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.
