We are kicking off a brand new miniseries on Oscar-winning Best Director follow-up films from the 2000s, starting with Steven Spielberg’s bold and deeply divisive “A.I. Artificial Intelligence.” TV critic and Vulture writer Roxana Hadadi joins Phil and Emily for a wide-ranging conversation that digs into the movie’s legacy, Kubrick’s influence, and how the film hit differently post-Oscars and post-9/11.


They dive into the unique collaboration and friendship between Kubrick and Spielberg, how “A.I.” bridges fairy tale and sci-fi, and what it means for love, grief, and humanity to be filtered through the eyes of a robot boy. The group explores how the film’s themes of artificial intelligence, the uncanny valley, and the pursuit of parental love feel even more relevant today in a world grappling with AI and rapid technological change.


Other topics include Haley Joel Osment’s incredible performance, Jude Law’s scene-stealing Gigolo Joe, the eerie brilliance of Teddy, and why this film has remained both underappreciated and deeply beloved by fans. They also talk about the Oscars’ resistance to science fiction, the film’s release in a world still haunted by 9/11, and the surprising emotional impact the film has had on different audiences, including its resonance with the trans community.


It is a deep dive into one of Spielberg’s most complex and haunting films, a movie that still raises questions about love, loss, technology, and what it means to be human.

54: A.I. with Roxana Hadadi

In this episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, I sit down with two of my favorite people in the adult industry—Little Puck and Shawn Alff—for a totally unfiltered, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation. We talk about everything from Puck’s wild transformation from conservative Christian cult kid to horror cosplay queen, to Shawn’s journey from sex journalist to adult performer and director. Yes, there are threesomes. Yes, there’s microdosing. And yes, there’s talk of anal (a lot of it). But there’s also real talk about mental health, work-life balance, shame, spirituality, and the unexpected ways this industry can heal and empower.
 
You’ll hear the real story behind their infamous “bangversary,” how Shawn became the most lovable cuck in porn, and why Puck is redefining what it means to be both dominant and vulnerable. We also get into the nitty-gritty of porn writing (spoiler: most of it is bad), how they find connection on and off camera, and what it really takes to build a sustainable, creative career in adult. This one is raw, funny, touching, and weird in all the best ways—just how I like it.

The Anal Whisperer & The Cosplay Queen: Love, Kinks, and Chaos with Little Puck and Shawn Alff

Emily and Phil close out their “Films of the Todds” mini series, spotlighting the distinct visions of Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field, with a thoughtful conversation about Todd Solondz’s darkly comic Life During Wartime (2009). Joining them is film critic and podcaster Chris Feil, who brings sharp insight to this follow-up to Happiness and its meditation on forgiveness, trauma, and the ways the past lingers in the present.


They explore Solondz’s unique approach to recasting characters, the film’s blend of biting humor and discomfort, and how Life During Wartime stands apart in the landscape of late-2000s indie cinema. The episode also reflects on what this film reveals about Solondz’s legacy, and why the “Todds” mini series is such a fascinating journey through some of the boldest voices in American film.


Thank you for joining Emily and Phil on this mini series ride.

To celebrate the 400th episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, I sat down with Kitana Montana—a bold, inked, and unapologetically dominant performer whose journey from Argentina to Amsterdam to Vegas is anything but ordinary. A former tattoo artist turned international sex goddess, Kitana shares how she discovered porn through her mother, her early days in the Red Light District, her love of femdom and exhibitionism, and how a single submissive client changed everything. From wild fan requests to shocking gang bangs, Kitana holds nothing back. She’s fierce, funny, and ready to take over as a director herself.

Kitana Montana on Femdom, Strap-Ons & Sissifying Her Subs

Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini series, exploring the work of Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field. This week, they take a look at Todd Phillips’ culture-shifting comedy The Hangover. Joining them is writer and cultural critic Jude Ellison Doyle, who brings a sharp, thoughtful perspective to one of the 2000s most talked-about comedies.


