Can a movie that starts with secret insemination possibly hold up? No, but we’re going to talk about the Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman movie anyway. A weird premise and questionable chemistry, but at least there’s a cute kid. Digressions include “Does Jeff Goldblum know he’s in a movie?”, celebrity scientologists, and Patrick Wilson’s hot wife. Tune in, rate, review and subscribe!
Fifty storylines, no chemistry. The brain behind Pretty Woman and Princess Diaries brings us a much worse movie. We’re expected to believe Michelle Pfeiffer is dowdy, Katherine Heigl and Jon Bon Jovi have both met and are attracted to each other, and Lea Michele doesn’t want to sing? Come on. Join us to talk about this insane movie and tell us what parts are most shocking to you. Rate, review and subscribe and most importantly have a safe and happy 2024!
A love story about two people who hate each other solving their problems by deciding to have a baby they don’t want. What could go wrong? At least it’s Christmas.

It’s the holiday season! And after five years of Christmas movies, we still have one delightful holiday film left to watch! Join us as we discuss This Christmas, an early aughts family Christmas romp that is definitely better than The Family Stone (fight us). We discuss the perfect movie man (Joe), problematic actors, and the kindness of letting bookies stay for the holidays. Listen, rate, review and subscribe!
We are strong, confident, women who can admit when they’re wrong, and we were wrong about Her. A movie about a man who can’t handle a relationship with a human woman so falls in love with an AI can actually hold up. Listen to hear our thoughts, tell us yours, and don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe!
Orphans, an inventor driven insane by his child’s death, a villain driven to madness by an obsession with money and power. Did we change it up and watch a gritty drama this week? No, no, this is beloved children’s romp “Casper.” We debate the importance of continuity and rules in this paranormal world but come to one inarguable conclusion: Bill Pullman is hot. Listen, rate, review and subscribe!
A 1992 feminist masterpiece about the cost of staying beautiful. In this week’s discussion of Death Becomes Her we make some pretty controversial statements like “Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are pretty good actresses.” Join us as we discuss this cult classic that may or may not be a romcom but is definitely appropriate for spooky season.
Happy Fall, ya’ll! This week we dive into Fever Pitch and ponder if the makings of a great romcom is two stars currently embroiled in public scrutiny, a man-child, a girl boss, and baseball season. We have a lengthy digression into the Real Housewives of New York reboot but we make great points so stick around.

Infinite Jest is the book they reference whose name we couldn’t remember. If that didn’t give it away, this week we watched High Fidelity. Allison grappled with how this movie influenced the boys she crushed on in her younger years, Carrie declares this is not a movie for married mothers in their thirties, we both think maybe Jack Black is the second coming of Robin Williams. Don’t come for us, think about it. Anyway, listen, review, and subscribe.
What if Robin Williams was on The Office? Rather, what if every cast member of The Office was in a Robin Williams movie? But wait… it’s not funny. Will it hold up? Join us this week as we discuss License To Wed and its problematic gender roles,” jokes,” and debate if it’s the least Chicago movie ever set in Chicago.

This week we talk about Lovebirds, a 2020 Kumail Nanjiani/Issa Rae high pandemic era rom com about two dummies struggling with criminals and their relationship. What could go wrong?!

It’s a double feature week with both Princess Diaries and Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. One of these is amazing, one is… not. BUT Chris Pine is there.

The original (maybe) teens losing their virginity before graduating high school movie: American Pie! Can this raunchy comedy about teenage boys trying to get laid possibly hold up? Will we go on a long “Who’s dated who” deep dive? Tune in to find out. Join our Patreon for bonus episodes and content, rate, review, and subscribe!
This week we watch a movie that begs the question “Would Christina Ricci be completely unlovable if her face were only slightly less attractive than her normal face?” We also wonder why James McAvoy is famous (not-derogatory), and if “Do you know who I am?” Reese Witherspoon is the best Reese Witherspoon. Join us as we answer all these questions and even discuss “Penelope.” Rate, review, and subscribe and join our Patreon here for exclusive bonus content.
A Diane Keaton, Stephen Collins romcom with musical numbers where Diane Keaton is very much outsung… no not First Wives Club, the lesser known, lesser good Because I Said So. Tune in as we discuss this Mandy Moore mother/daughter romp (or family drama) and debate where it went wrong and spend way more time than we expected talking about Atonement. Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
A cast of problematic male characters, a non-problematic football player (but actually problematic IRL), and a leading lady whose personality is that she has boobs but doesn’t wear a bra. What could go wrong?! It’s There’s Something About Mary week and there is something about this we just do not like. Listen, tell us your thoughts and don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe.
