Half of this episode is us discussing Pacific Rim, giant robots we have known and loved, and our own personal kaiju: the podcast pod cats fighting under the bed. Then somehow nearly half of this episode is Rachel trying to describe various McElroy media to Becky. The whole thing gets PRETTY silly. There was no way… Continue reading Rachel and Becky Judge Things Episode 11: Pacific Rim

After Love, Simon we were still in the mood for some happy queer media, so we decided to give Netflix’s Queer Eye a try. You might not think we need a Queer Eye revival in 2018, but you’d be wrong.

Finally, some gay media that made us cry in a good way. Our hearts are full after watching Love, Simon in a theater full of applauding #teens and a movie with family, friends, and teachers who might actually exist in the real world. Did we enjoy the movie? Spoiler: we LOVED it.

Will Rachel ever be free of the curse of watching things about superheroes? We watched Hulu’s Marvel’s Runaways and discussed yet more conspiracy logistics, sexy murders, and cool teen outfits.

Or possibly The Christmas Prince?? Sure, it seems like the wrong season to talk about a Christmas movie, except that neither of us celebrate Christmas, so isn’t it always the time to talk about Christmas?? (PS — the show title Rachel couldn’t remember was Unreal. Unreal is great!) Find us at @randbjudgepod or email us… Continue reading Episode Four: A Christmas Prince
