Finally, another contemplative indie for Haley to gush over and Claire to begrudgingly admit is pretty good (if you're a sick freak who likes that sort of thing.) Happy Pride y'all! We're ringing in the gay month with Butterfly (2004), a Hong Kong film written and directed by Yan-Yan Mak, adapted from the short story by Chen Xue, and starring Josie…

In this movie, the only thing as important as the ins and outs of legal guardianship abuse is the Russian mafia. Yes, really. We're breaking our accidental 2016-streak with I Care A Lot (2020), written and directed by J Blakeson and starring Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us ou…

We watched the very American black comedy Catfight (2016), written and directed by Onur Tukel and starring Sandra Oh and Anne Heche. And, man, does this movie pack a punch (pause for laughter.) Haley falls more in love with Sandra Oh, and Claire tries to unpack this movie's worldview. Content warning for discussions of war and violence. Producers N…

Claire has been swayed to the side of quiet indies by the power of Jena Malone. This week we talked about Lovesong (2016), written and directed by So Yong Kim and starring Riley Keough and Jena Malone. Just know Haley is kicking herself for not making the walking into the woods with the woman you love and leaving knowing that you still love her but…

Damn... ladies truly are the dolls of maids. It's our Patreon pick! As voted by our patrons, this week we talked about The Handmaiden (2016), directed by Park Chan Wook and starring Kim Tae-ri and Kim Min-hee. There's a reason why there are so many academic papers published on this film. We did our best, but we are just two gays who spent two full …

This is the movie of all time. -Claire This week we watched Bottoms (2023), directed by Emma Seligman and starring Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott, and, man, we liked it a lot. If this had come out when Haley was in high school, she would have probably tried to commit it to memory. Do teens still do that? Or am I aging myself? Thank you for listenin…

Happy extraordinarily belated Lunar New Year! This week we covered Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) written and directed by The Daniels and starring Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu. Oops! Another one of Haley's favorite movies. Claire is very kind and lets her gush a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Content warning for brief mention of…

We did it! We found the movie that finally made Claire regret agreeing to this podcast, and somehow it wasn't a quiet indie! This week we watched Nina's Heavenly Delights (2006) starring Shelley Conn and Laura Fraser and directed by feminist documentarian Pratibha Parmar. We wanted a fun rom-com with a big heart and we mostly got a reminder of how …

This week we watched Bound (1996) written and directed by the Wachowski Sisters and starring Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly. Claire's love of this lesbian classic is infectious, and Haley just found out that Jennifer Tilly voiced Celia in Monster's Inc. Seriously though, do other people know that? Was I alone in the dark about this? Entertainment …

We did it. We finally covered the infamous Christmas movie that people discoursed to death three whole years ago. This week we watched Happiest Season (2020) directed by Clea DuVall and starring Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis. Interviews quoted: Rolling Stone - includes the autobiographical elements Variety - inlcudes Clea DuVall's reaction to…

After a full calendar year we are back!! We watched Blue (2002) directed by Hiroshi Ando and starring Mikako Ichikawa and Manami Konishi. What better way to celebrate the end of our hiatus than with watching a slow, but beautifully acted and shot sapphic movie that Haley loved and Claire wouldn't have watched if Haley hadn't forced her (but that sh…

LIKE THE SEATTLE F**KING SOUNDERS AND BRUCE LEE, WE ARE ENTERING THE RANCOR. How we have missed you. The Sounders sacrificed Will Bruin to Mahogany so they could play Pyramids FC’s greatest foe, and Auckland is DEFINITELY NOT in Australia. Where is Zealand, anyway?

For the final (and extraordinarily belated) episode of Super Sapphicween we watched the 2009 cult classic Jennifer’s Body, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama. This movie is doing a lot, and it's doing it very well. We tried to cover as much as we could, but it's hard to talk about the things you love, and sandbox love never dies, y…

For this episode of Super Sapphicween we watched She Creature (2001), written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez. Claire geeks out over this movie’s incredible practical effects and Haley is at peace knowing that an ooky spooky homoerotic mermaid movie exists and is good. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out …

For the second week of Super Sapphicween we watched What Keeps You Alive (2018), written and directed by Colin Minihan and starring Hannah Emily Anderson and Brittany Allen. Haley wonders if one night in the woods would make you thirsty enough to risk drinking puddle water, and Claire suffers the consequences of another movie with very generic Amer…

