For what is surprisingly Adam Sandler's first sequel, Lucy Watson joins me to talk about why it's actually a misunderstood hilarious comedy. We discuss the truly huge cast, our love for Shaq, and try to decipher what the plot is!

We're back with yet another JLo movie! This time Dev Roberts joins me to defend the early 00's rom-com Maid in Manhattan. We talk about Dev's crush on Ralph Fiennes, the weird pro Republican themes, and why Stanley Tucci looks so old in it compared to now.

A movie with an astounding 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, is Problem Child really deserving of such a low rating? Jen Ives joins me to prove why it should be higher, and we discuss many, many other things, including our favourite movie genres, classic TV shows, and Jen's time as a little rascal.
