Danielle’s birthday pick is taking center stage, and yes, the red tutu finale still hits. Jackie and Danielle revisit the 2000 ballet drama that made a generation believe they could dance harder, dream bigger, and maybe avoid Cooper Nielsen.

This week on No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle review Center Stage, the Y2K dance movie starring Amanda Schull, Zoe Saldana, Susan May Pratt, Peter Gallagher, Ethan Stiefel, Donna Murphy, Sasha Radetsky, and more. Danielle shares why this movie has always been one of her all-time favorites, while Jackie brings a more grounded take on the ballet school drama, messy romances, and very intense American Ballet Academy pressure.

The episode dives into the movie’s release, box office performance, and critical reception, including praise for the dance sequences and the decision to cast real dancers. Jackie and Danielle also talk about Zoe Saldana’s film debut, Amanda Schull’s connection to ballet fans, body doubles in major dance scenes, and the Broadway talent behind the Higher Ground dance class.

From Jody Sawyer’s fight to prove she belongs to Eva’s self-sabotage, Maureen’s pressure-filled relationship with ballet, Charlie’s supportive energy, and Cooper’s questionable choices, Jackie and Danielle break down the characters with plenty of humor, nostalgia, and honest fandom hot takes. They also revisit the salsa club scene, the Staten Island Ferry outing, the Mandy Moore needle drop, and the unforgettable final performance set to “The Way You Make Me Feel” and “Canned Heat.”

Whether you owned Center Stage on VHS, watched it on DVD, or discovered it later through streaming, this episode is for every 2000s dance movie fan who still remembers the red pointe shoes, the ballet school drama, and the finale that remains a pop culture favorite.

Jackie and Danielle are closing out Joshua Jackson May-hem with a howl-worthy deep dive into Cursed, the 2005 werewolf thriller that somehow combines Hollywood satire, suspicious CGI, and one very confused plot. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, this horror-comedy had all the ingredients for a cult classic. Instead, it became one of the most fascinating studio messes of the Y2K era.

In this episode of the No More Late Fees podcast, Jackie and Danielle break down everything from the movie’s troubled production history to the unintentionally hilarious werewolf transformations. They discuss the stacked cast featuring Christina Ricci, Joshua Jackson, Jesse Eisenberg, Judy Greer, and Mýa while debating whether this movie should have leaned harder into horror or full camp.

The episode also dives into:

• Behind-the-scenes drama involving rewrites, reshoots, and deleted footage

• The original practical effects that were replaced with CGI

• Jesse Eisenberg’s early movie roles and unexpected “glow-up”

• Judy Greer’s standout performance and wild final reveal

• The strange world of mid-2000s horror trends

• Funny commentary about werewolf logic, terrible decisions, and random celebrity cameos

• Fandom hot takes about Joshua Jackson’s villain era and the movie’s cult potential

Jackie and Danielle also share box office trivia, critic reactions, and their present-day Ratings Rewind scores while revisiting one of the weirdest horror movies of the 2000s. Whether you watched Cursed back in the day or are discovering it for the first time, this episode is packed with nostalgic laughs and sharp pop culture commentary.

From whispered lies to one very questionable final twist, the No More Late Fees crew revisits a movie that feels surprisingly relevant in today’s social media age.

This week, the hosts break down Joshua Jackson’s dark turn as Beau, James Marsden’s unsettling performance as Derek, and why Kate Hudson absolutely understood the assignment as Naomi.

The episode also includes behind-the-scenes trivia about deleted scenes, casting what-ifs involving Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Love Hewitt, and the surprising production history behind the film.
