How Did This Get Made? Jade (Classic)
Mar 31, 2026
They riff on a 90s erotic thriller full of pubic hair lockets, inflatable sex pillows, and a notorious 'fuck house'. They mock bizarre wardrobe and Photoshop choices, absurd car chases, and the film’s confusing plot around identity and motive. Strange props, double gingers, and decadent wealthy tropes get equal ridicule.

Episode notes
Jade Feels Like A Familiar '90s Erotic Thriller
- Paul, Jason, and June describe Jade as a classic '90s erotic thriller that feels familiar yet oddly unfinished.
- They compare it to Basic Instinct and Bound, noting broad-stroke plotting and pulpy, sensational elements like orgies and blackmail.
The Pubic Hair Boxes Symbolize Gratuitous Shock
- The hosts highlight an early prop: engraved boxes filled with pubic hair that are displayed prominently but serve no plot purpose.
- They tie the detail to real-life producer Robert Evans anecdotes and call it emblematic of the movie’s gratuitous shock choices.
The Double Ginger Moment Sticks Out
- June flags an unusual on-screen pairing: two redheaded actors in an intimate scene, which she calls unprecedented.
- The hosts call it a striking, memorable visual gag that underlines the film’s odd casting choices.
