Surviving Chick Flicks

Happy Halloween, everybody! We are back, just like the Sanderson Sisters, to talk about something spooky (or spooky-ish) for Halloween, and what better way to celebrate than with Hocus Pocus 2? Did this movie put a spell on us or did we place a hex on it? Find out here!

What even is a "month?" Anyway, for this Manly Movie of Undetermined Time Frame, we review that movie where Pacino yells? No, not that one. It's the one where he yells and tries to do a Latin accent? No, not THAT one either. The other one. That's it. It's Carlito's Way. Here comes the review.

Hey, we did an episode about our editor! Just kidding...sort of. On this episode, we are talking about the Oscar-nominated, anti-romcom, The Worst Person in the World. Did John and Sammie survive? What does sock puppet Joseph think? Was there an Armond White review? These answers and more are all here. Check it out! (Also, we didn't use any soundclips from the movie in the episode because 99.98% of this movie is in Norwegian and unless you actually speak Norwegian, it will do nothing for you.)

Continuing to play catch up, this episode was recorded in July. On this episode, we talk about the Hulu original romcom, The Hating Game. I wish I had a snappier episode descriptor than I do, but here we are. Enjoy!

We are trying to catch up on the backlog of unedited episodes. This was supposed to close out Pride Month. 

This week wrap up Pride Month 2022 to review a movie shot on an iPhone ironically recorded on an iPhone. (But not edited on an iPhone. That's too far.) Under the microscope this week is Sean Baker's 2015 drama, Tangerine. Did we end Pride Month on a high or a low? Find out here.

Once upon a time, there was a President so popular, his legacy could be tarnished with the worst scandal ever - he asked a woman out on a date. This week, we bring Aaron Sorkin back into the mix and review the 1995 romantic comedy, The American President. Did we vote for it or against it? Find out here!

Pride Month continues and our friend Mark returns to discuss a movie way funnier than its subject can ever be - conversion therapy. This week we are talking about the 1999 comedy, But I'm A Cheerleader. Did we give this movie an A or did we give it an F? Find out here!

On our latest episode of our latest spinoff, this week we examine the 2005 true story, Coach Carter, the Samuel L. Jackson drama about a basketball coach who believed that excellence was demanded not just on the court but off the court as well. Was this a slam dunk or did we foul the movie out? Find out here!

Pride month continues with a film that focuses on that most horrific of horrors...attending a gathering with your family. This week we give some attention to a film that gives some love to the bisexual community, Shiva Baby. Check it out here!

Welcome to Pride Month 2022! Hope everyone is celebrating safely and definitely following one specific rule - don't fall asleep. Because we are kicking things off with the man of our dreams, Freddy Kruger, and his return to Elm Street to stalk teenagers in the sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, a film where subtext, just like teenagers, went to die.
