Whether it’s breaking out of prison, surviving the psych ward, or just losing it in solitary—nothing’s off limits. Will someone pull a sneaky institutional steal in the late rounds? Will Angelina get interrupted mid-pick? And who’s got the guts to leave The Green Mile on the table? One thing’s for sure: this episode is full of bars, breakdowns, and Brooks was here-leve...

Black 20: Word!
It’s draft day, baby—and this time, we’re picking squads of cinematic legends with just one word to their name. That’s right: no colons, no subtitles, no “Part IIs”—just pure, uncut title greatness. From Jaws to Whiplash, Titanic to Parasite, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of one-word movie magic. Will someone reach too early for Cats and ruin their entire team? Will Shrek make the cut, or is green ogre slander alive and well? Will Frozen get picked on merit or just because someon...

Red 18: Get in loser, we’re drafting movies!
Friends turned frenemies for one episode only — today, it’s a full-on locker room draft battle as we go head-to-head picking the greatest high school movies of all time! From detention halls to burn books, to even the blood-soaked hallways of Woodsboro, we're assembling squads so iconic, even Regina George would be jealous (and probably try to sabotage them). Expect passionate debates, petty shade, and some deeply questionable picks (someone will defend High School Musicallike their life depe...

Black 31: Liz's choice!
This week we land on black 31, Liz's choice and she wanted to have the upper hand in one of our mutual favorite categories, sports movies! Let’s be real, this one hurts, because we both love a good underdog story, a motivational locker room speech, and that slow-motion final play that makes you cry every single time. Drafting our favorites feels less like friendly competition and more like trying to choose which of our beloved children gets to start. Expect dramatic sighs, shameless trash tal...

Red 1: Screen lovers, bed covers!
This week we’re turning down the lights, fluffing the pillows, and drafting the movies where the characters have the kind of Bed Chem that makes you blush, swoon, or maybe just open a window. From stolen glances to sheets-on-fire sparks, we’re putting our picks head-to-head to see whose list heats things up the most. Will our choices make you feel like you’re flying (cue the handprint on the glass), or leave you shouting ‘Big mistake, huge' if we miss the mark? Either way, sparks will be sail...

Red 9: Moore is never too much!
This week the wheel gave us a gift wrapped in red hair and Oscar gold: Julianne Moore! We’re drafting the very best of her films—from prestige tearjerkers to unhinged guilty pleasures—and trust us, Moore is always more. Will one of us walk away with a list full of award winners, or will the other steal the crown with chaotic curveballs (Evolution, anyone)? Grab your tissues, your martinis, and maybe a feathered robe, because it’s time to decide once and for all: which Julianne reigns supreme?...

Red 27: Blockbusters & beach towels!
Grab your flip-flops, popcorn, and maybe a fan, because this week the wheel spun us straight into Summertime Chaos! We’re talking blinding sun, melting ice cream, questionable road trip snacks, beach sand in places sand should never be, and the kind of cinematic joy that smells faintly of sunscreen and regret. The tans are fake, the sweat is real, and the competition is hotter than a car seat in August with the windows rolled up. Who’s locking in the ultimate summer movie lineup, and wh...

Black 17: I wanna dance with someone!
Get ready to step up and save the last dance—because this week, we’re drafting the best (and worst-but-we-still-love-them) dance anthem movies of all time! In a totally serious, not-at-all-chaotic cinematic showdown, we take turns picking our dream team of toe-tapping, body-rolling, pirouette-filled flicks. From iconic classics that made us believe in the power of dance (and tank tops), to understanding you never put Baby in the corner. Will your favorite make the list or get spun out? Grab y...

Red 16: Billy's the Wedding Singer, Happy's the Big Daddy
"Welcome back, you beautiful weirdos — it’s Season 3, somehow! We’re older, louder, and still dangerously under qualified to be speaking into microphones… but that’s never stopped us before. We're kicking off this seasons with a great category, a mutual love of both Liz and Betsy, the one and only Adam Sandler! Nothing says “serious cinema analysis” like grown adults emotionally spiraling over who gets Billy Madison while someone else drafts Pixels just to start a fight. This chaotic co...

