  • Alexandria the Great: The Fall
    Feb 14 2026

    Hello, we're back! Happy new year!

    Today, we're finishing our Tarsem Singh series with The Fall, which is a VERY different movie than the others we've discussed. Seriously, this one is really good, not least because of Catinca Untaru, who plays Alexandria, and Lee Pace, who plays Roy. The chemistry (platonic) between these two is incredible, and Untaru should have won ALL the awards. It's not often we have a hard time making fun of something, but this might be one of those times.

    Please remember to give us a 5-star review! Also, email us if you want to. We're at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com.

  • Hash of the Titans: Immortals
    Dec 13 2025

    Well, hello! We're in the midst of our Tarsem Singh-a-thon, and today we bring you a discussion of Immortals (2011), a very silly sword and sandal film about Theseus and Phaedra (sort of) and their interactions with a monomaniacal king, random characters of Greek myth, and the gods, who are never quite sure what they want. Oh, and HATS. This movie is honestly mostly nonsense, but it looks great.

    Also, this is our last episode before the holidays, so have a cozy end-of-December, and we'll ring in the new year (late, probably) with an episode about The Fall (2006).

    As always, rate, review, and email us if you want to!

  • Killing your inner child never looked so stylish: The Cell
    Nov 22 2025

    Hi everyone! This episode marks the beginning of a new series! For the next few episodes we're going to talk about Tarsem Singh's feature film oeuvre (it is not large). This week, we're talking about The Cell, a 2000 fever dream starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D'Onofrio, and others whose names we can't remember right now. Did this movie deserve the criticism it got? Yes. But it looks pretty!

    If you are at all inclined, please rate and review us. Also, feel free to get in touch at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com.
