Paid in Puke S8E8: The Gift

On Season 8 Episode 8 of Paid in Puke, we wanna return Sam
Raimi's 2000 supernatural drama, The Gift. Billy Bob Thornton
penned this pseudo-feminist tale of an inconveniently psychic
single mom (Cate Blanchett) who gets caught up in a murder
investigation. It has a lot of "first movie" vibes, but everyone
involved was very well established and some of them had Oscar
noms. Also starring Katie Holmes, Hillary Swank, Kim Dickens, and
Keanu Reeves. 


Resident Blanchettspert, Alicia Mullins of Gal Pals Watch Podcast
joins us to discuss the myriad Hot Probs, Blanchett's noble
attempt to rise above the material, G-Rib's problematic portrayal
of a neurodivergent abuse victim, the ubiquity of gators in the
deep south, Hillary Swank's insane wig, and Mr. Noodle's brother
Mr. Noodle.
