Here we go! In honor of this episode's muse, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hope and Jessica decided to rap their summaries of his best and worst movies according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes.

The King of Hair!

Where to begin!!! This week Hope watched Regina King's best movie on Rotten Tomatoes (If Beale Street Could Talk) and Jessica watched Ms. King's "worst movie" according to the "critics" of "Rotten Tomatoes" (A Cinderella Story).

What an episode before you, dear listener! Jessica watched Keira Knightley’s best movie according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes (The Imitation Game) and Hope watched her worst (Silk). For Jessica, it was a reunion with a FORMATIVE film, and for Hope, it was a strange worm-focused two hours.

She loved it a lot and wants to reiterate that Akiva Schaffer is a stellar director. Something truly terrible must have happened on 'The Watch')Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

It's Dr. Cristina Yang herself: Sandra Oh! Jessica watched Ms. Oh's most acclaimed movie (Sideways) and Hope watched her least acclaimed movie (Mulan II). One of those films is sort of a musical, and the other has been adapted into a sort of musical, so this ep of the pod contains a whole lot of singing.

Our third Henry and our first old timey dude – what a day! Jessica watched Henry Fonda's best movie (cinema classic 12 Angry Men) and Hope watched his worst (a Jaws knockoff called Tentacles). You'd think they wouldn't find a way to bring up Love Island, but they do!!! The gals also touch on religion, sleep schedules, and BONKERS true stories about science teachers vs. animals. Hope's audio is a little odd, but we solider on like the octopus in Tentacles!Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

She is the moment, now come on now: it's Jane Lynch! Hope watched Ms. Lynch's best movie according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes (Best in Show) and Jessica watched her worst (Post Grad). For probably the first time ever – we have not done the research, so who's to say for sure – this is the first ep where Hope and Jessica have both seen each other's film! They talk all things Glee, belt buckles, Delaware, and dog names. It's a blast and a half.Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

Sometimes you must go to school and rock. By that we mean Jessica watched Jack Black's highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes (School of Rock, of course), while Hope watched his worst (Envy) – a film with the most unhinged premise we've tackled thus far. They chat about so many things. Tattoos! Dead horses! Colonoscopies kind of!
