Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  June is Pearl Clutchers month and I mandated Cuties, a movie about a dance troupe of young girls who, lacking any guidance from the adults in their lives, mimic the overtly sexual dress and dance moves they see online.  This film created a firestorm a couple years back, not due to the film's content or themes, but Netflix's obnoxiously thoughtless marketing that focused on the young leads posing provocatively in their skimpy dance duds.

How's the movie?  Well, that's what we're here to find out!

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month we're asking if the movies from our childhood are As Good As We Remember.  For our final episode this month, my sister has mandated we watch Flight of the Navigator, a movie that answers a question we wouldn't think to ask until decades later: What if Siri was Pee-wee Herman?

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month my sister and I are mandating older movies we enjoyed when we were younger but haven't seen in decades.  Today, we're taking a look at my mandated movie, The Faculty, a late '90s riff on The Invasion of the Body Snatchers set in a small town high school.  We saw it in the theater when we were in high school and thought it was spiffy!

But we're adults now.  Is it... As Good As We Remember?

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  Could Be a Porno month comes to an end with our final movie that could be a porno, Holes!  Who's holes?  How many holes?  What's going in or coming out of those holes?  We'll, we'll just have to watch the movie and find out!

Porno or children's film, one thing's for certain: it's likely not a fun watch for trypophobes!

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  It's April and that means we're celebrating films with titles that Could Be a Porno!  We're kicking off the festivities with Fun With Dick and Jane, the earliest example of a movie I can think of that made me giggle like the immature child I was and arguably still am.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  Feel-bad Movie month concludes with Keleigh's pick, Legends of the Fall, a film about the extensive bad karma that's visited upon you and yours when you abuse animals.

At least, that's my read.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  You've heard of Feel-good Movies?  Well, March is all about Feel-bad Movies!  Stories that may be genuinely great but they leave you feeling hopeless, dirty, and alone as you sit naked in your shower stall under a cold spray and gently cry yourself back to some semblance of comfort.  There are many such films to pick from but whichever one we watch, the result is going to be the same.  It's real... Sophie's Choice!

See what we did there?

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  We're kicking off Black History Month with my mandated movie, Hidden Figures, a film that dramatizes the significant contribution black women made to the space program in the 60s.  Normally, I'd pretend I knew who these women were even before the book this film is based on released - you know, for internet cookies - but their stories being purposefully buried in history's trash bin is kind of the point so yeah, let's spend an hour critiquing these women's titular figures!

Figures as in math.  What did you think I meant?
