For Better or Worse

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure turns 25 this year, and, despite the use of a phone booth as a mode of traversing time, Shana and Mike think this one holds up rather well. Also, Mike believes this movie is in the Doctor Who Universe, Shana ponders George Carlin's status as a deity, The Brothers Wilson write in, a schedule change is made, and the first round of The Douchies are announced. Please vote in all of the polls, and be excellent to each other. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Shana and Mike are not here to remake Casablanca. Recast and tweak it a little, yes. But not outright remake it. Also, neither can pronounce Ugarte, Shana prepares for flames, Mike lays down the law, and The Douchies are finally explained.

Shana and Mike agree: The Graduate is a hugely influential black comedy, but it spirals out of control after a certain point. Listen as they fix this problem with their remakes, then they address lots of feedback, including a song by Ian Wilson. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Shana and Mike tackle what is easily one of Tim Burton's finest pictures: Edward Scissorhands. Listen as the husband explains why it took him over 20 years to see the movie a second time, as the wife pines over Johnny Depp, as they both extol the talents of Dianne Wiest and Danny Elfman, and as they lament the lack of feedback.

In the style of the When Harry Met Sally... transitions, Shana and Mike open the show by outlining the journey that led to their marriage, then the wedded duo discuss this near-perfect movie. (Note: If you want to skip all of the lovey-dovey romance, jump to 26:43.) Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Christmas is here, and, in that spirit, Shana and Mike fix their gaze upon Scrooged! Join them as they discuss the highs and lows of this meta-adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

As Shana and Mike examine The Rookie, they find themselves troubled by one major sticking point. Namely, is it one movie, two, or even three? Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, and to pay thanks to Christian Honore for his generous donations to For Better or Worse, Shana and Mike remake their first animated feature: Pocahontas. Be like Christian, and visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Despite eight wonderful actors breathing life into their characters, Shana and Mike take issue with The Big Chill. Death, drugs, dancing, and dalliances do not make a plot. Also, by the end of the show, the couple decide upon the first two movies they'll be covering in 2014! Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.

Say it once, say it twice, but whatever you do don't say it thrice, because in this For Better or Worse doubleheader, Shana and Mike remake Candyman and Beetlejuice. Please visit our Patreon page at http://www.patreon.com/forbetterorworse.
