In their thirty-third episode, Brooke Rees and Marriya Schwarz are inspired by the upcoming remake to talk about the OG 2004 Mean Girls.

They also talk about other media, like Genie, Oppenheimer, and the Percy Jackson series.

In their twenty-ninth episode, Brooke Rees and Marriya Schwarz discuss the new Hulu streaming release, Quiz Lady. They talk about their experiences with siblings, trivia, and how straight-to-streaming films are either hits or misses. They also talk about other media, like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, All the Light We Cannot See, and Scorpion King.

In a special twenty-eighth episode, Brooke Rees and Marriya Schwarz are joined by the fantastic Ted Hogeman to fit one more spooky piece of media, The Haunting of Hill House, into their roster.

In a special twenty-sixth episode, Brooke Rees is joined by McKaylah DeKay and Megan Dukes to talk about the horror movie Talk to Me (something Marriya Schwarz would never let happen.)
