Bowie Bulge Bonanza (Movie Recap, Labyrinth)
This week, we deep dive into an 80’s acid trip. Starring David Bowie (and his bulge, as an unpaid actor) and Jennifer Connelly. This movie is a childhood favorite for Courtney. A repeat flier at the Goblin King’s castle. Explaining this movie as an adult, led us to a ton of questions about Jareth’s suitability to care for a child, even in the short term.

George, What's Going On? (Movie Recap, The Midnight Sky)
George Clooney stars in this post-apocalyptic, psychological.... Thriller? Something has gone down on earth, we never find out what, but something bad. Luckily, they have an escape planet, but they sort of vetted it too late. Earth is dying, a space ship is en route back home with no safe place to go. We’re confused, they’re confused.

It Was a Gateway Drug (Movie Recap, Tuck Everlasting)
We take it back to middle school in this week’s deep dive, with Tuck Everlasting. Starring Alexis Bledel and Johnathan Jackson. Picture it, Virginia, the year 2000, pre 9/11, your dealer (librarian) hits you with this sweet little ditty. Kidnapping, LUST (or is it love?), immortals, deceit, defiant teenagers. It changes the trajectory of your life. Nothing its quite the same for years. You chase that high within the pages of dozens...DOZENS of book. Finally, you can’t stand it anymore, you commit your first crime, you steal that middle school’s library book. You have it currently, 25 years later.

Follow That Gut, Babe (Movie Recap, Woman of The Hour)
With Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, we deep dive into this 2023 based on a true story thriller, Woman of The Hour. Starring Anna Kendrick, Autumn Best and Daniel Zovatto. This is a tale as old as time- good looking man turn out to be a serial killer who is too emotional and eventually bested by a woman who played his game better than him. Two women actually, the one who got away and the one who put him away.

Jason Gideon Was Here (Movie Recap, The Princess Bride)
After years of putting it off (and for WHAT?) we finally deep dive into this cult classic, The Princess Bride. Starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright and Mandy Patinkin. We... Loved it. The DRAMA, the BETRAYAL, the SASS, the ACTION, the romance. Ok, so the romance isn’t the point here. And this DID take place a long time ago, so we can’t blame Buttercup for not seeing the red flag. She didn’t know to be looking for them.

He's Still An Intern (Movie Recap, Baby Girl)
After all the fan fare regarding Baby Girl, we decided WE too wanted to a part of it. This 2024 Erotic Thriller stars Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, Harris Dickinson and Sophie Wilde. The cinematography, the acting A+, 10/10. The storyline? Didn’t hit the way we thought it would. At the end of the day, he’s STILL AN INTERN and YOU’RE STILL HIS BOSS... Like yeah, he’s a snack and half. But... perhaps there were better options out there babes.

Sorry For The Snow Edits, Suzanne (Movie Recap, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes)
This recap, we apologize to Suzanne Collins for still believing young Snow is an absolute snack. This 2023 film is based of a novel by the same title. Set in the early years of the Hunger Games universe, our MC is none other than President Snow... as a teen. You may be thinking to yourself, this is his villain origin story, I’m going to find out WHO caused Snow to be the way he is. And you’re right, you will. But there is no empathy here. Snow, even as a teen, was and always has been, his own villain. The only thing he has going for him is that he’s hot AF. Other than that? Total sociopath. There was never any redemption for him.

Run, Forest! From Jenny (Movie Recap, Forest Gump)
This episode we deep dive into this 1994 classic, starring Tom Hanks, Sally Field and Robin Wright. Watching this movie as a adult, definitely changes some perspective. For a man who was considered ’the local idiot’, Forest did more with his life than Rose and Courtney put together. The layer of historical presence woven into Forest’s tale is **chef’s kiss**. Not to mention the little jokes that we never noticed as kids. Sadly, it also brought one along the startling realization that Jenny may very well be the villain here.

Girlboss Energy (Movie Recap, Erin Brockovitch)
Our recap this week is an OG tale of Girlbossing to the max, starring Julia Roberts as a badass paralegal. This based on a true story movie is a cautionary tale of why Attorneys should listen to their paralegals more often (speaking from past experience here). Erin literally got in the trenches for her clients, AND THATS WHATS UP.

