Tip Tops & Flip Flops

She is the moment, now come on now: it's Jane Lynch! Hope watched Ms. Lynch's best movie according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes (Best in Show) and Jessica watched her worst (Post Grad). For probably the first time ever – we have not done the research, so who's to say for sure – this is the first ep where Hope and Jessica have both seen each other's film! They talk all things Glee, belt b...

This week we’re tackling James Earl Jones’s highs and lows. Jessica watched his best movie (Dr. Strangelove) and Hope watched his worst (Casper: A Spirited Beginning), and bombs went off in both films. They talk about ghost rules, face blindness, and the college admissions scandal. It’s a whirlwind! Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

A true icon of the screen like Cameron Diaz deserves way better than these movies. Hope watched her best film according to the critics of Rotten Tomatoes (Being John Malkovich) and Jessica watched the worst (Keys to Tulsa). Fair warning: Hope gasps a NUMBER of times in this ep, so get ready for that. The gals chat eggs, therapy, the richter scale, and wild Chicago memories. It's a big one! Real Wa...

It's atomic bombs vs. dance bombs. Jessica watched Josh Peck's highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes (Oppenheimer) and Hope watched Mr. Peck's worst (Battle of the Year). They dive into these films and tackle everything from misogyny to breakdancing to fedoras. They also discuss the beautiful program Selling the OC, which you should go watch right now. All around there are some low highs and high...

To quote that Dance Moms producer talking about Abby Lee Miller, "She's zooming, dude." Jessica watched Zoom, Courteney Cox's worst film according to Rotten Tomatoes, and Hope watched Cox's best: Scream 2. This is an ep to remember! The gals ZOOM into the films at hand and discuss superpowers, Girl Guide oaths, and milkshake fingers. They also touch on fanfiction, but who's surprised there? Is the...

Sometimes you must go to school and rock. By that we mean Jessica watched Jack Black's highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes (School of Rock, of course), while Hope watched his worst (Envy) – a film with the most unhinged premise we've tackled thus far. They chat about so many things. Tattoos! Dead horses! Colonoscopies kind of! And they make it clear that if Miranda Cosgrove ever decides to...

In perhaps our wildest episode yet, we tackle Henry Golding's oeuvre! Hope watched his tip top movie (Crazy Rich Asians) and Jessica watched his flip flop movie (Assassin Club). In addition, they discuss many, many things, including 500,000-word fanfiction, One Tree Hill, and completely accidental racism as children. It's redeem or be redeemed. Is there an actor you think would be great for the po...

We're dealing with THE maker of genius tunes like Disturbia and Pon de Replay: it's Rihanna!!! Jessica watched Rihanna's highest-rated film (Guava Island) and Hope reunited with an old friend in Rihanna's lowest-rated movie (Battleship). In shocking news, both gals had a lot of fun with these motion pictures. They talk about water displacement, eye contact during dancing, the definition of physica...

The gals attempt to celebrate Michelle Pfeiffer by discussing her highest and lowest-rated films on Rotten Tomatoes. Hope watched the best (The Fabulous Baker Boys) and Jessica, thankfully, got to watch the worst (New Year's Eve) – and she cried during this movie!! They chat dog names, singing etiquette, and ball drops. Plus, if you have a brother, would you ever address him as "little brothe...

KJ! KJ! KJ! Jessica watched Kevin James's highest rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes (Monster House), and, between naps, Hope watched his lowest (True Memoirs of an International Assassin). The gals really do talk everything this week, from soup nicknames to Lego hair to the incredible announcement of a new Downton Abbey movie. Plus, if you have dirty windows, just go ahead and clean them. Is there an...

We're in the After Earth – well Jessica is, as she had to soldier through Will Smith's worst movie. Hope got to watch Men in Black and had a blast, so this ep really runs the emotional gamut. The gals talk slaps, badminton, journals, and, of course, Kevin James. They also ask why so many sci-fi movies are obsessed with pheromones, and what exactly are pheromones. Is there an actor you think would...

Apologies for the slight delay – we're back and better than ever! This week, the gals are talking Mark Ruffalo’s highs and lows, from best picture winners to best-picture-winner remakes. Plus, Hope laughs too close to the mic, Jessica asks a very important question about 9/11 magnets, and various types of skates come into play in a big way. Is there an actor you think would be great for the p...

