Chapter 2: Who are the hosts of the podcast?
That's right. But you know what also I like about you, Casey, and part of the reason why I poached you from the film podcast streets to be on a podcast with me, I like that you understand that high art and low art, they both are able to sit at the same table. You know what I'm saying?
Absolutely. Yeah. I think that way about food too. I agree. I used to work at a very fancy restaurant in LA, Jelena, and love the food there, but I'm a frequent McDonald's. I'm in there getting a McRib, you know, on the regular when it's there. Yeah. So yes, I agree. High and low. They're the same. They sit at the same table for me.
if I were to like talk about my own career and the things that I've done, like programming and writing and things like, you know, sort of being sort of general film historian type, I think that that's kind of how I approach. That's how I approach film is that I'm like, I want to speak in a smart intellectual kind of, I don't know, competent way about all kinds of shit.
It can be highbrow, but it also, there is a way to talk about show girls and Ed Wood and, you know, Yeah. Like, truly depraved cinema at the same time that you talk about, I don't know, more sort of intellectual affair, the kind of criterion collection-y type of things, if you will.
Yes.
To me, that's kind of what I like about us both is that we're able to kind of get you a man that can do both type of feeling.
Yeah. And all are welcome at this table. That's right. All levels of filmdom will be excited to listen to this show. We'll talk about, you know, arthouse filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman. But we'll also talk about silly movies like Adam Sandler's Who Be Halloween. I don't know. That's just an example. A movie I liked. Who?
But anyways, that's sort of the crux of our new podcast, our new endeavor together. And we're psyched. We're psyched about it.
We just wanted to do a little intention setting before we, you know, rolled out all the other episodes. But hopefully you're on the ride with us. I mean, if you liked I Saw What You Did, you're going to like this podcast. So we're excited. There we go. We're excited to be here.

Chapter 3: What is the Film Diary segment?
So Millie followed me on, and it's not exactly like You're not really friends on Letterboxd. You basically follow someone and then they can follow you back. It's not like accepting a friend request on Facebook. In your mind, it's not. It was for me. Okay, well, Millie had followed me on Letterboxd and... I went about my life after that one.
And I don't know if I missed the notification or something, but it took me maybe a year before I followed you back. And I mentioned it kind of like, oh, Millie, isn't it funny? I just, I didn't realize you were on Letterboxd. I can't believe it took me so long to follow you back. And you were like, yeah, I noticed.
It was an offensive amount of time that went by. Let me just tell you right now. I had not only fretted you, but I'd actually commented on one of your reviews. I know.
I think I had just, I assumed I had followed you back. I think that's what happened. I think I had assumed, there's no way I didn't follow you back, but I fucked up. I don't know what you want me to say here.
I was like, okay, we work on a film podcast together. We're like in communication pretty much every other day. I know. I friended this guy because I want him to feel included in what we're fucking doing around here. And it took him a year. To follow me back. Anyway, I'm just, I'm just saying. Sure. That broke me for a while, but then you, it fixed itself and I forgive you.
And now we're obviously doing a podcast together.
Now we're doing a podcast together.
I've let it go. Well, and like, there's other functionality on there too. Like you can come up with lists. I'm a big list person.
Yes.

Chapter 4: How do Millie and Casey relate to film?
Okay, I would like to, first and foremost, I would like to establish a timeline, if you'll bear with me. Okay. Let's establish a timeline of the moment you figured out who Channing Tatum was. Did it start with the Step Up films, or did you know him prior to that? How did you enter the universe via Channing Tatum?
It was the Step Up movie, the first one. I didn't see it in the theater, and I did end up renting it and watching it. And I remember at some point... standing up and yelling, why didn't I see this in the theater? Because it's so amazing.
Yeah.
But that definitely was my entry point into Channing Tatum. And I viewed him in a particular way, which definitely evolved. as I got to know him more air quotes around. No, but yes, he came in and he, he really stole my heart very quickly because he is what I like to call one of our chin strap beard warriors. Yeah.
And that is what I call any young Caucasian man who has an affinity for Black music, for R&B, especially for hip-hop, for all aspects of hip-hop. All of the graffiti, the breakdancing. The breakdancing is important.
It is my kryptonite. I've gone on record. I cannot.
I truly am stone cold. I'm the deuce out here. But If you are a young white man with a respectable fade or a shaved head and or a chin strap beard, I don't know. There's going to be problems. I'm a weekend.
I'm a little weak. And what was it when you saw it? What was your reaction to it? Was it nervous and excitement or like, were you surprised by your reaction to it? Were you comforted by the dancing? I fully enjoyed it. Millie, we saw it together.
Yes, we did. Full disclosure. Full disclosure. I was there. We saw it together. We like ran. We ran. But I enjoyed Magic Mike, but it also was a little dark. Yes.
