Film to Table

Join us as we revisit Friends Season 6, Episode 9, "The One Where Ross Got High" (1999), better known as “The Trifle Episode.” We dig into Rachel's infamous dessert moment, Monica and Chandler's not-so-little secret, Phoebe’s crush, and Joey + Ross’s flimsy plan to get out of dinner early.

Plus, we share some of our own Thanksgiving memories, including legendary family food disasters involving a very unfortunate Italian soup pot.

🍝 QUESTION FOR THE TABLE:
What’s a funny memory of something that went poorly during a holiday dinner?

s Bedknobs + Broomsticks a Halloween movie? Michelle is advocating for it!

In this episode, we discuss the many elements this film shares with Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, why we love Angela Lansbury as Miss Price, and some excellent casting options if Disney ever decides to remake it.

We call out our favorite scenes, agree on what could be cut, and, as always, end with a dinner party + a round of this or that.

Hop on your bed, tap your knob three times, and turn it a quarter to the left. There is much magic to enjoy!

🍝 QUESTION FOR THE TABLE:
Who would you cast as Miss Price and Professor Browne today?

In this episode, we're heading to Salem for Michelle’s first-time viewing of Hocus Pocus (1993).

We chat about how this movie has become a full-blown cultural phenomenon for millennials, gush over the theatrical production design, and, as always, go deep into some ’90s nostalgia topics like niche cassette tapes and making chocolate lollipops.

We also share some childhood pop culture memories, debate which Sanderson sister we'd be, revisit our favorite scenes, and imagine the ultimate Halloween dinner party with some very unusual guests.

🍝 QUESTIONS FOR THE TABLE:
- What's one iconic movie from your generation that everyone seems to love, but you've never actually seen?
- What is a random piece of media that could only be found in your house growing up?
- Which Sanderson sister would you be?

We're heading to Pawnee for a Halloween-ish TV Dinner, covering Parks and Recreation Season 2, Episode 7, “Greg Pikitis.” In addition to unpacking the episode's unique name, we call out our favorite characters and Michelle shares some behind-the-scenes tidbits about the show. Mostly, we're chatting about why earnestness is at the heart of what makes Parks and Rec such a comfort show.

We also swap stories of teenage “vandalism” and stolen pumpkins, and, as always, wrap things up with a TV-tray dinner party. 🎃🍿

Our Fall-ish film series continues with another Tim Curry classic: CLUE (1985)!

In this review, we explore how the iconic CLUE board game became a movie, dig into the development of this beloved cult classic, and highlight all of the unforgettable performances from its ridiculously talented cast. We ultimately decide that we need to watch this movie a million more times because, honestly, we love it that much.

In a Film to Table first, we also experience a real-life CLUE incident in the middle of our recording — a mysterious incident that remains unsolved. 👀

So grab your champagne glass and join us in the dining room. Your chair awaits!

We’re continuing our Fall-ish season with a first-time viewing of Practical Magic (1998). We ponder why it took us so long to watch this movie, and whether, perhaps, there was a reason we waited.

We have a million and one questions, desperately want more of the Aunts, and discover that one of us has some VERY strong feelings about the legendary midnight margaritas scene.

Open your umbrellas, jump off the roof, and join us for an unhinged discussion of Practical Magic!

🍝 QUESTION FOR THE TABLE: What food or drink are you associated with?

We’re kicking off our fall movie season by rewinding to a family favorite, a film we covered way back in our first season.

In this special remastered edition, we’re revisiting what we love most about You’ve Got Mail: Nora Ephron’s writing, her unique characters, the magic of New York in the fall, and the ways technology plays a role in the film.

Grab your favorite book and pull up a chair. We have much to discuss!

We’re continuing our TV Dinner series with a Michelle pick from the Idea Jar: Gilmore Girls, Season 1, Episode 7, Kiss and Tell.

Whether you are on Team Dean or wish he’d move back to Chicago, we can’t help but celebrate with Rory! In this episode, we’re breaking down her adorable first kiss and the way it changes her dynamic with her mom.

We’re celebrating fall. We get nostalgic about movie nights. We wonder if Dean is secretly into Lorelei. And we end with a very weird dinner party between Taylor Doose and Mrs. Kim.

Hope you’ll pull up a chair ( or maybe a Luke’s Diner stool) and join us for this fun conversation.

Welcome back to another TV Dinner episode! This week we’re covering the pivotal(?) FRIENDS Season 8, Episode 12, The One Where Joey Dates Rachel.

There is much to discuss, such as: do we like Joey and Rachel as a couple, or are they better as friends? As usual, our conversation kicks up a lot of personal memories, including the weird game machine we had in our basement, college rollerblading, and our own “Geller Yeller” family newsletter.

We also imagine our perfect dates, compare our own dating “moves,” and build dinner trays for an at-home Joey and Rachel date.

Pull up your recliner, watch or rewatch the episode with us, tell us what you think of Joey and Rachel, and subscribe for more nostalgic movie and TV conversations. Stick around until the end to see what we pull from the Idea Jar next!

🍿 Watch (or rewatch!) along with us, then let us know your favorite New Girl episode in the comments.
