So...I'm Watching This Show Kristin & Wil

We’re back for the second to last installment of Twilight! Our annual tradition comes to an end next year in spectacular fashion, but don’t worry, we’ll find something else to keep you entertained.







Twilight holds a very special place in our hearts. Rachel and Kristin both love the books. And despite the many criticisms, they really enjoy the movies as well. Sometimes in ways the filmmakers didn’t intend, but often it pushes past its weirdness and is just good. There’s a LOT in this one that is just straight up weird though, and we get into it DEEP.







But what do you think about Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1, and the series in general? Let us know in the comments below!















TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN PART 1 SHOWNOTES!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! And for the Americans in the room, I hope you are reconciling with our countries very troubled past! We just like the excuse to eat some delicious food.







Our Thanksgiving tradition returns this week with Muppets From Space! Up until this point, our Muppets for Thanksgiving tradition has been really fun. However, From Space is uhhh… inconsistent. Weird you might say. And not in the fun way that all the other Muppet properties are weird. We go into detail in the episode, so hop on in! We still had fun watching it, it just was sort of unexpectedly one of the lesser Muppet projects.







What do you guys think of Muppets From Space? Are you with us, or is it one of your favorites? Let us know in the comments! Wil didn’t even really realize it wasn’t that good until this rewatch so maybe your nostalgia still has a hold on you. If not this one, which Muppet movie or show is your favorite?

The Marvels has long been on everyone’s radar. It was announced forever ago, and we’ve had two TV shows come and go introducing characters that star in it. So why was no one excited about this film? And why wasn’t it better than it was?







Well we explore that and more on this episode. The Marvels is the culmination of all the mistakes Marvel and Disney has made since Endgame. It feigns connectivity by bringing in characters from the shows, but it doesn’t use them very well. And it doesn’t address really any ramifications of their actions. It was a fun movie, yeah, but The Marvels is just another CGI mess with a boring villain easily digested and forgotten about.







What did you think of The Marvels? We know it’s been kind of divisive. And to be clear, we liked it alright, but it wasn’t good. We think pretty objectively it wasn’t good. That doesn’t mean we didn’t like it or you shouldn’t like it. But you can like something and recognize its faults. Art and life are not as binary as the internet would have you believe. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

It’s finally here! Our most anticipated movie of the year has arrived and it DELIVERED! Greta Gerwig’s Barbie not only lived up to our expectations but blew them away. It was everything we didn’t know we wanted.

BARBIE SHOWNOTES!

OK so we’re revisiting Titanic today, and yes it is in the forefront of our minds because of the unqualified tragedy of the Oceangate submersible. However, we are day oners for this movie, with about ten theater viewings between us. We love it, we’ve always loved it, we’re always going to love it. Is it perfect? Probably not. But as far as broad blockbusters go it’s not too far off.







Are you guys big Titanic fans? The movie or the event, either works. And we know that being a “fan” of the event doesn’t mean you’re happy it happened, just that you find it interesting. We’re cool. Sound off in the comments!

It is finally here! We’ve been talking about it for SO DANG LONG! But finally we get to see Rob Marshall’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, the Disney animated classic from 1989. The lead up to this was sort of strange for us. On one hand, mermaids are Wil’s favorite thing… like ever. And the original film is beloved in the group. On the other hand, the Disney live-action machine hasn’t cranked out a ton of winners, and neither has Rob Marshall. So we were excited about the toys, but skeptical about the movie.







Fortunately we were pleasantly surprised! The Little Mermaid (2023) wasn’t a revelation, and it wasn’t as interesting as it could have or should have been, BUT (big but) it was really solid for what it was. Cinderella still remains top of our Disney remake list, but this is a strong second. We still really think they need to get away from the “nature documentary” approach they established with The Lion King, and boy were the dresses (or lack thereof) disappointing. Aside from those gripes though, and the fact that it was too dark, we liked it a lot. Hear us get DEEP into the specifics on today’s episode!







What did you guys think of Disney’s The Little Mermaid live-action remake by Rob Marshall? Did it justify itself, or did it play as just another cash grab by Disney as they’re unable to keep their existing content relevant to younger viewers? Let us know in the comments! Any comment helps though if you disagree with us we’d prefer civilized discourse over judgement. THANKS! And hit that notification bell because we guess that’s important.