Special Episode: The city that never sleeps!
In this season finale, we’re hitting the streets of the Big Apple — popcorn in hand — to draft our all-time favorite New York movies. But don’t expect a lineup full of the usual suspects. Nope. We’ve got some surprising picks, some questionable choices, and a noticeable lack of “classics.” Will you be disappointed? Or are you not even surprised at this point? From chaotic cab rides to niche indie gems that may or may not involve a bagel, we’re taking you on a cinematic subway ride through the...

Black 13: My cousin Vinny can't handle the truth!
Order in the podcast! In this highly objectionable episode, we go head to head to draft the Best Courtroom Movies of all time. Join us as we pick one at a time, in a cinematic smackdown full of fiery cross-examinations, surprise witnesses, and maybe even a little legal grandstanding. Will someone recklessly grab A Few Good Men in round one just for the speech? Will My Cousin Vinny be snatched before someone else can yell “biological clock”? And what under-the-radar pick might quietly win the ...

Black 28: Everybody was kung fu fighting!
This week, we crane-kicked our way into a no-holds-barred, headband-rockin’, nunchuck-flingin’ category: the Best Ninja and Karate Movies of all time. Join us as we somersault straight into the dojo of cinematic glory to draft our ultimate martial arts movie dream teams. It’s a spinning-backfist of nostalgia, bad dubbing, and even worse acting—as we take turns picking from the most legendary (and gloriously low-budget) fight flicks ever thrown onto VHS. Expect the occasional "HI-YAH!" as we b...

Red 9: Get in, Loser. We’re Robbing a Museum!
This week, we rolled a category where everything’s on the line—vaults, jewels, priceless art, and occasionally, someone’s wounded ego. That’s right: we’re diving headfirst into the slick, stylish, and frequently explosive world of heist movies. Whether it’s a crew of well-dressed charmers pulling off the impossible, or a brooding criminal mastermind planning a score that’s “one last job” too many, we’re breaking down what makes these cinematic stick-ups so irresistible.

In this episode, we’re turning the dial all the way up and spotlighting movies where music doesn’t just set the mood—it isthe mood. That’s right, we’re drafting our favorite Music-Centric Movies. From tearjerking biopics and drum-bashing dramas to straight-up rock ‘n’ roll mayhem, we’re diving into the cinematic mixtape where every note packs a punch and every beat has a backstory. Will your go-to music movie make the cut—or get the hook? Tune in, sing along, and maybe throw up some devil hor...

Red 3: And the Oscar snub goes to...!
Alright, friends—hold onto your popcorn, because this week, we’re getting reel-real about the Oscars. You know how every year we sit down, watching those shiny gold statues get handed out, and we’re all just sitting there with our jaws on the floor, wondering, "How did THAT movie/actor/actress NOT get nominated?!" Or even worse—how did that NOT win?! What kind of Oscar magic are we missing here? Well, surprise, surprise, this week’s category is just that, we got That should have won an O...

Red 12: The L Word: Legendary Films
Lights, camera, queerness! In this week's episode we're drafting our favorite LGBTQAI+ films of all time. From cheeky rom-coms to heartbreaking stories and somethings in between. It’s not just about the steamy love scenes and sometimes dreadful dialog (although, let’s be honest, we do love those), it’s about visibility, representation, and telling stories that have been too long overlooked. Will there be more tears or cheers...or both?! Perhaps even some fan favorites may miss the list all to...

The roulette wheel has spoken, and fate has thrown us into the magical realm of Fantasy Movies! Now, it's time to duel—one of us is clearly more at home in this world of spells and epic quests, while the other might just be winging it like an underprepared sidekick. But don’t count anyone out just yet—this draft is going to be a battle of wits, strategy, and maybe a little bit of sheer luck. Will it be an underdog story or a predictable triumph? Only one way to find out! As always, YOU ...

After a brief break from last week, we're back and this week, we’re all about eye candy—no, not that kind (well, maybe a little).

From breathtaking cinematography to jaw-dropping effects, we’ve got a lineup of pure cinematic beauty. Who picked the most stunning selection?
