The Roasting Booth

HAPPY HOLIDAYS YA FILTHY ANIMALS. No we are not roasting Home Alone, but an ACTUAL classic, The Princess Switch 3: Switch me once, shame on me, switch me again...why what the heck that's so mean....switch me three times...oh my god.... (This is a super obscure tiktok reference...can you guess who is writing this episode description).  We're heading to Belgravia once again to visit our favorite Vanessa Hudgens triplets and their golden retriever husbands! There will be Christmas cheer, there will be the pope??, there will be SPIES??? BUT will there be a 4th Vanessa Hudgens? Listen to this episode to find out! Also please excuse our sound quality, our mics were giving us some trouble this week!

*If you haven't yet, listen to our first 2 episodes to hear us roast The Kissing Booth 1 & 2!* WE'RE BACK....again. Yes...we know one conversation could have solved this problem and we could have just announced that we were taking another break, but where is the DRAMA in that?! But now we're back! We recorded this on our one year anniversary (!!!) and we are wrapping up the franchise that has truly changed our lives...The Kissing Booth. Join us as we say goodbye to Elle, Noah, Lee, Marco....a beach house (?)....oh yeah and Rachel is there. 

We're back, and to kick off the summer we are roasting the ultimate summer movie: High School Musical 2! Join us as we try to figure out 2000s Disney fashion, if Troy is actually an asshole, and so much more.  "Cool Balls" - Troy Bolton (2007)

IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF RATING THE MEN!!! In this episode, we look back at the romantic interests from the last 10 episodes and then discuss Something's Gotta Give, a trainwreck of a movie with a STACKED cast. Get ready for some good OLD fashioned manipulation, misogyny, and murder (just kidding...no one gets murdered in this one). Most importantly: listen to find out who is going to be the laughingstock of Broadway!!!!!!!!!

This episode is dedicated to all the girlbosses listening, we love the way you make your assistant commit a federal offence by marrying you so you won't get deported to Canada <33 That's right, in this episode we're discussing The Proposal and all the blatantly problematic scenes we missed as kids. We hope you enjoy this episode more than we enjoyed this movie!

Do you love capitalism? Do you ever think, "Hmmmm, he's not a real MAN unless he destroys my small business?" DO YOU THINK THE GODFATHER HOLDS THE ANSWER TO THE MEANING OF LIFE?!?!?!!!!! If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you're gonna hate this episode. Join us as we discuss You've Got Mail and express our anger at The Man (Tom Hanks (not actually Tom Hanks, but the character he plays. We love you Tom Hanks)).

In honor of Star Wars Day this week, we're roasting the *classic* romcom The Last Jedi (with some bonus commentary on The Rise of Skywalker)!!

Put on your highest of high-waist pants and check it out!

We're back! Thanks for sticking through our break y'all but we're back with a terrible movie that's prime for the roasting! This week Alexis and Heather ask the important questions including: is Katie's dad in love with her? Why did no one invite Katie to a sleep over? Is Patrick Schwarzenegger's character named Chris or Charlie? Additionally, even though this movie is a terrible portrayal of Xeroderma Pigmentosum, we learn a few things about XP from reading a review by Titanium Amy (a person with XP), of the book this movie is based on!  You can read the review and learn from other families of XP here: https://xpfamilysupport.org/2018/02/26/midnight-sun-reviewed-titaniumamy/ 

This week we watched The Lake House: the second movie where the plot revolves around Keanu Reeves’ house. This movie has time travel, a magical mailbox, girlbosses, and so much more.

This week, we are roasting a modern take on Shakespeare’s classic, completely unproblematic, and totally cool play Taming of the Shrew. We’ll discuss how we were *super cool* in high school and how (don’t hate us) the titular “10 Things” poem kind of sucks a fat one. All this and more!

What happens when you combine a musician afraid to leave San Francisco, a celebrity chef, and Keanu Reeves? Actually...you get a pretty decent movie.

IT'S THE END OF AN ERA FOLKS! Join Alexis and Heather as we send off Lara Jean and Peter into the world of college!
