Will there still be quotes and randomness and laughter along the way? Of course! So dial up the volume and join the sisters as they play their favourite movie game.
Who wants to talk about an 80’s western parody? We do! It’s time for “The Three Amigos!” Starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase, this cult classic is a film that was constantly being watched and constantly being quoted in the Brunnen house. A comedy that was not a kid’s movie, it’s safe to say little Pauline and Lisa had quite a few misunderstandings regarding this film. How does it hold up during the rewatch? Is it worthy of its cult status? Or is this another film the sisters wish they’d left in the past? Tune in and find out!
Lisa’s pick this week! Can you guess this 80s comedy before Pauline feels confident enough to toss a name out there? Find out what we’re watching for our next episode!

At long last, Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” is being discussed. We know you were all waiting desperately to find out how this film held up. Weren’t you?

Especially given they had no idea what it was about. Is it worth rewatch? Let’s find out!
Welcome back friends! It’s time for another Triviasode - huzzah! This week Lisa has picked the mystery film and it is very much a “Lisa movie”.

Pour yourself a favourite beverage, tune in, and have fun answering trivia along with the sisters.
Groundhog Day. The 1994 comedy-fantasy with Bill Murray and Andy McDowell. Arguably one of the (still) most quoted movies in the Brunnen household - right up there with My Cousin Vinny and A League of Their Own. This film, NOT appropriate for kids, was on all. The. Time. One of IMDb's top 250 movies of all time. But does it hold up?? Listen to our latest episode to find out what we think!
It’s Triviasode time again! Yay! And this time Pauline has picked the perfect February film. A comedy classic that was watched by all the Brunnens on repeat and quoted incessantly.
