PAGING MR HERMAN! Today, in attempts to repair the giant rift that was torn between them upon the watching of The Secret of NIMH, Saysha has resorted to a tried and true family classic that has proven to heal the deepest of wounds between siblings-Pee Wee's Big Adventure! In this episode of Melanie's Memories, we have a great time reminiscing about one of our most beloved family films and bounce between a lot of interesting topics, including visual maximalism, travel, bikes, bikers, hobos, chimps, sketch comedy, and the joy of creative freedom! We promise you will smile during this episode at least ONCE! WE PROMISE!!!

Buckle up for some good old-fashioned 80's childhood trauma nostalgia and prepare yourself for a VHS Sister milestone, because this is the first episode where we actually get in a FIGHT over a movie. Today, we are discussing the 1982 Don Bluth classic: The Secret of NIMH! This is one of Saysha's most treasured movie memories, and Melanie absolutely hated it, so instead of deep-diving into the film, we talk about OTHER movies, fan fiction, Rule 34, animal cruelty, rats, robots, and why men shouldn't be allowed to do comedy! We also play Smash or Pass for about 5 minutes! If you love this movie, prepare to be UPSET!!!

Listeners, it's another fresh weekly episode of VHS Sisters, and we are continuing down the Yellow Brick Road of Melanie's Memories in March and yapping at GREAT length about one of our childhood trauma watches: Return to Oz from 1985! This absolute fever dream of a movie really upset both of us on this latest rewatch, and we got to unpack our many feelings about steampunk, queerness, drag queen drama, mental health, medical trauma, child abuse, good puppets, bad puppets, and ASMR. Come listen to us both realize how this movie is basically Rambo for dark fantasy girlies!

AHHHHHHHHH BLIX!!!! In March, we have a FRESH new theme for you called Melanie's Memories! Meaning, we'll be rewatching some of the old family favorites that we feel need a deep dive, VHS Sister style. Today, we start with a 1980's dark fantasy classic that shaped us, both physically and emotionally: Legend from 1985! We get FULLY feral in this episode and yap at length about fantasy worldbuilding, twinks, simping, Tom Cruise with no pants, Tim Curry with big horns, synthesizers, and demon dick size. I know for a fact our mother does not listen to this podcast, and now I feel truly grateful about that!!!

Listeners, we've finally done it! We've finally found a movie that made Melanie feel disgusted at the idea of romantic love! We, of course, are talking about the infamous jukebox musical from 2001, Moulin Rouge! Both Melanie and Saysha had a LOT of strong feelings about this one, and it brings up a lot of important side topics such as incel culture, the importance of universal healthcare, natural skincare, early 2000s fashion, and 9/11! What a wild and precious thing to be alive and human on a rapidly dying planet! Happy LOVE month, y'all!

OPULENCE! YOU OWN EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING IS YOURS! Listeners, we are in the full swing of LOVE month, and this week, Saysha is making Melanie watch yet another horny 90's costume drama- The Age of Innocence! Are we sensing a trend here? Is there anything more slutty than DDL in a tiny bowtie? Did Winona Ryder live this entire decade in a corset? Why was Michelle Pfeiffer robbed of an Oscar? How many Pomeranians can you own, legally? We don't answer any of these questions, but please listen anyway!

Hail and Well Met, O Listeners! In this week's episode we watch a LOVE movie that Saysha *thought* she remembered fondly, but was MOST unhappy to find it extremely lacking: Shakespeare in Love! Melanie and Saysha manage to ramble on for over an hour about this fluffy Oscar-bait comedy of errors, but mostly they talk about Bridgerton, bad men's haircuts, good boy drag, and yassified Will Shakespeare (#makeShakespearehot). You will also hear Saysha's VERY good Harvey Weinstein impression! Not joking!

HELLOOOOOOO Sisterlovers!!! This month, Melanie got to pick the special monthly theme, which is...LOVE! For the very first LOVE selection, Saysha has decided on a very slow, sleepy, and special Merchant Ivory production: A Room With a View! Is this the very first incarnation of Love on The Spectrum?  What is the best way to romanticize your one wild and precious life? Is it gay to ask to see another grown man naked upon meeting him? What even is LOVE?!? All these questions will probably get answered, so TUNE IN!!!

Today we chat about the 1991 thriller The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme and oooooooh boy do we have so much to say! Did Melanie completely fall for a cannibalistic psychopath who wears other people's faces? Tune in to find out! Also, HUGE trigger warning: we talk about all the tough things in this movie, including transphobia, sexual harassment, systemic violence,  murder, r@pe, serial killers, bodily fluids, and unpaid internships!

Helllllo and Happy F@scist Winter to all of our Sisterlovers out there! We regret to inform you that we are NOT being very cozy this month and are continuing the January theme of Actual Good Movies that address Real Issues! In today's episode, we yap AT LENGTH about the classic Bob Fosse-directed film Cabaret, and we get into extensive discussion about bisexuality, flapper haircuts, German language and culture, N@zism, and also ramble for a full 10 minutes on time-travel and woke American Girl dolls. If you want to skip the doll and Time Lord content, skip to around the 10-minute mark. Or don't! What else are you gonna listen to on your commute or while cleaning? The actual musical Cabaret? Try harder, nerd!
