    That's right our delightful chickadees in this ep the culture queens ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿผ are sinking their fangs into that most sublimely incandescent of tween tragics TWILIGHT ๐Ÿง›๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

    From the questionable vibes of one Edward - I watch you when you sleep and somehow think that is just a ok - Cullen, to the all consuming majesty of that never-ending blue filter, the culture queens dissect this teen swooning classic. ๐Ÿ˜˜

    And ask that most all important of twihard questions - what was it about the 20th Century that sent Carlisle on a vampire turning spree?

    'The Princess Bride' - Bad Buttercups, Quotable Quotes & Sexy Sword Swishing ๐Ÿคบโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿผ

    In our new series 'CULT ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป or CRAP ๐Ÿ’ฉ?!" the Culture Queens ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿผ explore the dodgy and delightful films which exist on the periphery of our cultural consciousness, determining whether they deserve the lofty term 'cult classic' ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป or are merely a big ol' steamy mess. ๐Ÿ’ฉ

    And in a most INCONCEIVABLE! twist of events, this week we're delving into that most beloved of 90s kids films - Rob Reiner's adaption of 'The Princess Bride' ๐Ÿคบโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿผ

    From a Bad Buttercup who could've been so much more ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿผ to the the incomparable delights of two men having a banter and a swish swish ๐Ÿคบ๐Ÿคบ, the Culture Queens storm the castle of this iconic film.ย 

    And ask that most important of questions - Could we get a Dread Pirate Roberts (The Westley Years) spin-off!? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

    'Waterworld'- Fishy Men, Tattooed Babies & Urine Filled Beginnings ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    In our new series 'CULT ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป or CRAP ๐Ÿ’ฉ?!" the culture queens explore the dodgy and delightful films which exist on the periphery of our cultural consciousness, determining whether they deserve the lofty term 'cult classic' ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป or are merely a big ol' steamy mess. ๐Ÿ’ฉ

    And what better film to start our scintillating series than Kevin Reynold's 1995 'Waterworld'! ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ From a bold urine filled opener, ๐Ÿšฝ to the confusion of tattooing a baby and putting it in a basket of dirt ๐Ÿ‘ผ๐Ÿป(?!), the culture queens get into the ocean filled confusion of this questionable cult classic.

    Asking that most bold and wavy of questions - did that guy's mum sleep with a fish? ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ
