Silver Screen Sisters

Most excellent!! Sophie never watched this one! But with a cast like Keanu Reeves, Alex Winters, and George Carlin, what could be bad about it? Obviously nothing. But nobody actually knew it would be the hit that it was, paving the way for two sequels. That said, no. We do not want this one remade one bit. But we do want to watch Bill and Ted's entire presentation, please and thank you. www.s...

This movie took the world, and therapists's couches, by storm! Wes Craven's story genius made us twist the plot around and around as we talked about our favorite parts, which was definitely not all the blood. Billie hadn't watched this one before, nor does she like horror films. Meanwhile, Sophie has and does, which makes for a fun mix of reactions. Enjoy! www.silverscreensisters.co...

It was great seeing Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox reunite. But does anybody have some spare plutonium, a flux capacitor, and a Delorean we could borrow to go back and watching this film in theaters? Cuz that's what we all really want.  Welcome back after a little break! More movies and episodes coming your way, but feel free to reach out and say hi! Talk to us about your favorites! www...

"It's showtime." And don't worry Mr. Baldwin, we're just as bad at pronouncing things. We have a special guest this episode! Our big sister, Erin, has joined us to discuss one of her favorites when we were growing up. And how none of us remember quite how... colorful it was. Doesn't mean we didn't thoroughly enjoy watching this classic and talking about it with o...

Young Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze? Yes, please! Having never heard of this movie before, our money was on "horror." But spoilers! It's actually about hockey, specifically, a young man discovering what it takes to play hockey. But if you want to see Rob Lowe's butt, give this one a whirl. www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us everywhere here: https://linktr.ee/silverscreensiste...

Well, it was either going to be a scary movie or a werewolf movie... we didn't really think it would be both! Though, Billie was able to handle it so maybe "scary" was optimistic. One of the many Stephen King adaptations, this movie stars Corey Haim and Gary Busey and is worth watching for that alone. They make it as fun as having a motorcycle for a wheelchair. Which we're sure...

Billie hadn't even heard of this one before! Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell star in a romantic comedy full of questionable morals. There are also cute kids, a ride-or-die bestie named Billy, and some totally sketch mini-golf statues. We have a lot of fun reactions in this one. www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us everywhere here: https://linktr.ee/silverscreensisters

In this episode, you'll hear Sophie provide an excellent explanation of ranks in the U.S. Army and Billie nerd out over Vietnam War documentaries. There's also a power outage! Thankfully, we do manage to talk about the Academy Award winning movie, Platoon. And we came to a definitive conclusion: If you're going to watch any movie about the Vietnam War, watch the one made by an actua...

Time to figure out what all the fuss is about with this one! Billie never saw it before, of course. But with an iconic duo like Spielberg and Williams running the show, we know we're all in for a good one. Listen in for our reactions! www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us everywhere here: https://linktr.ee/silverscreensisters

John Hughes. Even we are familiar with this household 80s (and 90s) name. But that doesn't mean we've seen all of his movies. In fact, Billie hadn't seen this one! Listen in as two adults venture into the world of teenagers as seen though Hughes's eyes and reminisce on our own high school experiences. Which were very different from each others, it turns out.  www.silverscreensi...

Some vampires can't do holy water or garlic, and some just sparkle. These vampires drive motorhomes like they belong in NASCAR and can be cured with a simple blood transfusion. Written and directed by Kathryn Bigelow, this movie joins together two genres which fit surprisingly well together: Horror and Westerns. It's innovative and with a great cast. Listen in to find out what we thought...

We ain't 'fraid o' no ghost! Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Rick Moranis. Need we say more? A surprise hit in '84, even we've seen this one before, but we've never chatted about it. And we certainly had a lot to chat about!  www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us everywhere here: https://linktr.ee/silverscreensisters

So, what is the secret ingredient? We still don't know, but we do know that mistakes were made in this film by the three main characters: Daisy (Julia Roberts), her straight-laced sister Kat (Annabeth Gish), and the life of the party friend Jojo (Lili Taylor). Join in on the laughs as we react to the shennanigans of these lovely ladies. www.silverscreensisters.com https://linktr.ee/silverscre...

