Episode 60: Clueless, or All About That Baldwin, No Barney

Pick the perfect color-coordinated outfit and make sure you totally pause at that stop sign, as we cruise into Amy Heckerling’s 1995 teen romp Clueless. Has a movie ever spoken as directly to young women of a certain generation as this movie does to the ladies on this podcast? Where does Paud Rudd keep his enchanted portrait that allows him to stay as boyishly good looking as he does? And was there ever a time when it took 20 minutes to get anywhere in LA? You expect us to give you all the answers before you even listen to the episode? As if. 

Episode 59: Batman, or The Nightmare Before MCU

Swish your flappy capes and check your weight as we swing into Tim Burton’s 1989 comic book classic Batman. Forget the best Batman debate, is Michael Keaton the best Bruce Wayne? Who decided it’s ok for a grown woman to pretend she weighs just 108 pounds? Is this Nicholson at his silliest? And what did we do to deserve Prince and his soundtrack genius? We’ll give you all the answers after we dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. 

Episode 76: Stand By Me, or The Long Walk To See a Body You're No Fun Anymore

Pack for a long hike but inexplicably don’t bring any water as we trek off to see Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me. Did anyone else mentally block out the blueberry pie scene? Does thinking of this movie as Wesley Crusher on a holodeck adventure make it better? And we know parental oversight was negligible in the 80s, but were kids in the 60s just completely feral? No time to answer, we’ve got to outrun this train!

Episode 57: Honey I Shrunk the Kids, or My Science Child Neglect

Jump on the family dog like it’s Shai-Hulud and avoid near death experiences at far too young an age as we fall into 1989’s family movie night classic Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Does anyone else have extremely strong feelings about Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Creme Pies? Why were oversized obstacle courses such a pop culture touchstone of the late 80s/early 90s? Do we need to start a website to let moviegoers know if the ant dies too? And did anyone else spot Buffy’s mom and get very excited? We’ll answer all your questions after we finish this giant turkey that probably tastes gross.

Episode 56: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, or Children Should Be Pralined and Not Stirred

Sharpen your sweet tooth and buckle up for one wild boat ride as we gobble our way through 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and the 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (and some of us choke on the 2023 Wonka). Should anyone even try to match the genius of Gene Wilder? Why in the world would anyone leave their child alone with Johnny Depp’s terrifying Wonka. And how did it take us this long to play the classic F*ck, Marry, Kill? The only way to find out the answers is to enter our increasingly treacherous podcast factory. Otherwise, you get nothing. You lose. Good day sir!

Episode 55: Sister Act and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, or Guinan Thee to a Nunnery

Get ready for a two-fer as we don our nun-drag and raise our voices for Whoopi Goldberg’s Sister Act and its sequel. Has a life of poverty, obedience and chastity ever looked so dang fun? Has Catholic guilty ever been so successfully played for laughs? Why is Kathy Najimy such a national treasure? And is Lauryn Hill’s voice the only redeeming part of the sequel? We’ll get back to you after we perfect our Motown choreography.
