So, we will absolutely get back to out Regularly Scheduled Schlock Content of reviewing old movies, but for now, we felt compelled to share a small portion of our holiday music collections with you. You are welcome and I'm sorry?

Some is awesome, some is terrible, some is downright mediocre. Enjoy it. Or not, whatever, we're having a blast either way. 

Happy Holidays, everyone! 

So we've done a bit of a departure (no worries, we will still honor the choice of The Vessel Of Podcast Destiny). AP has an...extensive...music collection and Boo has an...interesting...music collection, so we're sharing some of their seasonal favorites in our FIRST EVER MUSIC EPISODE. Enjoy our stupid, stupid words about Halloween music.

It's *almost* like we're making a point about...something. Enjoy!

So at the end of Season 2 (July 2022) we created the "Vessel of Podcast Destiny" so that The Universe would pick our next movie for us. It picked "Freaks". 

We recorded audio in October of 2022 and neither of us like what we said, how we said it, it was too deep and sad for us at the time, so we decided to put it on hold.

Life, stuff, things, grad school, community upendings, an engagement (Boo said yes...so we're also planning a wedding) all happened and...16months later, we're ready to start season 3. Hey, it's our podcast and we can do whatever the hell we want to with it.

So, the Vessel of Podcast Destiny picked...the 1980 fever dream "Xanadu". Enjoy our stupid, stupid words about first celebrity crushes, the logistics of playing the clarinet by the sea, the Love Boat theme song, and TWO musicals about roller skating culture of the late 70's/early 80's.

Glad to be back!!!

Season 2 FINALE, everyone!

So far on this podcast with our stupid, stupid words, we have talked about:

Beastiality (Howard the Duck)
Sex with a statue (Mannequin)
Efficient Use of Boobs (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark)

So it was really only a matter of time before Normalized Incest came up...

So here is our take on THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS, which also features a beautifully garbled Night Ranger lyric, 80's sex symbols, and a disturbing lack of monologues.

Also, the introduction of the VESSEL OF PODCAST DESTINY  is revealed, which will totally dictate our direction henceforth.

Enjoy our stupid, stupid words!

Season 2, Episode 9 - ROBOCOP.

Man, we forgot how violent this one was.  Thanks to Netflix for the LARGE assist on research by having this one included in their "Movies That Made Us" series because hoo-boy did it cause AP to go down a ratings rabbit hole.

There was a fruity "Robot Cocktail", an unnecessary jab at "Law & Order" and Boo shares a story about her constant struggle to get adult-organized after realizing that people like to give and/or send her...just...really weird stuff. 

And...we are DANGEROUSLY close to actually finishing our 2nd season and being, like, a real thing. 

Thanks for listening to our (NOT monetized) stupid, stupid words! Check us out on Facebook (Suburban Muse Podcast) or contact us (suburbanmusepodcast@gmail.com) and tell us everything we're doing wrong. We'll be polite in response, but will probably ignore it completely. Just being honest. 

Season 2, Episode 8...Meatballs (1979)

Y'all...don't watch this one. It's boring and the problematic stuff is REALLY, REALLY TERRIBLE. 

There are multiple sequels...Bill Murray managed to have a career after this...and we failed to keep the early 80's from happening. 

Summery mojito with our patio mint (that Boo managed to NOT KILL) and AP finds really random music. You know, par for the course. 

Enjoy! We have some cool shit planned for our Season 2 finale...

All right, friends. In a first, we review a new stage production of the pre-Broadway run of "Karate Kid: the Musical" that premiered here in St. Louis in the year of our Lord Twenty-Twenty-Two.

AP & Boo saw it on opening night, then AP's son (aka "The Boy" or "Abraham Lincoln") saw it a few days later with his grandma. So you get stupid, stupid words from THREE people, you lucky sons-o-guns!

We also decided to give y'all a break in terms of podcast length since the last one was AN HOUR LONG. Here's a short commentary to keep you coming back for more...

All right, friends. We went on a little unintentional hiatus. 

- End of the school year (and we still have 3 kids)
- Damned if everyone didn't get covid EXCEPT for Boo...
- AP's actual job cranked up the stress level
- Boo is changing schools, classrooms, her overall outlook
- We needed time to watch THREE John Hughes movies

The unofficial "trilogy" is:
16 Candles - 1984
Breakfast Club - 1985
Pretty in Pink - 1986

Since it's quintessential 80's nonsense, AP made a quintessential whiskey sour as our themed cocktail. Check the FB page for the recipe! Also enjoy:

- Boo gets worked up about fire safety
- AP *and* Boo share their Saturday detention stories
- AP makes Boo's mind explode with a fact about Pretty in Pink that LITERALLY CHANGES EVERYTHING

*Disclaimer: This is quite a bit more swear-y than we normally allow ourselves to be. If you are offended by f-bombs, you might skip this one. Enjoy our stupid, stupid words!
