What do Titanic, Chinatown, Jerry Maguire, Deliverance, Field of Dreams, Rambo, and Brokeback Mountain have in common?

Selene and Pascale have quoted them for years… without ever seeing them.

In this laugh-out-loud episode of Life in Jest, the hosts dive into famous movie quotes from movies they actively avoid—unpacking why certain films feel unbearable, overrated, emotionally manipulative, or just plain not worth the trauma. From “I’m king of the world” to “You had me at hello,” they dissect iconic lines, misquoted classics, and cultural catchphrases that somehow became part of everyday language anyway.

Along the way, the conversation veers (as it always does) into:

• Why some “beloved” movies are emotional deal-breakers
• Misheard and misremembered film quotes everyone gets wrong
• The absurdity of pop-culture reverence
• Unusual names, name mispronunciations, and identity
• Why romance movies lie to us
• Peanut shells, squirrels, crystals, sports bars, and Attica (yes, that Attica)

It’s a Seinfeld-esque episode “about nothing”—except culture, memory, language, irritation, and the strange ways movies seep into our lives whether we want them to or not.

Funny, honest, irreverent, and deeply relatable—this one’s for anyone who’s ever said a movie quote and thought, Wait… I’ve never actually seen that.

🎧 Life in Jest is a conversational podcast about pop culture, memory, frustration, humor, and the human condition—served with wit, warmth, and zero pretension.
