Friday Night Wine Fight

This week the girls take aim at... Musicals From Our Childhood...

Bianca opened the episode with what is a musical film and reeled off a few from our childhood, being the decades of the '80s and '90s. Then she openly and unabashedly declared Grease 2 is better than Grease 1.

Sarah is a massive musical film lover and shared a few of her favorites; Singing the Rain, Kiss Me Kate, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, and GIGI.

Amy finished us all off with her most favorite musical film (because she forgot about Blues Brothers and Annie), the Disney classic Mary Poppins.

This week the girls take aim at Fact or Crap...

Amy kicked off tonight's show which is a game show like quiz. The rules are simple, each co-host takes turns in asking the other co-hosts if something she has just said is either Fact or Crap.

Since Amy introduced the topic she decided that they would not keep score unless, of course, she won the game. Let's just say shenanigans quickly ensued and there was some creative scorekeeping by Bianca.

The co-host who was victorious will be revealed to those who listen to the episode.

FYI Amy wasn't impressed with the result.

The week the girls take aim at... OMG! I'm So Dumb

Sarah jumps straight into the night's topic by having her own OMG, I'm so dumb moment confessing that despite knowing she's dumb she couldn't think of a specific story to demonstrate the fact. Amy and Bianca came to her rescue and recounted many stories where Sarah was not at her brightest.

Amy was the meat in the sandwich this week and discussed the time she went and got a tattoo. After showing it to her parents her father asked a reasonable, parent-style question. Amy's answer is a great example of how she is often "the most smartest".

Bianca finishes us off by recounting a moment when she was out with friends and realised she was the dumbest person in the group. The saving grace was the friends she was with at the time were all quite intelligent so Bianca calls it her "Penny" moment after the character from the TV series Big Bang.

This week the girls take aim at... True Crimes: random tales...

Bianca opened the episode with links to a website that she discovered on Tiktok! The website is called Mapping the missing. Then Bianca eagerly got into her segment; The Great Butter Heist (Thank you to our biggest Canadian fan for the topic).

Sarah discussed the fate of the Gruber family. The Grubers resided in Germany during the 1920s and were murdered rather mysteriously.

Amy finished us all off with the very condensed (seriously there are so many moving parts to this story) timeline of Susan Powell's murder.

This week the girls take aim at... Movies on Disney +

Amy opened tonight's topic by explaining that this week we decided to do another round of a topic we did last year called Hey Watch This Movie. The rules are simple. Each co-host picks a movie for another co-host which the viewing co-host has not seen. The viewing co-host will then report back on what she thought of the movie. This time around we decided to narrow the search to movies available on Disney +.

Amy was required to review the movie Darby O'Gill and the Little People released in 1959. Much to Amy's surprise she really liked the movie, although it might have had a lot to do with a very handsome young Sean Connery who co-stars in the movie.

Sarah was assigned Down Periscope and noted that it was "sufficiently funny".  The movie was released in 1996 and stars Kelsey Grammer and many well-known actors from the 90s. 

Bianca finished us off by giving us a blow-by-blow of her thoughts through each part of the movie she was tasked with being Alien vs Predator. Bianca was so engrossed by the movie, many of her thoughts are not even sentences. It's like listening to her brain work.

This week the girls take aim at...Fur Babies

Sarah opens with bad audio that she is very sorry for and jumps right into opening the weeks topic with some of the more unusual products out there for your furry friends. These are things that you may, or may not have known existed. For example; Pet Cams or a Dog O'matic. Sarah unloaded a hatbox full of crazy to share with the girls and to get their opinions.

Amy then discussed some statistics around exotic pet ownership before introducing; Hexxie the 5-meter Burmese python owned by an English family and Agee the polar bear owned by a Canadian couple. Amy then ended her segment with a couple of celebrities that own or have owned exotic pets.

Bianca went in a different direction and just got drunk instead, she reminisced about her past pet birds her current pets, and her fur niece and nephew. Bianca ends the topic with some more celebrities that own or have owned exotic pets.

This week the girls take aim at... Extraordinary Coincidences

Bianca opened the episode by explaining what a coincidence is. After this, she threw in a fun tid bit about a coincidence theorist. Then on to the good stuff... Bianca asked "So ladies are you ready to play coincidence or conspiracy?" to which they obviously said yes.

Sarah discussed coincidences involving a name on a bill of money and some terrible decisions made at sea.

Amy finished us all off with some Abraham Lincoln-related coincidences and then embarrassed herself with her fantastic tale of the sun being the same size as the moon.

This week the girls take aim at... World's Worst Decisions

Amy kicked us off tonight reminding us that sometimes poor decision-making is really only something that can be judged with the benefit of hindsight.

Amy then went on to discuss two poor decisions, in her opinion, that whilst light-hearted had a pretty devastating impact on those involved. The takeaway from this segment is "own your wreckage".

Sarah was the meat in the sandwich this week and discussed the time Mr John Sununu cast doubt on climate change setting the United States of America back many decades in handling the current climate crisis.

Sarah finished up by telling us about the time the Scottish invaded England. Too bad there was a plague going on and all the Scottish soldiers had to bring home to their families was a few weird boils and a funky smell.

Bianca concluded tonight's episode by telling us the story of what is known in history as the Great Leap Forward. This was actually three giant steps backward for the people of China who unfortunately paid the cost of a leader who didn't understand how things worked.

This week the girls take aim at... Not So Christmas Movies

Sarah opens this week's topic with an explanation as to what a Not So Christmas Movie is.  These movies are also known as Christmas adjacent movies. These movies are set on or around the festive season but the storyline has little to nothing to do with the holidays and could be set at any other time of the year and the storyline would flow the same. Some examples of these types of movies are, Die Hard, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Batman Returns, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, In Bruges, and Ironman 3.

Sarah then jumps into her chosen movie for the night, Gremlins. This movie was released in 1984 and has been entertaining kids and adults ever since. The storyline starts with small mutant green monsters tearing through the small town of Kingston Falls. Shenanigans ensue as a mild-mannered bank teller accidentally releases these hideous monsters after getting a new pet and violating two of three simple rules: no water (violated), no food after midnight (violated), and no bright light. It is then up to him with the help of his friends and new pet Gizmo to save the town and the people in it.

Amy decided to discuss a movie that always gets a run at her house around the holidays. Lethal Weapon was released in 1987 and is set around the holiday season with many scenes of the movie featuring Christmas elements. She discovered that it is no coincidence that this Christmas action movie was set during the holiday season on purpose. 

Was it pivotal to the plot? No. Could the movie be set at any other time of the year without changing much to the plot? Absolutely. However, the writer of Die Hard the movie, Steven De Souza explained in an interview that the producer of both Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, Joel Silver, liked movies set at Christmas so they would be played on TV around the holidays. 

Bianca chose L.A. Confidential as her movie of the night and makes the argument that it should have won the 1997 best picture Oscar, instead of The Titanic. This terrific drama, based on the novel by James Ellroy, delves into police corruption and cover-ups in the LAPD in the early 1950s. It actually begins on Christmas Eve, with a violent police-station brawl, as several cops, juiced up on massively spiked eggnog, beat several Hispanic and black suspects in their cells. The headline splashed across the newspaper the next morning is “Bloody Christmas” (which happens to be the title of another movie that isn’t on this list). This leads us to the main plot: Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, and Kevin Spacey work to figure out who killed several people at a diner, including Crowe’s partner, who was involved in the Christmas Eve scandal.
