Viewing Party

Live from the Tatumverse, it’s Viewing Party! This week we watch Son of No One, a movie where Channing plays a cop with a mustache and that has the most spot-on customer reviews since The Fast and the Furious. In this episode we learn that Katie busted a cap (in her knee), Wesleigh gives this movie a more apropos tagline, and we’re super excited to get to #MagicMikeByChristmas

For this week’s Viewing Party, we go back to high school with the movie that got Pocket Full of Sunshine stuck in your head, Easy A! In this episode, Katie sings an educational song to disprove conspiracy theories, Wesleigh confesses to owning a questionable album by a Disney Channel star, and we rave about the best parents in any teen movie ever.

What are you listening to? Spoiler: It’s Viewing Party! This week three-peat guest Robb joins Wesleigh to catch her up on a MCU movie she’d missed, Ant-Man. In this episode, we discuss the surprising Marvel character who has the most screen time, the ubiquity of soap operas, and flat earther dating tips.

“Sci-fi meets Al Pacino? I’m in.” Inspired by Instagram, we watched S1M0NE, a movie from the early 2000s about the rise to fame of a CGI actress. In this episode of Viewing Party, we compare Childish Gambino to *NSYNC, spend too much time googling sexy shiny fabric, Katie considers becoming a Channing evangelist, and Wesleigh, much to her own chagrin, misidentifies a font (it’s Eurostile, not Bank Gothic!).

Viewing Party this week is a Special Sisters Edition featuring Katie and Hannah! While Wesleigh is out of town, the sisters accidentally watch a French film on Netflix that turns out much better than they could have hoped. In this episode, Hannah explains her fascination with horror, Katie has some all-caps feels about body hair, and they coin a better term for single that sounds less sad when explaining to the server how to split the check. Plus cats!

This week we’re back in the Tatumverse, discussing a movie that was not worth the collective $8 we paid to rent it. In this episode we we try to pin down our patron Office characters, talk color theory with a fascinating tangent about brown, and are confused by the popularity of Vince Vaughn (how did he end up a romantic lead??).

This week on Viewing Party we spoil SOLO, a movie we watched mostly because of Donald Glover. In this episode, we spend a lot of time diving into the chronological cannon of Star Wars (ooh buddy), bring back the term “Longbottomed,” and learn that the song I Wanna Be (500 Miles) has very different connotations for each of us.

We put our MoviePasses to good use and went to see something still playing in theaters — Blockers! In this episode, we cover the sexism of pockets, our hopes forJohn Cena’s career trajectory, hear a confession from Katie, and discover just how old we are when we have to google prom afterparties.

We’re wrapping up Marathon May by inviting our friend who suggested year’s theme of time travel romances, Lara! She introduces us to Somewhere in Time, an ethereal movie that seems to have been filmed through an Instagram filter. In this episode Katie calls in from a nursing home, express our disappointment with this film’s ending, and pitch a new gender-swapped 80s movie someone should definitely be making.

For our second movie of Marathon May, we revisit the movie that introduced Hugh Jackman as a heartthrob, Kate & Leopold — which neither of us has watched since we were in middle school. In this episode, Katie reveals a secret about watching superhero movies, we discuss the Royal Wedding and the current and former hotness of the princes, Wesleigh tries to explain Lovebürger, and some cute puppers join us for the recording!