Together, they discuss how The Hangover redefined studio comedy, the film’s wild storytelling and breakout performances, and how its humor and reputation have aged in the years since its release. They dig into the movie’s massive box office impact, the rise of the “wolf pack,” and how Todd Phillips’ sensibilities changed the direction of mainstream comedy.


Whether you love or cringe at its legacy, this conversation breaks down what made The Hangover such a phenomenon and what it tells us about the era it came from.

52: The Hangover with Jude Ellison Doyle

Arabelle Raphael joins Holly for a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about her 15-year journey in adult entertainment. From her first “Public Disgrace” scene (where she was paid $200 to have sex in a crowded public bar!), to co-founding sex worker support groups and teaching The Art of the Blowjob, Arabelle unpacks the realities behind the fantasy. They dive into industry trauma, healing, censorship, fetishes, and even culty tantra massages that involve speaking in tongues. This is one of the most thought-provoking and surprising interviews we’ve ever done—don’t miss it.

I Got Paid $200 to F* in Public - Arabelle Raphael Wildest Scene Ever**

Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini series as they take on Todd Haynes’s ambitious and unconventional biopic I’m Not There. They are joined by film critic and podcaster Ryan Marker for a conversation about this multi-layered portrait of Bob Dylan, identity, and the myth of American celebrity.


Together, they break down the film’s innovative structure, discuss Cate Blanchett’s acclaimed performance and the daring decision to cast six actors as different facets of Dylan, and examine how Haynes’s storytelling approach turns biography into a surreal and poetic experience. The episode also explores the film’s music, visual style, and its place in both Haynes’s career and the larger tradition of rock and roll cinema.

51: I’m Not There with Ryan Marker

Brett Rossi struts into this episode with rhinestones, chaos energy, and absolutely no interest in playing nice. She dives into her 16-year run as a feature dancer, complete with elaborate costumes, and performances in towns so small her luggage had a better chance of getting there than she did.
 
And finally, Brett breaks the silence about her very public breakup with Charlie Sheen, the identity crisis that followed, and how she clawed her way back through therapy, reinvention, and refusing to let the tabloids write her story. Now she’s the host of Stripped, a podcast where the glam takes a backseat and the mess gets the mic.
 
Other topics on the table: dad bod thirsting, Bible shot glasses sewn into a nun outfit, Sean Penn showing up in a truck for breakfast and smelling like cigarettes, and why success isn’t about being number one but staying sane long enough to enjoy the ride.
 
Brett is hilarious, brutally honest, and fully in her comeback era. Just don’t ask her to marry you in the comments.

Brett Rossi: The Comeback, the Chaos, and What Really Happened with Charlie Sheen

Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini series, spotlighting the work of Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field, with a deep dive into Todd Field’s haunting suburban drama Little Children (2006). Joining them is writer and producer Libby Hill, who brings sharp insight into the film’s complex characters, morally murky relationships, and the atmosphere of quiet desperation that runs through Field’s vision of American suburbia.


Together, they explore the unforgettable performances by Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, and Jackie Earle Haley, the film’s commentary on judgment and repression, and how Little Children solidified Field’s reputation as one of the most nuanced directors of the 2000s. Whether you’re revisiting the film or watching for the first time, this conversation sheds light on why Little Children remains one of the decade’s most quietly powerful films.

50: Little Children with Libby Hill

Ricky Johnson is fully in his boss era. He’s juggling Ricky’s Room, his sleek high-production spin on intimate, chemistry-driven scenes, building out SexTapes.com, a performer-powered platform giving creators real control and visibility, and somehow still has time to pre-plan a second and third season of Ricky’s Resort, a sexy reality show with wristbands, confessionals, and no chaos. Okay, some chaos. But it’s controlled.
 
We get into how he scaled a self-produced scene into a full-blown creative empire, how he keeps performer comfort at the center of everything, and why the future of adult content is performer-run, smartly produced, and sometimes scheduled by ChatGPT when he's planning his shoots.
Think this was wild? The full uncensored episode and an exclusive bonus Q&A with Ricky Johnson are all on my Patreon. Go on, treat yourself. ________________________________________________________
