Ah yes, the Holidays... Where everyone feels sorry for the Singles of the world and tries to set them up to make themselves feel better, touting there must be a lid for every pot.  How about a business deal where you always have a prerequisite date for every stupid, high pressure Holiday and try your hardest not to fall in love with them? Too on the red reindeer’s nose? We thought so too.   This “Anti-Rom Com,” staring Emma Roberts delivers on witty repartee and awkwardly bizarre family traditions, while we watch a predictable outcome unfold in a pleasingly comedic way. A charmingly inebriated Sarah and stone cold sober Heather amuse themselves as they get into the Christmas spirit(s) discussing our first Christmas movie. Get ready, this month ain’t over yet! *intro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

Gotta love the Holidays, right? A swirl of muddled emotions mixed in with nostalgic family traditions = a special kind of eggnog flavored existential dread.  Sarah and Heather discuss the witty cinematic platitudes and spot on dysfunctional family portrayals found in Jodie Foster’s heavy-hitting directorial debut: Home For The Holidays.

You will be captivated by Robert Downey Jr.’s heroin-fueled performance, as it dovetails with awkward sexual tension with his on-screen sister Holly Hunter = Not your average Hallmark holiday movie.

Join us as we plumb the depths of that excruciatingly relatable, holiday-inspired malaise that comes with the stark realization that time is passing and we are all just growing up.

Take that creamed corn in for a spoon-jet landing with a Holiday feel meh/feel good family ensemble movie. Steve Carell takes us on a emotional journey playing a depressed widower, father of 3 girls who also writes for an advice column.

Enter a huge family get together with a potential love interest (Juliette Binoche) in tow, and heartwarming awkward comedy ensues! If you have ever been forced to sleep in the storage room next to the loud dryer at family gatherings or ever wondered if Dane Cook can sing, this movie is for you! Or like Sarah mentioned, this movie highlights when people get stuck in the past due to trauma, while the world marches ahead without them.

Tune into this week’s episode as we celebrate Thanksgiving(sides-giving) with this indie-vibe inducing family favorite!

“The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving. I didn't want to destroy anything or anybody. I just wanted to slip quietly out the back door, without causing any fuss or consequences, and then not stop running until I reached Greenland.” 

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

This BOOK.  Oh, this book rocked the lives of so many women. The movie is certainly decent, but this is a case where Heather implores you to read the book. (Insert Sarah rolling her eyes…)

The movie is pure location porn: Bustling and soul starved New York, to the pasta aromas in succulent Rome, to a magical ashram in India with roaming, wild elephants, and finally to the exquisite white sand shores of pungently perfect Bali. It’s the very definition of sensory overload. Not to mention the raw and pure emotional components.  No mainstream movie has dared to tackle the elusive concept of obtaining closure and explored exposing one’s vulnerability to the core, quite like this one. 

And yes, not everyone can afford a decadent, sensational sojourn around the world, taking a year off to, “Find Yourself,” but one can certainly relate to the lessons uncovered in finally learning to hear your own voice when faced with self imposed loneliness and the gift of seeing things more clearly from a distance. And obtaining closure. Have we mentioned closure yet? Oh, we will...

Join us as we bask in the journey back to self, source, and wild fantasizing about our next leg in “Sarah’s Vision.”

Oh, this movie effed us UP.  From the very first scene of the candle lighting of the chandelier, when you are lulled into an ASMR seduction as the sexual sound of the candles clinking together as the austere chandelier is being raised…..followed by Razor wit, heaving bosoms, powdered wigs, and Johnny Malk finally growing a heart like the Grinch, only to have it evicerated by a sword =  Swoon.

This movie freely mocks societal’s double-edged hypocritical standards of virtue, purity, and gender privilege, and at the same time employs each character into a twisted willing player of a sadistic game, merely out of boredom? Revenge? Or just plain Cruel Intentions?  See what I did there?  (Has anyone really changed since high school, really?) This powerhouse of an ensemble: Glenn Close, Uma Thurman, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, and lest we forget Keanu Reeves, knocks it clear out of the park, making you clutch your chest and smash antiques from what fuckery transpires.

