The Screen Queens kick things off by revealing their dream last meals before diving fork-first into Julie & Julia - the ultimate foodie film from former Betchie winner Nora Ephron. It’s a culinary fever dream about a woman obsessed with mastering the art of cooking “Frenchly” while following in Julia Child’s footsteps, leaving Bryan personally victimized by every single thing Julie does. Jack drops an alarming amount of Julia Child trivia, while the team debates: is this Amy Adams’ most narcissistic character ever? They question whether Julie had the most depressing job imaginable and if Stanley Tucci truly deserves the crown as the gayest straight man alive. Join us as we try not to start a 2009-style food blog out of pure nostalgia and delusion!

This month the Screen Queens are serving up foodie films, starting with the Disney Pixar comfort classic, ‘Ratatouille.’ The hosts rank how ‘Ratatouille’ stacks up against other Disney Pixar classics, then they discuss if French food is really the best cuisine in the world (hint: butter might be overrated). The Screen Queens dive into the artistry that Pixar puts into every. single. one. of their films and why all your favorite Pixar movies might be more connected than you think. Doing a deep dive into nostalgic childhood foods, Bryan confesses his childhood snack that leaves us wondering is that really a ‘snack’? From secret rat chefs to five-star meals, we’re unpacking how ‘Ratatouille’ made us all believe anyone can cook (even if it’s definitely a health-code violation). Grab your wine, cheese, and chef hat because we have movies to feast on all month long. 11/10–Julie & Julia, 11/17–The Menu, 11/24–Eat Pray Love Learn more about your ad choices.

This week the Screen Queens coven dissect the cult classic ‘Practical Magic.’ The hosts unpack everything from the insane details in the Owens house to the reason it was a box office flop. Lexi aka Antonia Owens, gives the Screen Queens an insider look on what it was like to be on the ‘Practical Magic’ set. From impromptu celeb visits to Nicole Kidman giving her a Barbie horse stable at the wrap party, Lexi gave us all the hot takes and heartwarming moments we needed. Then, Tess gives Maddie and Jack a crash course in manifesting and it literally is practical magic. Now the Screen Queens are ready to brew up their spells for the perfect man, and flipping pancakes like Gary Hallet is a must!

This week the Screen Queens dive broom-first into the Disney Channel Original Movie ‘Halloweentown,’ aka the movie that made every millennial hope they also had secret powers. The hosts unpack everything from Debbie Reynolds’ iconic performance as Grandma Aggie to the chaotic world of Halloweentown (why was there a ghost in a sauna?). The movie’s comically low budget, campy dialogue, and practical effects gave it charm, but exposed its flaws.  Becoming a witch and living in Halloweentown was a 90s kids’ dream but 25 years later the real world looks a little more appealing. The biggest question on our minds: Was ‘Halloweentown’ actually good, or were we just kids with no taste?  Next week we’re diving into the final movie in our spooktastic lineup ‘Practical Magic.’  Watch along and let us know which Owens family member you relate to the most.

It’s time to light the Black Flame Candle because Betches Video Club is summoning ‘Hocus Pocus,’ the Halloween classic that went from box office flop to full-blown cultural phenomenon! They’re digging into why the Sanderson sisters are the ultimate gay icons, whether Bette Midler’s chaotic camp energy single-handedly carried a franchise, and why those cursed-looking teeth prosthetics are a main part of the movie’s charm.The hosts debate the sibling dynamics, questioning whether Dani might actually be the worst sister ever and if Emily was lowkey terrifying. Finally, they ask the age-old question: why did they say “virgin” so many times in a Disney movie? Join them next week as they hop onto the magical bus and head to ‘Halloweentown’ (1998) with Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie! #hocuspocus #betchesvideoclub #spookyseason #halloweenmovies #sandersonsisters #cultclassic #disney #bettemidler #moviepodcast #popculture Learn more about your ad choices.

The Screen Queens are lit-erally screaming as they kick off spooky season with the ultimate horror-comedy cult classic: Scary Movie. In this episode, they’re breaking down the cultural role of parody, debating how far is too far, and why the “gay villain” trope needs to finally retire. Jack admits he has no clue who one of the film’s biggest stars is (and that he has basically no pop culture knowledge pre-2005). They explore why the Wayans Brothers sat out the sequels, if modern viewers would get the jokes, and whether Scary Movie 6 can live up to the original madness. But the biggest question on their minds-did this movie age well, or is it gloriously frozen in early-2000s absurdity? Next week, they’re hitching their broomsticks with a re-watch of Hocus Pocus! Watch along and let us know which Sander’s sister you’re channeling this year! At the end of October, they’ll close out Spooky Season by casting their votes for the ultimate Halloween movie of all time. 00:00 Intro 01:25 Our Irrational Fears 03:31 Wayan's Brothers lore 08:00 Hot Teens Getting Slayed 11:20 All The Tiny Little Bits You Missed 12:14 Important Lesson In Filmmaking From Scary Movie 16:00 Could This Movie Be Made Today? 20:00 Did Scary Movie Age Well? 26:40 Outro #ScaryMovie #HorrorComedy #CultClassic #WayansBrothers #Early2000sMovies #MovieRewatch Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Betches Video Club, the Screen Queens dive into the chaotic, emotional, and lowkey delusional world of Americans abroad. The Parent Trap, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, and The Lizzie McGuire Movie shaped how an entire generation of teens thought international travel would go, and *spoiler alert* the bar was set unrealistically high. From dual Lindsay Lohans orchestrating the parent trap across continents to Lizzie McGuire becoming an international pop star by accident, these millennial-core films defined our dreams of romance abroad. Also the way America Ferrara absolutely ate in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, give her an Oscar! The hosts take a nostalgic look at what these movies promised us, from self-discovery to an entirely false sense of what a middle school class trip to Rome might be like. Whether you’ve watched these movies a hundred times or haven’t seen them in two decades, this episode is your ultimate rewatch companion. Expect plenty of laughs and honest reflections about what these films taught us (for better or worse). Find out which Summer blockbuster blew the most minds (and budgets) on our next episode!
