16 - Sláinte don Neamhghnách Saol - The Matchmaker (1997), Waking Ned Devine (1998), In Bruges (2008)

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 06:05:06 -0500

So what if St. Patrick’s Day is already over? Isn’t the rule that the whole week gets to be birthday week? Wait is that not what St. Pat’s is - Ireland’s birthday?! Jk jk all the Guiness is gone so we had to craic open the Paddy’s and things have gone considerably off the rails.

Aileen & Nicole keep things moving, though, with a feisty discussion about The Matchmaker, Waking Ned Devine and In Bruges. Watch out now because there are A LOT of FMKs for three decidedly un-horny movies. But let’s be real, Ralph Fiennes could get it anytime amirite? Ahh, this is fun. Come join in the fun and cheers to the absurdity of life, mates.

15 - Hell Hath No Fury - Jennifer's Body (2009), Honeymoon (2014), The Hurt Locker (2008)

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 03:43:42 -0600

Bitchy friends. Bad spouses. Bombs everywhere. Each its own uniquely hellish landscape that has, at one point or another, been analyzed painstakingly so as to be broken down and then crafted into the most enjoyably digestible entertainment. Who the heck can multi-task like that?! Women, that’s who! Probably some other people, too, but today’s class is about women and the films they direct.

Aileen and Nicole are back to basics with the ~classic~ three film format this week, each having assigned a first watch to the other and the third choice being a first watch for them both. What a blast amirite! Now find a super comfy seat to settle into for lots of chitter chat about Jennifer’s Body, Honeymoon and The Hurt Locker.

14 - Best in Showing Us She Was the Best: A Tribute to Catherine O'Hara

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 02:00:00 -0600

If your favorite film is Ahhhhhviator and you know just how much ~*God loves a terrier*~ then this is the Hear Me Out! episode for you. Whether you’re here for Cookie, Sally, Kate or Moira, there is absolutely no shortage of delectable activities for whatever your proclivities.

So grab your headphones and listen up, ya filthy animals, it’s been a rocky road to (Dublin) get here but Catherine O’Hara is worth it! You cutie pie listeners are worth it! The hard work will always be worth it, Alexahhs!

Please Excuse Our Mess

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 02:49:59 -0600

Hey friends! Due to technical difficulties, our Catherine O’Hara episode is ever so slightly delayed until next Friday. We’re back on track after that so it’s a one-two hit with a celebration of female directors the following week. What a time to be alive, things are nuts but we sure do love ya. Everyone get some sleep and we’ll see you next Friday❤️

13 - Mel Brooks, 99 Years of Rising Below Vulgarity

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 02:00:00 -0600

Men in tights! Interracial friendships! Sexually liberated women! Satire in the face of fascism! For almost a century, Mel Brooks has been delightfully sticking it to The Man with his trademark blend of slapstick comedy and social commentary. Love that for him.

In an episode that is on brand with the meshugaas of Brooks’ work, Aileen and Nicole go slightly off the rails while discussing his filmography, personal life and an exciting discovery about youngest son Max Brooks’ career path. There’s also a brand new, obnoxious round of Trapped in a Car plus everyone’s favorite segment, Blimpets, so hop on any ole blazing saddle you can find and head on down to the show. Yeehaw!

Oh, and one last thing - FUCK ICE.

12 - All Hail 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) & Aileen's Birthday!

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:19:58 -0600

Join the likes of Nigel Tufnel and Dr. Ian Kelson, turn this episode up to 11 and get ready to RAAAGE with Aileen and Nicole as they celebrate the greatest horror movie of 2026 (and of all time??), Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. They address the minor controversy surrounding one of the film makers’ character inspirations but spend most of the time gushing. It’s a really good movie, you guys.

Following the discussion, it’s a full-blown celebration of the spectacular Aileen herself who had a birthday this week! Find out fun birthday facts about January 21st and the Aquarius zodiac sign, followed by a steamy activity Nicole whipped up as a special surprise.

11 - Top 10 Blimpets 2025

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 02:00:00 -0600

Last year will, of course, be most remembered for introducing Blimpets to the world. Those delicious, delectable, delightful bits and baubles that make life worth living, make the good fight worth fighting!! Lol jk 2025 was crazy as hell. But while the last twelve months might have been super bizarre and often scary, indulging in Blimpets wherever possible certainly made things more fun.

