Everyone and Their Sister

We are lucky to be joined by Lauren Oliver, the creator and writer of Amazon Prime's Panic. Lauren chats to us about how the book became a show, the emotional backstory of the tiger (it was there the whole time!) and our favourite topic, the devastating appeal of Ray Hall. Let the games begin! 

Dust off the crumbs from your keyboards, wipe down the buttery fingerprints from your phones, and tuck in to our favourite topic: food in film, TV, and comics. This week we discuss the foods that made our mouths water, whether in a K-drama like Crash Landing On You, a Webtoon like Gourmet Hound, or a classic indie Jon Favreau movie aptly named Chef. And the icing on top of it all is we give you a sneak peek to our new episode after a brief hiatus.

What are you truly afraid of? Spiders? Heights? A group of horny teenagers getting drunk in the woods to play a game? EaTS going off the air? No matter your fear, you should be listening to our review of Panic, an Amazon Prime show we couldn't get enough of. Congrats, Jeffrey Bezos, you did it. 

Listen to Cristina lecture us (and you!) about what In the Heights could have been. 

It's officially halfway through the Year of the Vaccine and Sisters, we are here to share our favourite quarantine content we've watched in 2021 before we emerge from our beautiful loungewear-fashioned cocoons. We talk about revenge again (best served twice) with Peaky Blinders; Bo Burnham's Inside, which is a cyclical comedy that's so real you'll never escape its commentary; and it really was Wandavision all along.

And we're back (stabbing that is), with this week's episode all about revenge. We've picked our favourite tales of vengence, retribution, and reprisal while we talk about Peaky Blinders, The Crow, and HBO's Oz. These revenge stories reach down and tickle the pettiest parts of hearts and have us rooting for the shadiest people.

In this episode, we take inspiration from the article "Where have all the sex scenes gone?" by Kaiya Shunyata and discuss some of our favourite sex scenes of all time. We talk the soap opera sex drama that is Grey's Anatomy, the sapphic con of The Handmaiden, and the (surprisingly!) emotional relationships in Spartacus. 

Somebody once told me Shrek is a lifestyle and we are all fools not to submit to it. This episode is dedicated to a very special die-hard Sister named Chenise, infamous for killing her favourite shows by cancellation, but should be more known for her love of Shrek. Listen to us yammer on about the brilliance of the Shrek franchise, but also immediately get distracted by discourse on athletes and their pre-game fashion. An episode full of the layers only an ogre can understand.

It's nothing but absolute classics this week, as we close out our series of forcing each other to watch movies with Cristina's choice, the Queen of House Latifah, rightful heir to the 2000's Comedy Throne, unmatched in her range. We laugh, cry and sing together through Last Holiday, Set It Off and Hairspray. Join us this week in offering our time up to the only royal we support.

For round 2 of our actor’s filmography adventure, Steph takes Nat and Cristina back to the past with classic’s starring Reese Whitherspoon. We are discussing Legally Blonde 2, Sweet Home Alabama and Cruel Intentions. Is Cruel Intentions the best teen film ever made? The answer is yes. What's good Sarah Michelle Geller?
