Description
Driving dogs, Czech nudists, role playing sex cards - these are just a few of the things that co-hosts Anne and Crissy find outrageous. Each episode brings stories from around the world of life's oddities and eccentricities which the ladies then dissect. And as a special bonus, each episode features a segment inspired by the patron saint of this podcast, the outrageously under-rated Patrick Muldoon. It's a mixed bag to be sure but by the end, you'll be feeling nothing if not outraged, in a good way.

Coming off of last week's episode regarding "Along Came Polly", the podcast was inundated with messages regarding the man who is rumored to have inspired Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, Sandy Lyle in the film. So this week, we bring to you an exclusive interview with Steve, college housemate of the film's director, John Hamburg; past performer of Judas in a community theater production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and former habitue of the NYC pick-up basketball scene. Take a listen to Steve's story and draw your own conclusion as to whether or not this tie is real or imagined.
Plus, Anne reveals something about her past that even Crissy never knew. It's a week of reminiscing and revelations!
You definitely want to take a listen to this one!

This week will once again have you shaking your head at what goes on in this world. We start with the story of a man who broke into a convenience store but left something intentionally behind. Plus, we had the story of a new bill being proposed to lessen prisoners' sentences in exchange for what??? And the culprit in a string of animal kidnappings from a Dallas zoo has finally been found.
And after much debate, we chose the final "Sweetheart" of our "America's Sweetheart" month - Jennifer Aniston. We discuss her comedy with Ben Stiller, "Along Came Polly". Do you know which of Jen's co-stars was the only man she did more than one film with? (up until she just reunited with Adam Sandler in "Murder Mystery 2" - which is on Netflix so not sure that even counts)
February was a quick one. Hope you loved these episodes as much as we did.
Thanks for listening!

Though this week we talk about the most "America's Sweetheart" of all the Sweethearts, Julia Roberts, one news story really stole the show. Anne was so outraged by this story that she nearly hyperventilated. It has to do with a wedding, the best man and his wife and that's all you'll get out of this description. The second story this week has to do with a woman who rebuffed a man's romantic overtures, agreed to go to therapy with him for 2 years (!) to discuss why she only saw him as a friend and after all that, he sued her. Think about it - that was the second most outrageous story this week. I mean the first one is a real doozie!
Plus, we discuss "Notting Hill," the romantic comedy that paired Julia with Hugh Grant. Not sure the movie held up over time but it did bring up an interesting thought - does it matter if Julia has chemistry with any of her leading men? Are they just appendages to her star power? See what we have to say about it.
According to "Horse and Hound" magazine ("Notting Hill" reference), this podcast gets 5 stars. So rate and review!

Is there anyone alive who doesn't like Sandra Bullock? This week we take a look back at her rom-com history with a focus on the one that arguably put her on the America's Sweetheart map, "While You Were Sleeping". Is everything about this movie unrealistic - from the basic premise to fact that Bill Pullman gets the girl? Yes. Do we still love it? Yes, yes we do. And see if you agree that "The Proposal", another Bullock classic, basically took the plot of this film, changed a few things and no one seemed to notice ( could have been called "While You Were Sleeping We Stole the Plot of This Film".)
Plus, we have not one but two stories about pigeons (one a victim of a Michael Bay film, the other, a drug mule or in this case, drug pigeon). And we talk about the man who spent thousands of dollars to have a very realistic wolf suit made so he could escape human relationships. You can't make this up.
Please say "I do" to this week's ep and take a listen!

