OUR HATERS SAID IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!! We are BACK for Season 2 babyyyyy and we have something super special cooked up for you today! We yap at LENGTH (or mostly Saysha does) about one of the greatest horror movies of all time, The Shining! We dig into some wacky fan theories, describe all the cursed hotels that inspired the Overlook, and discuss how much money it would take to get us to be a winter caretaker in a haunted hotel. Melanie also recounts the harrowing tale of her attempt to see this classic film in IMAX (spoiler: it did NOT go well!!!)

TRIGGER WARNING: We do mention some tough stuff that this movie covers, specifically child and spousal abuse, alcoholism, murder, etc so please proceed with caution and be nice to yourself!:) We love you!!!

HOLY SMOKES Sisterlovers!!! We actually made a whole ass season of movie recaps and posted them on the internet. To celebrate ourselves, and to also give YOU a special holiday bonus treat, Melanie is running the show today and asking some spicy Teen Beat-style queries to get to the bottom of the most critical questions that were presented in S1: like who was HOT, who was NOT, who was the very best puppet, and what character would win in a Celebrity Deathmatch! Thanks again for listening, we'll catch you in the New Year! If you'd like to give us any feedback or chat, please email us at [email protected]!!!

Wowowwow, how is it almost 2026?!?! Time to cuddle up with one of Saysha’s all-time favorite cursed childhood Christmas classics- GREMLINS!!! Why was Saysha allowed to watch this when she was five years old? How has Melanie lived to 33 without ever seeing this? Why did they film this in California during the middle of summer? Can a Mogwai flying from NYC to LA be fed at 9 am PST without mutating? Tune in to hear us ask these questions! Or not!! It's UP TO YOU!!!

Happy Holidays, O Loyal Listeners! Nothing says the holidays like a prolonged rant about how AI is both super uncool and boring, RIGHT? Well, that's what you get in this episode, along with plenty of discussion about puppet class war, the importance of animatronics and in-camera effects, various marshland modes of transportation, the power of platonic male friendship, and a HARD breakdown of the economics of being a working musician! Please join us for some cozy woke holiday cheer!!!

OOOOOOO we are getting cozy now, O Loyal Listeners! We officially kick off full-fledged festive season with THE undisputed best adaptation of Little Women that has ever been made- the 1994 version! We mostly rave about how this is a stone-cold Christmas 90s girl power classic, but also talk about how hot young Christian Bale is, the importance of historically accurate fabrics in film, Jo March as a queer icon, and the intricacies of Transatlantic ship travel in the 1860s! NERD ALERT!!!

Hey Loyal Sisterlovers! Guess what? It's freezing, it's dark, and the big tree is up at Rockefeller Center! In honor of this VERY festive time of year, Saysha makes Melanie watch one of THE MOST quintessential New York romantic comedies set during the holidays that features zero people of color! Most of the time they talk about Jewish deli food, the importance of decentering men, Upper West Side landmarks, and how nobody makes good sweaters anymore! Listen, download, and comment if you care!!!

DON'T DREAM IT, BE IT! Listeners, today is a VERY special day because this is the first time we are doing a FULL musical on this podcast (The Worst Witch and Labyrinth don't count! FIGHT ME IF YOU THINK SO!!!) We discuss the classic cult midnight movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and get into its humble beginnings as a stage show, its massive influence on subculture and the punk movement, and the importance of participatory art forms and women in STEM. And of course, we talk a LOT about who is hot in this film (spoiler: it's everyone). Download, listen, and leave us a SEXY little review on Apple Podcasts today!

SOMETIMES DEAD IS BETTER!!! Hooooooo boy, today Saysha really shoots herself in the foot, making Melanie and herself watch yet another Stephen King movie that has NOT held up well over time: Pet Sematary! Together, they navigate the dark woods of this highly flawed horror classic, but manage to find some interesting things to chat about —mostly about video store nostalgia, autumnal vibes, travel woes, Stephen King's emotional hang-ups, the importance of having a likable protagonist, pets, and zombies. There is also a lengthy discussion about cat breeds and their differences!!! DOWNLOAD, LIKE, AND SUBSCRIBE IF YOU DARE!!!

DANCE MAGIC DANCE!!!! Wowee wow, Listeners, do we have a really great episode for you! Saysha *finally* forced Melanie to watch the weirdly beloved Jim Henson/Brian Froud collab-Labyrinth! This one is a stone-cold VHS classic, and we discuss many things at length, including, but not limited to, sexy puppet love triangles, dream castings for the Labyrinth remake (please email us with your suggestions), and, of course, David Bowie's infamous light grey leggings. Do you think Melanie loved this movie or wanted to destroy it with fire? Tune in to find out!

FEVER DREAM ALERT!!!! Greetings, Loyal Listeners! Please indulge us this week as Saysha completely spirals and forces Melanie to listen to one of her earliest movie memories—the completely batshit adaptation of Angela Carter's short story, "The Company of Wolves." We discuss women, men, dogs, menstruation, wolves, dolls, apples, trees, and how Angela Carter is the grandmother of magical realism and the 4B movement!
