You know all those big gaps of time we’ve had between episodes?? Well, this is one of the many reasons why! Give this article about our upcoming movie Compression a read, and make sure to follow on Instagram for updates!! 🤩

We bout to get sleazy up in heeeeeeeeeeere!!! Cominatcha with a THIRD bonus VD episode to close out this holiday month. Why? CAUSE IT'S OUR SHOW AND WE DO WHAT WE WANT (and also triples... triples is best). L**e up as Jake shows Emily this saucy classic that unabashedly lives in the gutter, Wild Things! In addition to Jake's eternal unwavering crush on Denise Richards, we also talk about Arthur, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men, The Prince of Egypt, The Coen Brothers, Never Let Me Go (we brought it full circle!), Game of Thrones, and a bunch of other things that have nothing to do with this cinematic slice of s*xiness (and YES we did watch the Unrated version... DUH). Thought all the twists and turns this bit of filmic fast food tosses us, one thing is for sure: all the weird s*** definitely happens in Florida. So strap on, er, I mean in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🍹🍹

GET READY FOR A VALENTINES DAY DOUBLE DROP, MY DUDES!! 😍

Cominatcha with the first of our holiday-themed episodes for VD 2023!!! Join us as Emily watches a film that quietly/not-so-quietly breaks Jake every time he sees it - Mark Romanek's masterpiece (I said what I said), Never Let Me Go. As per usual our conversation goes all over the place and we have tangents galore, including topics not limited to: Stephen King, Werner Herzog, Michael Bay, Star Wars, Cabaret, Mike Flanagan, Checkhov, My Chemical Romance, Silversun Pickups, The Strokes, The Great British Baking Show, The Shape of Water, and more... including more Werner Herzog. What does ANY OF THIS have to do with the film we watched? Hell I don't remember, we just recorded the damn thing and then put it out for y'all. Clickity-click the play button to find out and enjoy!!! STAY TUNED for more VD-themed deep dives coming up next. To tease, on deck: we've got another sad one that is one of the films Jake was most excited to cover the second we created this show, and a super sleazy one. Sorry Hallmark crowd, no happy romcoms on our show this year 🙂
So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🥂❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!! Jake FINALLY gets Emily to sit down and watch Ridley Scott's gloriously epic sword-and-sandal masterpiece, Gladiator! Step into the arena with us and find out if Emily digs this one half as much as Jake does. Does Jake cry? Probably. Does Emily? NO (how dare she). Pour yourself some ancient wine or mead or whatever and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers!
**We actually recorded this episode a LONG time ago... like back in 2021 and it's sat on the shelf for a minute... so enjoy this episode that's a blast from the past for us, but ALL NEW FOR YOU!

Emily and Jake have been busy. Too busy to podcast. Which is both cool and lame. So we decided to have some fun and just do a freeform ramble episode. Join us as we look back at the past several months and discuss the epic movie lineup that happened at our Halloween Horror Month / Halloween Horror Dork-A-Thon, our favorites/best films and series of 2022, Stephen King, MultiVersus, the great Nicolas Cage Prison Break Quadrilogy and the theory of the NCU, Emily's spiffy new water bottle, playing Edward Fortyhands, and all the creative endeavors that have stolen our time away from you. It's always good to be back!!!
So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers!

[LATERGRAM!] It’s finally time to take Emily on this journey. Jake mostly worships the ground del Toro walks on. Pan’s Labyrinth is a straight up banger of a masterpiece. You knew this was gonna happen eventually. Enjoy our spooky offering for this, the greatest time of the year. HAPPY HALLOWEEN YOU SPOOKY B*TCHES!!! 
So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers!

Pop quiz, hot shot! Emily has never seen Speed. You have a movie podcast. What do you do? WHAT. DO. YOU. DO? Well duh, you show Emily f***ing Speed!!! Oh man do we have fun with this quintessential 90s action masterpiece. Press the pedal through the floor and stay above 50 mph as you join us for a heap of summer fun as we fix the fact that Emily has blinders on to the world (okay, okay I'll stop quoting Dennis Hopper's utterly infectious scenery-chewing performance now). Honestly though, you should feel sorry for Emily because she's at the whim of a madman (yeah, sorry I totally lied) here on this whirlwind discussion which culminates in our making a pitch for possibly the greatest sequel crossover ever conceptualized. Curious? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT NOW!!! So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers!

OPE IT’S A DOUBLE DROP DAAAAY!!!!

