  • Itty Bitty Niche: Bar Rescue
    Apr 28 2025

    OUR FIRST INSTALLMENT OF ITTY BITTY NICHE. These minisodes have the same razzle dazzle as your usual full-length A Bit Niche episodes and, in many instances, will be the same length as a regular episode (we cannot shut up). So it's the same, but different.

    For the first minisode, Max shares one of his favorite shows, Bar Rescue, hosted by the king himself, Jon Taffer. We hope you watch this podcast episode on Spotify Video or YouTube for the full experience and to see the clips we discuss.

  • Ever After: Our First Listener’s Choice!
    Mar 31 2025

    Thank you to Monica for selecting our first Listener’s Choice film! In this episode, we explore the enchanting world of Ever After: A Cinderella Story. The movie that proves Cinderella doesn’t need a fairy godmother (unless it’s Leonardo DaVinci)… or a man. Forget fairy tales—we’re here for a Cinderella who serves looks and delivers one-liners sharp enough to cut glass [slippers].

  • Valentine’s Day: Prequel to Queen Latifah's "The Equalizer"
    Feb 17 2025

    Today, we celebrate love by diving deep into the 2010 romantic comedy, Valentine's Day! Although we didn’t love this film, we enjoyed discussing the one million story lines. We could have used more of George Lopez and Queen Latifah though. Things really get interesting when we discuss our personal Valentine’s Day experiences– incredible gifts, break ups, and… jail time?!
