  • UPDATED MONTHLY

Friends Gabriella and Amy discuss movies by, for, and about women. These movies are often loved but not necessarily respected. But as far as we're concerned these movies, the so-called "chick flicks," deserve to be critiqued with as much care as the latest films from Scorsese, Spielberg, and Nolan. Join us monthly as we revisit our favorites and make some discoveries along the way!

    A League of Their Own

    1992's A League of Their is the highest-grossing baseball film of all time, according to some vaguely sourced trivia Amy found on the internet. But even if that's not strictly true, the film about a 1940's women's baseball league deserves its place in the sports movie canon. Gabby and Amy welcome their pal Jess to discuss the film's enduring appeal.

    Mean Girls: Then & Now

    If you are a woman under 50, Mean Girls is part of your cultural landscape. From "stop trying to make fetch happen," to "she doesn't even go here," the film has spawned countless memes and catch phrases. It even became a Broadway musical, which has now been made into another film version. Gabby and Amy discuss the mixed blessing of the OG Mean Girls and their reaction to the 2024 version, which makes some necessary updates but also undermines the plot and characterization with too much singing.