We originally planned to drop this episode for the 4th of July but yo' boi and gurl caught tha 'vid and were laid up sick for awhile. Thankfully we're on the other side and doing much better, and so you get this belated holiday special. Also Jakob had a birthday since then so we decided to officially kick off summer movie season (belated, AGAIN) and are aiming to bring you all some rad up and coming episodes! Figured it was time to rip the band-aid and show Emily one of Jake's favorite comedies (a genre we haven't tackled much on the show): Team America: World Police! Also special s*xy bonus guest Daniel Moser is in the house as we all profess our love for Trey Parker & Matt Stone ! Never did I expect that we'd be diving into real/deep talks when discussing a movie that has super graphic puppet s*x but here we are. Listen to us rant about string based eroticism, political correctness/incorrectness, and more often than you'd think - Bo Burnham and Stephen Sondheim (seriously). What better way to celebrate this holiday than with this scathing satirical masterpiece! So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers!

What the hell are rules anyway? Oh man... This one was a bit of a risky bet. Jakob knows that EVENTUALLY he will show Emily something he loves that she doesn't dig (it has definitely happened before). The Rules of Attraction was in the "yeah this might not go so well" column of options for us to do an episode on. Will this be the one that breaks Emily? Will Jake ever get over that shot of Jessica Biel dancing in the hallway? Do we need @$$holes on our elbows? Join us on our unexpectedly (and traditionally tangent-laden) deep dive of this slice of collegiate debauchery from the early 2000s! So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🍻

Oh hi friends!!

It’s your friendly neighborhood Emily! As per usual, Jake and I have a million plates spinning in the air right now, but I promise you we are not dead! Our creative brains have ADHD (ok well each of our whole brains has ADHD likely) but we miss you and you might be missing us too? Yeah? FEAR NOT! We plan to podcast at you again very soon!

Okay love you all, byeeeeee!
Xoxo 💋 J&E

Your friendly neighborhood Feels Like the First Time duo are putting on their acting hats! Our local philharmonic has a concert for youth this week— Emily plays an aspiring filmmaker and Jake is composing music for her latest screenplay… the only problem is that Jake has never written music for an orchestra before! We are having a lot of fun with our friends at Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra while we flex our nerdy muscles and geek out over the music of John Williams!

14/03/2022

Time to cry! Or at least, it's time for Jake to cry. A lot. This is one of his go-to films for a guaranteed broken heart. Will Emily be a blubbering emotional wreck by the time the credits roll too? Or will she prove to be probably dead inside and not feel all the feels? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT as we watch and ramble about Vanilla Sky! We managed to cram a lot of discussion into a much quicker runtime than Jake originally anticipated for this one. So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🍦🍦

Ohhhhhhhhh man did we have fun watching this movie and recording this episode! This has been very high on the "I can't wait to show Emily this one" list for Jakob since the inception of our show. Tune in and join us as we talk about p**n! Or rather, the p**n industry... Or, well not really so much that as we just hella vibe on Paul Thomas Anderson's seminal classic, Boogie Nights, which just so happens to be set amidst the 70s-80s p**n industry. Yadda yadda yadda, Mark Wahlberg has a huge talent. YOU KNOW THE FILM, DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T! This episode comes with that s*xy TK421 modification (feel that bass!) as our discussion spreads wider than the performers in this uniquely dark, disquietingly provocative, highly influential masterpiece (translation: as usual, our talks are all over the place here). So *spins dramatically like Jennifer Love Hewitt* WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?! (Yay old episode shout out!) Clickity click with the play button and enjoy our dive that goes oh-so-deep (okay, I'm done with the innuendos, pls forgive). Strap on, er I mean IN, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 💃🏽🕺🏽🍻

In their first Valentine's Day Special (yeah it's belated, so what get over it already), Jake and Emily embark on a superdeep dive of one of Jake's absolute favorite films about love - the 2013 Spike Jonze heartbreaker, Her. Join the romantically dynamic duo as they take a break from their It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia binge (Emily's first time through the series!) to get their hearts smashed by this enigmatic and beautiful film. Get ready for an honest take on love, s*x, relationships, and the digital age as filtered through two nerds on different decades of the millennial spectrum. We had a lot of fun with this one and were surprised with where our conversations treaded. So open your hearts and put us deep into your ears NOW. Strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🥃🥃

Get ready to kiss and bang... wait... no, er, I mean... Welcome back to Feels Like The First Time Podcast!!! This time Emily and Jake dive into one of Jake's go-to happy flicks: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Will they succumb to the palpable chemistry between Robert Downey, Jr. and Val Kilmer? Will Jake ever get over his long-standing crush on Michelle Monaghan? Will Emily finally shake her crippling addiction to LimonCello LaCroix? Tune in to find out as Emily takes in this gem for the first time, and the dynamic duo discover that their conversation, which they had initially figured would be rather basic and superficial, twists and turns into unexpectedly deep waters!!! So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🥂

