The Other Half

We're continuing Streisand on the Beach with the hit musical flop Hello Dolly! This movie had a massive budget and barely made any money at all. But is it just because musicals were falling out of fashion? Or was it because maybe the movie itself isn't noteworthy? Most importantly, we want to find out if Barbera was the problem or the solution to this movie.

We're starting a very special month to end summer Streisand on the Beach, where we have an entire month of Barbera Streisand movies, starting with the film she wrote, starred in, and directed, Yentl. NotTheHoneyBees joins us to help guide us through this month of chaos. As the lore keeper of all things Barbera, they put together a stellar list of films we can't wait to watch. Also, how did no one discover that Yentl was not a boy about 20 minutes into the movie?

We bring Summer Screaming to a close with Lake Placid. It's a movie about a giant crocodile that made it to Maine. It's a miracle of nature! But it did kill some people, so maybe they should kill it. Or capture it to study it! Either way, this weird little cast of characters will all come together and deal with the aftermath of what Betty White has caused. Yes, that's right, Betty White and crocodiles. How could this movie not kick ass?

Let's watch a classic summer horror movie from the 1970s: Piranha!! Just how did these Piranhas make it all the way to the States? This movie says, "Don't worry about it. We know what you want to see: bodies of water turning red!" We certainly didn't expect a cool little animated fish man created by Phil Tippett walking around a scientist's lab for no reason. This is a classic Other Half episode where Ethan calls the main protagonist by a side character's name for almost his entire half.

The Meg is here to continue our train of summer-vibe horror movies! Jason Statham stars in this massive blockbuster hit from 2018. Some people are here just to watch big sharks eat things, and nothing is bigger than a Megladon. Is this blockbuster worth the hype? Or is it just more chum that Hollywood is releasing to the masses?

The Final Girls kick off our month of Summer Screaming! In August, we're talking about horror movies with summer vibes. What's more summer than a summer camp of horror? The Final Girls is a meta-commentary of the horror movie genre, specifically the final girl trope. Five unsuspecting filmgoers are sucked into a campy horror movie they're watching. What makes it more complicated is that our protagonist's mom plays one of the characters in the movie. She, of course, has no memory of being her mom; she just wants to get laid at camp! Despite being a comedy, this movie has a surprisingly heart-felt story at the center of it. The reason why this is may surprise you.

The cover and the trailer seem quirky, but Blow Dry is a serious movie about a silly hair-styling competition. Alan Rickman stars as Phil, a distant dad to Josh Hartnett, who looks like he's from Dumb and Dumber. He returns to town for a massive hair competition that his ex-wife Shelly, played by the late Natasha Richardson, is entering. Shelly faces fierce rivalry from Bill Neighy, who has a daughter played by Rachael Leigh Cook. He wants to win, so he plays dirty! Also, Shelly previously ran away from her marriage with Phil to be with her hair model, Sandra. What shenanigans! Oh, but Shelly has cancer, and that's no laughing matter.

The biggest offense is who toasts their butter twice?

FLASH! UUUUHHHH! It's time to watch pivotal Sci-Fi movie Flash Gordon! For better or for worse, they don't make them like they used to. Much to Ethan's surprise, Flash Gordon doesn't have any super powers. He just happens to be in space from Earth! That's wild. Did you know they based Star Wars off of this stuff?!
