We unpack one grandfather's extremely specific will, what counts as genetic material? And what is the flight time from New York to Athens?! Is there an actor you think...

We talk a heck of a whole lot about these films, but we also cover so much more, like a very lighthearted story from Jessica about being stone-cold pelted with marbles. Plus where do they print those g...

That's GOVERNOR Arnold Schwarzenegger to you! This ep Hope watched his best movie according to Rotten Tomatoes (The Terminator, which was great) and Jessica watched his worst film (The Villain, which was...hmm.) In both cases, "a role has met an actor," to quote June Diane Raphael. We're talking robots, live-action cartoon parodies, the future, the past, and boy movies that have apple-pie-and-a-gu...

It's time for THE Kelly Kapoor!

I mean we're TAKEN with him. Do you get it? It's a Liam Neeson pun!!!

Don't worry somewhere over the rainbow there IS a podcast. Because this week the gals are watching Judy Garland's best and worst films according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes!

Also, if you in fact know what Liberty's Kids i...

The movie star of all movie stars!!! Jessica watched Julia Roberts’s best movie on Rotten Tomatoes (The Normal Heart) and Hope watched Ms. Roberts’s worst movie (Mother’s Day).

Check, check, and check again. It’s the perfec...

Here we go! In honor of this episode's muse, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hope and Jessica decided to rap their summaries of his best and worst movies according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes.

In addition, the gals discuss tree boys, American history, and Joker: Folie à Deu...

The King of Hair!

Where to begin!!!

Jessica watched Harrison Ford's best movie according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes (Apocalypse Now) and Hope watched Mr. Ford's worst (Paranoia).

Guten tag! It's Keegan-Michael Key week, and what a guy. Unfortunately neither his best nor worst film according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes has the oomph he deserves.

Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod? Email us at tiptopsa...

What an episode before you, dear listener! Jessica watched Keira Knightley’s best movie according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes (The Imitation Game) and Hope watched her worst (Silk).

It's Dr. Cristina Yang herself: Sandra Oh! Jessica watched Ms. Oh's most acclaimed movie (Sideways) and Hope watched her least acclaimed movie (Mulan II). One of those films is sort of a musical, and the other has been adapted into a sort of musical, so this ep of the pod contains a whole lot of singing. The gals also tackle wine smells, author tropes, and incels. Enjoy! Is there an actor you thin...

You’re in for a wild ride on this one, listener.
