    Better Off Dead...

    Katie and Bridget do a lot of UMs as they re-watch the 80's movie: Better Off Dead... ! It's a somehow rated PG movie all about a teenager looking to end his life when his girlfriend dumps him.... Yup! We're also confused! Come along as we meet Lane, a walking boyfriend of red flags who spends the movie being mopey and possibly schizophrenic once his girlfriend Beth dumps him for the captain of the ski team - our own real life Ken doll named Roy. Along the way there's his best friend Charles, a 55 year old teenager, and Monique, a foreign exchange student who may or may not be in a human trafficking situation. They help Lane get over his sadness and win at a ski competition - which is apparently what this was all about(!?) except it actually wasn't(!?) but FINE! Will Lane be able to survive all the way to the end of the movie? Does he skimp out the paper boy on a mere $2!?

    The Wizard of Oz

There she commits manslaughter, breaks up a potential cult, and learns about the patriarchy - all while singing and dancing throughout. Oh yeah, there's also a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion (oh my!) who tag along and well... We guess they kind of help...? Will Dorothy be able to escape the clutches of the Wicked Witch of the West?

So good!

Bridget and Katie are the perfect pair of sisters, who give such a funny and deep dive into some of the best movies from our childhood. I love their chemistry and how each of them brings a different outlook on each movie, bringing up lots of little tidbits that I had forgotten about when I watched each movie as a kid. And I always look forward to their dad’s special quote—so funny! Keep it up sisters!

Love!

Omg I’m in love with this podcast! Listened to The Holiday, Love Actually, then Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I heart the feminism, the full-throated laughing, the witty digs that are so right on. I’m cracking up the whole time. I cannot describe how much I love and appreciate the background facts like the mini bio on Nancy Meyer. And then when their dad comes in on the Big Fat Greek Wedding episode - What?! Yes!!!!!! I couldn’t love this podcast more!!

Ladies, I love you like silky pajamas, kettle corn, and a fuzzy blanket with a movie.

More, please!!

PS - As an honest lover of language and all dialects, the Jersey coming through is pure gold.

PPS - Before Sunrise! Recently rewatched what had been a formative movie (what?!) and couldn’t believe how I ever found the male character remotely attractive. So messed up. I want to hear you break it down.

Hilarious Sisters Who Scene It

Bridget and Katie dazzle during every episode. They are so down to earth and relatable and say what everyone is thinking about every movie they discuss. Their laughs are contagious and I can’t get enough!