For one month (the shortest one at that), Anne is allowing Crissy to pick the films. So get ready for a month of America's Sweethearts in their most notable rom-coms. First up is perhaps the Grand Poobah of them all, Meg Ryan and her classic, "When Harry Met Sally". If the film were titled, "When Anne Met Harry", it would have been a short as she feels nothing but irritation for him. But we discuss Meg's best leading men, if men and women can in fact be friends and also one of her lesser known films, "Joe vs the Volcano". It's jam packed.
Plus we cover all the news you may have missed this week such as the Florida burglars who called the police on themselves, a man given quite the value meal at a drive thru McDonalds and Mississippi toddler who ate the family pet (none of the blame goes to the toddler).
We have a lot of love for this one - hope you do too!
Thank you for listening,
anne & crissy
This week we have outrage a-plenty and in this case, it's aimed at our guest! Our very wonderful friend, Sydney suggested we watch "Fun with Dick and Jane," the 2005 Jim Carrey/Tea Leoni film. So naturally we invited her on the podcast to talk about it. Well, none of us could have predicted the outrage that Anne decided to launch in Sydney's direction for the audacity of suggesting the film. It's something.
Plus, patients of a medical practice receive a very traumatic holiday message...by mistake! A plane headed to Sydney winds up in Samoa (find out what happened next) and a woman on a New Delhi flight gets a very warm surprise - not a good one.
It's an episode packed with big feelings. Let us know how you feel about it!
Thank you for listening,

Unless you've been living under a pop culture rock, you have no doubt seen or heard about the surprise box office hit, "M3gan". You know, the one with the doll with the killer dance moves and the killer instinct? This week we are beyond thrilled to have one of the stars of the film, Jen Van Epps on the podcast! Jen fills us in on this little movie that could - surpassing all box office expectations to be only second to "Avatar" several weeks running. We find out the inside scoop on the filming, the technology and people that brought M3gan to life and how moving to New Zealand changed the course of Jen's acting career for good. Jen is a sheer delight, the movie is highly entertaining and this episode is one not to be missed!
Plus, can you guess which post on Instagram just became the most liked in the world? Hint: It's not M3gan, but give it time, it could be.
We usually thank you for listening but this week, you might want to thank us :) It's a good one!

Two weeks in a row and "That's Outrageous" is reviewing another good movie - though as Anne says, all the movies we review are good to somebody. The object of our adoration is arguably a classic, "Moonstruck". Famous lines from this movie come fast and furious and it would be hard to find anything not to like (Anne does find exactly one thing though - and you'll never guess what it is).
Plus, we talk about the miraculous survival story of a couple who's car went off a California road and plummeted 300 feet, the story of a crazed Argentinian fan who hijacked a bus to see his country play a World Cup match and the young Nigerian immigrant who is making big moves in the chess world.
We are definitely on a roll to start the year and I hope we don't "snap out of it!"
Thank you for listening!

Here we are in 2023 and the world does not disappoint to bring us more outrageous stories to ring in the New Year! This week we cover the story of a Florida man who decided to shoplift at a Walmart at a very bad time, a dog at a Walmart (this one in Texas), who decided to go for a ride and a British man and an American woman who decided to become pen pals over 80 years ago. Their feelings about the massive endeavor will definitely surprise you.
Plus, we re-watched the film, "Clueless" with Alicia Silverstone in her signature role. There is a lot that endures about this movie that's classic and a lot that rates pretty high on the cringe scale. As if! But we're willing to bet that as sure as Cher changes her outfits 62 times, you'll find this one charming.
Thank you for listening. We're looking forward to a great year ahead!

This week we are bringing you an encore of our most popular episode of the year! If you loved it, take another listen. If you missed it, now is your chance to find out what everyone's been buzzing about!
Here's what's included: First, a story we still don't understand no matter how many times we read it...a woman could collect $5.2 million from GEICO for having unprotected sex in a car and getting an STD. Yes, you read that right. And we discuss the viral video of an overzealous Disneyland park employee ruining a young couple's engagement for reasons that have never been made clear. Plus, the Aero 360 amusement park ride did anything but amuse its passengers on one recent trip.
Then, can you name the 2010 movie starring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson? What's that you say? Never heard of it? How could that be? These are all the questions we had as well when we stumbled across this forgotten romcom called, "How Do You Know". And now that we've seen it, we have some answers.
Thank you for listening and don't forget to like and subscribe as the kids say! 2023 is right around the corner!

