Join Steph and Jess as we wave the white flag and end our War on Christmas with this stinker of all stinkers, 1994’s Miracle on 34th Street. Nothing says Christmas like a court case? Steph feels totally vindicated on her hatred of this film and Jess agrees, Christmas with the Kranks ain’t looking too bad now. In the words of little Susan, “Nothing left to see but horse poop, and that doesn’t thrill me at all.” Indeed.
Join Steph and Jess on our “ War on Christmas” with 2004’s Christmas with the Kranks, and spoiler alert: Jess still hates it. We agree it had some humorous parts- a botox’d Tim Allen eating peaches still made us chuckle. But the thought of anyone telling us what to do with our holiday still grinds our gears so we’ll keep this movie on the naughty list. And who tf spends $6000 on Christmas?!
Join Steph and Jess in the field - or rather- in the woods as we take you with us on our meander down a forest trail, discussing our top 3 Steven Spielberg movies from childhood and today. Also some crunchy leaves ASMR.
Join Steph and Jess for the finale of Fantasy and Fellowship with the Gentry family staple, Willow! While Steph proclaims it’s no Lord of the Rings, she does agree the combination of special effects and acting between the effervescent Val Kilmer and Warwick Davis are what make the film memorable. Jess still considers it a solid fantasy staple. What say you, peck?
Join Steph and Jess for some Fantasy & Fellowship with 2001’s Lord of the Ring : The Fellowship of the Ring. Extended Version. Basically the perfect movie, the end. Seriously, we agree that once you watch the extended version you’ll never go back to the theatrical ones. Jess proclaims Peter Jackson is now synonymous with Lotr and Tolkien and will never watch any other remake. Unless it’s an Aragorn + Arwen romance..directed by Peter Jackson… So come let us fire up that longbottom leaf, snack on some lembas bread and be glad we don't have to fight an orc today.
Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up Fangs for the Memories with 2025's Sinners, a beautiful drama with a splash of vampires. While we agree the horror aspect is greatly over hyped, the storytelling, acting, costumes and music is very well done. We could've actually done without the vampires altogether and just focused on the whole SmokeStack twins escaping Chicago crime bosses aspect. Maybe we'll just write our own fan fiction...
We're back in the saddle again! Join Steph and Jess after an impromptu health hiatus with the first installment in the Fangs for the Memories, 1998's Blade. We discuss the epic soundtrack, the man candy, the Badassery of it all..we just want to be naughty vampire gods, dammit.
Join Jess for a spooky season minisode special! A review of 2025's Final Destination: Bloodlines and a rewatch of 2000's Final Destination, plus an update on Steph and her husband!
Join Steph and Jess in the final installment of Jess's Fantastical Voyage with 2025's Death of a Unicorn. Also known as Paul Rudd's worst role ever as a piece of shit dad. We agree there's zero comedy in this horror/comedy, unless you count the CG unicorns. We just expected a little more camp from a revenge unicorn flick.
Join Steph and Jess in the first installment of Jess's Fantastical Voyage with 1995's Powder. Disclaimer: We had no idea of the heinous charges the dirtbag director was convicted of when Jess picked this one. We watched it for free and don't recommend you paying to watch it either. Jess will still always think of Powder whenever she sees lightning, but we'll never watch this one again.
Join Steph and Jess in another episode of “Steph gets two movies confused” where she thought Red Dawn was actually Toy Soldiers. We agree its 80’s war propaganda at it’s finest and Steph can feel her blood turning more ‘Merican red by the end of it. Wolverines!
Join Steph and Jess as we bunker down for July and wait for WW3 with some war-adjacent movies, starting with 1994's The War. Rewatching makes us rethink what we considered "entertainment"as kids.. still a badass treehouse though.
Join Jess in this summer break minisode! Enjoy more butchering of the English language and cracking each other the f*ck up. So many outtakes, so little time.
Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up ‘You Talkin’ to May?’ with 1999’s Analyze This. Steph fangirls over Billy Crystal, we both agree that Bob Deniro is looking mighty fine in '99 and bad mobster/Joe Pesci impressions galore, oh my!
Join Steph and Jess for 'You Talkin’ to May?' with 1998’s Mafia! Starring Bella’s dad and Jay Mohr. While we agree it’s no Hot Shots Part Deaux, it’s a solid “ok”. Well, the first half anyway. Especially if you like fart jokes. Mama mia!
Join Steph and Jess in the last episode of April Animation with 1994’s The Swan Princess. Not The Princess and the Goblin, in case you were confused like Steph was. Although this was not the movie Steph originally thought she was choosing, we both agree the animation is still beautiful and the first half is pretty delightful. Its the lame villain, aka Janitor Willie, and the meh second half that brings it down. Stick around for May’s movie picks!
Join Steph and Jess in this early childhood fave, 1994's A Troll in Central Park. Where everything is absolutely green and absolutely average. We agree the animation is still beautiful, and if you're in the 1-6 age range, ya know, the targeted audience, you'll probably think its fine.
Join Steph and Jess in this very special finale to Mary Jane March as we get to interview the writer, producer and director of 2023's The Last Deal, Jonathan Salemi! We deep dive with Jonathan into the making of this guerrilla shot, gritty crime thriller and get all the fun facts our listeners deserve. Thank you so much again Jamie for reaching out and to Jonathan for being our very first interview! We hope everyone has as much fun listening as we had making this episode. Fortune Favors the Bold, or as Stephanie says, Go Big or Go Home!
Join Steph and Jess for Mary Jane March with 2014’s Inherent Vice. Somehow this one slipped by us, but who even knows where they were in 2014? This one definitely deserves another watch as you have to not take your eyes away for one second or you’ll miss something. And by you, we mean Jess. Come pop a squat, take a toke, and let’s get groovy, man.
Join Steph and Jess in 2002's The Mothman Prophecies, as Stephanie faces her bridge collapsing fear. She realizes maybe she's actually more afraid of America's crumbling infastructure and faith in things made by man than the actual bridge falling down thing. We discuss Mothman theories and legends and how much we wanted to like this movie..but didn't.
