  • Renée Zellweger: Chicago (2002) and The Bachelor (1999)
    Dec 9 2024

    This week the gals dive into the incredible filmography of Renée Zellweger! Hope got to watch the ol' razzle dazzle of Chicago (2002) whilst Jessica watched 1999's The Bachelor (not the TV show) and there is SO very much to discuss. We unpack one grandfather's extremely specific will, what counts as genetic material? And what is the flight time from New York to Athens?!

  • Andre Braugher: Glory (1989) and Passengers (2008)
    Nov 26 2024

    The king of Shakespeare... the king of police television, and the king of our hearts... it's Andre Braugher. This week Jessica watched Andre's best film according to Rotten Tomatoes (Glory) and Hope got to watch his worst (Passengers) and boy are there some twists and turns this episode. The gals tackle the American Civil War, the ghost buck to Canadian Dollar exchange rate, plus the biggest questions of our time: does time even exist? Were we dead the whole time? What is a soul? Jessica and Hope try their very best to get to the bottom of it.

  • Zach Galifianakis: The Muppets (2011) and Are You Here (2013)
    Nov 11 2024

    This week we're tackling one of the greats: Zach Galifianakis. Hope watched his highest rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes (The Muppets, a PERFECT film) and Jessica watched his lowest rated movie (Are You Here, a film). The gals have a lot to discuss, from meteorologists to puppets to the Donner Party. Plus, they unpack nudity on screen in the context of objectification and nudity on screen in the context of Kermit the Frog. It's a real treat of an ep. Enjoy!

  • Lady Gaga: A Star Is Born (2018) and Machete Kills (2013)
    Nov 4 2024

    Oh oh oh oH OH OH OH OH OH...oh OH oh! We're covering Lady Gaga this week, so Jessica watched her best movie according to Rotten Tomatoes (A Star Is Born) and Hope watched her worst (Machete Kills). We talk a heck of a whole lot about these films, but we also cover so much more, like a very lighthearted story from Jessica about being stone-cold pelted with marbles. Plus where do they print those giant presidential seals? And do you remember the magical Shakira uncle on Wizards of Waverly Place? We do.

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger: The Terminator (1984) and The Villain (1979)
    Oct 28 2024

    That's GOVERNOR Arnold Schwarzenegger to you! This ep Hope watched his best movie according to Rotten Tomatoes (The Terminator, which was great) and Jessica watched his worst film (The Villain, which was...hmm.) In both cases, "a role has met an actor," to quote June Diane Raphael. We're talking robots, live-action cartoon parodies, the future, the past, and boy movies that have apple-pie-and-a-gun vibes. Make sure to stick around to hear who we're covering next week because it'll be huge.
