Bonus video - Movies I've watched lately + Updates
As promised, here's an off-the-cuff review of all the (notable) things I've watched in the last few months, plus some channel/video updates.
Sorry for some weird mic bumps in the first several minutes! Hopefully it doesn't make it too hard to listen to. I swear I wasn't just hitting my mic directly, it must have been my table moving around or something. It gets better later in the vid.

The Lifetime update reminded me of a weird realization I’d half-forgotten. For a while, I’d been certain that the “husband fakes his own death-by-kayak” movies were based on the real-life story of the Wisconsin guy who faked his own death by kayak and moved to another country, but it turned out that the real event happened years after the lifetime movies released. So what the fuck
While I've never seen Eddie & The Cruisers I feel compelled to mention that it has a sequel - Eddie & The Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! I only know about this because one of the movies that I used to watch repeatedly on VHS had a trailer for it and I saw it so often I ended up feeling a bit affectionate towards it even though I'd never even heard of the original film.
also would recommend you watch Connie and Carla if you haven't seen it already. firstly, toni colette is in it and secondly, burlesque is essentially c&c mashed up with cabaret 😭
jonathan groff of gay guy fame 😭 tbh as an old who has been following him since spring awakening and his continued friendship with lea michele i am lowkey not surprised he did that eastwood film. i celebrate his success (loved him in Merrily!) but also side eye him a bit lmfao
AND IM BACK!!! Jane, I can't emphasize how much I love your Patreon content just as much as your main stuff. You are simply too good at what you do. Genuinely, thank you so much for making such well written and high quality stuff. Now lemme start giggling.
NOT JONATHAN GROFF
"This movie could have been a little bit gayer" THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING!!!
Burlesque is literally my favorite bad movie ever, I’ve probably seen it upwards of 20 times. I’ve made all my friends watch it and we yell at the tv like rocky horror. Air rights !!
wagon wheel watusi!!
Can you drop your letterboxd username again? I'm sure it's posted on here somewhere but I haven't been able to find it (also hi stanley!!!!!)
yessss it's janemulch
Honestly, a video about Bring It On: The Musical with a tangent about the actual Bring It On movies halfway through would be kind of great.
