Join Steph and Jess as we wrap up ‘You Talkin’ to May?’ with 1999’s Analyze This. Steph fangirls over Billy Crystal, we both agree that Bob Deniro is looking mighty fine in '99 and bad mobster/Joe Pesci impressions galore, oh my!

Join Steph and Jess for 'You Talkin’ to May?' with 1998’s Mafia! Starring Bella’s dad and Jay Mohr. While we agree it’s no Hot Shots Part Deaux, it’s a solid “ok”. Well, the first half anyway. Especially if you like fart jokes. Mama mia!

Join Steph and Jess in the last episode of April Animation with 1994’s The Swan Princess. Not The Princess and the Goblin, in case you were confused like Steph was. Although this was not the movie Steph originally thought she was choosing, we both agree the animation is still beautiful and the first half is pretty delightful. Its the lame villain, aka Janitor Willie, and the meh second half that b...

Join Steph and Jess in this early childhood fave, 1994's A Troll in Central Park. Where everything is absolutely green and absolutely average. We agree the animation is still beautiful, and if you're in the 1-6 age range, ya know, the targeted audience, you'll probably think its fine.

Join Steph and Jess in this very special finale to Mary Jane March as we get to interview the writer, producer and director of 2023's The Last Deal, Jonathan Salemi! We deep dive with Jonathan into the making of this guerrilla shot, gritty crime thriller and get all the fun facts our listeners deserve. Thank you so much again Jamie for reaching out and to Jonathan for being our very first intervie...

Join Steph and Jess for Mary Jane March with 2014’s Inherent Vice. Somehow this one slipped by us, but who even knows where they were in 2014? This one definitely deserves another watch as you have to not take your eyes away for one second or you’ll miss something. And by you, we mean Jess. Come pop a squat, take a toke, and let’s get groovy, man.

Join Steph and Jess in 2002's The Mothman Prophecies, as Stephanie faces her bridge collapsing fear. She realizes maybe she's actually more afraid of America's crumbling infastructure and faith in things made by man than the actual bridge falling down thing. We discuss Mothman theories and legends and how much we wanted to like this movie..but didn't.

Join Steph and Jess in the grand finale of The Twillight Saga: The Minisodes. How does Steph feel now that the Saga is over? We discuss how a movie made for teenage girls sure has a lot of vampire f*cking in it, and how a whole franchise can be ruined by one line.

Join Steph and Jess in the first installment for Face Your Fears February. Jess faces her fear with 1990’s Arachnophobia, the movie that gave her arachnophobia. Steph is disappointed in how it pales in comparison to her memories and is actively rooting for the spiders, while Jess still had the heebie jeebies just talking about it days later. Jess reveals America’s top 7 phobias and March’s theme i...

Join Steph and Jess in the last episode of Jam Packed January (subcategory: Aliens: Almost Done Waiting?) with 1998's The Faculty. Or; The Breakfast Club with Aliens, as we have dubbed it. We reminicse over our childhood crushes, Josh and Elijah, respectively. Also, we announce whats going on for what's shaping up to be an equally jam packed February!

Join Steph and Jess in the third minisode of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. Steph is appalled at the way Bella is treated by both Edward and Jacob and is now Team No One. We come to the conclusion that Bella isn't really in love with Edward, she just wants to be a vampire.

Join Jess and Steph while we await the aliens with 1997's Alien: Resurrection. You know the drill, Ripley warns everyone, no one listens, everyone dies. We agree Sigourney Weaver is the best thing about this movie..besides the alien hybrid getting sucked into space, butthole first.

Join Jess and Steph in the continuation of The Twilight Saga: The Minisodes with movie number two, New Moon. Same premise, different monster. Steph learns the meaning of more classic Twilight memes and Jess asks the age old question; are you team Jacob? Or team Edward?

Join Steph and Jess in the first minisode of the Twilight Trilogy Saga. Will Steph hate it as Jess predicted? Is she still willing to go along with a whole ass saga? Can they indeed cram 5 movies in before the new year? Stay tuned to find out!

Join Steph and Jess on this fine Cannibal Christmas Eve with 1999’s Ravenous. We reminisce our love of the quirky soundtrack and Steph dishes some draaaama behind the scenes of said soundtrack. We recap our year on FilmGazers and Steph poses an interesting question: If you could live any character’s life from any movie, who would it be? Tune in to find out the answers! Happy Holidays everyone!

Join Steph and Jess for an aperitif before the main course on this Cannibal Christmas with 1982’s Living Dead Girl. We agree it’s more vampiric than cannibal, but c'est la vie! Steph discovers the director’s spicy side gig whilst researching fun facts, and we discuss that while this is kind of a boring horror flick, it's actually a lovely lesbian tragedy. L’amour la mort..

Join Steph and Jess as they trudge through the last offering of Big Back November, 2010’s Eat Pray Love. An hour too long and plenty of fat shaming, you’ll feel just like you're at home for the holiday dinner! Put on your “big lady pants”, Julia’s words, not ours; and gobble til you wobble with us. Happy Holidays!

Join Steph and Jess at the big back table with 1999's Simply Irresistible! Steph explains how researching the fun facts led her to stumble upon why this movie sucks so bad. And it ain't the magic crab. Christmas Theme finally announced!

Part of the Spooky Season Minisode Double Feature! Steph's run down of her Spooky watchlist with overall thoughts and star ratings, from Netflix's new film Tarot to 1989's Intruder with a crew of horror movie legends and more! Have a Happy Halloween!

Join Jess for a review of 1963's The Birds! Will it still be as terrifying as she remembers from childhood? Spoiler- it's not..

Join Steph and Jess in this final installment of Spooky Shalhouby, 2001's Thirteen Ghosts. Although we think it should've been titled, Glass Puzzle House to Hell With, Like, 4 Ghosts in the Basement. Jess gets this and another movie's ending confused and Steph realizes her memories are actually of the dvd's special features. Also, November's line up is announced!

Join Steph and Jess as they dive into Spooky Shalhouby month with this surprisingly dark and twisty tale. 2023’s Mr Monk’s Last Case is filled with ghosts, murder most foul and an obvious bad guy. (looking at you James Purefoy) It’s a jungle out there folks, a jungle out there.

Join Steph and Jess for the last installment of “Sinful September” with 2001’s Frailty. A, if we’re being totally honest, a huge disappointment from our 14/17 year old mind’s memories. We discuss the key points we remember, which was not really much come to find out, and how this is the second movie starring Mathew M that barely had him in it. And once again, are we sure this is coming from God? P...

A special minisode introducing Steph's husband Andrew and our thoughts on the latest M. Night flick!

Join Steph and Jess as they take a journey back to 1999 for Stigmata, the movie that probably contributed to Steph’s departure from catholicism. We discuss Patricia Arquette’s peak Y2K fashion and bringing back giant acrylic rings, please. WWJD? Probably not watch this movie.