*** Trigger Warning: This movie and therefore this episode addresses the topic of suicide. Mental health is incredibly important to both of us. If you or someone you love is struggling with their mental health, we want to encourage you to reach out to someone and seek the help of a professional. *** The cast, the music, the director... It's no wonder this film was nominated for three Academy...

If you're looking for an Olivia Newton-John musical that attempts to merge 1940s Big Band music with 80s rock in a roller rink... this is it. As one of the muses from Greek mythology, Kira (Olivia Newton-John) is the source of inspiration for two very different men (Gene Kelly and Michael Beck) to create something new and bold. That's one sentiment for it at least. What do you think we t...

Who doesn't want a film about an unhappy woman stalking another woman, both of which are being stalked by a creepy stalker over a pair of hideous earrings worth a fortune? Throw in some amnesia, a solid case of mistaken identity, and Madonna, and there's the movie. Directed by Susan Seidelman, the film stars Rosanna Arquette and Madonna, and is a pretty wild ride. Listen in for our react...

An homage to Bruce Lee and martial arts films, this movie caught us by surprise! It's definitely an '80s flick, but it stays true to old school martial arts films... with a twist. With a well developed plot and strong characters, as well as questionable acting and musical choices, we had a lot to talk about.  www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us everywhere here: https://linktr.ee/silve...

Who else didn't know that this movie wasn't a musical? It definitely has a lot of awesome music in it though. Ricki Lake stars as Tracy Turnblad, a big, blonde, and beautiful dancer who advocates for integration all while showing Karen... ahem, Amber... how it's really done. Sonny Bono, Divine, Vitamin C, and Jerry Stiller also give unforgettable performances. Watch along and listen...

The Ultimate Bromantic Comedy. For reals. We love Nick Nolte and Martin Short, but then add in James Earl Jones and Alan Ruck? This movie had the chemistry it needed for it to be a fun and light-hearted comedy. And we'd never seen it before! So listen in for our reaction to this film and feel free to email us your own thoughts/feelings/stories about this movie (or any others)! www.silverscree...

Robin Williams. Shelley Duvall. Directed by Robert Altman. Should be great! Well... you might want to listen to our reactions first. Dive deep into this one with us to find the buried treasure (spoilers: it's spinach) and recognize the talents involved in this film. And yes, the set for the movie is an official theme park!

The Two Coreys! It's about time we ran into them. And what better way to celebrate our 10th episode than by reacting to a quintessentially 80s flick? However, we definitely had differing opinions about this film. From second-hand embarrassment to things escalating because a teen lies... It's a journey. Come along with us as we laugh and lament! www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us ever...

Trademarks: Dishevelled appearance. Slender frame. Deadpan voice. Towering height. And a hilarious and super chill dude. Meet Larry Hankin! You've probably have seen him in something, though you may not place it right away. And he leans into the fact that he's "Oh, That Guy." It was a true honor and privilege to have Larry on the show and to be our first ever interviewee in thi...

Who doesn't like a good Al Capone/prohibition movie? Well, how about the guys that took him down for tax evasion? While we’ve never seen this one before, this critically acclaimed, Academy Award winning film with Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, and Andy Garcia doesn't fail to entertain. But what are our reactions? www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us everywhere here: https://linktr.ee/sil...

The first episode where we’ve both seen the movie! Yes, even we've seen this one. :) A lot. So we decided to talk about some trivia behind this one as well as our favorite bits. Take a trip down memory lane with us, and if you have never seen this one before, it's never too late. www.silverscreensisters.com Or find us everywhere here: https://linktr.ee/silverscreensisters

With the new Dune remake hitting theaters just last fall, the timing for watching this movie couldn't be better. It's an epic story, but how did we react to the original movie? What did David Lynch think of the final cut? And do you want us to compare this movie to the new ones?
