Walking The Line Of A Felony (Movie Recap, Never Been Kissed)

Fri, 01 May 2026 00:07:00 -0400

This week we recap the 1999 Rom-Com, starring Drew Barrymore, David Arquette and Michael Vartan. We have some questions that our younger selves maybe didn't. Sure, Josie WAS an adult and not fooling anyone with her get up. But... Sam still believed she was underage.... Its weird guys. Not to mention, Josie was awful to her brother. Despite that, he still took the time to check in on her mental state before telling her off. And that's on emotional maturity.

A Fairy Tale, But Make it Political (Movie Recap, First Daughter)

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 01:00:00 -0400

This 2004 Rom-Com starring Katie Holmes and Marc Blucas is so cozy, a reminder of a simpler time when political scandals were simple underage drinking and affairs with the Secret Service had the nation clutching it's pearls. Those were really the days.

Whose Trip Was This? (Movie Recap, My Old A$$)

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:07:00 -0400

Starring Aubrey Plaza, Maisy Stella and Percy Hynes White this 2024 dramadey/coming of age film gives us insight to what happens when you take shrooms. Apparently, you either hallucinate...or defy the laws of time and space (but time is a flat circle and space has no friction...so who are we to judge?) and meet your older self. An older self who doesn't answer questions, doesn't give you any insight to your future and only gives you vague warnings that don't make sense.

Sneaking Out Was Too Easy (Movie Recap, The Lizzie McGuire Movie)

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:08:00 -0400

In honor of Hilary Duff's upcoming tour (Court has tickets), lets take a breather with this sweet, sweet Nostalgia. There were two kinds of girls in the early 2000's: the ones sneaking out and smoking cigarettes behind 7/11 and the ones who watched the Lizzie McGuire. Then there's us, as adults, rewatching it, in HORROR. Why only one chaperone for 30 kids? Lizzie just trusted Paolo at his word, no background check, not even a cell phone to call for help if things went bad. Just pure, unadulterated millennial trust. Now look at us.

Baby Mama Drama, IRL (Movie Recap, The Threesome)

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:07:00 -0500

Ever wonder what it would be like to have a threesome and knock both girls up? We hadn't either. But this movie, starring Zoey Deutch, Jonah Hauer-King and Ruby Cruz tells us exactly how that scenario plays out, so we don't have to do it. Its baby mama drama... times two. Drama with you, drama between them, THE FAMILY drama of explaining the whole ordeal to everyone. THE DREAD OF EXPLAINING TO YOU CHILDREN WHEN THEY GET OLDER THAT DADDY DIDN'T CHEAT, YA'LL ARE JUST FREAKY.

No, We're Just Friends (Movie Recap, People We Meet on Vacation)

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:07:00 -0500

A fresh 2026, book to screen Rom Com, based on the novel by Emily Henry, starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth (YES, President Snow, but as a brunette). This little snack features a couple that lies to themselves for years that they're not in love, while they date and almost marry other people because they're too stubborn to admit that they like each other. Not gonna lie, sometimes things can be good for just the DRAMA of it all. And this is DRAMA.

It's Objectively Creepy (Movie Recap, Mrs. Doubtfire)

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:07:00 -0500

Starring Robin Williams and Sally Field, we take it WAY back with this....delightful, yet creepy family film. As children, we were on Robin Williams' side, Sally was a buzz kill. As adults and mother's, HE HAD FARM ANIMALS IN MY HOUSE FOR A PARTY I SAID WASN'T HAPPENING. To him, the divorce came out of nowhere. To her, this was the final straw on a heaping pile of straws. Let's not forget that those poor kids are gonna need a shit ton of therapy. Not because they saw their dad dressed like a woman- who hasn't- but because they formed a relationship with Mrs. Doubtfire just to learn she was fake.

Cheertatorish to Cheermocracy (Bring It On! Movie Recap)

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:07:00 -0500

Like Awesome, it's a cheer movie. Oh wow, the former captain stole all the cheers. Like totally freak me out, the new cheer captain, Torrence, totally did. I mean right on, said like half the team because it was too late to learn new cheers. Toros sure are #1, because the cheated, but it won't fly this time. A little recap of nostalgia from that time all millennial girls decided Cheer was for them. And a nod to all those cheers from the movie we know are still stuck in the recesses of your mind just before everything you learned in Algebra 2.

Starring Kirsten Dunst, Gabrielle Union and Eliza Dushku.

It's Boyhood (Movie Recap, Holes)

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 00:07:00 -0500

We've already done a deep in what girlhood is, and it made us think... What is boyhood? We're not boys, but we are the mother of boys, and we think Holes is pretty close. It has all the moving parts of what we think of when we think of boyhood: crime, reptiles, questionable food choices and none of them know each other's real names. While girlhood is cozy and emotional, boyhood is frought with peril.

Starring Shia LaBeouf, Khleo Thomas and Sigourney Weaver.

Post Mortem Micromanaging(Movie Recap, Life List)

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:07:00 -0500

***FICTION FIXATION WILL RETURN JANUARY 9TH 2026***

So check it, your boyfriend is a POS, you're working a meh job and then your mom has the audacity to die. Not just die, but give you a to do list from the grave after embarrassing you in front of your more successful brothers and holding inheritance over you. Also there is boys, who we guess are kinda hot.

