That's Outrageous

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah! This week we are bringing good tidings and cheer (very unusual for us). We start with Anne's list of the 12 Muldoon movies that should be on your list this season (it's not without controversy). Then we discuss the baker in the UK who's doing his part to help bring joy to his community, a dog named Van Gogh who's living up to his name and a Grinch who's not where he's supposed to be. 

And we finish our Christmas movie marathon with Queen Latifah in "Last Holiday".  This 2006 film definitely flew under the radar but could not be more delightful. As Anne would say, "It's got Latifah, LL Cool J, Gerard Depardieu - what more could you want?" Good question. 

We wish all of our listeners a very happy holiday and hope part of your down time is spent with "That's Outrageous" (Christmas is all about shameful plugs :)

Each year, people clamor for Anne's "12 Days of Muldoon" list. In honor of that list (coming soon to our IG page), we have reviewed a Muldoon/Denise Richards TV movie, "A Christmas Reunion". The plot may sound familiar: big city gal returns home to revive the bakery her beloved aunt left to her though she has no baking skills and her aunt didn't bother to give her any notice that she was dying. Add to that, one Patrick Muldoon, her ex-boyfriend who (spoiler alert) was left as co-owner of the aforementioned bakery and flour will fly. You've got to hand it to these Muldoon movies, there is no shortage of things to talk about - and we do.

Plus, we talk about the monastery left without any monks for a very surprising reason. The woman who faked labor to force a plane to land. And that KPop star you love - is she/he human or riding the AI wave? We'll break it all down.

This one had us laughing - let us know if it brings you merriment.

Thanks for listening!

Our Spotify Wrapped results are in and the news is good! What we thought was a struggling podcast turns out to be a qualified success! We're in the top 30% of podcast followers. Granted there could be fuzzy math going on here but who are we to argue with Spotify? So thank you for listening and for continuing to listening (and please tell a friend, or twelve - and write a review before Anne self-destructs).

This week, we are talking Christmas lists (and not the kind that result in gifts under the tree). Crissy examined 7 "top" lists for Christmas films and the ladies discuss the ones that appear most often. Can you guess which was number 1? Plus, they highlight the 1984 film, "Gremlins", another popular choice for some and look at it through 2022 eyes. And, Anne has her list of favorite Christmas films and Crissy has hers. Bet you can guess which of them put "Yeti" near the top - but you first likely have to look up "Yeti".

This is a fun one - our gift to you :)

This week Anne and Crissy were very dismayed to hear that podcast darling, Denise Richards, had been involved in a serious road rage incident with her husband in LA. This was no plot to her next Muldoon collaboration but a real life scare. Find out what happened. Plus, an 8 year old walks home alone and his mom gets arrested? And a man plays the saxophone while undergoing brain surgery? You can't make this stuff up, but you can surely listen to us talk about it.

And...turn on the TV anytime this month and you're bound to stumble upon a viewing of the classic film, "A Christmas Story." Now it's sequel is out on HBO Max and the ladies decided to take in a double feature of the original and this new edition, "A Christmas Story Christmas." Just as Flick's tongue got stuck to the pole in the original, you will be glued to their take.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...to listen to this podcast!

Merry, merry,

anne & crissy

It's Black Friday and hopefully you are buying what we are selling! This week we cover the story of a man rescued by mermaids - he couldn't believe it either. Plus another man who played dead for a full year to fulfill one of his life's goals and a house that is haunted by prostitutes? Anne fully believes this one - Crissy can't see it. 

And Lindsey Lohan is back with a new film on Netflix, "Falling for Christmas." Jack Wagner is playing her dashing father and Chord Overstreet her love interest. It's basically a kinder version of "Overboard" and we are ready to dive right in.

It's the kickoff to our holiday movie month! Deck the Halls with That's Outrageous.

Thanks for listening!