Jail, All Of You (Movie Recap, Miller's Girl)
This week’s recap stars Jenna Ortega as a child cosplaying adult games with actual adults. Sure she’s 18, but I think we can all agree that 18 year olds are honorary adults at best. To be honest, even the adults in this movie don’t act like it, we got two almost pedophiles, an alcoholic author and parents who thought it would be a good idea to leave their mentally unwell daughter home alone in their historic mansion while they went... Somewhere?

It's A Girlhood-Com (Movie Recap, Uptown Girls)
We’re really loving the nostalgia lately. This week’s deep dive features a delightfully young Dakota Fanning and the forever quirky Brittney Murphy. Courtney and Rose again realize that the love interest in these Rom-Coms are just NPCs for a subplot that doesn’t even matter. The men were actually wholly unnecessary. Which tracks, if we’re being honest.

Where Was That Gun? (Movie Recap, Miss Congeniality)
We deep dive right back into some nostalgia with this weeks recap and revisit the fresh into the Millenia classic, Miss Congeniality. Starring Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, William Shatner and Candice Bergen.  Sandra is always a vibe. We’re never mad about it. However, this movie is very late 90’s early 2000’s. Girl needs a makeover so boy sees her for HER. But this girl has a gun. Several actually. Because this is America.

Love or Limerence? (Movie recap, Wish You Were Here)
On this weeks deep dive we recap Wish You Were Here, a movie based on the novel by Renee Carlino AND Julie Styles directorial debut. Yes, that Julie Styles, we checked. Courtney is a big fan of this tragic tale of love and losing, and Renee Carlino in general. Would you throw yourself into a doomed, short term relationship just to end up heartbroken in the end? Charlotte sure does. Maybe it was the dumplings, maybe it was smile, who knows.

Narcissist Gonna Narcissist (Movie Recap, Alice Darling)
This week’s deep dive is psych thriller, starring Anna Kendrick. Our hot take, psych thriller are scarier than regular thrillers. And what’s more terrifying than a mentally abusive man that everyone loves? Imagine telling your friends that the perfect guy you’re dating is terrible. Not only that, he’s so good at it, that you think your the problem. He’s gotten so far into your head that YOU look crazy.

CIA To PTA And Back To CIA (Movie Recap, Back In Action)
Cameron Diaz returns to acting with Jamie Foxx in this week’s recap.  They go from banging their CIA partners (each other, duh) to beating the shit out of creepy dudes in clubs hitting in their teenage daughter. It’s been about 15 years, but they still got it. And blow their cover in the process. Spy comedies are always a good time, and this one is no different.  CIA training is like riding a bike... right?

Juicy Mummy Wasn't The Villain (Movie Recap, The Mummy)
On this week’s recap we serenade you with the tale of Juicy Mummy, Brendan Fraser and Katherine Weiss. A 90’s masterpiece outlining the classic trope of boy meets girl, girl saves boy from being hanged, boy takes girl to mythical land and together the awaken Juicy Mummy and must work together to save the world. A perfect love story.  Did we mention 1998 Brenden Fraser in his floppy hair era?

Delusional Derby (Movie Recap, Whip It)
This recap of Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut starring Elliot Page is a dangerous one for Rose and Court. The vibes, the aesthetics, the rage- it made us think we too, could be Roller Derby Girls. We can’t, for the record. But we adored this coming of age film. As former 17 year old girls AND as women who are... No longer 17.

Ho, Ho, Ho For Those Arms (Movie Recap, Die Hard)
Its been the age old December question: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? We’re happy to announce that we’re not here to answer that for you. We ARE however here to recap this 1988 classic starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. This was a first watch for both Rose and Courtney... We wanted to drag this movie, because we like to be haters sometimes... But there isn’t much to drag. Except our jaws off the floor while gawking at Brucey’s biceps. We’re unwell. Send help.

He's So Toxic, Babes (Movie Recap, Two Weeks Notice)
Swimming in a little bit of nostalgia with this weeks recap of Two Weeks Notice. Starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. We get he’s hot, he’s British for some reason, he rich AF... But girl, he doesn’t want a girlfriend, he wants a mommy. And not in the kinky way. He wants a legit mother. You’re an m-effing attorney. You have a whole ass law degree and you STILL got dickmatized. Its ok, it happens to the best of us. And at the end of the day, you’re still Sandra Bullock.