We're going back in time, baby! Hope watched Audrey Hepburn's best movie (How to Steal a Million) and Jessica watched the worst (Laughter in Paradise). They talk all things magnets, swell tomatoes, the sands/hands of time, and pranks. And they even do some of that talking in bad French. Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

This week, the gals appreciate the truly great act-eur that is Dev Patel. They watch his best and worst films (Only Yesterday and The Last Airbender) and they discuss periods, water, and the range of movies with "hotel" in the title.

Somehow neither Hope nor Jessica has watched Harry Potter this week; instead they've experienced Ballet Shoes (Ms. Watson's highest-rated) and Regression (Ms. Watson's lowest). They discuss Satanic panic, a towed car, fanfiction, and Fossils – yes, that should be capitalized. Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

Why not (why not) watch legend Hilary Duff's best and worst films? Sadly, A Cinderella Story and Cadet Kelly do not take home the title of "best" and that is no joke genuinely sad, but alas! The gals discuss bugs, Tanzania, and, of course, Haylie Duff. Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

You may know him as Batman, or the guy in shorts in The Big Short, but Jessica knows him as nothing: it's Christian Bale week! The gals tackle his best and worst films and discuss kings Henry V, Cnut the Great, and Dongus the Inquisitive. They also wonder if sentient mandolins make sexual partners. Lots of things happen.

Coming to you live from the floor (in Hope's case), this week's ep is Taylor Lautner. Jessica watched the best (Twilight), Hope watched the worst (The Ridiculous 6), and, shockingly, Kevin James is in neither. The real question is: Are you Team Jacob, Team Edward, Team Kevin James, or Team Olly Murs? Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod? Email us at tiptopsandflipflops@gmail.com...

Happy Jamie Lee Curtis Day! Hope watched the best (Knives Out) and Jessica watched the worst (Christmas with the Kranks). They talk all things cruises, Krispy Kreme, Belsnickel, and Chicken Soup for the Soul. Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

The gals unpack the cinematic highs and lows of comedy legend Eddie Murphy – or Edward Murphy, if you're Jessica. They discuss Dolemite Is My Name (the best), A Thousand Words (the worst), and magic trees. Plus, if you were harmed by thinking the movie Jack and Jill was about the nursery rhyme, you are not alone. Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod? Email us at tiptopsandflipflo...

To honor Orlando Bloom, Hope watched The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Jessica sat down with The Calcium Kid. Fascinating experiences were had. Our gals discuss goo, wrestling vs. boxing, and milk at great length. WARNING: Hope screams at one point out of shock and utter awe. Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod? Email us at tiptopsandflipflops@gmail.com Follow us on Lett...

This ep, the gals tackle Jennifer Lawrence's stellar filmography with Winter's Bone and (The) House at the End of the Street. They discuss squirrels, cardboard tampons, and what The Hunger Games is about. Do they do Hope's middle school hero justice? Not really! Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod?

It's The Fonz, it's Barry Zuckerkorn, it's Gene Cousineau. Hope watched Henry Winkler's best film and Jessica watched the worst, which isn't the Drake and Josh Christmas movie even though Henry Winkler is in that. They talk about hacky sack, shampoo, and the (literal) meaning of fly fishing. It's a doozy. Enjoy! Is there an actor you think would be great for the pod? Email us at tiptopsandflipflop...

The gals are back to basics this week – AKA the normal format – to celebrate Octavia Spencer. Jessica watched her best film (Zootopia) and Hope watched the worst (The Divergent Series: Allegiant), and everything stayed very chill and on-topic the whole time. That being said, if you think they discuss Doc Hudson from the Cars universe at one point, you may be correct. Is there an actor yo...

Come one, come all. Hope and Jessica take a quick break from the normal format to wish you happy holidays via the "movie" Pottersville. They live watch this 2017 Christmas Classique that Jessica stumbled upon randomly (aka while investigating Thomas Lennon's IMDB). WARNING: Hope does scream/gasp/shout a couple times, so, you know, be careful if you're driving and stuff. Whatever you expect from a...
