Lifewine Podcast

This week, we delve into a veritable trope-o-copia of overacting, confusing relationships, and muddled motivations…but enough about your Lifewine hosts! Join us as we descend into A DANGEROUS DATE (2018), starring Jillian Murray, Brianna Joy Chomer, and David Chokachi. There is so much to love about this film that we almost had to make it a two-parter! Plus: Foreplay names, Rachel is a muse, and we’re kicking off the first chain letter podcast.

Fact: In the Lifetime Movie Network universe, the 1990’s didn’t end until the late 2000’s. Proof: A LOVER’S REVENGE (2005), starring Alexandra Paul, William Moses, and Gary Hudson. A psychopath with too many names blames his battered wife’s unexpected death on the local radio psychologist. Also, Stephanie still hasn’t seen The Wire, Rachel still hates Quentin Tarantino, and Zach blames his intestinal distress on the truffles.

In honor of Lifetime Movie Network’s 31st anniversary (and Lifewine’s two-year anniversary as a podcast!) we’re discussing the very FIRST Lifetime movie: MEMORIES OF MURDER (1990), starring Nancy Allen, Robin Thomas, and Vanity. This inaugural effort has no lack of our favorite tropes, confusing character motivations, or remarkably conspicuous late-80’s fashion choices. Don’t forget to remember to listen to this one!

Finally, the Trinity has been reunited in the studio! To commemorate this momentous event, we’re discussing “The One That Shall Not Be Named”, aka DEATH OF A CHEERLEADER (1994), starring Tori Spelling and Kellie Martin. Many false starts and stumbles have led to this episode, so we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did recording it for you. We even talk about the movie occasionally!

This week, Stephanie and Rachel’s childhood PTSD is triggered as they examine LETHAL SOCCER MOM (2018), starring Sarah Grey, Christina Cox, and Tanya Clarke. Some parents will stop at nothing to ensure their child is the very best at what she’s being forced to do! We  ask movies to stop showing vomit, discuss a fascinating phenomenon that causes one to permanently lose their talent overnight, and Auntie Rachel doles out advice. Our goal is to make sure you get a kick out of this one!

The Lifewine crew has been reunited (virtually)! Join us as we review Jodi Picoult's SALEM FALLS (2011), starring James Van Der Beek, Sarah Carter, and AJ Michalka. Small town secrets, witchcraft, and are we EVER going to talk about the semen??? Let the naked rituals commence!

Even the Trinity needs a break now and then…so this week, we’re sharing our Patreon episode from March of this year, I CARE A LOT (2020), starring Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, and Eiza Gonzalez. Sometimes art is provocative, and sometimes it just pisses people off. When that happens, Lifewine will be there to bridge the gap! We’ll dive into the reasons behind the backlash while also unpacking the many positive qualities about the film that may have been missed on the initial watch. And of course, we find some time to praise Gary Oldman for being born.  Our regular schedule will resume next week, and very soon we will reunite in the studio for the first time in nearly 18 months! Thank you for understanding as we take a much-needed breather. We love you, and you’re fine!

When this train wrecks, it POURS. This week, the part of Zach will be played by Rachel as two-thirds of the trinity gather to discuss THE BABYSITTER’S SEDUCTION (1996), starring Keri Russell, Stephen Collins, and Phylicia Rashad. Grab your favorite pair of killing gloves and sit back as we modem this episode directly over to your ear holes!

This week, we encounter a film so atrocious that even its IMDB page has jumped ship! In DEADLY MISCONDUCT (2021), starring Anna Marie Dobbins, Louis Mandylor and Colt Prattes, we learn the true meaning of creative impropriety. More importantly, we create a new dramatic principle that would certainly make Chekhov proud (or offended, we aren’t sure which).

Lifewine Podcast presents our greatest train wreck yet! Bestowed with a surprise scheduling misinterpretation, we shift gears mid-summary and even trade identities as we discuss ESCAPING DAD (2017), starring Sunny Mabrey, Trevor Donovan, and Jason Wiles. We Rock/Paper/Scissors our way through the Reverse Stapler and attempt to forget the Diamond Trifecta as we ring in Father’s Day early. Try as you might, there’s no escaping the Lifewine Trinity...
