Join Janet and Rachel for a cozy holiday special! In this episode, we are counting down our absolute favorite Christmas movies of all time.

We aren't spoiling the list here—you’ll have to listen to find out which classics (and surprises) made the cut. Grab some cocoa, settle in, and see if your favorites match ours.

This week on Should I Watch That?, Janet and Rachel dive into the sticky, paranoid world of Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest sci-fi black comedy, Bugonia.

We’re breaking down the chaotic energy between Jesse Plemons (our favorite unhinged conspiracy theorist) and Emma Stone (the ice-cold corporate girlboss who might literally be a bug). Is this a sharp satire on how the internet broke our brains, or just two hours of screaming in a basement?

In this episode:

The Vibe Check: Does this beat Poor Things on the weird-o-meter?

The Plot: Why kidnapping your boss to save the bees is (probably) a bad HR move.

The Verdict: Is the bleak ending brilliant or just a buzzkill?

Should you watch it? Tune in to find out if this one is worth the squeeze or if it should’ve stayed in the hive.

Rachel and Janet take on All’s Fair, a sharp, flirty courtroom dramedy where love, ego, and strategy collide. We start spoiler-light with the hook, chemistry between the leads, and whether the case-of-the-day structure serves the bigger story. Then we dig into craft—pace, banter, needle-drops, and how the script balances stakes with swoon—plus a look at direction and production design (yes, those wood-paneled courtrooms). After a clear spoiler wall, we unpack the third-act choices, final arguments, and what the ending says about winning versus being right.

Claire Danes is crying again, and this time, she’s brought a friend! In this episode of Should I Watch That?, Janet and Rachel dive into Netflix’s new psychological thriller, The Beast in Me.

We’re talking about bad neighbors, worse secrets, and the undeniable chemistry between Danes and Matthew Rhys. Does this star-studded limited series deliver the thrills, or is it just another "rich people problems" drama? Tune in to find out if you should binge it or skip it!

This week, we are reviewing HIM, the Jordan Peele-produced horror thriller that turns a football training camp into a nightmare. Starring Marlon Wayans in a chilling performance, the film asks how far an athlete will go to be the best. Janet and Rachel discuss the scares, the acting, and the twisted ending. Is it worth a watch? Listen now to find out.

This week, Janet and Rachel are heading to the lab to review Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited, visually stunning Frankenstein.

Starring Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, this is not the simple monster mash you’re expecting. It’s an emotional, tragic, and sweeping epic about ambition, abandonment, and the search for love in a world that fears what it doesn't understand.

Is it a haunting masterpiece or a tragic misfire? We break it all down and give you the final verdict you've been waiting for.

Rachel and Janet unpack The Wrong Paris, a fish-out-of-water mystery that ping-pongs between glittering France and down-home Texas. We break down the hook without spoilers, the culture-clash humor, and how the story pivots into a twisty whodunit. Then we talk performances, pacing, and whether the “two Parises” concept is more than a gimmick—plus craft notes on cinematography, score, and those postcard-ready city shots.

For our Halloween Special, Rachel and Janet marathon a stack of classics—Halloween, The Exorcist, Hocus Pocus, The Shining, Scream, and a few TV staples (looking at you, Treehouse of Horror and Buffy). We start spoiler-light with why each pick still works (or doesn’t): signature scares, vibes, and watchability with friends. Then we dig into craft—practical effects vs. CGI, iconic scores, final-girl tropes, and the magic of autumn lighting. After a clear spoiler wall, we talk best kills, favorite twists, and which versions/director’s cuts to queue. Finally, we crown the ultimate Halloween double-feature for different moods (party night, cozy nostalgia, and pure dread).

Rachel and Janet dig into The Girlfriend, a glossy true-crime/relationship thriller that asks how well we really know the person we love. We walk through the setup (spoiler-free), how the show balances romance, suspicion, and online sleuthing, and whether its interviews and evidence feel credible. We also talk pacing, soundtrack choices, and visual style—plus what it says about control, trust, and the algorithms that amplify drama. After a clear spoiler wall, we break down the final reveals and whether the last episode sticks the landing.

Rachel and Janet take a careful, respectful look at Monster: The Ed Gein Story—a true-crime retelling of the 1950s Wisconsin case that shaped American horror. We cover what the series focuses on (investigation timeline, rural isolation, and media myth-making), what it avoids, and how responsibly it treats victims and community. We also break down pacing, archival choices, and interview credibility, then talk about why Gein’s crimes echo through films like Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs—without glorifying the perpetrator. After a clear spoiler wall, we discuss the final episodes’ interpretations and where the storytelling lands.
