On this episode of Podcast Like It’s the 2000s, Phil and Emily are joined by film critics Josh Spiegel and Scott Renshaw to discuss Pixar’s emotional adventure about Carl Fredricksen, a widowed balloon salesman who lifts his house into the sky in search of Paradise Falls only to discover an unexpected stowaway along the way.


The group breaks down the film’s famous opening montage, its unusual elderly protagonist, and why Up represents a key moment in Pixar’s late-2000s creative peak. They also explore the movie’s legacy, its Best Picture nomination, and why its blend of grief, humor, and adventure still resonates.

84: Up with Josh Spiegel & Scott Renshaw

She was raised inside what was framed as a sexually liberated utopia. And it took years for her to recognize it for what it was: a sex cult.

In this unsettling and deeply thoughtful episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, Inka Winter shares what it was like to grow up inside a radical art collective that erased boundaries, blurred consent, and normalized control under the banner of free love.

Inka breaks down how cult logic shaped her understanding of sex, power, and autonomy, and how those early experiences eventually led her to become an erotic filmmaker, sex educator, and founder of a feminist production company centered on consent and the female gaze.

The conversation dives into porn literacy, sex education, fantasy versus reality, and why censorship and silence make people more vulnerable, not safer. Inka explains how the same control structures found in cults still exist in society today, especially in the way sex is regulated, taught, and restricted.

Smart, disturbing, and necessary, this episode challenges how we think about sexuality, media, and who gets to decide what is acceptable.

From Sex Cult Survivor to Feminist Adult Filmmaker - Inka Winter

Phil Iscove and Emily St. James continue their Pixar 2000s miniseries with a deep dive into WALL·E, Andrew Stanton’s 2008 animated sci-fi romance about a lonely trash-compacting robot left behind on Earth.


Joined by Justin and Laura Khoo, they break down the film’s near-silent first act, Ben Burtt’s groundbreaking sound design, the Axiom’s consumerist dystopia, and why WALL·E may be Pixar’s most political film. They also discuss its environmental themes, visual storytelling, and how it fits alongside Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Cars in Pixar’s golden era.


Is WALL·E the studio’s boldest experiment? Its purest love story? Or both?

83: Wall-E with Justin & Laura Khoo

She cracked ribs for beauty, hustled couture with a handjob, survived addiction, and still walked away with the awards.

In this no-holds-barred episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, Jade Venus pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to survive and win in the adult industry as a trans performer. From coming out at 12 in small-town Montana to becoming an award-winning powerhouse with over 200 scenes, Jade’s story is equal parts chaos, craft, and hard-earned clarity.

She opens up about growing up too fast, escaping abuse, navigating early transition, plastic surgery, and why OnlyFans became her real safety net. Jade also gets brutally honest about addiction, sobriety, industry politics, trans visibility, on-set horror stories (think chocolate milkshake in the most unenjoyable way possible), and why comfort, not fame is the ultimate flex.

Funny, shocking, and unexpectedly thoughtful, this episode reveals the resilience, strategy, and self-awareness behind one of the industry’s most unforgettable personalities.

Topping the Industry: Jade Venus on Power, Pain, and Longevity

This week on Podcast Like It’s the 2000s, Phil and Emily wrap up their Valentine’s Day Wong Kar-wai miniseries with a deep dive into My Blueberry Nights (2007), joined by David Sims (Blank Check). They discuss Norah Jones’ debut performance, Jude Law’s rom-com era, the film’s Cannes premiere, its American road movie structure, and why this English-language detour feels so different from In the Mood for Love and 2046.


Is it a misunderstood romantic trifle or Wong Kar-wai’s strangest experiment?

82: My Blueberry Nights with David Sims

This AVN special episode features two conversations from very different points in the adult industry.

First, Alina Lopez joins Holly to talk about aging in porn, shifting fan bases, and what it means to reinvent yourself publicly after growing up on camera. She opens up about confidence, stability, adventure-driven content, and an upcoming mainstream project that will merge her personal and professional worlds in a way she’s never done before.

Then Trinity Infinity shares a very different story coming from generational poverty and homelessness as a teen, and building a career through phone sex, custom fetish content, and domination without a massive social media following. They discuss emotional intelligence, consent in degradation play, and why internal-traffic platforms can be a smarter path for some creators.

Two guests. Two trajectories. One honest look at longevity, hustle, and survival in the adult industry.

Underwater Sex Stories + Phone-Sex Hustles: Alina Lopez & Trinity Infinity

This week on Podcast Like It’s the 2000s, Phil and Emily continue their Valentine’s miniseries on the films of Wong Kar-wai with a deep dive into his dreamy, decadent, and divisive follow-up to In the Mood for Love: 2046. Joining them is Screen Drafts co-host Clay Keller to unpack memory, desire, sci-fi metaphors, hotel rooms, and the many women orbiting Tony Leung’s endlessly romantic (and endlessly messy) Chow Mo-wan.


Early in the episode, Phil provides context for listeners who may not have seen the film, walking through its fractured narrative, a futuristic train that takes passengers to a place where memories can be reclaimed, and a writer blurring fiction and reality as he drifts through the Oriental Hotel and the ghosts of love past.


The conversation explores how 2046 expands Wong’s romantic universe into something colder, more reflective, and more haunted. Is it a sequel? A remix? A sci-fi epilogue? A man trying to freeze time so he never has to grow up? The trio discusses the film’s nonlinear structure, its lush visual language, recurring musical motifs, and the way longing becomes both theme and architecture.


They also touch on the film’s limited U.S. release, its evolving critical reputation, and how it fits into Wong Kar-wai’s broader body of work. Along the way, the episode offers a brief glimpse behind the scenes of this Valentine’s miniseries and how close to release these conversations sometimes are.

81: 2046  with Clay Keller

Sally Dinosaur doesn’t perform desire, she inhabits it. In this raw, funny, and deeply honest episode, Sally joins Holly to talk about BDSM dynamics, camming orgasms, public-risk streams, the burnout that shut her body down, and the explosive comeback that proved her audience never left. From accidental penis humiliation mishaps to learning how to separate fantasy from real life, this episode digs into what happens when pleasure becomes a profession — and why listening to your body might be the most hardcore move of all.

Pain, Power, and Pleasure: Sally Dinosaur on Kink, Camming, and Control

This week on Podcast Like It’s the 2000s, Phil and Emily kick off a brand-new Valentine’s miniseries on the films of Wong Kar-wai with one of the most celebrated movies of the century: In the Mood for Love. Joining them are Katie McGrath and Tom Mison, making their first appearance on the main feed after many beloved appearances on Podcast Like It’s the 90s (the Patreon-exclusive show).


The conversation explores why In the Mood for Love has become the defining cinematic text of longing, memory, and restraint. The group digs into Wong Kar-wai’s sensual, dialogue-light approach; the role of ambiguity and audience interpretation; the film’s obsession with time, repetition, and missed connection; and how Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung deliver one of the most emotionally charged screen romances ever filmed without ever fully consummating it.


They also discuss the film’s slow critical “glow-up,” its influence on filmmakers like Sofia Coppola and Barry Jenkins, the role of Criterion in canon-building, and why this movie works as pure cinema something that couldn’t exist in any other medium. Along the way: conversations about memory, performance without dialogue, and what it means for a film to trust its audience completely.
