"In a hovel in Berlin above a bank of trash bins, there lived two podcasters. The apartment wasn't a damp, rundown "altbau" filled with unemployed DJs from Spain, nor was it a charmless over-designed architectural nightmare for tech bros and their adaptogen meal replacements: it was a Millennial Spinster hovel, and that means comfort."

(Why yes, one of the Spinsters adapted the first lines of The Hobbit for this description. Thanks for noticing!)

In all seriousness, the first Hobbit movie is a real cinematic disaster. The film follows Bilbo as he gets gaslit and bullied into going on an adventure to help get his future boyfriend's "throne under the mountain" back from a literal actual dragon.

Along the way, the tone continuously shifts from goofy to bone-crushing, slamming the audience from one extreme to another like an emotional ping pong ball throughout the 2 hour and 40 minute runtime. Watching it is a nauseating experience and oh my GOD has there ever been any movie with more exposition (visual or otherwise)??

The only respite seems to be the rugged beauty of the king dwarf, Thorin Oakenshield (aka daddy, aka daddy dwarf, aka Daddy Dwarf I'd Like to F#$k, aka DDILF).

Or you can keep yourself going by enjoying the delicate features of the only dwarf in the cast with cute bangs and literally zero dwarfish facial or puffy hand prosthetics who ends up being in the world's worst love triangle in the next 2 movies. Whatever floats your boat.

[Also spoilers, but the Spinsters will be watching ALL the Hobbit movies back to back to back in the coming weeks because they make terrible choices and feel like changing the rules they never established for this podcast. Hope you stay tuned for part 2 and 3 in the next weeks or else none of this will have been worth it :D Enjoy! ]

As with all our episodes, you don't need to watch the movie to understand or enjoy this episode. But if you do end up watching, please don't hold it against us.

Hey, friends. It's been a while, but the pod is back after a very unplanned hiatus! The Spinsters have moved on up to a new apartment (ironically, to one that has a view of an entire bank of trash recepticals) but before they left the room where this podcast started, they recorded one last episode like 2 days before their move and boy oh boy is it chaotic! And full of snakes!

That's right, this week's episode is the first Anaconda film from 1997. This one follows the angelic baby-faced Jenifer Lopez as she tries to make a... documentary? About an indigenous tribe? But then John Voigt and some big ol' goofy "anaconda" snakes and Jon Voight faces happen? Who knows, really. Plot doesn't seem to be a main motivation for this movie (unlike SNAKES and WEIRD JON VOIGHT FACES).

Our recommendation: grab some snaks and strap in for some ridiculous snek content.

It's minisode time, y'all! This week the Millennial Spinsters are dishing you out just a smol taste of content because they're moving and stressed the fuck out this week.

While this episode may be mini, it really delivers on the cuckoo bananas content you've come to expect from the Spinsters.

Highlight include:

• A Spinster's first taste of US American commercials for medications
• Paint-by-numbers apps for ADD

Though to be honest, the star of the show here is really the new pod-within-a-pod: The Breakdown. It's a special segment wherein the Spinsters discuss celebrities they think they could physically and/or mentally destroy and how (don't worry they're both TOTALLY FINE AND NORMAL PEOPLE WITH NO INTIMACY AND/OR TRUST ISSUES AT ALL :D).

The first round of victims are:

• Domhnall Gleeson
• Paul Rust (the guy from Love whose name they forgot)
• Jay Baruchel
• Seth Rogan
• James Franco
• Jason Segal
• Owen Wilson
• Tom Cruise
