Episode 47: Wonder Woman 1984

Posted on January 28, 2021 by The Screen Tea Podcast

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Lisha and Jules not only watched Wonder Woman 1984 twice, but also recorded this episode TWICE (they finally experienced every podcaster’s nightmare: the IMMEDIATE LOSS OF TWO HOURS OF WORK) so that you could listen to them get angry over a really, terribly written movie. So, they’re pleading with you: ENJOY. PLEASE. THAT’S THEIR WISH AND THEY WON’T RENOUNCE IT. WELL SHIT, DIANA.

Episode 46: Howl’s Moving Castle

Posted on January 14, 2021 by The Screen Tea Podcast

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Stoke Calcifer and put on the kettle, Lisha and Jules are rounding out a month of animated films with Hayao Miyazaki’s 2004 fantasy adventure film, Howl’s Moving Castle! Listen up as Lisha goes on a tirade against weird love stories while simultaneously loving on a fire-demon, as Jules pokes at some writing issues and salivates over beautiful animation, and both of your hosts lament over how the titular character is really just a lil punk. It’s a bit of a rickety ride, but just push play and let Turnip-Head lead the way!

Special Episode 45: Hamilton

Posted on December 31, 2020 by The Screen Tea Podcast

Welcome to a special episode of Screen Tea Podcast! She did it: Jules won spouse of the year and gifted Lisha the chance to cover her favorite on-screen media of all time, 2020’s film release of Thomas Kail and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton! Grab a Sam Adams (spoiler alert: Lisha had a few during this recording) and listen as your hosts give their impressions of the hit Broadway musical, track-by-track! Lisha unlocks a level of fangirling you’ve never quite heard before, mostly over Aaron Burr (and with that, a new level of swearing: this is not a Disney-appropriate episode, folks!), Jules reveals how helpless she really is over Phillipa Soo/Eliza (and just how much she doesn’t appreciate Lin-Manuel Miranda’s cry-singing), and both of your podcasters have a lot to say about Chris Jackson’s eyebrows. Come ring out the hellyear that was 2020 and ring in the new year with us, folks, and raise a glass!

Sources for information gathered for this episode were: http://www.wikipedia.org, Hamilton: The Revolution by Jeremy McCarter and Lin-Manuel Miranda (Book), https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a33276038/hamilton-eliza-gasp-meaning-ending-explained/, The Hamilcast: A Hamilton Podcast (episodes 225 + 226), and the hours and hours of cast interviews that live in our heads rent free.

Posted on December 28, 2020 by The Screen Tea Podcast

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Don’t adjust your screens or your speakers: this week for animated movie month, Lisha & Jules are covering the insanely multi-faceted, visual/audio masterpiece, 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Web yourself into a cozy corner and listen up as Lisha discusses the importance of Miles Morales, character dynamics, and manages to reference vines somehow, as Jules gives the deets about the many feats of animation and pledges her moral allegiances to all Spider-People, and as both of your podcasters lament about just how much they relate to Human Disaster Peter B. Parker. As a bonus treat, we have a special recording included in the show provided by Hogey from the amazing podcast I Can Marvel All Day, where he discusses ties between this film and the MCU, unabashedly makes an episode request, and summarizes the most important question of all: how did they make this movie look so goddamn awesome?

Mangles the French language and 2.

Posted on December 28, 2020 by The Screen Tea Podcast

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Please get cozy with whatever warm beverage brings you the most comfort, because for their first ever animated film episode, Lisha and Jules have chosen possibly one of the most heart-wrenching animated films created to date: Travis Knight’s 2016 masterpiece, Kubo and the Two Strings! Settle in with some loved ones and listen as Lisha explains exactly why Kubo ranks amongst her top nine films of all time (yeah, top nine, she knows what she said), hear Jules struggle to come to terms with her feelings about Beetle/Beatles while being smart about animation, and get a healthy dose of your podcasters getting annoyed about precisely ONE THING about this movie, really (can we maybe not whitewash roles? Guys? Hello?). Don’t blink; there’s lots of story here, in the first episode of an all-animated movie month!

Episode 40: Paterson

Posted on November 20, 2020 by The Screen Tea Podcast

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Whether you plan on grabbing a pint at the bar, or sipping tea from a black and white spotted mug, get comfortable and prepare to be soothed (actually, not likely) by the dulcet tones (ha!) of your podcasters as they cover Jim Jarmusch’s poetic masterpiece, 2016’s Paterson! Be lulled by Lisha as she pines over a fictional bus driver and laments the fact that he’s, you know, FICTIONAL, don’t be put off by the fact that Jules might use this film as a hypnotic sleep device in the future, and join your hosts as they both compose stanzas praising Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani… and yes, Nellie the dog. It might seem like a slow burning episode this week folks, but no need to fear: we’re here to bastardize any semblance of intellectual discussion about this week’s beautiful film, so pull up a seat on the bus and join the conversation!

Not to worry, folks; there’s plenty of love, laughs, and chemistry at the table (and in the film) this week to carry us all through, so sit down and plug in!