We Must, We Must (Movie Recap- Are You There God, Its Me Margret)

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:07:00 -0500

In this week's episode, we deep dive into a book-movie adaptation of Judy Blume's 1970 MASTERPIECE, staring Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and Abby Ryder Fortson. This movie is perfection. No notes. It perfectly encapsulates three generations of women; their struggles, their growth, their wins. Are you a young girl? a 25-45 year old mother? A grandmother? Did you used to be a young girl? Have you ever met a young girl, a 25-45 year old mother or a grandmother? This movie is for you. This movie is for everyone. Watch it. OR ELSE.

Just Add Chaos (Movie Recap, Instant Family)

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:07:00 -0500

This 2018 Dramedy stars Mark Wahlberg, Rose Byrne, Isabela Merced, Octavia Spencer and Tig Notaro. We deep dive into the lives of two DINK, house flippers who have decided that what they need in life is... Chaos. Coming from 2 parents, going from 0 kids to 1 kid is rough. Going from 0 kids to 3 kids overnight is insanity. Throw in the fact that you skip a bunch of years and they already have personalities that you don't know. Not just that, but these kids have had it ROUGH, so they're understandably a little skeptical. Parenting can be challenging, foster parenting is a gauntlet.

Abracadabra (Movie Recap, The Prestige)

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:07:00 -0400

In one of the best movies every created, this week we dive into The Prestige. Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlet Johanson, Michael Caine, Piper Perabo....and David Bowie. This fantasy/adventure film is a tale of magic, deception, sacrifice, mystery, love and a little bit of crime drama. It's a woeful 19th century cautionary tale of not trusting ANYONE, maybe double checking the woods and don't cheat on your (?) wife. Like we said, it's perfect. Any other take is fake news.

Dating These Days... (Movie Recap, F*CK, Marry, Kill)

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 00:07:00 -0400

Are you totally happily married and wondering what it's like dating in 2025? Same, but let us tell you folks, it's rough out there. It's a steady stream of ghosts, unsolicited dick pics and murders. You think you find a nice guy and BAM, he wears the same shoe size as The Swipe Right Killer. Or he DOESN'T HAVE FINGER PRINTS. It's a minefield of red flags. We deep dive into this Romantic Crime Comedy, starring Lucy Hale, JayR Tinaco, Brooke Nevin, and Bethany Brown as they help to catch a serial killer and get their friend laid.

But How Old Are They? (Movie Recap, Shrek)

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 00:07:00 -0400

Our first animated film and we picked a banger with Shrek. Featuring the voices of Michael Meyer, Cameron Diaz and Eddy Murphy, DreamWorks really did something here. Magical Creatures, romance, adventure and a mother fucking dragon??? SOLD. We so have some lingering questions though....How old Shrek and Fiona? What's that age gap? Do age gaps matter when one is a magical creature?

He Just Wanted to Borrow It (Movie Recap, National Treasure)

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:07:00 -0400

Rose puts aside her Nicolas Cage ick once more for this 2004 National Treasure, starring Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger and Justin Bartha. This deep dive really shows how much people grow and change. 2004 us: Ben MUST protect the Declaration of Independence from Ian, because 'Merica. 2025 us: I mean, Ian was just gonna borrow it, its not that big of a deal. Also, Ben seasoned it up with a hair dryer and lemon juice....so... does he really care THAT much?

As If, He's Too Old (Movie Recap, Clueless)

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:07:00 -0400

Taking it back for some 90's nostalgia, we recap Clueless this week. Starring Alicia Silverstone. The clothes, the absurdity, the lack of adult supervision, it's a vibe, so fun... Until you start doing the math on that age gap. Once again math ruins everything.

Bowie Bulge Bonanza (Movie Recap, Labyrinth)

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:07:00 -0400

This week, we deep dive into an 80's acid trip. Starring David Bowie (and his bulge, as an unpaid actor) and Jennifer Connelly. This movie is a childhood favorite for Courtney. A repeat flier at the Goblin King's castle. Explaining this movie as an adult, led us to a ton of questions about Jareth's suitability to care for a child, even in the short term.

George, What's Going On? (Movie Recap, The Midnight Sky)

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:07:00 -0400

George Clooney stars in this post-apocalyptic, psychological.... Thriller? Something has gone down on earth, we never find out what, but something bad. Luckily, they have an escape planet, but they sort of vetted it too late. Earth is dying, a space ship is en route back home with no safe place to go. We're confused, they're confused.

It Was a Gateway Drug (Movie Recap, Tuck Everlasting)

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:07:00 -0400

We take it back to middle school in this week's deep dive, with Tuck Everlasting. Starring Alexis Bledel and Johnathan Jackson. Picture it, Virginia, the year 2000, pre 9/11, your dealer (librarian) hits you with this sweet little ditty. Kidnapping, LUST (or is it love?), immortals, deceit, defiant teenagers. It changes the trajectory of your life. Nothing its quite the same for years. You chase that high within the pages of dozens...DOZENS of book. Finally, you can't stand it anymore, you commit your first crime, you steal that middle school's library book. You have it currently, 25 years later.

Follow That Gut, Babe (Movie Recap, Woman of The Hour)

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 00:07:00 -0400

With Anna Kendrick's directorial debut, we deep dive into this 2023 based on a true story thriller, Woman of The Hour. Starring Anna Kendrick, Autumn Best and Daniel Zovatto. This is a tale as old as time- good looking man turn out to be a serial killer who is too emotional and eventually bested by a woman who played his game better than him. Two women actually, the one who got away and the one who put him away.

