This week, our sister Astrid joins us again as we talk about a lighthearted Christmas comedy,  "Unaccompanied Minors"🎄✈️🎅✨ This movie is special and nostalgic for us and one of Astrid's favourite movies. In this episode we discuss how 2006 was an iconic year for movies and why this is one of the Christmas classics that we will watch every year✨ Astrid talks about how much she loves the character Charlie Goldfinch played by the great Tyler James Williams, and how his quotes from this movie have become iconic. Meanwhile Lovisa talks about why she loves being at the airport and why having a Christmas movie set there makes a lot of sense to her. In addition, Gustav mentions the number of big comedic actors that were in this movie and how he likes this movie even though it might be a silly, clichéd Christmas movie aimed at a younger audience.

This sweet yet forgotten little Christmas movie from 1991 is truly charming and worth watching, and this week we talk about it 🎅🎄🎁🐁🏙 Lovisa vouched for this movie and talks about why she loves it and why she would like to live inside it. She talks about it’s charming locations, the special relationships that play out and this movie’s irresistible 90’s nostalgia✨ Meanwhile Gustav talks about what happens when adults write dialogue for children, how the “stepfather” character was done dirty, and which parts of this movie that he cringed at but also parts he thought were sweet❤️

This week we watched the 2000 Jim Carrey classic The Grinch for what feels like the first time✨🎄🎅 We discuss the bizarre and almost “too real” take on Jim Carrey’s costume, his intense and iconic way of acting, and how much we loved the narration by Anthony Hopkins and most of all the character of Cindy Lou💕 Lovisa talks about how much she loved the costume designs for all of the Whos, particularly one scene where Cindy Lou wears a hat that is also a cup of eggnog✨ Meanwhile Gustav talks about how this movie felt a bit like a fever dream to him, the dangers of childhood bullies achieving high positions of power in later life, and which characters in this movie we ultimately think are garbage.

This week we talk about the newest addition to Adam Sandler’s collection of movies: an animated movie about a lizard named Leo 🦎🚌📚🐢 It is an endearing story about a class pet that, in true Adam Sandler fashion, is both very funny and heartfelt. In this episode we discuss voice acting, animation and reminisce about what it felt like to be humbled by going from being the oldest kid in elementary school to being the youngest kid in middle school. Lovisa talks about how she liked Adam Sandlers voice acting for the lizard Leo and discusses the so called "Adam Sandler formula" where he manages to combine genres to create something that feels very true to his film making style. Meanwhile Gustav talks about the moments that he actually laughed out loud in this movie and some of the movie's more heartfelt moments. We also talk about the funny voice acting of Bill Burr and Gustav expresses his frustration with certain animation franchises choosing the same “big name” actor for their lead roles.

This week we sat down for a casual catch up episode, where we just have an impromptu conversation about what we’ve been watching lately ✨🎥🍿📼 In this episode we discuss whether or not we’ve ever cried while watching a movie on a plane, and if we would ever rewatch the movie Me Before You. Lovisa talks about all of the movies that she watched on her ten hour flight from Beijing and revises her answer from our first introduction episode about the worst movie she’s ever seen. Meanwhile Gustav talks about the movie Gifted and how it made him cry but in a good way. He also talks about recently watching The Truman Show and tries to convince Lovisa to watch one of his all time favourite movies The Shawshank Redemption.

This week we have a special episode for you as it is about a movie that we both love, starring the iconic Jack Black and directed by the distinctive Richard Linklater, "School of Rock" 🎸📚🚌📓  According to us, this uplifting, clever, funny and well written early 2000’s movie makes the world a better place✨ In this episode we discuss what a good idea this concept is, how this role was written for Jack Black and how much we love Joan Cusack as the adorable Ms Mullens. Lovisa talks about how she wishes she could take Mr.S's class on rock history & appreciation, and how he actually manages to teach the kids some valuable life lessons. Meanwhile, Gustav discusses how Jack Black's character manages to place these kids on an equal playing field by creating a project where everyone has an integral role, and also how he related to this movie as a musician and as a drummer when he was a kid.

This week we have a special guest on the podcast, our sister Astrid! She’s with us this week because we talk about a very iconic and nostalgic movie for the three of us: the live action Scooby Doo adaptation from 2002.🎃👻🐕🏝 This charming, spooky, funny and weird 2000’s gem is a definite Halloween watch, or as we conclude, a must watch for any other time of the year as well! We discuss the topic of whether or not this is actually a “good movie”, or if we just like it due to its immense nostalgia for us. Gustav does some research and finds out what the movie was initially supposed to be, and concludes that Fred has some serious Kenergy. Meanwhile, Lovisa discusses how she wishes the movie included its deleted scenes, and how she still finds this movie as scary as she did back when we were kids. And Astrid discusses which one of the characters in the Scooby gang each of us would be, as well as her thoughts on Shaggy’s fashion choices✨

This week we watched the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. We start out by talking about Gustav’s love for the ninja turtles as a child and how we used to watch episodes together when we were kids. We discuss the cool visual style and how this movie felt like a reboot for Gen Z. Gustav talks about how this new take differs from the 80’s tv series and how he feels that maybe the movie was trying too hard to be hip. Meanwhile Lovisa talks about how cute she thought the turtles were, how they seemed like real teenagers and also how Jackie Chan is one of her “movie grandpas”.

In this Halloween episode we talk about the perfectly spooky, exciting and beautifully made 2009 stop motion creation Coraline 🎃🕷🧵 We discuss how impressively this movie was made and all the incredible dedication and attention to detail that goes into stop motion. We also talk about the wonderfully courageous personality of the main character Coraline, and what she can teach the audience about problem solving and facing one's fears. Lovisa talks about how this movie is the perfect Halloween watch and just the right amount of creepy and spooky. Meanwhile Gustav discusses the deeper meaning behind the button eyes and puts his own spin on "Other Father Song".

Optional drinking game: Take a shot every time Gustav says the word "vivid" and/or every time Lovisa says the word "gaslight" 

This week we both watched the 1980’s movie Ghostbusters for the first time 👻 This funny, charming, goofy, slightly spooky and somewhat outdated classic makes for a fun Halloween movie night. We discuss the movie's use of special effects and how this was an interesting era where they still handcrafted pretty elaborate sets, and also discuss the ways in which some ideas and concepts in Ghostbusters are outdated and don’t quite hold up with the standards of 2023. Lovisa talks about all of the moments that she found funny in this movie, and also a few moments that she found terrifying, including a moment where eggs started cracking and cooking on the kitchen counter quite inexplicably. Meanwhile Gustav talks about how the plot was a bit weak, how the characters never seemed to be in any real danger and how he wished the movie had a little more substance.
