PEW PEW PEW [insert quoteable phrase for acton figure here] KABOOM! It’s action week, kids! We’re walking beyond where the sun touches into new shadowland. Well, kinda, coz Patrick watched both of these movies quite a bit as a kid, but evidently didn’t properly take them in or appreciate them. We hit up two real classics this week with ‘Speed’ (1994) and ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ (1991), and have an absolute ball! We feed some shrimp, there’s yet another episode of Patrick’s Queer Awakenings in Cinema, and Emma decides that parody is NOT comedy, and actually being on a bus with a bomb on it is NOT a laughing matter. .

We’re slipping back in time to 1999 again this week for our second edition of 1999 Week, and our fourth edition of People’s Choice week. These two films were the third and fourth most popular choices in our polls, and make for a really wonderful pairing. ‘Magnolia’ (1999) confused and tested us with its labyrinthine 24hr plot with inter-tangled, fractured narratives, and ‘Jawbreaker’ delighted with its unique pairing of dark and camp. Both of these films SCREAM the 90s, and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. Pull up an inflatable couch, pop out a jawbreaker (or gobstopper, if your Strayan), shut the f*#k up, and don't call me lady! .

This week we hit up our master list and committed to doing two big ones that we REALLY should have seen. Two films that were wildly different. And little did we know that we’d find resonances across them both… and here we have Underdog Week. ‘Rocky’ (1976) and ‘Legally Blonde’ (2001); two films about (contextually speaking) an underdog who we have no chance but to root for as they overcome ridiculous hurdles and display incredible tenacity and discover what really matters. And for good measure, a fantastic longform version of the story of Patrick moving house, and a discussion that lingers probably a bit too long on the topic of analingus. Bon appétit! . Want to skip ahead? ‘Rocky’ starts at 0:19:20 and ‘Legally Blonde’ starts at 1:25:00. .

This is People’s Choice Week Vol. 3, but more notably the first episode in a new series we’ve started where we watch films from 1999 - one of, arguably, the greatest years of cinema. We kicked things off with a poll across all our socials of 8 films that neither of us had seen and the two that were clearly at the top of everyone’s wishlist were ‘Being John Malkovich’ (1999) and ‘Cruel Intentions’ (1999). This week we explore the metaphysical, the metaphorical and the metaphrased bastardised French pronunciation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Oh, and seamlessly (you’ll never notice) Patrick moves house in the middle of the episode with Emma’s assistance. You’ll be hearing about it forever, don’t worry. Happy lockdown Sydney friends, see you in 2 more weeks for another ep! .

We’re still in lockdown and we’re tackling two films by the great man himself this week: Steven Spielberg. Patrick has shockingly never seen  ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’ (1982) before, and neither Patrick nor Emma have seen the chilling and legendary ‘Jaws’ (1975), but this week we watch ‘em both. Of course, we can’t help but talk about Catholicism (again), Patrick gets his first ‘jab’ mid-episode, and we talk about all sorts of random shit, but this is a good one folks, we lock in to our movie nerd-dom properly this week. Both of these films command reverence and respect, what a shame we’re the two people to be trusted with such a task… (no ramen was pissed into this week). .

Well, Covid done got us again girl. We’ve been locked down, but a silly pandemic isn’t gonna get in the way of us talking shit, so we bought a second microphone, set up Emma in 3 different rooms in her house, ultimately settling on the backseat of a car as a recording studio, and struggled for 90min to get semi-podcast quality recorded conversation while in different houses. But it was WORTH IT because this week’s films were bangers, Disney’s ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ (1996) and Dreamworks’ ‘The Prince of Egypt’ (1998) - two huge vaguely religiously themed animated family features that Emma somehow missed seeing. Also, they’re musicals! Could these be more up our alley? .

“America! America! / God shed His grace on thee / And crown thy good with brotherhood / From sea to shining sea!” This week brings with it a double bill brought about by an immediate need to watch one of the selected films ahead of our visit to see ‘American Psycho: The Musical’ at the Opera House. ‘American Beauty’ (1999) has already been contextualised in Patrick’s filmic history on this podcast before, with Emma very excited to watch it for the first time, and we were both of us were thrilled for our first foray into the darkly comic ‘American Psycho’ (2000). This week, y’all, we get INTO it. The elephant in the room (rhymes with Devon Facey) is spoken about at length, and we dig a bit deeper with our analytical brains this week… we is smart. But for balance we also we talk about peeing on the floor. And peeing into ramen. Look, mates, it’s a journey, just go with it… . To skip to ‘American Beauty’ go to 0:20:56. To skip to ‘American Psycho’ go to 1:46:43. . Email: [email protected] Facebook & Instagram: @doublebeddoublebill Web: anchor.fm/doublebeddoublebill Linktree: linktr.ee/doublebeddoublebill .

We’re back! Our eyes are crystal clear and our stress levels are… well… our eyes are crystal clear! This week we entered another round of People’s Choice, watching movies you voted for on our Insta stories, and the winners were ‘Black Panther’ (2018) and ‘The Notebook’ (2004). You’re a varied and cheeky bunch, these films are quite the contrast when juxtaposed, and we love it! As well as talking about the films, we get down to talking about milkshake ducks, Veruca Salt’s father, sex in the rain, and the time a THEATRE, of all places, decided Patrick’s voice was too gay. .

This week we’re taking a short break, and revisiting a classic! Our very first episode, ‘Getting to Know You’ was released almost 8 months ago and is still our highest-rated episode! While we recover from eye surgery and the crippling pressure of producing interstate tours during a pandemic, enjoy this trip down memory lane with lil baby virgin podcasters Patrick and Emma. .

After cordially offering Emma the opportunity to discuss her two favourite movies on the podcast earlier this year, Patrick has been campaigning for the same opportunity. However, we find ourselves locked in a now-months-long fight over whether Patrick’s second favourite film ‘Synecdoche, New York’ can be discussed. The battle continues! But, in the meantime, we’re discussing two of Patrick’s almost-favourite movies, ‘Big Fish’ (2003) and 「千と千尋の神隠し」(‘Spirited Away’, 2001). Emma hasn’t seen either, or any anime ever for that matter. Things get pretty deep this week, and we talk about Emma’s eyes, storytelling, theatre etiquette, and there’s even a crash course in Japanese mythology. .

You spoke, and we listened… it’s our first People’s Choice Week! We asked you which movies you wanted us to watch via polls on our Instagram stories, and these were the two you all voted for most. ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ (2001) and ‘Fight Club’ (1999). Two very contrasting films, which we love, one from either side of the millennium. Both of these films got under our skin in different ways, and we ended up going to strange places in our dissemination of them… is human breast milk vegan? Everything is up for debate! This week we talk role models, feminism, sadomasochistic eroticism, the nutritional qualities of blue soup, and come to the conclusion that some things are better left in the last century (like glorifying workplace sexual harassment for starters…) .

Emma might try and pretend she’s one of the common folk, but the sad truth of the matter is she is deeply un-Australian. Amounting to what is effectively treason, up until this point Emma hadn’t seen the CLASSIC camp Australian films ‘Muriel’s Wedding’ (1994) and ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ (1994). Thankfully good old Guncle Pat was here to help! This week we talk Drag Race Down Under, musical theatre, confetti, ABBA, Tweed Heads and so much more. Guys, things got a bit gay this week… and we’re not even a tiny bit sorry about it. . Email: [email protected] Facebook & Instagram: @doublebeddoublebill Web: www.anchor.fm/doublebeddoublebill .
