Whoa, a Super Troopers episode?! I'm freaking out, man! This 2001 comedy from Broken Lizard is about as good as it gets, and Anna is ready to prove it.

Shockingly, margaritas once again lead to bad accents, mistaken celebrity deaths, and this time Katrina defending the honor of a fake bear...this one gets real stupid; you're gonna love it.

-ANNA steps in as the PRO and she's locked and loaded with tons of trivia and quotes.
You may notice she says Jay Chandrasekhar's name a whole bunch in this and that's because she's committed to accuracy. And also because it's the only name she practiced beforehand.

-KATRINA wants you to know she really, really tried to come up with good attacks and not ALL of them are dumpster material. And all animals deserve our support. Even fake, stuffed, costume ones.

Was it a good idea for Katrina and Anna to get annihilated on tequila before and during recording? First of all... I resent the question and why are you talking so loud?

Not since episode #1 have things gone so far off the drunken rails, but it eventually got pulled together kinda. Regardless, this episode we celebrate the 1998 witchy flick, Practical Magic, starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Also Aidan Quinn and Stockard Channing. And beautiful angel-face Dianne Wiest.

-KATRINA has seen this movie dozens of times and is ready to defend it against Anna's nonsense attacks, and has a hair trigger hand hovering over the dreaded red button in case Anna slips up.

-ANNA hauls in a giant bag of garbage takes, and may or may not end up crying like a little bitty baby child at the end. 
Also...pancakes.

Hey, the Split Happens ladies are on location! They leave the studio and travel to Chicago where they decided to celebrate the 1987 classic, The Untouchables. Katrina has lots ands lots and LOTS of interesting trivia about the movie, and Anna insults the the entire population of Chicago with a pitiful attempt at  their accent. And if that wasn't bad enough, Anna now has to avoid the dreaded Rule Break Button!

-KATRINA leads this one and defends a movie with a fantastic director, a fantastic writer, and a fantastic cast. It's heavily stacked in her favor, but will it be enough to fend off Anna's critiques?

-ANNA is determined to take this one down, and she'll use all the fake knowledge she can muster to do it.

This is NOW, now! Happy May the Forth, everybody! For Star Wars Day we chose Mel Brooks' brilliant spoof, Spaceballs. We were on location recording this time which makes it extra special. It also means we sound a little strange and it's releasing super late.

So hop in your space Winnebago and enjoy the episode!

-ANNA captains this one and leads through a riot of a movie with tons of trivia. She also gets fairly hammered and then may or may not have ended up dancing like a moron. 

-KATRINA hauls her garbage takes to the table and fights as best as she can to take down a movie she's seen a thousand times.

Hey everyone! This week's episode is all about James Gunn's 2021 Suicide Squad, because it's awesome and so are we.
Okay, we'll admit it--in this one we mispronounce several of the actors' names. And also their characters' names. And sometimes said the wrong character altogether. AND we had some minor-ish technical difficulties towards the end. Whatever... it's not even a big deal, don't worry about it.

-KATRINA lands a lay-up of a movie and does her best to block Anna's attacks with incredible behind the scenes trivia and setting up a minefield of thirst traps.

-ANNA tries to take down Katrina's defenses with her own comic book knowledge and some trivia about one of the actor's adult movie history.  C'mon, you know you wanna know what it is, but you're gonna have to listen to find out!

Hey it's a 4/20 release, everybody! Sure you could spend the day watching one of the dozens of movies about getting high...but have you considered watching a children's movie about cartoon bears fighting a pissed off, shape-shifting, red-headed demon by just staring at it instead?  

KATRINA defends this adorable, childhood favorite against Anna's unrelenting criticisms and questions whether or not Anna could benefit from some bear stares.

ANNA is determined to walk away from this episode the Camp Champ and she comes in hot with her attacks.

Like Kristin Wiig's character, Annie: are you in your 30's, have 40,000 dollars in debt, and live with a weirdo? Okay well, we can unpack all that later, but for now...how about listening to our episode on the 2011 movie Bridesmaids! It will solve none of your problems because you are your problem. You are also your solution.

-ANNA shows up with quite a few attacks she feels are strong, though none as strong as whether or not it's likely someone would make one, and only one, cupcake. Who knew this would be such an enraging issue for her, but Anna is real fired up about it! 

-KATRINA has zero worries about having to defend a movie she feels is unattackable. Though someone making a solo cupcake was not something she thought she'd have to defend against, but whatever.

This week's episode we talk about the 1998  anti-hero movie, Blade.

The incredible Wesley Snipes plays the titular vampire vampire-hunter, and if you don't think we giggled at the word titular, you must be new here. Welcome!


-ANNA is ready to attack a movie she truly adores. And by ready, I mean forced. Despite her reluctance, she does have a few questions for Katrina:
Are vampires really so bad? Is it weird some of them can avoid exploding with sunblock? Why do they love rubber duckies? 

-KATRINA has her trusty notebook filled with interesting trivia and an unquenchable thirst for most of the cast. Will she let any of Anna's attacks sully this movie? You'll have to listen to find out...

In this episode, we discuss the awesome 1986 "slasher" flick: April Fool's Day. This movie has everything--a clever premise, the amazing Deborah Foreman, a creepy winking Jack in the Box...everything. 

*If you haven't watched the movie and don't want the ending spoiled, check it out and then come back and listen to the episode.

-ANNA defends this truly unique 80's horror movie. Does it still hold up? She certainly thinks so and wants you to know why. Spoiler alert: because it's rad. 

-KATRINA attacks this time and finds it wasn't particularly difficult arguing against a Jack in the Box, a skeevy character, and 80's era homophobia.

Are you ready for the power? Because He-Man's got it and he wants to give it to you and oh boy that doesn't sound like I thought it would. What I'm trying to say is He-Man wants to show you how much power he has in his sword okay I'm just gonna move on.

This episode we're fighting over the launchpad movie for the He-Man spinoff: She-Ra, and things get real dumb.
So grab a giant bowl of neon-colored breakfast cereal, sit criss-cross applesauce 5" away from the tv like a proper 80's latchkey kid, and enjoy!
Oh and by tv, I mean whatever you use to listen to podcasts.

-ANNA leads the defense on this one and that rules because this movie is adorable. And also super, super gay. It's like an awesome animated 90 minute Pride flag.

-KATRINA attacks a childhood favorite and discovers the movie is still incredibly enjoyable, and also very easy to destroy. It comes from a place of love though!
