This week, Bri tries to convince Cozi to watch Scanners (1981), directed by David Cronenberg. The scanners use telepathy to read your every thought.

Moms love Richard Gere—and Bri and special guest Kristen Scatton love the 2002 musical film Chicago!

Can Bri and Kristen razzle dazzle Cozi into checking out this stylish, dark, and jazzy musical?

On this episode, Cozi tells Bri about the 2013 coming-of-age dramedy The Way Way Back!

Joseph Stalin was a ruthless dictator who kept everyone in Russia on their toes, especially those in his close circle. This week, Bri and special guest J.

Today, Bri and special guest Jules Forde (Pack Theater house improv team Mama Bird) convince Cozi to watch the 1993 action-adventure comedy Last Action Hero. It's big stunts, one-liners, and a whole lot of meta fun! Will Cozi decide to give Last Action Hero a try? Listen and find out!

On this sacred day of Halloween, Bri and special guest Jen Curcio try to convince Cozi to watch the 1982 horror comedy anthology Creepshow! Campy delights from beginning to end—there's something here for everyone. A Stephen King and George Romero collab, Creepshow is one you don't want to miss.

Fright month continues with Cozi's bloody entry, the 2017 suburban-satire horror-comedy Mom and Dad! Can he convince Bri to watch this wild high-tension ride of a movie? And if he can't, can Nicolas Cage, Selma Blair, the co-director of Crank: High Voltage, and even John Waters himself?