This week our "news" section is chock full of stories that leave you just asking, "why"? Why did someone think it was a good idea to try and bring a wild seagull into their home as a pet? Why do people lick a certain kind of toad in hopes of having a psychedelic's trip? Were they already tripping when they decided to lick the toad? And who are the people known in the TJ Maxx/Home Goods/Marshall's world as "the dunners"? Why are they getting into physical altercations over flour canisters? And more importantly, where can we get our hands on one of those canisters :)

Plus, we talk about the film, "Home for the Holidays". Directed by Jodie Foster and featuring a top notch cast, this movie is either an endearing classic or a real turkey - which side of the wishbone are you on? And in the spirit of giving, we serve up our favorite Thanksgiving movies whether you are at a happy gathering, a random potluck thrown together or one to be endured.  Something for everyone!

Next week we begin our month of Christmas films. We've already teed up the new Lindsey Lohan/Jack Wagner Netflix film, "Falling for Christmas". It's going to be so good! So sit back in that recliner and take it in before we talk it out.

Thanks for listening!

This week we have a truly interesting conversation with film maker and musician, Jimmy Giannopoulos. Jimmy's directorial debut, "The Birthday Cake" came out in 2021. He gives us the inside scoop on how he was able to assemble an all-star cast including Ewan McGregor, Luis Guzman and Lorraine Bracco. He gives us the dirt on why Val Kilmer (another star) threw a Batman doll at him  and he gives us the story of his improbable rise from bartender to director. We guarantee you will come away feeling inspired by Jimmy and his life views.

Plus, Halloween may be over but we discuss the very scary story of two wrestlers who found themselves in the match of their lives against a grizzly bear in the Wyoming woods. And the feel good story of the NYC cabdriver who accepted an IOU instead of money from a rider 9 years ago and just got his payback in a Dublin pub. 

This week is a good one. Take a listen!

Anne's BFF Stevie is back to talk about the spellbinding 1989 high school movie, "Teen Witch". But in reality, we come to the conclusion that Anne is in fact under the spell of one, Pat Morita. It's a tragedy that Pat left this world without knowing the mystifying crush that a young girl in Delaware was harboring for him. Was Pat Morita in "Teen Witch"? No, but Anne can't help but bring him up as well as another older man, the dearly departed, Alan Thicke. The Morita/Thicke rivalry would have been one for the ages but alas we'll just have to wonder who would have won the battle for Anne's heart.  

Plus, a woman's weapon of choice is a swarm of bees, a man pees on his ex-wife grave every day, and a bear gets blamed for a crime he didn't commit. And how much alcohol is too much? Only your Uber Eats driver can tell.

It's a wild, rambling ride this week - take a listen!

We are days away from Halloween and so it was only fitting to have our resident horror film expert, Jack back on the podcast. Jack chose "Rosemary's Baby" which has been described as the "perfect horror film" to watch this week. This was repeat viewing for Jack and Anne - first time around for Crissy. See how their views on it compared. Plus, Jack runs down the 3 other horror films you must watch this Halloween season. His lists are never for the faint of heart!

And there's a witch hunt of sorts going on in a Michigan town over a middle school mural. See what subversive messages the school parents are claiming the high school sophomore who painted it are poisoning their children's minds. This has the makings of a real life horror movie.

Happy Halloween everybody and thanks for listening!

It is the 40th Anniversary of the Steven Spielberg* classic, "Poltergeist". Why the asterisk? Because Spielberg is credited with writing and producing the film but not directing it. That is just one of the controversies that swirl around this movie - along with the tragic deaths of two of it's young stars and the use of real skeletons in one of its pivotal scenes. 

To break it all down, we were joined by FOP, Tanya Jones, life coach and producer extraordinaire. Tanya brought her own bit of trivia to the discussion with this question: which global pop star's step father is one of the featured actors in this film? She stumped both Anne and Crissy. See if you know the answer.

Plus we discuss the Spanish bishop who left the clergy for an erotic fiction writer and then became an exporter of quality pig semen. Lot to untangle there.

You'll want to "step into the light" for this one!
