The Hart Chicks Present...

Allo, guvnahs! We're across the pond to drive our Minis through the British cult classic, 1969's The Italian Job (not to be confused with The Italian Jobby). We talk cinematography, Quincy Jones, the eternal oldness of Michael Caine, and occasionally we use a terrible accent to do so. Hang on a minute, dear hearts. We have a great idea – listen in while we yakkety sax our way to victory.

Hop on the QE2 with us, dear hearts, as we sail back in time to 1998 to share our love for the remake of The Parent Trap. We go into the who's, the where's and the how's of remaking the original, all while deciding if this SHOULD have been remade (spoiler: heck yeah). Put on your fanciest wedding top hat and pour yourself a glass of terribly labeled wine! If you don't have one, ring the bell for Chessie. She'll know what to do.

As if this remake season would start with any other film but the classic The Parent Trap from 1961. We finally pay attention to the plot from a critical lens, and boy, does EVERYone here need therapy! We talk accents, hair cuts, practical effects, earworm songs written by two brothers who could only write bangers, and all kinds of glop. Stick around, dear hearts, and maybe we'll drop your name once we're 30 minutes in.

Here's a preview of the 12 films we plan to cover, delivered in our signature style (iykyk). The first episode drops Wednesday, October 2! Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah. We'll be having twice the fun.

It's a Halloween treat for us all as we dive into one of Jaleh's all-time favorites and Jessica's core fear, 1987's The Monster Squad. We're joined by resident monster expert, Jamie Clark Yeah, as we round up the ammo, virgins, and one Scary German Guy with a delicious looking pie. Grab your amulet and your Van Helsing diary and meet us in the South Hollow town square, dear hearts.
