Send us a text In this episode,  we celebrate cinema with a drink in hand and a touch of irony. Since it’s Women’s History Month, we thought—what better way to honor it than by discussing the most diabolical female villains in movie history?

Send us a text In this episode, we’re talking about those rare films that can make even the toughest, most stone-faced dudes shed a single, manly tear.

Send us a text “In this episode, we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Gremlins—the movie that made us all second-guess late-night snacks and exotic pet purchases.