This episode, while Branden-less, brings back a favorite of the show, sports PR powerhouse Jose Moreno. Jose has been chirping at Gregr to get pitchside and take some photos like a real journalist. The conversation touches on a rough season from the perspective of a professional (Jose) vs that of the fan (Gregr). It's such a fun talk with the drums…

We’re kicking off Super Sapphicween with Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same (2011), directed by Madeleine Olnek. Haley shows her age by calling slang "lingo," while Claire acquires a personal vendetta against not only Jon Hamm but the streaming platform Vudu. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Ins…

Get ready for your call-up to USMNT Soccer Duty and Greg’s fightin’ Glueys. We’re waiting for the foreign Whale royalty to cough up the ambergris and start funding this podcast. Thankfully, Cristian Roldan got rid of his groin, but is he the most important player for the Seattle Sounders? Are we getting a new tattoo? We discuss. To learn more about…

Podcast start, I mean, what did we learn this week... wait we're in Florida and already feeling dumber. Rocket talk, Sounders in Orlando this week, and general central Florida dirt-baggery. Ceej believes a lot of things he'll share. Let's go! Make sure if you like this to join Tropic Sound sub-group of ECS if that's your thing. To learn more about …

The heat got to us this week, folks. Despite our melted brains, we talked about a movie that is as fantastic as it is historic. Cheryl Dunye’s 1996 film The Watermelon Woman is a must-see for any baby gay. Haley makes the case for your local library (again), while Claire has a minor existential crisis about lost media, whether it goes by way of Ado…

This week we watched The Summer of Sangaile (2015), directed by Alante Kavaite. Claire can’t abide quiet dreamy indies, meanwhile Haley needs those light up tulle dresses like a drowning man needs air. Both agree that this movie would make some killer gif sets. Content warning for discussion of self-harm and suicide. Thank you for listening! If you…

J-mo, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play. Raul, you’re an all-star get a neck tat, get paid. All that glitters is gold, only shooting Gluey will beat CONCACAF gold...

It’s been awhile, but like Raul Ruidiaz, WE’RE BACK, and not a moment too soon. The #Sounders take on the Fightin’ Debs this weekend, so of course we talked about whether Sammy the Sounder needs to be sexier like the Mariner Moose, and whether or not we need to fire Brian Schmetzer because WE haven’t won a major trophy since May. Also, someone plea…

This week we watched The Feels (2017), starring Constance Wu and Angela Trimbur. Haley was not pleased to learn (after the fact) that the entire film was improvised, and Claire has a startling moment of "recognition of the self through the other" in regards to mean improv. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out …

This week we watched Rafiki (2018), directed by Wanuri Kahiu. If you're anything like us and this movie has been on your watch list forever, bump it to the top! Claire reveled in getting to watch such a nuanced and beautifully shot film, and Haley almost went rage blind when a reviewer compared this movie to Love, Simon. Thank you for listening! If…

This week we watched The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (1995), written and directed by Maria Maggenti. This lesbian classic is a classic for a reason! Claire’s awarded it Best Lesbian Sex Scene (trophy designs are in progress), and Haley’s in love with its portrayal of earnest teenage fumbling. Thank you for listening! If you like …

This week we watched All About E (2015). No, not that E. Haley confesses her love of Tubi and its strange offerings, and Claire just wants to watch Bound already. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our Patreon. If you're looking for more sapphic films to watch, check out our Movie …

This week we watched Young and Wild (2012) directed by Marialy Rivas. Haley marvels at the absolute chokehold Shego continues to have on 90’s kids, and Claire has a bone to pick with this movie’s ending. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our Patreon. If you're looking for more sap…

This week we watched Jenny’s Wedding (2015), directed by Mary Agnes Donoghue and starring Katherine Heigl and Alexis Bledel. Claire breaks out the tin foil hat to try and figure out who this movie is for, and Haley laments how hard writing is. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our…

This week we watched 8 Women (2002), directed by François Ozon. Claire is still in mourning for the movie she thought this was going to be, and Haley says the word “baffling” more times in this episode than she ever has in her whole life. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our Patr…

Hope you're not wearing a shirt because after a month away we've got weird nipple stuff to take care of today. It's Gregr's favorite time of the soccering year and Branden's welcome back his annual mustache to celebrate! Also, pretty sure an F-bomb got by the keeper at some point... full90podcast.com to link up! To learn more about listener data an…

This week we watched Blue Gate Crossing (2002), directed by Yee Chih-yen and starring Gwei Lun-Mei and Chen Bo-lin. Claire can't believe how good this movie is, and Haley practically levitates out of her seat at someone else loving one of her favorite movies as much as she does. Our deepest apologies to our Mandarin speaking listeners, we did our b…