Jason Gideon Was Here (Movie Recap, The Princess Bride)

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 00:07:00 -0400

After years of putting it off (and for WHAT?) we finally deep dive into this cult classic, The Princess Bride. Starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright and Mandy Patinkin. We... Loved it. The DRAMA, the BETRAYAL, the SASS, the ACTION, the romance. Ok, so the romance isn't the point here. And this DID take place a long time ago, so we can't blame Buttercup for not seeing the red flag. She didn't know to be looking for them.

He's Still An Intern (Movie Recap, Baby Girl)

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 00:07:00 -0400

After all the fan fare regarding Baby Girl, we decided WE too wanted to a part of it. This 2024 Erotic Thriller stars Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, Harris Dickinson and Sophie Wilde. The cinematography, the acting A+, 10/10. The storyline? Didn't hit the way we thought it would. At the end of the day, he's STILL AN INTERN and YOU'RE STILL HIS BOSS... Like yeah, he's a snack and half. But... perhaps there were better options out there babes.

Sorry For The Snow Edits, Suzanne (Movie Recap, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes)

Fri, 23 May 2025 00:07:00 -0400

This recap, we apologize to Suzanne Collins for still believing young Snow is an absolute snack. This 2023 film is based of a novel by the same title. Set in the early years of the Hunger Games universe, our MC is none other than President Snow... as a teen. You may be thinking to yourself, this is his villain origin story, I'm going to find out WHO caused Snow to be the way he is. And you're right, you will. But there is no empathy here. Snow, even as a teen, was and always has been, his own villain. The only thing he has going for him is that he's hot AF. Other than that? Total sociopath. There was never any redemption for him.

Run, Forest! From Jenny (Movie Recap, Forest Gump)

Fri, 09 May 2025 00:07:00 -0400

This episode we deep dive into this 1994 classic, starring Tom Hanks, Sally Field and Robin Wright. Watching this movie as a adult, definitely changes some perspective. For a man who was considered 'the local idiot', Forest did more with his life than Rose and Courtney put together. The layer of historical presence woven into Forest's tale is **chef's kiss**. Not to mention the little jokes that we never noticed as kids. Sadly, it also brought one along the startling realization that Jenny may very well be the villain here.

Girlboss Energy (Movie Recap, Erin Brockovitch)

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:07:00 -0400

Our recap this week is an OG tale of Girlbossing to the max, starring Julia Roberts as a badass paralegal. This based on a true story movie is a cautionary tale of why Attorneys should listen to their paralegals more often (speaking from past experience here). Erin literally got in the trenches for her clients, AND THATS WHATS UP.

Jail, All Of You (Movie Recap, Miller's Girl)

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 19:33:18 -0400

This week's recap stars Jenna Ortega as a child cosplaying adult games with actual adults. Sure she's 18, but I think we can all agree that 18 year olds are honorary adults at best. To be honest, even the adults in this movie don't act like it, we got two almost pedophiles, an alcoholic author and parents who thought it would be a good idea to leave their mentally unwell daughter home alone in their historic mansion while they went... Somewhere?

It's A Girlhood-Com (Movie Recap, Uptown Girls)

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 00:07:00 -0400

We're really loving the nostalgia lately. This week's deep dive features a delightfully young Dakota Fanning and the forever quirky Brittney Murphy. Courtney and Rose again realize that the love interest in these Rom-Coms are just NPCs for a subplot that doesn't even matter. The men were actually wholly unnecessary. Which tracks, if we're being honest.

Where Was That Gun? (Movie Recap, Miss Congeniality)

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:07:00 -0400

We deep dive right back into some nostalgia with this weeks recap and revisit the fresh into the Millenia classic, Miss Congeniality. Starring Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, William Shatner and Candice Bergen.

Sandra is always a vibe. We're never mad about it. However, this movie is very late 90's early 2000's. Girl needs a makeover so boy sees her for HER. But this girl has a gun. Several actually. Because this is America.

Love or Limerence? (Movie recap, Wish You Were Here)

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 00:07:00 -0500

On this weeks deep dive we recap Wish You Were Here, a movie based on the novel by Renee Carlino AND Julie Styles directorial debut. Yes, that Julie Styles, we checked. Courtney is a big fan of this tragic tale of love and losing, and Renee Carlino in general. Would you throw yourself into a doomed, short term relationship just to end up heartbroken in the end? Charlotte sure does. Maybe it was the dumplings, maybe it was smile, who knows.

Narcissist Gonna Narcissist (Movie Recap, Alice Darling)

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 00:07:00 -0500

This week's deep dive is psych thriller, starring Anna Kendrick. Our hot take, psych thriller are scarier than regular thrillers. And what's more terrifying than a mentally abusive man that everyone loves? Imagine telling your friends that the perfect guy you're dating is terrible. Not only that, he's so good at it, that you think your the problem. He's gotten so far into your head that YOU look crazy.

CIA To PTA And Back To CIA (Movie Recap, Back In Action)

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Cameron Diaz returns to acting with Jamie Foxx in this week's recap. They go from banging their CIA partners (each other, duh) to beating the shit out of creepy dudes in clubs hitting in their teenage daughter. It's been about 15 years, but they still got it. And blow their cover in the process. Spy comedies are always a good time, and this one is no different.

CIA training is like riding a bike... right?

Juicy Mummy Wasn't The Villain (Movie Recap, The Mummy)

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 00:07:00 -0500

On this week's recap we serenade you with the tale of Juicy Mummy, Brendan Fraser and Katherine Weiss. A 90's masterpiece outlining the classic trope of boy meets girl, girl saves boy from being hanged, boy takes girl to mythical land and together the awaken Juicy Mummy and must work together to save the world. A perfect love story.

