Episodes

Adventures in Babysitting: Don't F*ck With the Babysitter 22.09.2026

Join Steph and Jess and we wrap up Jaunty AdventureSeptember with 1987’s Adventures in Babysitting . We agree the car thief, Joe, was the real leading man and Chris should’ve ended up with him instead of boring ol blue eyes. Ya think? 🍿 Buy us a popcorn! buymeacoffee.com/filmgazers

Wild America: Horses, Gators and Bears: Oh My! 08.09.2026

Join Steph and Jess on a Jaunty Adventure to the great outdoors with 1997's Wild America, starring two of our 90's boy crushes. We reminisce over our own adventures in the outdoors making movies with our hand me down camera, and how this movie influenced us. Yes, it’s ridiculous. But it’s for kids. And these kids loved it. Buy us a popcorn! 🍿 buymeacoffee.com/filmgazers

Cujo: F*ck You, Dog 25.08.2026

Join Steph and Jess wrap up the Dog Days of Summer with 1983’s Cujo, a PSA for rabies shots and emergency supplies. And, you know, maybe leave the reliable transportation with your wife and child. But the most unbelievable part? That Joe Camber would go to the trouble to put a hold on his mail to go a drinkin’ and a whorin’. Buy us a popcorn! 🍿 https://buymeacoffee.com/filmgazers

Black Dog: One Last Load..of Commodes 11.08.2026

Join Steph and Jess on these Dog Days of Summer with 1998’s Black Dog, starring the perfect man, Patrick, and Mr Randy Travis. We fangirl over “sex in a tank top” Swayze and Steph goes on a deep dive into 1998 to dig up some extra fun facts. We agree this movie is bonkers in the most fun way possible. Haven't seen it yet? Tsk, tsk.

Underwater: Let's Light This Sh*t Up 28.07.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we come back to land from our exploration into The Big Blue Wet Thing with 2020's Underwater. Steph was pleasantly surprised there were monster monsters and they actually look scary! We agree it's a solid horror flick and has practically every one of Jess's fears in it. And, ya know, Cthulu. Buy us a 🍿 buymeacoffee.com/filmgazers

Sphere: Norman is a Flip Floppin Lil B*tch 14.07.2026

Join Steph and Jess dive into the Big Blue Wet Thing with 1998’s Sphere, a fave of Steph’s in middle school. While we agree some of the design is cool, Jess loves a good spaceship catwalk, the material is meh. When we think of something from space, a golden undulating golf ball just isn’t it. Now a silver undulating golf ball, that’s different. That’s science. Buy us a popcorn! 🍿 buymeacoffee.com...

Stop! That! Train! : Airplane! on a Train! 23.06.2026

Join Steph and Jess (and the gals) for this minisode-on the go! We get the besties popcorn rating fresh from the theater and later we give our more in depth opinion. Spoiler: this movie is dumb. In the best way possible. Buy us a Popcorn! 🍿 buymeacoffee.com/filmgazers

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: Meh 26.05.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up our SOGO (Southern Gothic) Summer with 1997’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Steph has a hot take about director Clint "Old Man Yells at Sky" Eastwood, and we both agree the best part about the whole film is the legendary Lady Chablis. “Two tears in a bucket, motherf*ck it” might just be our new life motto.

Eve's Bayou: Quintessential Southern Gothic Storytelling 12.05.2026

Join Steph and Jess for a Southern Gothic (SOGO) Summer with 1997’s Eve’s Bayou. We ooo and aww over the gorgeous swampy aesthetic, discuss our thoughts on“that scene”, and play a fun new game, 6 degrees of Samuel L Jackson. See ya later Pineapple Thief!

Frequency: Sci Fi-Fantasy-True Crime Lite 28.04.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up springing “Back in Time” with 2000’s Frequency, starring Jesus and Randy Quaid’s brother. Steph summed up our feelings of this rewatch perfectly,” It was hot garbage, took too long to get there and doesn’t make any f*cking sense at the end.” Oddly enough, that describes most Dennis Quaid movies.. Go Mets! Enjoying the show? Buy us a popcorn 🍿 and help keep Filmga...

Time Cop: Time Machines and Machine Guns 14.04.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we Spring Back in Time with 1994’s TimeCop. We discuss Jean Claude’s impressive flexibility (that splits on the countertop scene!) and the utter lack of any science in this science fiction flick. Steph has a hot take about Van Damme and Jess has an interesting story of something that happened to her over Easter weekend. Also we announce the winner of the 100th episode giveaw...

100th Episode Celebration: Bloopy Doops and the Tomato People Game 31.03.2026

Join Steph and Jess for our 100th episode celebration! A little bonus minisode all about us, bebe. We got a little blooper reel to amuse you and a little movie podcast game to entertain us. We discuss our favorite and not so favorite episodes AND announce how to enter the GIVEAWAY! Listen for all the deets, and thanks for listening! Buy us a 🍿⬇️ buymeacoffee.com/filmgazers

The Cable Guy: It's Just Skin, Steven 24.03.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up March Madness and celebrate our 100th episode with 1996’s The Cable Guy, the movie that honed our sense of humor. We still agree Chip (Ernie/Larry/Ricky) looked like a good time, he just kept picking the wrong lame-o’s to stalk. Who doesn’t like Medieval Times and karaoke? How about a sequel with "Ricky Ricardo" and the helicopter medic going skydiving for their Y...

