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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
***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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
