Pretty sure you’ve seen this episode of Grey’s Anatomy. This week, we are recapping the 2008 movie Made of Honor. Where has this movie been all our lives? A love triangle between Patrick Hempsey AND Kevin Mckid? Please and thank you.  We explore the mysteries of male bonding and answer the old questions--is it misogyny...or it it trauma? Tune in for our hilarious recap of this movie. 

Get ready for a wild ride down memory lane with The Last Song on this week's episode of Fiction Fixation. Courtney and Rose are taking on the starting point of the infamous Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth romance (they met on the set of this movie).

This episode, we're taking a trip to 1999 as we recap the classic romantic comedy Notting Hill.

In this episode, we're bringing you a recap of the 2022 film, Alone Together, starring none other than Katie Holmes. This movie takes place in the not so distant past of 2020, a time most of us are actively trying to forget.

Join in on the thirst trap that is Noah Centineo as we recap the the 2019 Netflix movie The Perfect Date. While the movie may be lacking in the cheesiness we expect (they really held back on the parmesan), we are graced by the lovely and terrifying Camilla Mendes. New year, new laughs. Hope you enjoy!

This one is a special episode of Fiction Fixation! In this Holiday special, hosts Courtney and Rose take full advantage of that magical week after Christmas, when expectations are at an all time low, and becoming a couch is a suitable goal. We will chat more informally about movies, shows, and tropes. The ones we love and the ones we want to set on fire and throw into a black hole.  But that's not...

This episode we'll be recapping the classic romantic comedy "While You Were Sleeping," starring none other than our bread and butter, Sandra Bullock. Join us as we dive into the characters, the plot twists, and the hilarious moments of this fan favorite. We'll also be discussing how the film holds up more than 25 years after its release. This one is messy as hell, and we are here for the tea.

Yang, and Darren Barnet, and follows a young woman named Natalie who travels to her online crush's hometown for Christmas...without giving him a heads up. What could go wrong, right? Tune in to hear our hilarious take on the misadventures that ensue as Nata...

Every once in a while we are confident enough to say our recap of a movie is more entertaining than the actual movie...this is one of those times. Netflix's 2018 movie Candy Jar is about two prep school kids competing for the spot of #1 nerd whilst ignoring their blatant mommy issues...MEANWHILE our recap is about two judgey millennials who have a knack for fun banter, inappropriate jokes and rare...

Thanksgiving is over and it's time to, you know...fight seasonal depression--I mean--prepare for Christmas! Lucky for you, Netflix has a 2022 Christmas movie called Falling For Christmas, Staring Lindsay Lohan. Yes, THAT Lindsay Lohan.

The 2022 Movie adaptation of Where The Crawdad Sings, a novel by Delia Owens, was flanked with controversy when the press began to draw parallels between the novel and a suspicious death that the author stated she had nothing to do with. We watched the movie so you don't have to. Check out our full recap of the movie, where we muse about the town weirdo and the perplexities of a maybe murder.

Who's ready for sad girl Autumn? This episode we are recapping the 2002 movie A Walk To Remember staring Mandy Moore and Shane West (adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel by the same name). In true Fiction Fixation fashion, we have the most fun when recapping sad movies. Can our twisty sense of humor make you chuckle during this sappy-tear-jerker of a movie? Only one way to find out!

In this episode, Courtney and Rose dive into a delicious dark comedy, Do Revenge. Staring Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes.

Join our hilarity as we give you our insights and comme...

Join our hilarity as we give you a full recap of the movie full of l...

Do you know what we didn't need in 20/20? A creepy psychological thriller about a girl inheriting her father's dark secret. But that's what we got with the 2020 movie Inheritance, staring Lilly Collins. This podcast is the only place where you will get to hear the alternate endings to this movie...non official endings...okay, it's the endings we wish we would've gotten. Come join the hilarity as w...

Spooky season continues! In this episode, we recap the 1996 witchy cult classic The Craft. If you ask Rose, this is a creepy freaking movie that capitalizes from the satanic panic era of the 90s. For Courtney, the hijinks these witches get up to is more akin to casual sleepover type-things. Join our hilarity as we lovingly drag this uniquely 90s movie, with crazy-eyed Nancy and too-trusting Sarah.

It's officially spooky season. We are kicking off our October-fest schedule with a hilarious movie recap of the beloved 1995 film, Hocus Pocus. It's more than just a 90s movie with comedic 90s-movie logic, it's got magic, and  hags, and parents who might be snorting fairy dust at parties. Hope you enjoy!

We are kicking off spooky season with one of our all time favs, the 1998 movie Practical Magic, staring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. We are relieved that the movie (which we adored as kids) has withstood the test of time, minus some interesting plot holes here and there. Still, there's plenty for us to laugh and wonder about. Hope you enjoy our humor and unsophisticated takes on this millenni...

For our 50th episode, we wanted to recap a movie everyone is sure to have seen OR purposefully avoided. The 2004 film adaptation of the Nicholas Spark novel The Notebook was the winner. While we have strong feelings on the author, the story itself was a jackpot for us. Red flags. Ryan Gosling. Drama. All the things we love. Naturally, hilarity ensued! Check out our banter-filled, laugh-out-loud re...

In this episode we recap the much-hyped about 2019 movie Hustlers, staring Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu. It's a flip-the-script on men kind of day, perhaps, because this movie follows the true events of a group of strippers who finessed and drugged their way into millions of dollars by conning thirsty men. How far is too far when it comes to seeking revenge on the patriarchy? The law says grand...

In what might be one of our shortest episodes to date, we must warn you about this expletive filled rant. In this episode, we recap the 2017 South African Romantic Drama, Catching Feelings, which stars Kagiso Lediga and Pearl Thusi. This the story of an insanely unlikable hero who girl bossed too closed to the sun. We didn't like him one bit, but were united in the common goal the tear him to shre...
