We're celebrating Kirsten Dunst's 1999 theatrical releases this May! Look out for our main episode on "Dick" and our mini-episode where we divide and conquer "Drop Dead Gorgeous," "A Mighty Heart," and "The Virgin Suicides."

Sarah, Hallie, and John discuss the original 1954 Sabrina, starring Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, and the 1995 remake, starring Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford. CW: The 1954 Sabrina contains a plot point about suicide. If you are feeling alone and having thoughts of suicide—whether or not you are in crisis—or know someone who is, don’t remain silent. Talk to someone you can trust through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call or text 988 or chat the lifeline.

We didn't love this movie but we do love Paulina Porizkova and Tom Selleck! Also, whoops we scheduled two writer-rom-coms back to back. Is that a sub genre? If it wasn't before, it is now! Other topics include how much we love the mall and how much we hate The Razzies. If you want to check out this movie yourself, it's free with ads on YouTube (as of Feburary 14 2024).
