Are there a ton of stars in this movie? Yes.
Is it a musical? Kind of...
Is it weird? YES.

The genres of musical/comedy both feel like a bit of a stretch for this eccentric 2005 movie.  Starring Kate Winslet, James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Mandy Moore, Mary-Louise Parker, and MANY other recognizable names - this is one that left us scratching our heads wondering how the heck so many people signed on for this movie! Despite it all, we have to admit that Kate went full send on her firey mistress character.

In The Life of David Gale, Kate Winslet is a reporter getting an exclusive scoop on the events that lead up to a man landing on death row. The catch? He has spent his entire career as an anti-death-row activist. Smells fishy, right?  We were a little surprised by how swept up we were in this drama, as the whole movie is a race against time while Kate tries to put the pieces of the puzzle together.  Co-starring with the always incredible Laura Linney, Kevin Spacey (whose character's actions certainly continue to not age well), and an opera-loving-always-lurking-cowboy (Matt Craven) - come along with us as we review this dark thriller/mystery/drama and find out how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet films!

Finding Neverland stars Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, and Freddie Highmore and is based on the true story of the penning of Peter Pan.  Though it may stray from historical facts, the movie is charming, fantastical, and moving.  This is a 'kid's movie' that adults can equally enjoy and we just loved it.  Listen here to find out how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies!

1800's England, two cousins... what could go wrong? Apparently everything. Join us this week as we review Jude. Despite wanting to yell "what is wrong with you! no!" at the screen the whole time while watching this, we agreed the disastrous plot was actually engaging. Kate's character frustratingly waffles on her morals the entire time, everything looks damp and cold, and we both cried. Find out where Jude ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies by listening to this episode!

Two more early kid's movies from Kate Winslet are being reviewed this week! Faeries was Kate's first voice-over animated role - a fantastical premise set in a tiny world in the woods.  A Kid in King Arthur's Court was Kate's second movie and surprisingly features a bowl-cut-laden medieval Daniel Craig. We think Kate and Daniel deserve a re-do as co-stars as they've gone on to do such amazing things!  Listen to hear how these early showings stack up against Kate's other 44 movies!

The 2001 romance drama, Iris, captures the life of novelist Iris Murdoch between flashbacks of her youth and her present-day battle with Alzheimer's.  This movie's poignant and effective tug on the heartstrings is no doubt a testament to the stellar cast including Kate Winslet, Dame Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Bonneville, and Penelope Wilton.  This film is melancholy, but it packs a punch in just over 90 minutes. Tune in to hear how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies!

Buckle up for possibly our favorite episode of the season reviewing A Christmas Carol (... :The Movie) and Buttons (.... :A Christmas Tale). One is a classic holiday story, with a ~twist~ including mice, distractingly poor animation, and a UK chart-topping single by Kate Winslet herself!  The other is like watching a community theater production - what year is it? why are the background characters mouthing the words of lines that are not theirs? it's a musical?! Kate only has one line and then ISN'T IN THE MOVIE?!  In other words - it's wholesome but not good and we cried laughing while recording the episode and you absolutely don't want to miss it!
