Fiction Fixation Fiction Fixation

On the heels of TTPD’s release we needed to feel... Well, tortured. Emotionally mangled. Cruel manipulation. Some less than honorable intentions if you will. And this movie delivered from the joyless, unsupervised teenagers, all the way to the vehicular manslaughter and a surprise funeral revenge plot? Yes, please.

When Miss Americana and a London Boy fall in love one cruel summer, nothing is ever all to well with them again. So long London. That mastermind is glittering elsewhere now. Welcome to The Department. Is it a college? A psych ward? A morgue? We’re about to find out.

We present to you, this unintentional comedic masterpiece, starring Gina Rodriguez and Ariana Greenblatt. We watch them as they face the struggles of sleep deprivation, including but not limited to; looting, widespread vandalism, cognitive decline, irritability, one creepy pastor, grand theft auto, murder, the US Military, teenage boy attitude and potential human sacrifice. Did we mention this was just after day one? Also, why was no one else concerned about the power? We’ll never know.

We will never forgive TikTok for delaying our watching of ”Damsel,” the 2024 dark fantasy starring the phenomenal Millie Bobby Brown. This movie is all about feminine rage and revenge, so buckle up girly pop, we are diving into a deep pit to settle some old royal family debts. Not willingly, of course. That’s where the rage part comes in. Join us for our hilarious recap of the young maiden who refused to die a virgin.

When an ambitious young woman tells a little white lie on a plane to impress the hot British guy beside her, she has no idea how far she will have to take it. After all, doesn’t she know the first rule of a rom-com? The stranger sitting beside you on a plane is someone who you will for SURE see again.

On our search for a modern Rom-Com that ticks all our boxes brought us to the 2024 romantic comedy Upgraded, staring Camila Mendes, Archie Renaux, and our queen Marisa Tommie (who should be wearing a cape and eating men). Did this rom-com do it for us? You’ll have to tune in to find out. But I’ll give you a spoiler: we had a blast recapping it and laughed our little heads off.

Rose was dying to watch Anyone But You for the podcast. A rom-com enemies to lovers feature two hot actors? This was right up our alley. However, while we usually lovingly drag movies over the coals, this movie we tie to train tracks. This movie really got us going. So buckle up and prepare, we are on our b******t this episode. Hilarity ensues. Hope you enjoy!
