Interview With The Vampire
Gonzo journalism, homeopathy, plural nouns, and so much more in this discussion of a bloodsucker classic. One of us is way too invested in the science of the supernatural and it is not AJ.

The Craft
Are we the weirdos? We are the weirdos. Get ready for questionable CGI and a lot of witchy stuff as we take on the four corners.
Content note: There is some discussion about suicide and self harm around the twelve-minute mark.

Reality Bites
Does the world, in fact, owe you a Snickers? Are you team Troy or team Michael? And what movie did AJ think we were talking about?

Love, Guaranteed
Sometimes, you just need a really nice movie. Rachael Leigh Cook and Damon Wayans Jr are really nice people in a really nice movie. Is that so bad?

How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Angela Bassett is an international treasure - but maybe, surprisingly, not the best thing about this movie. Also: Is this actually just a remake of Hook? And is Hey There Delilah about Whoopi Goldberg?

A League Of Their Own
There’s no crying in baseball, but there is a lot of crying on the couch. Two people who know extremely little about sports but a LOT about montages talk about one of the best sports movies of all time.

She’s All That
It’s a trip down so many memory lanes. The quotes. The dance sequence. The cast! Along the way we learn things about speaker systems, AJ’s childhood, and a very special script doctor.

We dive into a (Buddha’s) delight and take detours to declare our love for Adam Schlesinger and Kristen Johnston. Find out why AJ calls this the best meet-cute ever, and why Julia has been playing the soundtrack for over ten years.

Pretty Woman
A white knight in a white limo - or a pretty grim love story, even with the friendlier final script? We hang out with Vivian and Edward but mostly with Hector Elizondo.

27 Dresses
A wardrobe montage! A jukebox sing-along! Judy Greer! Witty quips! This movie has all the components for a great romcom, but does it make the most of them? Spoiler: This episode contains quite a bit of sighing and grumbling.

His Girl Friday
Rapid-fire dialogue, very big hats, and a LOT of plot. Is “It’s In The Blood” a better title? Who does Julia think deserves a kick in the nads? And what does this classic screwball comedy have in common with Sleepless in Seattle? We dive into one of the greats.

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion
But who IS the Mary, and who’s the Rhoda? We go back to the nineties - and the eighties - to see how well this technicolor romp holds up.
(The explicit rating here is primarily because of some word choices in a BLM statement before the start of the show.)

Boomerang
Eddy Murphy is a horndog, men and women are hilariously different, and Eartha Kitt and Grace Jones are divine blessings. (Heads up for some explicit language here, so if you don’t want your kids to ask you for instance what an O face is, maybe use head phones.)

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
Fake relationships, precocious meddling pre-teens, and ski-trips. It’s a classic recipe for a teen rom com, and we have a big bite and discuss the results.

Love Potion no. 9
(Content note: We discuss issues of magic and consent, but nothing too graphic. And this may be my favorite content note ever.) Sandra Bullock and Tate Donovan are simply irresistible, thanks to Madame Ruth. Yes, it’s based way too closely on the song. Or not closely enough? We wish for more cop kissing and less sorority crashing.

Sleepless in Seattle
“You don’t want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.”
We take on one of the great classics, Nora Ephron’s Sleepless in Seattle. Is it what we remember - and does it need fixing? (And then, of course, we make it WEIRD.)
