Polarizing movies are how the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, got its start. When two differing opinions come together, the conversation is spiked and rich. The guys love, when they can, adding in a “tiebreaker” third voice to the punch bowl. And, by golly, do they ever have a sharp three-headed conversation and polarizing film to work with this week.

For their 82nd episode, two feisty film critics, non-abusive dads, and glamorous school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan welcome back guest Cati Glidewell of The Blonde in Front for a return to “awards season” with what is sure to be one of Netflix’s biggest Oscar hopefuls. It’s also likely the most polarizing movie of 2022. The three are talking about Andrew Dominik’s Blonde starring Ana de Armas. Find out how the whole range of reactions in our trio from jaded and offended to inspired and impressed with this fictionalized biopic. Come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