Tune in for a highly caffeinated Heather, and a kinda cranky Sarah who as we learn, even put a cynical love quote from this movie as her own Facebook motto, once upon a time. Win or Die! **Shakes Fist*

Welcome to the not-so-subtle land of universal keeping up appearances and carrying the burden of expected conformist tradition - The early 1870’s in “liberated” America. 

Heather and Sarah whole-heartedly agree that this movie is dreadfully, and excruciatingly spectacular, so at least there’s no aimless arguing in this episode (You’ll have to wait until the next one for that). The whole movie cinematically captures the intimate and not so intimate moments of desperate, unrequited love, all set within in a backdrop of duty and paying homage to a judging society that is quietly pretending not to watch. Martin Scorsese paints this film with such unabashed, blatant symbolism, when combined with the utter overweening cotillion of controlled appearances, it will make you utterly gasp. 

Join us as we don a parasol, corset up, and restrain any and all sexual urges with aggressive politeness, witty double entendres, and only letting our emotions out to play at the Opera. 

Trust me, after watching this movie, you will never look at a gloved hand the same!

Ok, we’ve arrived at the sexiest horror movie of all time. You’re aroused, but you don’t know if it is fear or lust, or just the natural response from the thick velvety wardrobe goodness chosen for this epic film. Sarah and Heather open a vein, and their livers as they go dive into this decadent tale of two OG soul mates, and toast the concept of the "kind" thing being to personally drive a Bowie knife into your beloved’s heart. 

Don’t worry, they will voraciously make out and make your nether regions feel funny in their next life.  It ‘twill come to pass, as these two blood thirsty beasts clearly belong together. I mean, how else could you explain how Mina could possibly resist Keanu Reeves in a peacoat? This episode completes the spooky run of movies we’ve chosen that pertain to the Autumnal “thinning of the veil,” and our respective composures. 

You might need a cigarette after this one. Sarah and Heather sensually slide into dialogue about this sultry, not-so-typical Vampire Love story starring none other than the delectable goddess herself: Tilda Swinton.  

We discuss the film’s origins, unusual setting, pairing unlikely cities Tangier, Morocco with Detroit, Michigan. Yes, you read that right. 

As symbiotic as night and day, we exhume the breadth of this soul-fused couple, and observe with utmost fascination their breathtaking slow dance as the world burns around them. 

Peel off your gloves and expose your skin to our intimate discussion regarding one of the hottest couples captured in cinema.

Sarah and Heather, unofficial “Bitches of Eastwick” chime in to pay homage to this underrated “Dream Team” ensemble movie. 

The cast itself, casts quite a talented spell, as we watch Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Cher team up to seduce, induce, and reproduce with the “horny little devil" himself, Jack Nicholson. The creatively executed morale of this film seems to be, “Be careful what you wish for,” as the dynamics of this power quadruple fantastically implode. Never fear, the ladies put their skill sets and velour jogging sets together and team up for a witchy girl power ending. 

Have you ever wondered what Jack N looked like with a micro ponytail, pimp robe, and a groaning pair of Spanx? Tune in, because something wicked this way certainly came in threes. 

Just in time for spooky season, Sarah and Heather reanimate Mel Brooks self proclaimed finest film, Young Frankenstein.

Did you know the creative concept for this film was from the master Gene Wilder himself? 

As this is one of Sarah’s most cherished films, she regales us with behind the scene tidbits and antidotes.  Did you know that they used the original set pieces and props from the O.G. Frankenstein? That’s some cinema clout right there! The procurement of physical comedy alone should drive you to watch this comedic classic, and we discuss the ways it fiercely holds up.  Heather thinks it’s at least worth a re-watch to see Terri Gar appropriate the Germanic culture with her depiction of Dr. Frankenstein’s lab assistant as a visual nod to a St. Pauly’s girl. Grab your abnormal brains in a jar, and tune in to this valiant kick off to the Halloween season!