Strange Days have tracked us down... Join Emily as Jakob shows her Strange Days! This is kind of a rough/heavy one to ring in the new year (which obvi we are just now catching up on, HI AGAIN WE MISSED YOU GUYS!), but ohhhhh man is it a good one. Listen as we attempt (poorly) to go through the plot of this extremely dense flick that is not only Jake's favorite New Year's movie, but one of his favorites of all-time. Unfortunately at the time of recording this podcast the film STILL doesn't have a good, legitimate release stateside (BOO!). And it's a bit obscure, to be honest - it got buried in the insanely stacked release calendar year that was all of 1995... But it's got crazy amounts of talent both in front of and behind the camera and if you haven't seen it YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD! A hyper-violent, intensely-s*xual, wholly-disturbing dystopian view of 1999 that somehow is uncomfortably relevant still today... well, just tune in and listen to Em's reaction, not to mention our obsession with Angela Basset's badassness, Jake's old-school crush on the dream that is Juliette Lewis, as well as our comparisons and potential recasting for a remake that shouldn't probably happen, and more! So pour yourself a little something-something and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🍻🥳🥸🤯🤠

Merry Happy Belated Christmas/Holiday/Festivus to everyone!!! As seems to be the norm lately, we are just trying to keep our heads above water over here and playing catch up. And so, more than halfway through January of this new year, we present to your our 1st hopefully-annual Holiday Special! In this festive sonofab***h we watch the Christmas classic Gremlins, which, yes... Emily has somehow never seen. This was a particularly fun one to watch and discuss and we hope you enjoy listening to it at least half as much as we had fun making it. Tune in and listen to our customary tangent-laden discourse as we deep dive into this family film that features monsters getting killed by blenders or stabbed by moms with Michael Meyers butcher knives, and decapitated by swords on the living room wall, not to mention a hefty human body count... Wait did we say family film? WE ABSOLUTELY DID. Because it is. It just also happens to also be both a Christmas film and a horror film also, so... yay! Oh and how could we forget that super WTF dark Christmas tale that's recounted that would only be slightly less disturbing than if, say The Human Centipede franchise had a holiday installment (somebody fund that NOW!). Anyway... Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! Pour yourself a little something-something and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🤶🏻🎅🏻🥃🥃

***SPOILER ALERT: We DO discuss some spoilery stuff on The Matrix Resurrections, which JUST came out. So if you haven't seen it yet, be warned!!!***

Holy hell, guys... grab a drink and strap in, cause we went a little to hard on this superfun episode! Join us as Emily discovers that nothing is real and tries to escape the simulation we're all trapped in after I finally show her The Matrix Trilogy!!! And we also checked out the newest sequel, Resurrections and talk about that too! And we are joined by a super special guest - one of our BFFs AJ from Genre Geeks (one of our favorite podcasts that we CANNOT plug or praise enough!) jumps in on this crazy epic episode that broke the 3 hour mark. Jakob thought about breaking this one into two parts, but decided TO HELL WITH THAT. We've been behind on getting new episodes out so we thought we'd end 2021 with our biggest episode to date! You're welcome, world. Listen as we try and discuss these four VERY dense cultural phenomenons as quick as we can and help us find our way back as we get lost in the weeds on tangents involving musicals, spaghetti, Monica Bellucci (*swoon), Alice in Wonderland, Nicolas Cage, Freddie Prinze Jr., Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and more! So pour yourself a little something-something and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers to a Happy New Year! 🥂

Holy special guest, listeners!!! Emily and Jake are joined by our great friend and filmmaker extraordinaire, Mark Bessenger!!! In a fun and unexpected change-up, on this episode Mark shows BOTH OF US something that we've never seen, but is his favorite film! Tune in as we talk about the 1971 Vincent Price classic, The Abominable Dr. Phibes. So grab you a glass of wet s*** and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies! Cheers! 🥂🍻🥃🥃

WE'RE BACK! WE WERE SUPER BUSY (*tune in to learn more)! WE'RE SORRY WE WERE GONE! HERE'S SOME CONTENT! PLEASE LOVE US! But no seriously, that joke is swirling the drain faster than Jakob and Emily were swirling from the awesomeness that is Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO! This is one of Jake's top favorite all-time films, so he was super excited to show Emily this one... and super unprepared for where the conversation actually went! Tune in and join in our cinematic deconstructive discourse shenanigans - pop some popcorn, pour yourself a drink, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and chat about movies!
