In the first installment of SFL's Strong Female Villain series, Tessa and Tricia take on the character of Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) in the 80's classic, Fatal Attraction. They discuss whether Alex is a villain, a Manic Pixie gone rogue, or a woman in need of mental health care STAT. Tricia laments the original ending they will never see, Hilary hates dirty dishwater sex, and HPV is after Michael Douglas. Also, Tessa bought a vitamix, the bunny boiler trope is bullshit, and no one in this movie knows how to properly have an affair.

Every once in a while you re-watch a favorite movie from your childhood and it just doesn't hold up as much as you'd hope. Hosts Tessa and Tricia bring producer Hilary out from the shadows to discuss all things Stardust. But of course, no episode goes without talking about the Bachelor or Hilary's rolodex of celeb sighting. We learn that Tricia simply isn't a fan of Fantasy, but she may be forced to watch a few more...you know, because of the implications.

Black Mirror strikes again with their award winning San Junipero. So magical, so so 80's. The hair is amazing, the clothes are A-MAZING... the LOVE STORY is A-MAZ-ING! Though, the ending is still a bit of a mystery to Tessa & Tricia.