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah! This week we are bringing good tidings and cheer (very unusual for us). We start with Anne's list of the 12 Muldoon movies that should be on your list this season (it's not without controversy). Then we discuss the baker in the UK who's doing his part to help bring joy to his community, a dog named Van Gogh who's living up to his name and a Grinch who's not where he's supposed to be.
And we finish our Christmas movie marathon with Queen Latifah in "Last Holiday". This 2006 film definitely flew under the radar but could not be more delightful. As Anne would say, "It's got Latifah, LL Cool J, Gerard Depardieu - what more could you want?" Good question.
We wish all of our listeners a very happy holiday and hope part of your down time is spent with "That's Outrageous" (Christmas is all about shameful plugs :)

Each year, people clamor for Anne's "12 Days of Muldoon" list. In honor of that list (coming soon to our IG page), we have reviewed a Muldoon/Denise Richards TV movie, "A Christmas Reunion". The plot may sound familiar: big city gal returns home to revive the bakery her beloved aunt left to her though she has no baking skills and her aunt didn't bother to give her any notice that she was dying. Add to that, one Patrick Muldoon, her ex-boyfriend who (spoiler alert) was left as co-owner of the aforementioned bakery and flour will fly. You've got to hand it to these Muldoon movies, there is no shortage of things to talk about - and we do.
Plus, we talk about the monastery left without any monks for a very surprising reason. The woman who faked labor to force a plane to land. And that KPop star you love - is she/he human or riding the AI wave? We'll break it all down.
This one had us laughing - let us know if it brings you merriment.
Thanks for listening!

Our Spotify Wrapped results are in and the news is good! What we thought was a struggling podcast turns out to be a qualified success! We're in the top 30% of podcast followers. Granted there could be fuzzy math going on here but who are we to argue with Spotify? So thank you for listening and for continuing to listening (and please tell a friend, or twelve - and write a review before Anne self-destructs).
This week, we are talking Christmas lists (and not the kind that result in gifts under the tree). Crissy examined 7 "top" lists for Christmas films and the ladies discuss the ones that appear most often. Can you guess which was number 1? Plus, they highlight the 1984 film, "Gremlins", another popular choice for some and look at it through 2022 eyes. And, Anne has her list of favorite Christmas films and Crissy has hers. Bet you can guess which of them put "Yeti" near the top - but you first likely have to look up "Yeti".
This is a fun one - our gift to you :)

This week Anne and Crissy were very dismayed to hear that podcast darling, Denise Richards, had been involved in a serious road rage incident with her husband in LA. This was no plot to her next Muldoon collaboration but a real life scare. Find out what happened. Plus, an 8 year old walks home alone and his mom gets arrested? And a man plays the saxophone while undergoing brain surgery? You can't make this stuff up, but you can surely listen to us talk about it.
And...turn on the TV anytime this month and you're bound to stumble upon a viewing of the classic film, "A Christmas Story." Now it's sequel is out on HBO Max and the ladies decided to take in a double feature of the original and this new edition, "A Christmas Story Christmas." Just as Flick's tongue got stuck to the pole in the original, you will be glued to their take.
It's the most wonderful time of the year...to listen to this podcast!
Merry, merry,
anne & crissy
It's Black Friday and hopefully you are buying what we are selling! This week we cover the story of a man rescued by mermaids - he couldn't believe it either. Plus another man who played dead for a full year to fulfill one of his life's goals and a house that is haunted by prostitutes? Anne fully believes this one - Crissy can't see it.
And Lindsey Lohan is back with a new film on Netflix, "Falling for Christmas." Jack Wagner is playing her dashing father and Chord Overstreet her love interest. It's basically a kinder version of "Overboard" and we are ready to dive right in.
It's the kickoff to our holiday movie month! Deck the Halls with That's Outrageous.
Thanks for listening!

