High School Slumber Party

Join Kyle Reinfried, Mike Manzi and of course your Slumber Party host Brian Rodriguez as they preview the Marvel movie event of the year; Spider-Man: No Way Home. Will their predictions come true? Find out in our next spoiler filled episode. 

What's up, danger? Spider-Month swings into the final film we'll be discussing before No Way Home; Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This Academy Award winning animated film introduced audiences to teenager Miles Morales and his origin story as Spider-Man. Guest Mike Manzi and Brian discuss all the Spider-People in the film including Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), Peter Parker (Chris Pine), Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) and of course Spider-Noir voiced by network namesake Nicolas Cage.

Spider-Manzi (Mike Manzi) returns to the slumber party to talk about the most polarizing, controversial and impactful Spider-Man film of all time; The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Despite returning stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and new faces like Jamie Foxx, Dane Dehaan and Paul Giamatti; The Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed in the eyes of critics and fans. Mike and Brian discuss what's redeemable about the film today as well as everything that happened as a result of the film missing the mark. 

We're swinging into another Spider-Man episode as Spider-Manzi (Mike Manzi of The Monsters that Made Us) joins us to talk The Amazing Spider-Man. Same web-slinging powers; different guy in the suit...as Andrew Garfield dons the mask in this 2012 reboot of the franchise. Mike and Brian talk about their feelings originally hearing about and watching the film as well as their thoughts today almost ten years later. Directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) and also staring Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Rhys Ifans, Sally Field and Denis Leary; The Amazing Spider-Man is a polarizing addition to the wall-crawling legacy of Spider-Man. 

Elementary? No, it's AP! Co-hosts Aislinn Addington and Brian Rodriguez are on the case this week as they chat Netflix's Enola Holmes. Find out just what Arthur Conan Doyle's estate had to say about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes younger sister and just how much more we respect Millie Bobby Brown for her work on the film. The film also stars Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin and Helena Bonham Carter. 

Look out! Here comes Spider-Manzi! Mike Manzi returns to the Slumber Party to talk 2002's Spider-Man directed by Sam Raimi and starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. This groundbreaking super hero film not only ushered in a whole era of Spider-Man films; it also ushers in the start of our Spider-Month as we cover the Spider-Man films that will lead us to the premier of Spider-Man: Far From Home. 

It's that special time of year once again as we induct the 2021 Class of the High School Slumber Party Hall of Fame. Join us for the glitz, the glamour and to find out which actors and filmmakers will get inducted into the exclusive group. 

Believe it or not today marks our first every Lindsay Lohan slumber party as Alexa Barikian returns to chat 2003's Freaky Friday. Alexa and Brian break down Lindsay, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chad Michael Murray (and a disturbing realization about his character), the music of Pink Slip and everything else that makes this Disney body swap film an early the aughts classic. 

The second part of our two part discussion of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1 starts with a bang as we discuss Twilight's "This is Brazil!" moment with guests Joe Two and Kate Hudson. Listen as Joe treats us with his Breaking Dawn rendition of "Island Boy", and as we discover an interesting Yahoo search from the movie. We also preach the gospel of #JusticeforLeah and imagine what Ice T's reactions would be to the difficult happenings of Breaking Dawn part 1 like imprinting and vampire-human pregnancy. Of course we also chat plenty of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner as well!

Our Second Life Saga continues as Kate Hudson and special guest Joe Two are here to chat The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1. Listen as the coven discuss some breaking (dawn) Twilight news like Kristen Stewart's engagement, Taylor Lautner's engagement and Robert Pattinson's lack of engagement. Also, listen for our deep dive on the Twilight soundtracks, funcles and of course the wedding we've all been waiting for. You guessed it...Brian, Kate and Joe talked for a LONG time...tune into part 2 of the episode on Monday.
