Ahh another one of those random movies that you never hear about that I own on DVD. I have such a vivid memory of watching this in the theater, basically because I was obsessed with the two actors, Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt.

Even though it's not a holiday movie like at all, I enlisted Mikey to take a walk down the seedy roads of early 00s forensic true crime-ish films. We talk about how the thin script is really made up by the acting, Michael Pitt being amazing, and all the sexual tension between every character. We also touch on this being the film that brought us Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling as a couple for over a year.

I'm ashamed to say that this is my first watch of Bring it On. The upside to this is that I loved it and I'm pissed I didn't see it the first go round. I remember everyone talking about it when I was in high school but because I didn't have cheerleaders at any of my schools, the concept of a cheer movie wasn't my bag. 

This prompted me to create yet another list on Letterboxd categorizing movies I wish I'd seen earlier. Me and Mikey are chatting this comedy classic and take another opportunity to talk about why Kirsten Dunst's filmography CAN'T be beat. The range! We get into the hilarious quotes, I have a rant on this bold & vivid ath-leisure, and talk about how this story was better than I thought for a film in 2000.

Off-topic rants include: our Marvel gripes, Where are the comedies, Hollywood?, the Now! music compilation

I love reviewing films that have been on my list for ages but haven't watched yet. This was such a great film that I took me way too long watch. Over the past few years this has become a theme, so much that I made (and will add to) another list on Letterboxd about films I was obsessed with on a late viewing. 

This has now joined the ranks of that list. Gas Food Lodging, directed by Allison Anders is a great drama and coming of age film set in the Southwest. The performances by Fairuza Balk and Ione Skye need to be studied and talked about more. I get into the INCREDIBLE fashion that stemmed from the late 80s, why J. Mascis is great at composing a movie score, and how I loved the end of this story.

Off-topic rants include: fashion and music categorization and why you can think of me as the clerk behind the video rental counter

What a ride this season has been. Thankfully we have all lived through the reunion that left much to be desired. I talk about what they should do next year for the reunion, what I wish happened, and why we really needed Jana to read that whole receipt transcript paper.

So fun to be on this crazy journey recapping this show..until next summer I'm leaving the villa with my suitcase and water bottle! ūüß≥ūü•§ūüõꬆ

REMIX!!! Yes, it's time for another trip down nostalgia lane to one of the foundational films of my youth, The Craft. This time I have a special guest along for this journey, Jesse Chambliss of Jesse's Girls Podcast!

We start with our deep connection to the film and why he chose this particular throwback. There are behind the scenes discoveries, deleted scenes and the "magic" of this cast being so perfect for this project. Also,  a long extensive fashion section discussing the incredible versatility of Fairuza Balk's hair and makeup throughout, deconstructing the Catholic uniform, and the incredible 1997 MTV Movie Awards acceptance speech for 'Best Fight'.

"Well, then understand this: whatever you send out you get back times three."

It was the thing you could only dream about, to revisit one of your teen idols crushes from back in the day. This happens to be a different circumstance because the crush flame has been burning bright for at least 20+ years. 

Since Josh Hartnett wandered into the mainstream (yes he has been working) last year with a part in Oppenheimer and this year in Trap, I had to get Samantha of @lovefool.99 back on the pod to talk one of our favorite actors. 

We both were so excited to talk recent moments of this press tour, our thoughts on Trap, run through his filmography, and of course get into the reason for his 'infamous' 90s haircut. 

Trap talk: 13:48-20:00

Good lord I can't believe I watched this movie. Usually I'm extremely adverse to topics surrounding possession, the devil, and ghosts. Because this is seen as one of the classic horror films, I had to review it for the pod during spooky season.

Now, some of you may be shocked but I didn't like this as much as everyone else does. Thankfully this makes for an interesting episode and by the end I started to come around a bit. This is one of Jai's faves so it's great to have both ends of the spectrum when it comes to this review. 

Also, this is a FASHION movie. I couldn't write down the outfits that I loved fast enough. There are numerous looks that comprise the 60s aesthetic to a tee. The cinematography, locations, and the MANY behind the scenes deets we found were our standouts.

What a doozy of a movie to get back to our regularly scheduled programming here on the pod. For this episode we are talking the plot hole ridden and badly acted film from 2000, The In Crowd. Now, the late 90s and early 00s are riddled with films that you can't even believe were made or 'direct to video' movies and sequels before the dawn of streaming where they would have inevitably landed today, 

Me and Mikey are here to talk our complicated feelings on this film. We do a dream casting as we would have done it, the literal madness when it comes to this story, and the few moments of levity we were able to find. 

Off-topic rants: our other fav late 90s teen thrillers, why Katie Holmes and Kirsten Dunst would have saved this

Yes, it's time for a wrap up episode on this amazing Love Island USA season. It's been a wild ride and the top 3 were really the 'Big 3'. I chat about the final dates sprinkled with some gossip I've seen since the show wrapped. Including Leah's interview on 'Call Her Daddy' podcast and I talk about what I want to see answered at the upcoming reunion.