Did we mention 1998 Brenden Fraser in his floppy hair era?

Delusional Derby (Movie Recap, Whip It)

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 00:07:00 -0500

This recap of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut starring Elliot Page is a dangerous one for Rose and Court. The vibes, the aesthetics, the rage- it made us think we too, could be Roller Derby Girls. We can't, for the record. But we adored this coming of age film. As former 17 year old girls AND as women who are... No longer 17.

Ho, Ho, Ho For Those Arms (Movie Recap, Die Hard)

Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:07:00 -0500

Its been the age old December question: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? We're happy to announce that we're not here to answer that for you. We ARE however here to recap this 1988 classic starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. This was a first watch for both Rose and Courtney... We wanted to drag this movie, because we like to be haters sometimes... But there isn't much to drag. Except our jaws off the floor while gawking at Brucey's biceps. We're unwell. Send help.

Costume Change (Court Recaps Wicked Broadway Musical)

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 00:07:00 -0500

Musicals aren't Roses thing, so in preparation for her to watch the movie, Court recaps Wicked (The Play) to her. But musicals aren't musicals without music...

He's So Toxic, Babes (Movie Recap, Two Weeks Notice)

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:07:00 -0500

Swimming in a little bit of nostalgia with this weeks recap of Two Weeks Notice. Starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. We get he's hot, he's British for some reason, he rich AF... But girl, he doesn't want a girlfriend, he wants a mommy. And not in the kinky way. He wants a legit mother. You're an m-effing attorney. You have a whole ass law degree and you STILL got dickmatized. Its ok, it happens to the best of us. And at the end of the day, you're still Sandra Bullock.

Scissors Weren't Necessary (Movie recap, Edward Scissorhands)

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0500

Taking it way back with a Tim Burton classic, Edward Scissor Hands. Starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder. This proves that white women really WILL try to rescue any. And reminds us that MLM's are not millennial hell device, they've been been around for a long time.

Also, Johnny Depp in leather. With scissor hands. For some fucking reason.

Girl, You Didn't Even Try (Movie Recap, Ella Enchanted)

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:19:24 -0400

Rounding off October with this flouncy, early 2000's number we recap Ella Enchanted. Starring Anne Hathaway, Hugh Fancy, Minnie Driver and Vivica Fox.

It's fun, it's medieval, it's... modern? You'll see what we mean. Ella is way too smart to have gone 17 years with this curse. We literally spent 3 hours with her curse and came up with like 15 loopholes. But we'll forgive it, because without it she wouldn't have got her golden retriever, almost man bun having Prince/King.

I Knew That Jawline (Movie Recap, Van Helsing)

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 00:10:00 -0400

In the spirit of spooky season, we recap this fantasy masterpiece starring Hugh Jackman (who Courtney didn't recognize by face, but by Jawline). There's a lot going on here and honestly, what's not to love? You got your monsters, your fairy tales, your religious trauma and your morally corrupt murderous angelic man (maybe still angel?). Plus, there is a man bun. Oh, there's a plot too. But that's less important than the man bun tbh.

Girls Will Be Girls (Movie Recap, Pure)

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 00:30:00 -0400

A recap of purely (pun intended) girly things. Summoning a demon, the mother of demons to be more specific, at an ALT right purity camp. These girls really saw an opportunity to say 'we're just girls' and said bet, summoning Lilith and taking vengence. Jahkara Smith, McKaley Miller, Ciara Bravo, Annalisa Cochrane are an absolute delight, while Scott Porter and Jim Klock are... well, there. Mayor Paul (Ginny and Georgia reference) would never do this to us, but Pastor Seth definitely would, and does.

No Alien Banging! (Movie Recap, The Adjustment Bureau)

Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:07:00 -0400

Oh. My. God. A Sci-Fi movie where no one had to have sex with an alien? We are totally down for this recap starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt that centers around, wait for it, FATE. We think. Like if we had to name it, we'd name it Fate. This movie is the perfect example of 'if he wanted to, he would.' Because Matt Damon wanted to, and he did. More than once. And that chemistry? Give it an EGOT.

Are WE The Uglies? (Movie Recap, Uglies)

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:07:00 -0400

Gen Z is finally getting their YA movie mania. Or, sorta. They got this one. This singular movie. Starring Joey King, Laverne Cox, Keith Power, Chase Stokes and Brianne Tju, we deep dive into this dystopian hell where you're insecurities are highlighted. But don't worry, when you turn 16, before you can drive a car, you get to consent to major plastic surgery and change anything you want about your appearance. Not only do you GET to, you're required to. The other option is living in the woods with a bunch of Uglies who are objectively hotter that the Pretties.

Don't worry, we're confused too.

'00's Teenage Boy Crack (Movie Recap, Fight Club)

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:05:00 -0400

Starring Ed Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter we recap this cult classic that starred in the fantasies of teenage boys (and some adult men) for years. We understand that this movie was made for men, by men. And it shows. No follow up questions, blind following into violence, not a secretary or assistant in sight but magically things are getting done. Hell, someone is even filing. This movie is the epitome of a man's spank bank- beating the shit out of each other instead of going to therapy.

