THREE film-loving siblings watch TWO movies and pick which ONE better achieves what it sets out to do!Together, Meg, Noah, and Eliza will watch two films that share some kind of similarity; it might be an obscure connection (did you know 'A Bug's Life' and 'Seven Samurai' have the exact same plot?) or a dumb and obvious one ('Billy Madison' vs. 'Billy Elliot'). Then, they pick apart both films in the kind of funny, faceted discussion that could only occur between twins (and also their other sister ugh).New episodes released every Sunday!

50. The Big Chill + Forrest Gump (feat. Leanne Bartram)

with a half-century worth of episodes we r officially going through a MID-LIFE CRISIS

On this celebratory 50th Golden Episode, Noah and Eliza show what their mama gave em - some strongly held OPINIONS on boomer cinema!! Joined by legal legend and Janssen family matriarch Leanne Bartram, it's a battle of the generations, centred around two movies that depict and challenge the lofty values and culture of the 1960s, especially when compared to the excess and ruin of the 1980s.

Leanne still loves Forrest Gump, Robert Zemeckis' Oscar-sweeping tear-jerking story of a simple man happening upon American history. Ensemble comedy The Big Chill is a bit more specific, following a weekend of reunion between some hippies-turned-yuppies after a close friend's death. But both have soundtracks that put the BOOM in baby boom, and the discussion may just see a small family get torn apart :O
