Split Happens

Do you love horror movies with a hero who is a rockin non-conformist that can't wait for a gaggle of preppy pricks to get their comeuppance?  And also, Gene Simmons as a disc jockey, Ozzy Osbourne as preacher, and acclaimed Solid Gold dancer Tony Fields (RIP) as a recently crispified and mostly deceased hard rock idol? You might think this sounds like a fever dream, but it is actually 1986's Trick or Treat!!!

ANNA-is the pro, and she has the power of kick ass trivia, an amazing rock soundtrack (yeah, we said it), dance moves (all amazing, no notes), and even a Tim Curry reference, so safe to say she won't need a trick to get a button push out of Katrina. Or will she? 

KATRINA-is the con, and she had tequila. And she loves kick ass trivia, amazing rock soundtracks, dance moves off kinds, and of course, Tim Curry. She gives up and accepts her fate. This one is all treats, no tricks. Listen and enjoy!!!

It's our 2nd to last spook-tober episode for 2024, and if you are a demon disguising as a human this one is going to scare the spirit out of your soul-less corpse! This movie is so good Matthew McConaughey is better than all right, all right, all right. Sorry, it was right there. And Powers Boothe as Special Agent Wesley Doyle? Yes, please! Enjoy Bill Paxton's directorial debut, 2002's Frailty!

KATRINA-is the pro, and she loves this movie so much she barely gets Bill Paxton mixed up with Bill Pullman. Barely. She has trivia, insults for Anna, tequila, insults for Anna. But does she get a button push from Anna, or does the Colorado altitude make her immune? 

ANNA-is the con, and if she thought a Matty Mac movie would be a slam dunk for the con, she has another thing coming! He's great in this! What will she find to distract Katrina from her serial killer love fest? Listen and find out!

Wanna plaaaaaaay..........our latest episode? Will you be our podcast friend till the end? C'mon, these hints are gold. Plus, we give you the name of the episode at the top, so you kind of go into this with an advantage. The Split Happens sisters can't think of anything that gets you more in the mood for spooktober than an adorable, albeit homicidal foul mouthed doll with an unending un-alive list. We are thrilled to bring you 1988's Child's Play.

KATRINA-is the pro, and she has about 7 hours of pre-synopsis trivia, which works out great since Anna distracted her with about 7 gallons of tequila during the episode, so things may get more sloppy than spooky.

ANNA-is the con and she sure does love foul mouthed short people, being as she is one, and Katrina is banking on this episode being button push nirvana. If only she can see straight to push the button........

A movie about furry little creatures from outer space causing a ruckus? Have the Split Happens got the repeater going on? Heck no, it isn't Christmas, it's spoooooooky season! That means they are covering the movie about the OTHER movie about furry little creatures from outer space that cause a ruckus. Specifically, ruckus creatures from 1986. Specifically called Critters.

ANNA is the pro-and she is armed with poison quill covered trivia, as well as the knowledge that along with the power of tequila, Katrina's love for Tim Curry look a likes should make her powerless against the button push of doom. "Dee Wallace get your ass on stage!"

KATRINA is the con-and after she realized this movie was not about fried corn wrapped in dough she thought, "hey, that's a con, this isn't going to be so hard!". But then she remembered, Tim Curry look a likes.........

We are kicking off our month of spoooooky episodes with a suspenseful, supernatural, spirit filled gem. This movie has everything: An 80's soap opera star; enough Aqua Net to destroy the ozone layer; gum; a Ouija board; a possessed spirit who may or not be a pissed off 10yo.........everything!!!!! Enjoy 1986's Witchboard!

KATRINA IS THE PRO-and even though there isn't much trivia for this movie, that doesn't stop her from going on and on about how incredibly amazing and bananas this movie is! She feels pretty confident that between their lifelong love for Stephen Nichols' titular role of Steve "Patch" Johnson from Days of Our Lives and Kathleen Wilhoite's perfect portrayal of psychic Zarabeth, she will get a button push from Anna. OR ELSE!!!

ANNA IS THE CON-and she is well aware of Katrina's tricks and is planning to deny her love for Patch and Zarabeth like a disgruntled spirit refusing to go into the light. Whoops, wrong movie. She's a savvy ho, but will high spirits (again, wrong movie) and her love for 80's horror films possess her conning ways??? Listen and find out!

Is that a dragon in your pocket or..........hey, knock it off! This is a podcast that is only MARGINALLY inappropriate when covering children's movies, and boy do we have a doozy for you! Do you like dragons, and songs, and orphans, but not overly fond of dragons from outer space, or just don't trust Sheb Wooley in general? Same! Look no further than 1977's fire breathing heart warmer Pete's Dragon! And just to be clear before you ask and maybe didn't see the date, this is the orIginal, not the remake, because WE DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!!!

ANNA-is the pro, and as usual she has tons of the 3 t's: trivia, tequila, and talking back. She gets extra salty when defending cherished childhood movies, but movies she loves with Helen Reddy and Mickey Rooney? Everyone better shut up! 

KATRINA-is the con, and ordinarily we are real cautious about saying anything negative about "the mouse", but this time.....we still don't touch the name that rhymes with Stickey Clouse. She does has a few other cons up her sleeve, and she made sure to not day drink the day of recording to smugly stand in judgment of one Mr. Rooney. Boom, roasted.

Hey!! Who wants to be able to perform complex facial reconstruction surgeries without going to medical school??!! To quote the hot European lady from Super Troopers, "I do, I do!!!". Better yet, what if we said we have an episode about a movie that is so cuckoo bananas it needed not ONE, but TWO action stars? Enter dancing queen himself Sir John Travolta and "nepotism makes me sick but the Godfather is still a classic" Nicolas Cage. Please enjoy our equally cuckoo bananas recap of 1997's Face Off!

ANNA is the pro-and in addition to some kick ass trivia, she also brings sass, tequila, trickery, and a touch more tequila. Will this lethal combination be enough to carve, heh, heh, a button push from Katrina? 

KATRINA is the con-and while she feels confident that the pure silliness of this movie in combination with her steadfast resolve to not enjoy Nicolas Cage movies since Leaving Las Vegas should make it easy to avoid a button push, she DOES love dancing, and you know that sly fox Travolta can't help but sneak a booty shake in.

If something is happy the first time, isn't it happier the 2nd time? Us twice married people think so (Katrina, that is), so we thought, "Hey us, why don't we try re-recording an episode that people seem to love, and put that theory to the test?"!  Except this time Katrina is the pro, and Anna is the con! Genius! Get ready for the swashbuckling romp that is 1982's The Pirate Movie!

Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins in Australia doing a "modern" take on the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Pirate of Penzance...what exactly is there not to love???

This award-winning film (Nominated for nine Razzies and winner of three) has been described by critics as "unwatchable"  and "excruciating"  and "literally painful to get through" and is a personal favorite of the Split Happens sisters. If you'd like to see it before you listen to the episode, it's conveniently located exclusively on YouTube.

Anna and Katrina decided that there are just not enough podcasts about a benevolent animated fox and the grown human women (woman) who have developed feelings for said fox, and these women (Anna) need their (hers) voices heard! Please join us as we take a not creepy at all trip down memory lane as we discuss 1973's Disney classic, Robin Hood!

ANNA-is obviously the pro because she would have it no other way, and honestly was quite frightening during the negotiations on this topic. She comes loaded with trivia, tequila, and love, and has no time for feeble minded attacks!

KATRINA-is the con, and for the first time might be terrified of the pickle she is in. Not because she can't scrounge up a con or two. Oh no, that's not it. ANNA IS TERRIFYING WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!! But tequila makes you do silly things, like ignore overt threats.