Just Boys Kissing (Movie Recap, Challengers)

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 00:07:00 -0400

Everyone was talking about this...Tennis movie? Starring Mike Faist, Josh O'Connor and Zendaya. We had to check it out and see what all the rave was about. Tennis, by default, is kind of a boring sport, but we were seated during this recap. SEATED. Tashi, played by Zendaya, is toxic AF here. A true homewrecker of this bromance. A manipulator of men. We ain't mad about it either. She's a player playing players.

Skins Suits or nah? (Movie Recap, I Am Number Four)

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 06:39:23 -0400

The YA book to movie adaptation boom wouldn't have been complete without hot teenage alien chosen ones. This movie goes hard on that trope. We're left with a lot of lingering questions, but our inner teenagers are satisfied.

Shroom Therapy For Men (Movie Recap, Knocked Up)

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 00:20:00 -0400

These two really did too much. It was 2007, not 1807. They didn't have to get married cause they fell victim to tequila shots and got pregnant. It was modern times, my loves. Their relationship honestly sounds like the beginning to a bad a joke, but like in a genuinely funny way?

Starring Katherine Heigel, Seth Rogan, Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd this week's deep dive recaps the 2007 Rom Com, Knocked Up.

Is All Mob Money Bad? (Movie Recap, American Hustle)

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 00:25:00 -0400

The American Hustle recap is a wild ride. Con men, check. Con WOMEN, check. The Mafia, check. The FBI, check. Jeremy Renner, doing everything perfectly, check. We're not saying we should let the Mafia run the government, but if they wanna build sidewalks and create jobs... maybe let them? Starring Bradly Cooper (with curly, dark hair that just does something to Rose), Christian Bale (sans the chiseled thighs), Amy Adams (sans Princess dress), Jennifer Lawrence (who, in this movie Rose and Courtney have diagnosed- we're not doctors, but we've seen Grey's Anatomy and go to therapy) and Jeremy Renner.

Who's Cleaning This Up? (Movie Recap, American Psycho)

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 00:30:00 -0400

Was it real? Psycho Path or Delusions of Grandeur? Both? This weeks recap takes on the 2000 thriller, American Psycho, starring Christian Bale, William Dafoe and Reese Whiterspoon. After traumatizing ourselves with the weirdest episode of Criminal Minds ever, we're left with the question of: Who is cleaning up this mess? A man? I think not.

That's Not A Tip (Movie Recap, It Can Happen To You)

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 09:48:48 -0400

In this recap we deep dive into the based on a true story events of It Could Happen to You, Starring Nicholas Cage and Rosie Perez.

Movie wife is made to be a villain, but her husband DID give away half their lottery earnings to waitress he just met. However movie wife IS kind of a gold digger. But Cop Cage DID get their anniversary wrong... So... Justified?

Boss Daddy Is Your New Daddy (Movie Recap, A Family Affair)

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 00:40:21 -0400

I get it, you wanna be a cool mom. But when your daughter starts trying to twat swat Zac Efron away just because he's her boss, maybe lay down the law. Like knocking, for starters. This recap Courtney and Rose discuss the chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron and...Joey King, the unwelcome interloper to their romance.

Totally Team Joyce (Movie Recap, Little Black Book)

Fri, 05 Jul 2024 00:30:00 -0400

Imagine having your man's entire dating history at your finger tip- PRE SOCIAL MEDIA. That's God tier, my friend. And with great power, comes great responsibility. Stacy (Brittney Murphy), doesn't have any of that. She gets that power of his Palm Pilot and girl bosses directly into the sun. Stacy abuses her position at work (slay) and dives head first into BF's dating history and lands in the pile of trash that is Derek (Ron Livingston). However, we support women's rights and women's wrongs in our recaps.

Chaotic Neutral Aesthetic (Movie Recap, Beetlejuice)

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 23:11:17 -0400

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejui- shut up. Don't say it girly. Yeah, he's kinda hot in that dirty way, but he's gonna ruin your life. He's gonna try to kill your dad and force you into marriage. Does it sound like a dark romance plot? A little. But trust us, we're But Scientist and can tell you that with 100% certainty, Emo Michael Keaton isn't worth it. Stick with the adorable weirdo (Alec Baldwin) and his tiny town replica. But, like, still keep an eye on that. If this recap teaches you anything, it should be that even the quiet ones can be crazy ones.

In this episode we recap the much-hyped about 2019 movie Hustlers, staring Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu. It's a flip-the-script on men kind of day, perhaps, because this movie follows the true events of a group of strippers who finessed and drugged their way into millions of dollars by conning thirsty men. How far is too far when it comes to seeking revenge on the patriarchy? The law says grand larceny, and who are we to argue?

Hope you enjoy our recap!

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we recap the 2017 South African Romantic Drama, Catching Feelings, which stars Kagiso Lediga and Pearl Thusi. This the story of an insanely unlikable hero who girl bossed too closed to the sun. We didn't like him one bit, but were united in the common goal the tear him to shreds. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode we recap the 2022 Netflix original movie Purple Hearts. Rose tries to redeem herself after the last episode where she failed to muster a cornel of feeling from her dark well of a soul. Courtney strategically chose this movie hoping it would hit Rose right in the feels: Marines in dress blues, sunny California, deployments, and white boys with dark shadows in their eyes...did it work? Did Rose finally feel something? You'll have to listen to get the answer.

Only Dead On The Inside (Movie Recap, Me Before You)

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 02:00:00 -0400

If you only listen to one of our episodes, let this be the one. Our recap of the 2016 movie Me Before You will sound a lot like an endorsement for therapy. One of us reveals to be probably missing a soul. But the other isn't so innocent either, because it's no coincidence that our rowdiest, most laugh-out-loud episodes tend to be recapping darker movies. Our dark humor keeps us sane, and it's lucky we found another human to share it with. Hope you enjoy!

