"Playing football at West Canaan may have been the opportunity of your lifetime, but I don't want your life!" - Mox

If you didn't just read the end of this quote in James Van Der Beek's southern accent circa 1999, we don't know how to help you. For this episode, Andrea and Melissa ruminate on high school football and its highs and lows through the vehicle of VARSITY BLUES. That's right, Dawson's Creek fans, this is your moment!

"Oh. Miss Tate. I didn't mean to make you jump. It's Halloween. I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare." - Norma Watson

IT'S THE BEST TIME OF YEAR!!!!! That's right, it's spooky Halloween season and we are HERE FOR IT. What better way for Andrea and Melissa to get in the spirit than with 1998's Halloween H20. Jamie Lee Curtis comes back to the Halloween franchise for another go around as Laurie Strode. This movie has nostalgia for the 90s, Halloween '78, and Hitchcock's Psycho. We can't wait for you to listen to this episode!

"Discovering the object of the game *is* the object of the game." - Daniel Schorr
Have you ever wished to be fully immersed in a real-life game full of adventure? This episode's movie might have you thinking twice. In 1997, David Fincher directed The Game, a psychological thriller that had us on the edge of our seats. Though Mr. Fincher has said it is not his best work, Andrea and Melissa decided to give it a whirl for the show. Join them as they follow Michael Douglas through The Game!

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies?" - Olive Penderghast
Andrea and Melissa remember reading Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter in high school and *spoiler*, they didn't love it. However, Easy A from 2010, was MUCH more enjoyable! This movie made for such a good episode. Emma Stone's character is a comedic gem that makes this movie worth putting in your rotation of feel-good films. You don't have to embroider a red A on your sweater, just sit back and laugh along with us as we re-visit Easy A.

"I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me... but I can't help it that I'm popular." - Gretchen Wieners
Saddle up for an episode filled with hilarity this week! Andrea and Melissa did everyone a favor and re-watched 2004's Mean Girls. This movie is truly deserving of all the hype, reputation, and classic status it has earned. We can't wait for you to sit at our lunch table and revel in the glory of Regina George and the Plastics.

"How about the gourmet here, you know what he wanted? Hotdogs! You know what they make those things out of, Chet? You know? Lips and assholes!" - Roman Craig
This summer, Andrea and Melissa went on a fun, old-fashioned, family vacation together. What better way to celebrate than watching The Great Outdoors from 1988! This one was made before your co-hosts met, so it qualifies as a bonus episode! We hope you have as much fun with this nostalgic family flick as we did!

"Mess with the best, die like the rest."- Dade Murphy

Back in 1995, computer nerds got to be in the spotlight and finally feel cool. The movie, Hackers, took the would-be computer programmer and mashed it together with a bunch of trendy teen stars with a dash of rave culture. Andrea and Melissa had a great time rewinding to a time when the internet was still mostly an abstract concept for most of us. Enjoy!

"You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet." - Cher Horowitz

What can we possibly say about the timeless classic Clueless from 1995? PLENTY. This episode is dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Amy Heckerling's work that elevated a generation of teen movies. From the lovable characters, signature fashion, amazing acting, and prolific vocabulary, Clueless has left an impression of every 90s teen. Treat yourself to a fun romp through Beverly Hills with Andrea and Melissa in this episode!

"High school star, never quite lived up to your potential. Sooner or later you all come back to your old school, stand there and look at the picture of the glory days wondering "What might have been." Seems to me you guys are living in the past." - Janitor

No matter what your answer to the age-old question of "would you go back to being 17 again" - we've all thought about it. This movie is not original in concept, but 2009's 17 Again was still a worthwhile revisit. Zach Efron and Matthew Perry take us on a fun romp through a sort of time travel/ body switching experience. It may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but Andrea and Melissa have some thoughts on the whole concept. If you need a good dose of nostalgia, have a listen to this hilarious episode!
