The summer blockbuster is here and Olivia and Emily are back from their short break, like a certain scientist who took a step away from chasing tornadoes; and, like how she saves the day, Olivia and Emily save yours with a refreshing review. They cover if the movie should have been scarier, did the movie actually have enough science for nerds, and where all the actors are on the same page. Also, they dig deep into Emily’s very real tornado phobia and what it was like watching a movie which is all about tornadoes! 

Twisters was directed by Lee Isaac Chang, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell and was released on July 19, 2024.

Emily and Olivia break down a new film this week, Fly Me to the Moon, and discuss if it is actually just good or great. They talk about the different value of different types of films and if all movies that are impactful must be dramatic, the great side characters, and if we should really be making a movie based on a conspiracy theory.  Of course there is also some slight roasting of the lack-luster chemistry from the leads and why we have trouble believing in Channing Tatum’s acting. Oh, and there is also the normal shenanigans of philosophizing, giggling, and confessing of the true story of being the only one laughing in a theater. AWKWARD…

Fly Me to the Moon was directed by Greg Berlanti, starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum which was released on July 12, 2024.

Emily and Olivia discuss what they consider to be some of the best sports movies, what makes a sports movie, and how sports are inherently ripe for story telling. They break into discussions on how sports allow us to connect through pain and build community as well as tie into our innate tribal instincts. Of course, there are giggles, debates, and a few blonde moments. Oh, and spelling is totally a sport!

Emily and Olivia discuss season three of Bridgerton and how it was entertaining, however it only gave them a taste of positive progression. They talk about how they wished the season focused on the main love interests, Penelope and Colin, and did not get lost in all its side plots. Their conversation touches on how Bridgerton does hint at a lot of progressive ideas yet how the show under-delivers, they praise how the show handles  consent, and they talk about their love of costuming. Of course, Emily and Olivia dive into more deep conversations around womanhood and conventional beauty standards as well as daydreaming about the day they receive an innovation to a ball.