It’s Fine, Everything Is Fine (Movie recap, Don’t Look Up)

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the 2022 film Don't Look Up staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence...not that you'd recognize them--they transformed for their roles. Particularly Mr. Dicaprio, who we have lovingly nicknamed Science Daddy for this episode. This movie was fun to recap, mostly because it fed our already anxious minds and dark-tinged views of the future.

He’s No Mr. Darcy (Movie Recap, Persuasion 2022)

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the 2022 Netflix movie Persuasion staring Dakota Johnson. We always complain that no one is making romcoms or even romantic flicks anymore, so can we really get on Netflix for taking Jane Austen's classic Persuasion and turning it into a GenZ snark fest? Well, yes, we can. And we do. Listen--we didn't read the book so we are allowed to enjoy this movie for what it is...and that is a second chance romance that only Dakota Johnson can deliver. You have to listen to find out what we mean by that...hope you enjoy!

Sir, I’ll Be Back With The Authorities (Movie Recap, Beauty and The Beast - The Live Action Remake)

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:01:00 -0400

We know what you're thinking, "is nothing sacred?" The answer is no. Because in this episode we recap the 2017 Live Action Remake of Beauty and The Beast staring Emma Watson and some other dude.

We learn there are some plot holes we are okay with, some plot holes that might just keep us from tipping into madness. And then there are others that make Rose irrationally angry. So prepare for some rants. Some feminist, and some decidedly not-so.

For a podcast that prides itself in being unsophisticated and immature, this episode might just be the gem of our collection. Prepare thyself for hilarity.

Our Villain Origin Story (Movie Recap, The Devil Wears Prada)

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 00:16:57 -0400

Well, we found it. The epicenter of the early 2000s toxicity that corrupted our (then) young impressionable minds and warped our perception of both work-life balance and the size our butts should be. Where do we send our therapy bill to? Good thing we cope with ill-timed dark humor because we laugh our little heads off in this episode.

If You’re Too Much, Let Them Choke (Movie Recap, Mean Girls)

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the classic 2004 movie Mean Girls, staring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams...there's a dude somewhere in there too, but let's be honest, this one is all about the ladies. Join us for our hilarious hot takes.

Hope you enjoy!

Dr. Scoundrel McConaughey (Movie Recap, The Wedding Planner)

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the 2001 movie The Wedding Planner, staring Jennifer Lopez and Mathew McConaughey. Rewatching early 2000 Rom-coms in your thirties just...hits different. We rant. A lot. Although Rose tends to ruin everything for Courtney, this time she ruined this for herself. It used to be one of her favorite romcoms and now she can't go five minutes without throwing her shoe at the screen. Join us in our rage, because therapy is expensive.

Full Circle Back To Murder (Movie Recap, John Tucker Must Die)

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the 2006 teen comedy John Tucker Must Die. This movie features a long-haired Pen Badgley who is unfortunately not our main hero. What an emotional roller coaster we went on in this episode and, as always, we came full circle back to murder.

Hope you enjoy!

Who’s The Crazy One Here? (Movie Recap, Good On Paper)

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 02:00:00 -0400

This one's a must-listen. In this episode we recap the Netflix original movie Good On Paper starring Iliza Shlesinger and Ryan Hansen. It's the all too familiar tale of a woman who wants to believe the best of a man and ignores red flags even as they are hurled at her face.

But once the truth comes to light, what she does may be even crazier than he is (although, if you ask Courtney, it's all justified).

You have to stay tuned until the end to listen to Courtney's unhinged revenge plot. It's so detailed and thought-out you will be wondering if there's a tab in her binder for this exact scenario. This episode is hilarious, don't miss it!

Hope you enjoy!

The Broke Prince of Lavania (Movie Recap, The Royal Treatment)

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the Netflix original movie The Royal Treatment. Do you remember when rom-coms used to be good? Sigh. We do, too. But cheesy and cringe-worthy as these newer movies may be, they are still a blast to recap. This episode may be our most favorite to date.

Hope you enjoy!

Deception Cheese and Inception Stories (Movie Recap, The Lost City)

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode we recap Sandra Bullock's new action-packed romantic comedy, The Lost City. A widowed romance author and her delusional cover model go on a jungle adventure that rivals the wildest plots of her novels. If Sandra Bullock isn't playing Sandra Bullock, we don't want it. But fear not, because she is! We had so much fun recapping this movie. Can we all just take a moment to admire Sandra Bullock leading a major blockbuster film yet again? We recommend you go watch it first then come back to experience it again in our recap (it's that good).

Snack Daddy and The Useless Vampires (Movie Recap, Vampire Academy)

Wed, 25 May 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the first (and last?) movie adaptation of the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. Courtney begs Rose not to ruin this for her, but of course Rose can't help herself. Vampires that can do magic? Why not call them wizards that drink blood? Is the main vampire character actually international pop start Lizzo?Rose thinks so, but you'll need to listen to find out why.

Don’t Hoe Too Close To The Sun (Movie Recap, Along For The Ride)

Wed, 18 May 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode, we recap the wholesome movie Along for The Ride. This pick is undoubtedly Courtney's effort's to cleanse our palette after the smut filled Neon Gods book she made Rose read. Quite the opposite, this episode's story is about a young girl who wants to try being someone new while on summer break. Her bar for 'wild' is pretty low, so she is careful to NOT hoe too close to the sun. Still, this was a fun and light palette cleanser for us. Hope you enjoy!

