Have you wondered what a movie that has the hijinks of Home Alone but with fashion would like? Have you gone to the doctor and thought "Gee, this office is great, but I wonder what it would look like if the nurses had really impractical bright neon clothes!"?  Wonder no longer, because this week the Split Happens sisters are bringing you 1991's totally bananas Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

KATRINA-is the pro this week, and she is here to tell you that everything in this movie makes perfect sense and there is nothing weird at all about a 17yo pretending to be an adult so she can work in the fashion industry and take care of her 4 younger siblings while her mom is in Australia. TOTALLY NORMAL!

ANNA-is the con this episode, and she is here to tell you that Katrina is wrong and that it is whack-a-doodle to have a 17yo pretending to be an adult so she can work in the fashion industry and take care of her 4 younger siblings while her mom is in Australia. WHACK-A-DOODLE!

The Hills are alive! With a new episode!!! We're baaaaaaaaaaaaack, and boy do we have a delightfully bananas movie we are covering! We've got animation, music, animated music,  The Beatles (kind of), and flying fingers. The makers of this film didn't do every consumable drug known to man kind  for you to miss this one, so buckle up and get ready for 1968's The Yellow Submarine

ANNA-is the pro on a movie she has seen dozens of time, and was a formative film of her childhood. Which explains A LOT! Despite ongoing tech issues which gobbled up her trivia notes she comes armed with information about one of the most beloved bands of all time, and a movie that makes the term "bat shit crazy" an understatement. 

KATRINA-is the con, and she is going to have to shoot her love for this delightful madhouse into animated space. You ask, are her cons logical, realistic, or well-formed? To which Katrina responds, "How dare you, and also, is this movie? Boom".

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, want the episode! Pleaaaaaaaase! This week the Split Happens sisters flew all the way to Tibet to bring you an episode brimming with facts, a small child with mad magic skills, a dagger that turns out was not named after the singer Ashanti (missed opportunity, Paramount), and of course, Eddie Murphy. Raise your goblet to 1986's The Golden Child

KATRINA-is the pro this week, and she can barely fit in all of the facts and things she loves about this movie. Fortunately Anna brought tequila so that shuts her up a little bit. 

ANNA-is the con and boy does she have some things to say about the special effects and magic tricks. Who hurt you, Anna? A magician? Find out if her garbage takes are enough to avoid the dreaded button push!

You ready to get down with a little "murder, death, kill" Snipes style? If you know how to take care of your daily business while using 3 seashells then you are prepared for this weeks episode from the Split Happens sisters. Enhance your calm and get ready for the 1993 action packed crime caper Demolition Man!

KATRINA-is the pro this week, and she is wishing mellow greetings to all who love Westley Snipes as the irascible Simon Phoenix. She is full of joy-joy while watching Anna in a boggle trying to not say anything positive as the sisters discuss this movie set way way way in the future of 1996.

ANNA-is the con, and since Katrina is an old-fashioned lover of crime driven cinema, she is going to be an old-fashioned ball buster. Can Anna blow Katrina's trivia, we mean, blow her trivia out of the water? Listen and find out!

Ruff, ruff, ruff. Bark. Bark, bark, bark. Grrrrrrrrr. Awwwwwwww. If you understand this, then you are one of many who love the canine classic, 2000's Best in Show!

ANNA-is the pro this week, and she is positively BEGGING to catch Katrina say something positive about this perfect film, and is ready to put any negative takes in the dog house. 

KATRINA-is the con, and she is trying to avoid this episodes version of the button push, the button of shame. Can she avoid Anna's kennel full of trivia? Listen and find out!

You're the audience, we are the tequila saturated chuckleheads. Don't be thrown off by the matchstick in the mouth instead of the hat turned backwards. Sly is all business, and business is gooooood. This week the Split Happens sisters bring you the classic, YES CLASSIC, action flick, 1986's Cobra. 
 
KATRINA-is the pro, and she is practically beside herself with trivia about her new favorite thespian, the incredible Brian Thompson. She feels pretty confident that she is going to get a button push out of Anna. I mean, who can resist complimenting Brigette Nielsen modeling with robots? 

ANNA-is the con, and she pulls a bamboozle that Katrina did not see coming. Is she scared of getting a button push? She has a few tricks up her sugar soaked chef's coat that not even Sly himself can defend.

Mon dieu! If gnomes, ghost rides, and well meaning meddlers are included on your list of things you love, we have the episode for you! This week the Split Happens sisters bring the joyous French film, Amelie!!!!!

ANNA-is the pro this week, and she is happier than a little girl who's imaginary friends  support her non-conformist spirit as well as her constant query "Are Cabbage Patch Dolls (TM) real children? (Oui!)". 

KATRINA-is the con, and in summary, she is le screwed. The question isn't whether she will get a button push or not, but how many, and can she handle the consequences (tequila)? The morning after the recording of this episode was definitely not tre bien!

We hope you love nuts as much as we do, because this week the Split Happens sister bring you a holiday film so full of charming nuggets it will make a pack of squirrels say "screech screech  screech screech screech screech!!!!!!" (they don't talk, silly). And if you are a person who loves to read reviews before you watch a new movie, don't. Welcome to the 1994 holiday classic, Mixed Nuts, starring Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn, Rita Wilson, Adam Sandler, Liev Screiber, Juliette Lewis, Anthony Lapaglia, Jon Stewart, Parker Posey, Robert Klein, Rob Reiner, Garry Shandling, and even a very young Haley Joel Osment. 

KATRINA-is the pro and is so thrilled to talk about how amazing the cast is, and according to Anna, Katrina  will go on and on and on and on and about Madeline Kahn. It is true she is amazing as always, but Katrina is also trying to trap Anna into a button push. Because Anna can't resist Kahn. Bwahahahahahaha

ANNA-is the con and scared nutless about getting a button push, to the point she refused to acknowledge that the incredible Madeline Kahn is even in this movie. It is a bold strategy, will it work?!

🎶🎶Have you..been dreaming..of an episode..with two movies in it?🎶🎶 Well do we have the episode for you! When two tequila tipsy sisters can't decide between two beloved animated Christmas classics what else can they do but do neither of them?! That can't be right. Damn tequila. They do both, that's it! And there's a twist! This week we bring you 1964's Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer and 1965's A Charlie Brown Christmas!!

This week Anna and Katrina are both the Pro and the Con. How can this be you ask? Is it a Christmas miracle? Sort of.

KATRINA is the Pro on that galloping ruby snooted reindeer, and Anna better come with more than criticisms about the beautiful sound that comes from Rudolph's sniffer when he takes flight.  Hooooooooooonk!!!!!!

ANNA is the Pro for the peanuts gang, and is hopeful that between a play where none of the cast is off book and a tree that is more eek than oooooohhhh can help Charlie  get his yuletide groove back.
