Sneople cover a genre proves a little tricky to define, spans movies, tv, books, and comics, and incites an argument (or two) amongst our hosts - Urban Fantasy! This episode starts, as many do, with definitions - what exactly makes an urban fantasy movie, and how is it different from straight up monster movies or something with fantasy elements that takes place in modern…
Long delayed but also long in the making, this week the Sneople are finally doing a David Lynch memorial episode! Helena and Matty go a little off the deep end this episode (as they do every episode they’re left to their own devices), covering Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Dune (obviously) and so so much more. Warning, this episode is full of…
This week is a (sort of?) somber episode, beloved listeners - we’ve recorded an homage to the life and career of Val Kilmer, an actor who had a big impact on all of the Sneople. From Top Gun to Batman Forever, Willow to Tombstone, and of course Heat to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the Sneople go through several films featuring Val Kilmer and the many many highlights in his work. Like any of our in…
