Plot Twisters

Every now and then The Plot Twisters meet up in their metaphorical tree house and watch a film from the past, and share their opinions on it. This is one of those moments. Today's film? Now And Then (1995), a movie with a bunch of famous people in it. Demi Moore, Treehouse Dollars, Night at the Museum, and of course, time travel. This one also has three twists technically.

You know when you've been thinking about a film since high school, and can't get it out of your head, and then one day you decide to look it up and see how it's doing? This is that episode. There's Something About Mary (1998) is today's film to twist, and folks: it's not what you remember.

Where can you avoid Natalie Portman discussion? Anywhere but here, as it turns out, because on this episode, we're talking about her 1999 film with Susan Sarandon about mother-daughter relationships: Anywhere But Here! On this episode, Intense Natalie, Fun Emma, Flighty Mothers, and Steve Jobs' sister.

We watched Beavis and Butthead Do America and then recorded a podcast episode about it. I don't really know how else to prepare you for this episode.

This episode is a total... what is it? Hoot? Laugh? Joke?! Anyway, we're talking about the horror classic from 1996... SCREAM! In this episode: Halloween Costumes, Milennials don't answer their phones, and Emma spooks Anders several times.

Be there or be square, and by there, I mean here, listening to this episode, where the Plot Twisters are talking about Cry-Baby (1990). Musicals, John Waters and the quadratic formula? Throw 'em all in, yeah baby!

We're holed up in here, and we're not coming out until you listen to our demands... and watch Strike! (All I Wanna Do) (1998) with us!  We're talking about segregated education, Rachel Leigh Cook, talking to girls, and yes, we are aware that we hardly mention the film at all in this one.

We're approaching this one from three different points of view. Emma's, Anders', and the point of view of someone who doesn't SEEM like they'd have a very fancy cat... but does have a very fancy cat. It's time to Go (1999) talk: pyramid schemes, raves, glitterbomb packages and shrimp. And why this movie should have been called something else.

We're back in 1999 and talking about The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola's debut feature. Somehow, we make this one about fish. Why is it always fish?