This week our "news" section is chock full of stories that leave you just asking, "why"? Why did someone think it was a good idea to try and bring a wild seagull into their home as a pet? Why do people lick a certain kind of toad in hopes of having a psychedelic's trip? Were they already tripping when they decided to lick the toad? And who are the people known in the TJ Maxx/Home Goods/Marshall's world as "the dunners"? Why are they getting into physical altercations over flour canisters? And more importantly, where can we get our hands on one of those canisters :)
Plus, we talk about the film, "Home for the Holidays". Directed by Jodie Foster and featuring a top notch cast, this movie is either an endearing classic or a real turkey - which side of the wishbone are you on? And in the spirit of giving, we serve up our favorite Thanksgiving movies whether you are at a happy gathering, a random potluck thrown together or one to be endured. Something for everyone!
Next week we begin our month of Christmas films. We've already teed up the new Lindsey Lohan/Jack Wagner Netflix film, "Falling for Christmas". It's going to be so good! So sit back in that recliner and take it in before we talk it out.
Thanks for listening!

This week we have a truly interesting conversation with film maker and musician, Jimmy Giannopoulos. Jimmy's directorial debut, "The Birthday Cake" came out in 2021. He gives us the inside scoop on how he was able to assemble an all-star cast including Ewan McGregor, Luis Guzman and Lorraine Bracco. He gives us the dirt on why Val Kilmer (another star) threw a Batman doll at him and he gives us the story of his improbable rise from bartender to director. We guarantee you will come away feeling inspired by Jimmy and his life views.
Plus, Halloween may be over but we discuss the very scary story of two wrestlers who found themselves in the match of their lives against a grizzly bear in the Wyoming woods. And the feel good story of the NYC cabdriver who accepted an IOU instead of money from a rider 9 years ago and just got his payback in a Dublin pub.
This week is a good one. Take a listen!

Anne's BFF Stevie is back to talk about the spellbinding 1989 high school movie, "Teen Witch". But in reality, we come to the conclusion that Anne is in fact under the spell of one, Pat Morita. It's a tragedy that Pat left this world without knowing the mystifying crush that a young girl in Delaware was harboring for him. Was Pat Morita in "Teen Witch"? No, but Anne can't help but bring him up as well as another older man, the dearly departed, Alan Thicke. The Morita/Thicke rivalry would have been one for the ages but alas we'll just have to wonder who would have won the battle for Anne's heart.
Plus, a woman's weapon of choice is a swarm of bees, a man pees on his ex-wife grave every day, and a bear gets blamed for a crime he didn't commit. And how much alcohol is too much? Only your Uber Eats driver can tell.
It's a wild, rambling ride this week - take a listen!
crissy & anne
We are days away from Halloween and so it was only fitting to have our resident horror film expert, Jack back on the podcast. Jack chose "Rosemary's Baby" which has been described as the "perfect horror film" to watch this week. This was repeat viewing for Jack and Anne - first time around for Crissy. See how their views on it compared. Plus, Jack runs down the 3 other horror films you must watch this Halloween season. His lists are never for the faint of heart!
And there's a witch hunt of sorts going on in a Michigan town over a middle school mural. See what subversive messages the school parents are claiming the high school sophomore who painted it are poisoning their children's minds. This has the makings of a real life horror movie.
Happy Halloween everybody and thanks for listening!

It is the 40th Anniversary of the Steven Spielberg* classic, "Poltergeist". Why the asterisk? Because Spielberg is credited with writing and producing the film but not directing it. That is just one of the controversies that swirl around this movie - along with the tragic deaths of two of it's young stars and the use of real skeletons in one of its pivotal scenes.
To break it all down, we were joined by FOP, Tanya Jones, life coach and producer extraordinaire. Tanya brought her own bit of trivia to the discussion with this question: which global pop star's step father is one of the featured actors in this film? She stumped both Anne and Crissy. See if you know the answer.
Plus we discuss the Spanish bishop who left the clergy for an erotic fiction writer and then became an exporter of quality pig semen. Lot to untangle there.
You'll want to "step into the light" for this one!
