Anyone ready to get medicated?! Anna and Katrina chose the red pill so they could bring you the cyberpunk science fiction classic 1999's The Matrix! Get ready to have reality blown out your bum bum.

KATRINA-is the pro this week, and she mostly ignores any technical trivia to reduce the chances of sounding like an idiot, as well as to increase the opportunities to talk about Keanu's appearance. Sigh.......Can she get Anna to fall down the rabbit hole into button push land? 

ANNA-is the con and is dodging compliment traps as if being chased by affectless agent. Except the person chasing her has a drunken grin on her face and isn't actually moving because of age. We don't need an Oracle to figure out how this is going to end.

Are you ready to start Keanu-tember?! Well, the sisters certainly are, and they're starting their Keanu Reeves-themed month with the 1994 action-filled thriller: Speed! 

Directed by Jan De Bont and  starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper, and Jeff Daniels.

KATRINA-is the PRO and she's raring to go! She's got an arsenal of interesting trivia and has answers to all your burning questions, like: Did Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock get along during the making of the movie? How many of the stunts did Keanu actually perform himself? And just how did they do that bus-jumping scene?

ANNA-is the CON and she has a trick up her sleeve this episode--sobriety. Yep, Anna goes in drinking water and ready to attack. Will it help her avoid the button? Listen and find out!

Are you someone who hears the amount $2.00 and are instantly taken back to a time in the 80's where an obsessed teen bordering on being a stalker, mixed with a foreign exchange student and a gaggle of psychotic paperboys equals instant hilarity? We have so much in common. Grab your Frawnch Fries,  Frawnch Dressing, Frawnch Bread, and wash it down with some Peru, and enjoy this weeks episode covering the 1985 John Cusack film Better off Dead.

ANNA-is the pro, and along with some hilarious trivia, she has a movie full of one-liners plus Booger from Revenge of the Nerds on her side! If all of these things are not enough to elicit a button push she also knows Katrina's kryptonite, John Cusack's dimples.

KATRINA-is the con, and spoiler alert, if you are someone who enjoys hearing Katrina experience the pain of a button push, this episode will have you smiling like you just successfully skied the K-12 on one ski despite the complete impossibility of this feat. Spoiler alert #2, she ain't happy about it either.

Have you been waiting for a podcast with an episode about a movie telling a story about the mysterious Dark Crystal? Have you often wondered how it was damaged by one of the Urskeks, thus setting off an age of chaos? And did you then want to know how it lead to an evil race of grotesque birdlike lizards, the Skeksis, ruling their fantastic planet with an iron claw, where no Gelfling (kind of an elf looking thing) was safe? Wow, this is really weird, because this week, the Split Happens sisters are talking all about the wonder that is Jim Henson's 1982 fantasy classic, The Dark Crystal.

ANNA-is the pro this week, and she is more excited than a bunch of a Skeksis at an all you can eat Gelfling buffet. She is armed with trivia, the absolute gem that is Aughra, tequila, more tequila, Colorado altitude, and tequila. Katrina should be no match for the red button of doom, right? 

KATRINA-is the con, and she is more terrified of tearing down this beloved childhood classic than a Podling at an essence sucking convention. That sounds so wrong, but once you write it, it stays in. Can she successfully toss her shots of tequila behind her back like they do in the movies so she can keep her wits about her? Only if she successfully does it the first time, because after that, all bets are off. Listen and find out!

Jolly Ho! This week the sisters are traveling back in time to The Middle Ages, where the mythical king of Britons leads a band of misfits on a quest for the Holy Grail. This movie has more one-liners than a comedy roast, so join us on our journey for this weeks episode, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

ANNA-is the pro, and if you thought you couldn't learn anything else about the monty python crew after Time Bandits, Anna says "hold my mead". She knows exactly which parts of this movie could trap Katrina into a button push, and will be delivering more than a "flesh wound". 

KATRINA-is the con, and despite being super sick she is bringing the attacks like a killer rabbit. Is John Cleese as a rude Frenchmen gonna break her? Maybe. But she is going to keep chopping away at this movie until Anna is forced to say "Ni!!".

Time to ditch the Starlite Starbrite trailer park and start defeating the Ko-Dan forces to save the galaxy because this week the sisters are hopping in the StarCar and taking on 1984's The Last Starfighter!

ANNA-is the PRO this episode and she's willing to bring forth a space armada and a bitching space scepter to take down Katrina. Will it work? She's pretty plucky, that one.

KATRINA-is the CON and has her guard way up after the most recent button pushes. Maybe she can get her hands on one of those androids and make a Beta Katrina to distract Anna.

**Hey everyone, we had some audio issues on this one so apologies for the wonky sound. Not sure what happened, but it may or may not have had something to do with shots of tequila.**

In a dystopian America, a falsely convicted policeman gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts, runners, must battle killers for their freedom. If you are asking yourself, "Are the Split Happens sisters doing a movie about Press your Luck?". You wish, tuna fish. This week's episode sends us hurtling way too fast in a definitely not safety tested toboggan right into 1987's Stephen King classic (writing as Richard Bachman, shhhhhhh), The Running Man!!

KATRINA-is the pro, and she'll be back with some more kick ass trivia about our favorite muscled Austrian  thespian. See what we did there? Cuz Arnold catchphrase is "I'll be back" and then we just said "She'll be back". Clever ho's. Can Katrina lure Anna into a button push whilst also requesting a new accent? Let's see!!

ANNA- is the con, and she's got plenty of nonsense about electricity, aging up Mick Fleetwood, and.....cigars. Can she distract Katrina with a new accent while avoiding a button push? Probably, it doesn't take much to distract that one. Listen and find out who will be the ultimate champion!

Are you ready for something both STRANGE and UNUSUAL??!! Well do we have the episode for you! Anna and Katrina take you on a magical journey where the songs are majestic, being down on your luck doesn't stop you from knowing your choreography, and homicidal plants from outer space talk. And sing. And play a little grab ass. We are of course talking about the incomparable 1986's Little Shop of Horrors!! 

ANNA-is the PRO this week, and she hasn't been this happy since "Come to school dressed as your favorite buxom blonde dating a sociopathic dentist" Day at culinary arts school. She loves, and we mean loves, everything about this movie, but the songs fill her with joy that not even snickers can contend with. Sorry, snickers. 

KATRINA-is the CON this week, and this might be the first episode in which she was physically in pain taking her notes. We will go ahead and get the spoiler out of the way, there are button pushes aplenty, and garbage takes as far as their tequila glazed eyes can see. Does Katrina manage to say anything that isn't completely stupid? Listen and find out!!

It's a movie about the making of a war movie that ends up being a movie within a movie about the behind the scenes making of the most expensive Fake True War story ever made. We think. This can only mean that this week's episode is about the 2008 War, Comedy, Action, Love Story: Tropic Thunder!! 

KATRINA-is the pro, and in the words of Simple Jack, it makes her happy!! There will be no tears from this mind movie, as Ben Stiller and gang bring non-stop laughs, Tom Cruise brings his dance moves, and Anna brings some nonsense about.....bed monsters. 

ANNA-is the con, and there are more button push landmines in this episode than fart jokes in the movie.  She is digging for cons like Jack Black chasing his "jelly beans", and they might be as elusive as Tugg getting his TIVO.
