It only took us until season thirteen, but bros, strap in, because we're FINALLY doing a Coen Brothers movie!!

Bros... how YOU doin'?
On today's ep, we're talking the WORST cinema pick-up lines in all of celluloid history! From ferris-wheel-related guiltings to copious use of the word "heinie", there are MANY to choose from! Along the way, we discuss our toxic flirting preferences, John Cusack's ability to out-charm a bad script, and the absolutely impossible task of making body parts sound sexy.
What's your fave/least fave pick-up line? Let us know in the comments!

DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989)

Monday Sep 01, 2025

Monday Sep 01, 2025

O BROS, MY BROS! Happy first of September! We're kicking off the school year with a back-to-school CLASSIC, all about seizing the day, playing bongos in caves, and adoring Robin Williams with every fibre of one's soul: Dead Poets Society!
Along the way we discuss the behind the scenes drama between Williams and a potential director, the existential dread that 80's synth can cause, and, of course, the abject deliciousness of words!
If you need help with mental health and do not know where to start, head to NAMI -- the largest grassroots mental health organization, which can help you find resources, understand conditions better, and connect you with fellow human beings who can genuinely help and support.
And if you are looking to start therapy (woo!), head to Psychology Today for a comprehensive, user-friendly search to find the right practitioner for YOU.
None of this is sponsored. We just genuinely love you and want to make sure everyone has access to help if it is ever, ever needed <3
