14 Going On 40

"Oh wow. This bra will be the death of your vagina." - Kiki.

2016 brought us the comedy Bad Moms, and for this we are truly grateful. From brute honesty about motherhood to over-the-top PTA antics, Bad Moms had Andrea and Melissa laughing all over again!!! Martha Stewart's cameo was truly inspired, and the comedy chemistry between Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn is spot on. This movie is pure fun and this episode was a blast to record.

"Am I a bet? Am I a FUCKING BET?" - Laney Boggs. Perhaps one of the most effective f-bombs ever uttered in a teen movie. For this episode, we watched She's All That from 1999. Even more exciting, Andrea and Melissa were joined by fellow podcasters from the show Inside You with Bill and Raptor. The edition of another best friend duo was a wise choice indeed. Get ready to laugh out loud more than once!

So we ran our first half-marathon together. That's right, Andrea and Melissa did, in fact, do this. It was quite the achievement, and made more exciting and doable because we did it together. We broke our usual routine of re-watching a movie and instead, we enjoyed Brittany Runs A Marathon for this episode. This movie was a delight and brought back sweet memories of our own race newbie experience.

"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."-Peter Gibbons

Remember when the world was in Y2K panic? Everyone thought our computer systems would implode when the calendar switched from 1999 to 2000! Well, we all know how that turned out. In the movie Office Space, we get to follow the life of some dudes in cubicle hell at Initech Corporation. When Peter decides he is not going to take any more nonsense at work, the real comedy ensues. It's been quite awhile since Andrea and Melissa have watched this gem of a movie. We had a great time relating to the characters in Office Space! Give this episode a listen (no flair required).

We have BIG NEWS!

"We're going streaking!" - Frank
In 2003's Old School, a group of friends decide to literally re-live college without the education element.  In theory, this looks like an attractive idea in some aspects.  In reality, trying to jump full-tilt into partying like a 20-year-old while still maintaining the responsibilities of work and family, is probably a lot more exhausting than it's worth!  Andrea and Melissa haven't seen this one in FOREVER and re-watching it ended up being a little disappointing.  But re-living some memories of their time in college makes up for it!!!  Have some fun re-visiting Old School in this episode and then decide if you are ready for a re-watch!

"I don't believe we've met, what with the cruel politics of high school and all." - Courtney .     
The premise of this dark high school comedy is one that Andrea and Melissa are TOTALLY into!  Accidental murder, a sordid cover-up, mean girls, an underdog, and over-the-top fashion: this film has it all!!  Taking more than one page from Heathers (1989), Jawbreaker tries to hit the same twisted mark with only so much success.  The overall visual appeal of this movie instantly had us drawn back in to this viewing.  Rose McGowan is mesmerizing as Courtney and the rest of the cast fill in the exaggerated aesthetic of this comedy thriller.   Grab your favorite candy and listen to this episode!

"If we're gonna be the best, we have to have the best. Missy's the poo, so take a big whiff! - Torrance Shipman
Two words: Guilty. Pleasure.  You got that right!  Bring It On may not be at the level of sophistication of Netflix's Cheer documentary, but it has earned its place in cheerleader movie history.  Full of snarky humor and quotable quotes, Bring It On is a fun romp in the sometimes strange world of cheer-leading.  Andrea knows this movie by heart, but Melissa hasn't seen it for quite awhile.  Lots of fun was had re-watching this movie!   We dare you to resist finishing this line: "I said BRRRR, it's cold in here......"

"You sure you're only fourteen?" - Nick Eliot
Rounding out obsessive love movies, for this episode, we watched The Crush (1993).  This is Alicia Silverstone's first leading movie role.  And much like Mark Whalberg in Fear, she plays an excellent villain.   When Andrea and Melissa saw this movie, they were the same age as the main character Darian Forrester.  Cary Elwes is the object of her obsession and what he feels is harmless flirting, quickly escalates to thriller-movie worthy behavior!  You may never look at rollerblades as innocently again!!!

"The big deal, Laura, is that the guy gives me the creeps, and the girl is my daughter." - Steve Walker
This episode might be a first...  This viewing of a cult classic from 1996, was looked at through completely different eyes than when Andrea and Melissa were 17!  Fear was a quintessential thriller for every teen girl, back in the day.  Touted as the "Fatal Attraction for teens", this movie is nowhere near the caliber of that Oscar-nominated film icon.  However, it surprisingly holds its own as a thriller that took a risk with its leading villain.  Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon have undeniable chemistry and still held our attention 24 years later.   Now that we have Valentine's Day behind us, this is the perfect time to supplement your binge-watching of psycho-stalker dramas (*cough cough* Netflix YOU).  The character of David McCall is one we fear from multiple perspectives.  Hang with us for this episode as we look at Fear in a whole new light.
