Remember Movie Pass?

All the movies you wanted for just nine bucks?

I'm Bridget Todd, host of There Are No Girls on the Internet.

And this season, I'm digging into the tech stories we weren't told.

Starting with Stacey Spikes, the black founder of movie pass who got pushed out of the company he

built. Everybody's trying to knock you down and it's not going to work and no one's going to like it.

And then boom, it's everywhere. And that was that moment. Listen to there are no girls on the internet on the

IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, everyone. Rob Lamb here.

I'd like to dedicate this episode of

Weird House Cinema to my mother, Dorothy. On July 15th of this year, she passed away after seven

years of cancer treatments. And I was able to be with her towards the end there. I went up, I was a

visitor in the hospital, and, you know,

how it goes in a hospital room. After you've chatted for a while, there's not much else to do,

but to turn on the television. And there was almost nothing on, of course. But there was a single

option that presented itself, 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

So we jumped into it. Neither of us realizing that this would be the last movie we'd ever watched together.

Now, to be clear, my mom was never a big fan of weird movies, certainly not much in the way of sci-fi or horror.

She loved the Halloween season, though, and she took me to see all of my first cinematic experiences, you know, the Star Wars, the Disney movies, and so forth. And she was, of course, unsurprisingly, as a supportive mother, a big fan of stuff to boil your mind. She didn't listen to many Weird House episodes, but she would make an exception if she knew the film or liked one of the stars. So, for instance, she did specifically

listen to our episode on Forbidden Planet because it's, of course, starred Leslie Nielsen,

and she even tuned in for the episode of Cannibal Apocalypse because it starred John Saxon.