After a long trip to the seaside to strengthen our constitution, we're back and ready for more sapphic films! This week we watched Set It Off (1996), directed by F. Gary Gray, and starring Jada Pinkett-Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise. Haley, ever the pansy, realizes that even heist films may be too intense for her, while Cla…

Can Darth Lagerway, Schmetzer the Hutt, and Stefan Freiwalker get the job done with their second leg on Wednesday? Thank the spirit of Mike Dean for VAR in Mexico, and for the big Brad Evans energy that Nico Lodeiro was feeling from the spot. Let a former sandwich artist and a current sandwich eater break it all down for you in a definitely weekly …

Another definitely weekly look into why Nouhou is so angry and the new technology changing the landscape of professional soccer in the United States, VAR Glasses. Will Cristian Roldan need to sacrifice a migrant worker to get Gregg to play him and will Nouhou even be a Sounder by the time he plays in the 2022 World Cup? These, like almost everythin…

It's a little weird that Garth prioritizing the Cup of CONCACAF Cup means we basically field S-2 on with Leo Chu (S-Chu) but it still sorta sucks that Sounders FC have been blanked in good ol MLS play - keep in mind, still no goals on the season. Someone's got a big ol' butt, someone else with a brace, and one of us is broadcasting from a hotel roo…

Normally we wouldn't spend time talking about non-Sounders FC related material for the first 20 minutes, but this episode we made an exception. Warm up your peas for your peens for this week’s question of the week, which Pokémon is your favorite Sounder? Nouhou is making three Nouhous, and Leo Chu is basically DB Cooper. It’s finally time to soccer…

Need a reason to get excited about buildings?! What about three-legged horse skeleton mascots fighting whales in the parking lot? The Sounders play a real match this week and announced a bunch of other stuff too like a kit that looks good in pictures but not with your eyeballs. The Big Bad Nouhou Daddy returns to help the need-a-whale-in-the-crest …

Careful where you point that webcam, last thing we want is a Swiss Nouhou doing an Australian Wilson. Your never weekly look into Seattle Sounders FC is back to mourn the loss of Brad Bradsmith and talk about not disturbing the ghost spirits of some dead horses in Tukwila. Let’s hope the ancient glue burial ground gives the Sounders some good juju.…

Let us cram six weeks of missing episodes into 45 minutes of fun! The first 30 minutes might even be good... We need to know who you think has the best butt on the team #bestbutt. There's a new league for Tacoma, a new stadium for OL Reign and potentially a new home for Raul Ruidiaz. That last part sounds messed up. Anyway, we're back just in time …

We’re not in Kansas anymore, but don’t tell Raul Ruidiaz or his mother. The Sounders are playing like #HotGarbage and now Will Bruin is doin his knee surgery. The boys head north to blame Canada and show that turfboni Spencer Richey’s Boni puts it to shame. Take your SSRIs and get in here. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices…

This week we watched Lost and Delirious (2001) directed by Léa Pool. Haley puts her humanities degree to decent use, and Claire feels heavy handed symbolism in this Chili's tonight. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our Patreon. If you're looking for more sapphic films to watch, c…

And we're back! This week we watched Boy Meets Girl (2014), written and directed by Eric Schaeffer. Claire does some grade-A gumshoeing to figure out the mystery of the Daily Grace cameo, and Haley wonders if Ricky's old-fashioned Singer sewing machine could actually handle a poly blend. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you shoul…

This week we dip our toes into the Ryan Murphy-verse with The Prom (2020). Haley desperately tries to convince us she’s not a musical theater geek, and Claire won’t give James Corden a god damn break. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our Patreon. If you're looking for more sapphi…

Some things you're born with, other things are a choice - when the two come together sometimes life gets floppy. Which Sounders FC player would we most like to see as his evil Wa-twin - hint: it's not Walodeiro. Also, fun fact,: Waluigi first appeared in the year 2000. Get ready for a whole huge bag of farts you ***********s! To learn more about li…

We just can't get enough of the early 2000s! This week we watched Saving Face (2004), written and directed by the inimitable Alice Wu. Haley recounts a very bad date, and Claire dazzles us with her Greek conversational skills. Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our Patreon. If you'…

We, too, understand the difficulties of doing hard work, so we feel you, Sounders. This week, Peruvian Batman and the Junior Justice League take on Jan Jose in what definitely is not a trap game where Wondo totally won’t score in extra time.