A Dungeon But For Fun Stuff (Book Recap, Neon Gods)

Wed, 11 May 2022 00:01:00 -0400

Move over fifty shades of grey, in this episode we recap the novel Neon Gods by Katee Roberts. A modern day retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, this book features a sex dungeon auditorium and also some blink-and-you-might-miss-it plot lines. We had too much fun lovingly dragging this book, which we both enjoyed. Go check it out, just make sure if you're listening to the audio book that it doesn't unplug in the middle of the grocery store.

Gossip, Lies, and Maybe Murder (Movie Recap, Easy A)

Wed, 04 May 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the 2010 romantic comedy Easy A starring Emma Stone and Penn Badgley. Our highschool do-gooder, Olive Penderghast, tells one little white lie that explodes into salacious rumors, leaving her with no choice but to embrace (and monetize) her newfound fame as a hoe. A fake hoe, that is. Things get out of control, because plot reasons. Penn Badgley is also there with his murderous eyes. He’s hot. We stan. Come join our hilarity.

The Girl With The Face Tattoo (Movie Recap, Beastly)

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 00:01:00 -0400

Hear us out here. The year was 2011…Twilight mania was sweeping the nation–nay, the world. The best recipe for a hit movie at the time seemed to be an average teenage girl who unwittingly falls for a supernatural, but hot, tormented, and hot, appropriately aged, but also hot, boy who takes perplexing interest in her, and saves her life (while being hot). BEASTLY, starring Vanessa Hudgeons and Alex Pettyfer, tried to tap into this magic with this retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast. Check out our recap in this episode.

Perhaps Some Therapy Is In Order (Movie recap, Gone Girl)

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode Rose and Courtney take a dive into the movie adaptation of the popular thriller Gone Girl, starring Ben Afflect and Rosamund Pike. When a generic white man’s much hotter wife goes missing, he is thrown into a media circus that dissects his movements, reactions, and mistakes. Let’s be real, the husband most probably did it. But when the villain is revealed, there’s no surprise that Courtney shares their love for calendars, planning, and probably binders.

B+ Customer Service, A+ Creepiness (Audiobook recap, Call Me Maybe)

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 00:01:00 -0400

This audiobook experience is a new one. Call Me Maybe features a whole audiobook cast of voice actors, complete with sound effects and real life happening in the background. Rose begins to question Courtney’s true colors after this suggestion. This customer service call sparks a whirlwind romance between our our main characters. It's sweet, it's wholesome… It’s also a touch creepy. Courtney maintains she is NOT the marshmallow Rose now believes her to be. Rose is now convinced Courtney might actually have a soul.

Hot People Problems (Movie Recap, The Hating Game)

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the movie adaptation of Sally Thorne's bestselling novel The Hating Game, staring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell. Take two drop-dead gorgeous people and put them in an office. Make sure their desks face each other, oh and make sure they have to compete for a promotion. What could go wrong? We have some very important epiphanies about society's treatment of beautiful people. We also give our nominations for the Nobel peace prize. We discovered a new type of energy conductor. If that sounds much too cultured for Fiction Fixation. You're right. So be sure to listen in to get the full context (and laughs). Hope you enjoy!

The No Red Flags IS The Red Flag (Movie Recap, Love, Guaranteed)

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the Netflix movie Love, Guaranteed starring Rachel Leigh Cook and Damon Wayans Jr. A handsome guy wants to sue a dating site for failing to provide the guarantee love after one THOUSAND dates. Sir, that is statistically impossible. But sure. Enter, cute petite Lawyer Chick. What could go wrong?!!

Banter is aiight. The chemistry? Ummm...well, there is none. But the opportunities for laughs were plentiful (at least for the purposes of our recap). This movie got into our heads a little, and we barely agreed on anything! Courtney chooses a hill to die on and Rose swears to never visit her on that hill. What follows might haunt you forever!!! We had a blast recording this and hope you enjoy!

Apocalyptic Booty Call (Movie Recap, Love and Monsters)

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 00:01:00 -0400

In this episode we recap the 2020 movie Love and Monsters staring Dylan O'Brien and Jessica Henwick. This one is a hoot. If you don't know, Courtney has a binder where she keeps tabs for every possible tragic scenario she can encounter. This particular type of apocalypse, however, did not make the binder. This movie was slapstick fun adventure with a thirsty main protagonist who may or may not get the girl at the end. Tune in to find out!

You Can’t Fill The Holes (Movie Recap, Coyote Ugly)

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 00:01:00 -0400

You don’t get more early 2000s than the 2000 movie Coyote Ugly. There’s a small town girl with big dreams and a dude with an Australian accent and a backstory we never learn. But it’s okay because the less we know, the fewer red flags to distract us from how hot he is. Cluelessness is important for happiness, science has confirmed. What used to be Courtney’s favorite childhood movie is now, decades later, picked apart by Rose.

But Jack Could’ve Totally Fit (Movie Recap, Titanic)

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 00:01:00 -0500

In this Episode we recap the infamous 1997 film Titanic. Gen Z could never understand what we went through seeing this film with our parents in our formative years. The tears, the sweaty palms, THE Leonardo DiCaprio of it all. It's insta-love in the most epic, enduring way ever. We couldn't possibly laugh at this tragic love story, could we? Psssst. Just ask Courtney and the rant that may have bought her one way ticket to the bad place.

