Say it…out loud…LOUNGE LIZARDS! Still coming at you from Cape Cod, Ashlynn and Kate revisit a millennial cult classic (though Ashlynn may disagree), Twilight. What would spooky season be without a vampire movie? 

On this episode of Lounge Lizards, we ponder the unnerving red flags of all the key players, reminisce about peak Twilight fandom culture, debate being Team Edward vs. Team Jacob, and discuss Kate’s potential new career path…maybe with a little special guest visit. Hop on, spider monkey!!

Coming to you with a ~destination episode~, we’re embracing the “Get Out” of it all and recording from Kate’s parents’ house! Who better to discuss Jordan Peele’s thriller following an interracial couple meeting Rose’s white family for the first time than your favorite interracial lesbian lovers? 

On this episode of Lounge Lizards, we’re taking you on our juice cleanse journey while we discuss one of our recent favorites, Get Out. We go on the hunt for all of Jordan Peele’s Easter eggs hidden throughout the movie, break down some stereotypes, and debate which parts of us would be up for auction…

Be careful what you wish for, girls! In honor of spooky season, the Lounge Lizards are discussing Ashlynn’s all-time favorite movie, Practical Magic. Seriously…she can recite the film word for word, and she plays a game to prove it! It begs the question — was she born into a coven??

In this episode, we question how critics could possibly give this cinematic masterpiece a 25% on Rotten Tomatoes, praise the perfectly mystical soundtrack featuring rock’s favorite witch, Stevie Nicks, and decipher the meaning behind many… interesting superstitions. Tune in to find out who we’re doing a blood oath with and if we’d resurrect someone from the dead!

While spooky season has a mandatory watchlist of horror films, witchy romcoms, and unsettling thrillers, us Lounge Lizards decided to kick off our Halloween watch party with a classic horror spoof, Scary Movie 2 — because nothing is more on brand for Ashlynn and Kate than to pick the least obvious movie choice (not even the OG Scary Movie??)

Join us as we chat about Halloween, the Wayans Family dynasty, and dissect the comedic genius of the first two Scary Movies! In true Lounge Lizard form, we play a rousing game of FMK and also pitch our own spoof movies. 👻

Catch us in the après ski lounge — where the drinks are chilled, but the drama is sizzling! On this week’s episode of Lounge Lizards, Ashlynn and Kate head across the country to Mormon territory exploring the fascinating lives of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. We’re celebrating the fifth season premiere of Bravo’s hit franchise — trying to serve our own taglines, chat about how we’re Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow apologists, and wonder how we’d fare as Bravo housewives…

Join us as we discuss the evolution of this franchise, and how this season seems to negate any naysayers that didn’t think it would level up post-exit of last season’s villain, Monica. Will Meredith and Whitney team up together to release a bath bomb collaboration? Who will Mary M. Cosby call inbred now that Heather is Ozempic-ified? Is Bronwyn wearing a costume or couture?

Are you an Ugly or are you a Pretty? On this week’s episode of Lounge Lizards, Ashlynn and Kate talk about the recently released Netflix fever dream, Uglies, based on the YA series written by Scott Westerfeld. This movie has everything a preteen is looking for in a dystopian future — hoverboards, Instagram filters, and evil hot people!

Listen as we try to understand the psyche behind McG’s directing choices, the tuneless EDM bops on the soundtrack, and whether or not we’d get plastic surgery for a better tomorrow! What would you change about yourself if it meant “saving the world?” Would you let Laverne Cox give you a fierce makeover?

Scathing Rotten Tomatoes Review: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/uglies

Uglies is Impressively Bad Tweet: https://x.com/modeltits/status/1834998516592034200

What’s the Street Sayin’  It's what's on the inside that counts, but unfortunately Uglies doesn't have much going on in there, either.

Just be warned…if you say it once more, there shall be chaos and hell in store! On this episode of Lounge Lizards, Ashlynn and Kate review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to the 1988 cult classic created by living legend, Tim Burton. In case you were wondering if this sequel could ever live up to the OG — we will certainly give you the tea! 

We’re discussing WHY certain cast members may not be available for the sequel * DRAMA*, how we’d want to hitch a ride on the Soul Train, and how Tim Burton is always casting his latest squeeze in his films. See if you can stack up against Kate’s knowledge of Tim Burton cinematography, pick your own FMK partners from the franchise, and drop a line about whatever song you’d choose to up the “Day-O” ante!

Aaaaand we’re back! Your resident Lounge Lizards have made a full recovery from Covid-19, but we’re still recovering from the terror of the newest installment in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus. We discuss our new obsession, Alamo Drafthouse, try to make sense of the first twenty minutes of the film, and debate how we’d fair against the Xenomorphs.

Who are you introducing an alien to? Would you rather fight an alien or a robot? Do you think you could make it past the Xenomorphs without getting attacked? We’re prepping for the inevitable proof that alien life really does exist, so we need answers!!

These Disney princesses don’t need no man! This week on Lounge Lizards, Ashlynn and Kate needed a comfort watch  — and what better choice than the OG fierce warrior princess, Mulan. We discuss how this movie impacted both of us as children, the buuuuumpin’ soundtrack, and how Shan Yu is in desperate need of a spa treatment.

We discuss honor, voice actors, the homoerotic tendencies between Mulan and Li Shang, and who our ancestors would send to help us win the war. Plot twist — Ashlynn will probably win…

Did you take magic mushrooms in the halls of Harrenhal with Daemon? Well, after listening to this episode, you might think you have! This week on Lounge Lizards, Ashlynn and Kate discuss the entirety of the second season of House of the Dragon. Like Alys Rivers, we too predicted the future in our second episode, so we revisited some of our theories to see if they came to life over the course of the season.

With a rousing game of FMK roulette, we successfully insert ourselves into one of the most talked about series in recent history. We debate the divas, the dolls, and the drug pushers. We even visit the echo chamber of TikTok and X to see if other fans share our opinions!
