There's not a lot of women, just a little women.

Set in the grunge 90's, Winona Ryder and her roommates try to make sense of life after college. This coming of age story is a time capsule for the trials and tribulations of young adults in the mid 90's. Directorial Debut for a theatrical feature film for Ben Stiller, who is also in this movie.

If a movie began showcasing a young girl living in Chile performing supernatural abilities such as telekinesis and clairvoyance, you would think that's what the movie would be about right? Wrong. If that said movie than began hinting at a possibility of a lesbian love affair between a young Meryl Streep and her sister-in-law Glenn Close, you'd think "okay that must be what this movie is about, right?" WRONG! IF YOU THINK THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT HOW A FILM CAN CAST ALL WHITE ACTORS AS CHILEANS AND THE PREJUDICIAL CLASS STRUCTURE OF THE TIME PERIOD.... YOU WOULD BE WRONG!!!

This movie is about the 1973 Chilean Military Coup, but only for the last 30 minutes.

After acting in a victorian age period piece where she's caught in a love triangle, Winona Ryder goes on to perform in a guilded age period piece where she is also caught in a love triangle. Winona's collaboration with Scorsese in The Age of Innocence gets her a Best Supporting Actress nomination and proves even more so the talent and skill this young actress is capable of.

The first movie into a different era for Winona Ryder also takes to a different era in the world of cinema. Grouped with acting giants like Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu "John Wick" Reeves himself; Ryder strides in this 1992 gothic horror/love story between a victorian bride and Count Dracula.

From Lucas to Night On Earth, Winona Ryder blew our socks off right away. Like many actors early in their career, Winona quickly finds her stride and her confidence in her performing abilities and with each proceeding film she works on, her abilities grow even stronger. HOWEVER... unlike many actors, young and old, she is able to take a chance on the next phase of her career and take her skills into a different direction that could've proved fatal but instead proved rewarding. The boys look back on Winona's amazing start as an actor and talk about the future of what's to come.

A story told in five individual vignettes, all taking place in one night in different taxi cabs across the world. This movie explores those moments where a short encounter with a stranger showcases the various passive lives people do in their day to day. Sound boring? Well watch it at 2 o'clock in the morning and you'll think otherwise.

Heads up gang, if you think you are about to hit play on this episode and listen to a discussion about a movie with mermaids in it... this is not going to be the episode for you. Instead, Jeff, Stuart and special guest Charlie Schumann dive deep into a movie about a mother and a daughter reconciling their differences and figuring out what growing up and being a parent is really all about. CHER!

There was Wolverine, then Freddy Krueger, but in this movie, the man with the claws is a gentle soul who likes trimming hedges and giving hair cuts! Winona plays her most opposite role she's done so far with the blondest wig you've ever seen.

When a small midwest town is gearing up for a reunion with their native famous celebrity; Winona Ryder's "Dinky", an outsider social recluse, contemplates if she may be the daughter of the famous Roxy Carmichael. This movie "almost" hit many points for us, but sadly lacks any conviction in its themes.