The Truth Is Fugly (Movie Recap, The Ugly Truth)

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap the 2007 movie The Ugly Truth starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. We muse about the delightfully cliches of rom coms. Rose gets roasted by Courtney via a binder of doom. And as usual we find ourselves on opposite sides of the snack cart. This episode is full of chuckles and puns. Hope you enjoy!

A Man Bun and an Accent (Movie Recap, 10 Things I Hate About You)

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 00:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap the 90’s classic 10 Things I Hate About You, starring Julia Stiles and the late and great Heath Ledger. Courtney is once again educating us on phrases we will never utter a) with a straight face and b) in public, like ever. The real villain of the episode ends up being very close to Courtney’s heart–or rather–her chest! Don’t fight it, just roll with it. Rose finally gets the opportunity to recite the lines that have been living rent free in her brain since 1999.

Mafia Do’s and Dont’s (Movie recap, 365 Days)

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 00:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap the Netflix movie 365 Days, based on a Novel by the same name. We will tell you right up front, this one is filled with F-Bombs. Listen, it's a mafia romance and we apparently got too into character. With this oh so spicy movie, we have, at last, found a Red Flag Courtney isn't into. Don't worry, her aversion to our hero doesn't last long. Even Rose has trouble saying to to this fictional man and his plethora of Red Flags.

Ma’am, That’s a Death Raffle (Movie Recap, The Hunger Games)

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 00:01:00 -0500

The perfect episode for a road trip. Settle in, because we are recapping The Hunger Games movie. Rose will never pass up an opportunity to talk about a Hemsworth brother. Courtney reveals her connection to the stars of the movie (and perhaps her *alleged* first kiss?). Join us for some hilarity as we unravel the insane dystopian world that honestly feels strangely familiar (is this really a news broadcast?).

Wish.com Ken Doll (Movie Recap, A Cinderella Story)

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 00:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap the 2004 movie A Cinderella Story. Even though there's a more recent version, this gem stars Hilary Duff and features all of the early 2000s nostalgia we love. And also, there's a Wish.com Ken Doll who Rose has...quite a lot of things to say about.

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 00:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap To All The Boys I Loved Before, a movie based on the book by Jenny Han. We enjoyed this movie for inexplicable reasons. Or maybe because it’s equal parts cute and cheesy, with a fake boyfriend that we would 1000% fake have babies with.

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 23:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap The Fault In Our Stars, a movie based on the popular book by John Green. Did we cry watching this movie? A little. Did we laugh recording this episode? SO FREAKING MUCH. Too much. The amount of fun we had recording this episode is a red flag in itself. Join us on this emotional ride to hell, if you dare.

The Absolute Audacity Award Goes To… (Book Recap, Dare You To Lie by Amber Lynn Natusch)

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 23:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap the Dare You To Lie by Amber Lynn Natusch. This book would make an awesome movie. It's full of mysteries, twists and turns, and also a bad ass female lead who we are a little afraid of. Also, Rose reveals what she discovered during one weird, internet rabbit hole. This episode is sure to serve some laughs.

Girl, We’re Not Done Here (Movie recap, The DUFF)

Tue, 04 Jan 2022 23:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap The DUFF or…The Designated Ugly Fat Friend. It’s a fun movie with one of the cringiest montages we’ve ever seen. We.....don't... even know how to describe this episode, you'll have to listen to understand. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode we cover Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie. We wouldn't recommend taking a shot every time we say ‘red flag’ because you will probably pass out.

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 23:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap the Netflix movie Set It Up starring Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell and maaaybe Pete Davidson???? Courtney apologizes to Pete (because he’s secretly in love with her and totally listens to our podcast).

Your Hosts combine forces to figure out (aka google) an alternative term for “*rooster* blocker.” As always hilarity ensues. If you’re enjoying our podcast, please leave a review and share with a friend!

A Charcuterie Board of Sausages (Book recap, Paper Princess By Erin Watt)

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 23:01:00 -0500

In this episode we recap the sp!cy and often perplexing novel, Paper Princess by Erin Watt. Is it really surprising that Courtney would pick this book? Red flags are her cat nip. The whole thing is a true sausage fest and....eh, we weren’t mad at it.

Pretty Fly For A Legit Criminal (Movie recap, Mr. Right)

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 23:07:00 -0500

In what is probably our favorite episode to date, we present our hilarious recap of the Netflix movie Mr. Right (which stars Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell). Mr. Right is multiple movies in one, and not a single one of them knows what’s going on. It’s so bad it’s good. An ugly baby, as Courtney would say. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording!

Are You My Daddy? (Book recap, Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec)

Tue, 30 Nov 2021 23:01:00 -0500

This episode we recap the novel Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec. We get saucy in this one and drop a few more fbombs than we normally do-- might not be an episode for the faint of heart. Although, to be fair, the things that come out of our mouths are pretty tame compared to what's in the book!

This episode we recap the 2005 movie adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Right off the bat, Rose coins a phrase that she is very proud of and also hopes her mom NEVER hears. Listen... Mr. Darcy is too much of a snack to keep our inappropriate humor at bay.

This episode we recap the Netflix movie He’s All That, which is a remake of the 90s movie She’s All That. We had too much fun recapping this movie because Rom-Coms are like ugly babies--they are ALWAYS adorable by default. We don’t make the rules!

This episode we recap the Netflix movie After, which is an adaptation of the book by Anna Todd.
