    Episode 36 - Coraline

    Step through the door with us as we unpack the weird, whimsical and wonderfully creepy world of Coraline. We're talking all things spooky, smart, and what we learned from this blue haired little girl. Last spooky season movie for the year!

    Episode 35 - Signs

    Wouldn't be spooky season without one of our all time faves, M. Night Shayamalan's Signs. If you're looking for a reason to leave out all your water cups, we got you on this one. This one is a little more feel-y, but with good reason.

    Episode 34 - Young Frankenstein

    PUT. ZE CANDLE. BACK. This movie is horrifying in a completely different way than it was intended. We may not have grown up with this one, but as one of our dad's all time favorites, it was time to bite the bullet. Listen as we wrestle with the horror, humor, and as Kara continues to incorrectly pronounce words.

    Episode 34 - The Hunchback of Notre Dame

    A truly terrifying, beautiful, confusing and not at all "classically Disney" Disney film is the focus today. Flames of hell! Wine guzzling Gargoyles! A one shouldered dress! We get into why we love this one, and also ponder if it's actually a movie for kids.

    Episode 33 - A New Hope

    In this week's episode, we see if just Ricky and Kara can carry the episode. Major topics include Kara annoying Ricky, good vs evil, and the charms of Han Solo and Ewan McGregor.

    So I Married an Axe Murderer

    We know we always say "We're back." But here we are again. We bring you another movie we were NOT allowed to watch, but that was a giant part of our childhood. Mike Myers, his hair, meats, and murder make up today's episode. PS for the ladies : don't smell like soup.

  7. A Muppet Christmas Carol

    A Muppet Christmas Carol

    Could this be the most all around Christmas film? We put it to you, that maybe it could be. A true Alcantar kid classic and favorite, this one really has all the feels.

    BATMAN RETURNS

    Merry Christmas! Our first Christmas movie this year is Batman Returns. What's that? You didn't know it was a Christmas movie? It is. It has tinsel, lights, trees, boys raised by penguins (?), women with the souls of cats (??), vigilantes dressed as bats (???) and also Christopher Walken. Was our dad right to NEVER let us watch this? YES. Yes he was.