The Lighthouse: Ye Keep Doing That, Ye Gonna Go Blind 10.03.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we descend into "March Madness" with 2019's The Lighthouse. A FTW (First Time Watch) for both of us that had us saying WTF. We agree the cinematography was chef's kiss and Willem Dafoe gave a stellar performance as a lil drunk moth, but it was also bat shit crazy. Moth shit crazy? Who shit? Crazy. 🍿 Buy us a popcorn! buymeacoffe.com/filmgazers

City of Angels: They See You When You're Sleeping..and You Know 24.02.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we round up "Tragic Romance" with 1998's City of Angels, the movie that made Steph hate God. While we agree that on this rewatch it's defintely on the boring side, Jess still has rose colored nostalgia glasses on. We discuss THAT ending and announce what our 100th episode will be! May the nosy ass angels watch over us all. Buy Us A Popcorn 🍿 https://buymeacoffe.com/filmgaze...

Brokeback Mountain: Stemming the Rose @>-;-- 10.02.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we start Tragic Romance off with 2005's Brokeback Mountain. Yes, that gay cowboy movie. Steph has a hot take about Ennis and Jess has a hot take about the score. While we both agree it is as beautiful as it is depressing, it'll defintely be a while before we watch it again. Buy us a popcorn! 🍿 https://buymeacoffee.com/filmgazers

Signs: Old Mcdonald Had a Firearm 27.01.2026

Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up, "Are You There Aliens? It’s Us, Filmgazers” with 2002’s Signs. We agree it’s M Night’s best movie even though the dialogue is a little.. odd. We discuss the scenes that still made our stomach drop and Jess asks, which group are you in? Group one that believes in signs? Or group two that thinks it’s all random luck? Also, our “tragic romance” picks are announced!

War of the Worlds: No Robbie, Not Like Europe 13.01.2026

Join Steph and Jess in the first installment in the series, Are You There Aliens? It's Us, Filmgazers, with 2005's War of the Worlds. The movie that even Spielberg admitted has a lame-o ending. While we agree Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning were the stars of the show with their acting, the plot holes and blink and you miss it ending make this film miss the mark. Tom looks good running though. Also F...

Miracle on 34th Street: You're Literally Sucking the Magic Out of It 30.12.2025

Join Steph and Jess as we wave the white flag and end our War on Christmas with this stinker of all stinkers, 1994’s Miracle on 34th Street. Nothing says Christmas like a court case? Steph feels totally vindicated on her hatred of this film and Jess agrees, Christmas with the Kranks ain’t looking too bad now. In the words of little Susan, “Nothing left to see but horse poop, and that doesn’t thril...

Christmas With the Kranks: The Spirit of Peer Pressure 16.12.2025

Join Steph and Jess on our “ War on Christmas” with 2004’s Christmas with the Kranks, and spoiler alert: Jess still hates it. We agree it had some humorous parts- a botox’d Tim Allen eating peaches still made us chuckle. But the thought of anyone telling us what to do with our holiday still grinds our gears so we’ll keep this movie on the naughty list. And who tf spends $6000 on Christmas?!

Minisode to Go: Top 3 Spielberg Movies 02.12.2025

Join Steph and Jess in the field - or rather- in the woods as we take you with us on our meander down a forest trail, discussing our top 3 Steven Spielberg movies from childhood and today. Also some crunchy leaves ASMR.

Willow: There and Back Again, A Nelwyn's Tale 18.11.2025

Join Steph and Jess for the finale of Fantasy and Fellowship with the Gentry family staple, Willow! While Steph proclaims it’s no Lord of the Rings, she does agree the combination of special effects and acting between the effervescent Val Kilmer and Warwick Davis are what make the film memorable. Jess still considers it a solid fantasy staple. What say you, peck?

LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring; Potheads Save the World 04.11.2025

Join Steph and Jess for some Fantasy & Fellowship with 2001’s Lord of the Ring : The Fellowship of the Ring. Extended Version. Basically the perfect movie, the end. Seriously, we agree that once you watch the extended version you’ll never go back to the theatrical ones. Jess proclaims Peter Jackson is now synonymous with Lotr and Tolkien and will never watch any other remake. Unless it’s an Ar...

Sinners: Vampires on the Side 21.10.2025

Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up Fangs for the Memories with 2025's Sinners, a beautiful drama with a splash of vampires. While we agree the horror aspect is greatly over hyped, the storytelling, acting, costumes and music is very well done. We could've actually done without the vampires altogether and just focused on the whole SmokeStack twins escaping Chicago crime bosses aspect. Maybe we'll ju...

Blade: Open Season on Suckheads 07.10.2025

We're back in the saddle again! Join Steph and Jess after an impromptu health hiatus with the first installment in the Fangs for the Memories, 1998's Blade. We discuss the epic soundtrack, the man candy, the Badassery of it all..we just want to be naughty vampire gods, dammit.
