Smile, You Love Us Erin & Blythe

Ho ho ho! It’s our very first holiday episode! Recently visited by three Teen Movie Spirits from their past, present, and futures, Blythe and Erin set out on a journey to find the true meaning of Christmas, and answer the question: do holiday teen movies even exist? Grab a cup of Blythe's beloved bougie eggnog and settle in as we discuss three extra-festive features, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” (1999), “Let It Snow” (2019) and the highly enjoyable Netflix miniseries, “Dash & Lily,” (2020). We also tackle the art of gift-giving and reveal who are 17-year-old selves would most like to meet under the mistletoe. (Remarkably, it's not JTT). Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

Do you belong in the Dauntless or Erudite? What's your District? Do you have what it takes to be a Runner? Are you confused yet?! Well try being a teen in a dystopian world. In honor of the strangest year of our lives we chose to dissect some darker teen movies, "The Hunger Games" (2012), "Divergent" (2014), and "The Maze Runner" (2014). Heroes will rise, plots will crumble!

Ever imagine what it would be like as an adult to have to go back to high school? No, it's not a nightmare or something we ever want to do. It's the premise of three hilarious, weird, and charming movies covered on today's episode. We start with Drew Barrymore's "Never Been Kissed" (1999), are completely smitten with Zac Efron in "Seventeen Again" (2009), and bow down to the comedic juggernaut that is Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in "21 Jump Street".  As adults who cover teen movies for fun, just how much of ourselves we saw in these characters is certainly up for debate.

Note: Delinquency alert! This episode was recorded in 2019!!!

Spoooooky season continues as Erin and Blythe breakdown an iconic triple feature of Teen Wolf, Teen Witch, and Casper, aka what is probably airing on Freeform right now (it will always be “ABC Family” to us). Find out which movie the New York Times called “aggressively boring” and which one of us agrees!

Happy Fall Y’all! Blythe and Erin are back to chat about the many horrors of teen femininity through “Carrie”, “The Craft” and “Jennifer’s Body”. 

A very special episode featuring a special guest - Erin's sister! We'll cover the two Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movies available for less than $14.99 on streaming services (Passport to Paris & New York Minute).