In this first episode of the new year, Aileen and Nicole each count down ten of their favorite things from 2025. From movies and shows to activities and even people, hear what they have to say about the things that added a sprinkle of joy to their lives.

10 - 🎼🎶Do Yule Hear What I Hear? A Sol, A Sol Burning in the Night🎶🎼

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 02:31:18 -0600

Happy Nothing, Professors! It’s that joyous time of year again so grab the eggnog, nosh some grub and prepare the sacrifices while We (royal) settle in to celebrate a little bit of everything on this week’s episode.

Ever wonder how many deities were born on December 25th? Or which holiday myths have been holding humanity hostage in a world of lies? What would an ideal casting of A Christmas Carol look like or did The Muppets execute it perfectly, no notes? All these mysteries unveiled plus so, so much more as Aileen & Nicole explore the world of winter solstice folklore, modern iterations of long-standing pagan traditions and try not to upset Krampus too much. But maybe a little. There’s just something about him…

9 - Movies with Which to Be Laid to Rest

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 02:00:00 -0600

LOOK OUT! It’s only Movies with Which to be Laid to Rest!

Alas, we have passed. Just kidding, no passing away for us! But stay tuned in right here to find out how if we had, what we’d bring to watch if we did, the things that shaped us before we do and which films we’re enjoying the most while we don’t. Pretty sure everything is over anyway since there’s an opinion rift re: Terminator 2 Judgement Day.

8 - Get Stuffed - Home For The Holidays (1995), The Ice Storm (1997), A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0600

Stuff your ears with the delicious sounds of a friendly post-Turkey Day decompression. Or maybe all the madness that comes with the (*illegally obtained) holiday territory will erupt forth from you like a boiled gravy, amping you up in the name of truth and justice everywhere, consequently leading to you cleaning the grout with a toothbrush. Nothin’ left to do but listen and find out, ya turkeys!

Plenty more puns and LOLs where that came from on this week’s episode when Aileen and Nicole dig into the uniquely American tradition that is the celebration of The Alliance Feast, otherwise known as Thanksgiving! Home for the Holidays, The Ice Storm and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving each take a look at the day from a different perspective while sharing some surprising similarities. Kinda just like family, huh? There are also mentions of cats and tons of themed games so dig in already, friends!!

Settle into the mezzanine for this Spectacular Spectacular, monoplacular, follow my vernacular, extra miracular musical spectacular podcast show! TLDR Cats sucks.

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0500

Get HALLOWEEN EXXXTREME with Aileen and Nicole this week while they cover as much creepy crawly territory possible. Beginning with their fave festive flick picks, things eventually spiral into depravity and madness with unhinged FMKs, sassy little slideshows and enough blasphemy to shock Mr. LaVey himself. Listen closely, though, because there just might be a sweet little summary of how their friendship began tucked in amongst the chaos. Grab plenty o’ candy snacks cuz these birds sure went for it this time innit?!

5 - It's Scotty Landes!! - Jaws (1975), Silence of the Lambs (1991), Scream (1996), 28 Days Later (2002), The Descent (2005), Hereditary (2018)

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0500

On this week's episode, Aileen and Nicole are joined by special guest, screenwriter, podcast host, and all-around really cool dude, Scotty Landes! He did not disappoint when he supplied a perfect list of some of his favorite freaky films spanning the decades. Listen as the ladies eventually figure out how to talk to a famous person and find out which horror trope scares these three more than anything else: will they choose to swim in shark-infested waters, hang out in narrow underground tunnels or take their chances against an enraged psycho killer? Which movie do YOU think would make the perfect amusement park ride? Keep your head on straight, this one is a doozy!

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0500

Eat the rich, ignore government protocols, save the adorable kids. Those are the directives on this week’s episode as Aileen and Nicole take the deepest dive yet into communication failures with Train to Busan, The Host and The Night Eats the World. Could it be possible that the most disgusting FMK of all time is buried somewhere deep within? Could it also be possible that overarching authority is the spookiest monster of all? Happy October!!

3 - The Co Bros Episode - Raising Arizona (1987) O Bother, Where Art Thou? (2000) Burn After Reading (2008)

Aileen Kirk and Nicole Madden — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0500

It’s all fun and games on this week’s episode as Aileen and Nicole dive head first into the Coen Brothers. The worlds within Raising Arizona, O Brother, Where Art Thou and Burn After Reading prove fruitful territory for FMKs, character superlatives and much more. Please agree that Osborne Cox should not adopt a dog…
