Girl Crush Podcast

Usually, when we have to order a DVD from another country to watch a movie we *know* what we are in for but honestly couldn’t have even begun to guess for Jack the Bear.  This strange 1993 film starring Danny DeVito and Gary Senise (Reese plays a small supporting role!) left us scratching our heads. Is it for kids? Adults? Why did the central plot start halfway through the movie? Tune in to the ep...

Come back to the 1950’s with us as we review the iconic movie Pleasantville starring Reese Witherspoon, Tobey Maguire, and Jeff Daniels! We were super excited to review one of Anne’s childhood favorites & discuss the themes and humor in this movie. Tune in to hear how this ranks vs EVERY Reese movie!  Episode sponsored by: Bright Endeavors : https://brightendeavors.org/ Instagram : https://www...

Join us for our review of the 2013 film Devil's Knot starring Reese Witherspoon, Alessandro Nivola, and an almost unrecognizable Colin Firth! Based on a true story, we do our best to bring some levity to this episode that could otherwise be quite the downer. Find out what we think of Reese's portrayal of real-life mother Pam Hobbs & how this movie stacks up in our rankings!    Wander...

Little Red Riding Hood takes an even darker turn in this modern adaptation starring Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland!  Reese plays a spitfire, down on her luck, girl just trying to get to her grandmother's house when the big bad wolf offers her a ride (stop hitchhiking, people!!) and things start to go south.  We really enjoyed this movie, full of action and dark humor.  Listen to find...

Sometimes, a movie just reminds you of other movies without leaving much of its own impression on you. This Means War (2012) is that movie.  Despite starring (of course) Reese, Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Chelsea Handler, and Jenny Slate, we spent more time discussing paintballing and our own lies we'd tell if we had to hide our identities as secret agents. Spoiler alert: we would get caught. We&a...

Join us as we review the 2014 film The Good Lie. This film, following the story of 4 Sudanese refugees, is eye opening, heartwarming, and thought provoking! Tune in to learn more about the awesome casting choices, Reese's role within the film, and how this movie ranks vs. every other Reese Witherspoon movie! Despite the film following a tragic but uplifting story, we're sure to lighten t...

Today's episode is all about the 1998 noir-like drama Twilight. No, not the vampire one, though this somewhat boring/confusing plot could benefit from the excitement a vampire would bring! Even though this movie wasn't our favorite, this episode is still bound to entertain you...between our critiques we talk all-inclusive resorts, best buffalo wings, and a girl crush fave Margo Martindal...

We're going back to the 90's yet again to review the rom-com Overnight Delivery. This movie has it all - unbelievable shenanigans, creepy delivery driver, quintessential travel mishaps, the ever lovable Paul Rudd, and of course our girl Reese Witherspoon! Tune in to hear why we find a movie that's so silly to be so likable...and find out where it falls in the ranking of EVERY Reese...

Available to watch for free on YouTube, we did not have high hopes for this tv movie with the longest title ever! Desperate Choices: To Save My Child is a 1992 drama based off a true story starring Joanna Kerns, Bruce Davison, and Joseph Mazzello alongside a young Reese Witherspoon. We were pleasantly surprised by this film, which was nominated for two Young Artist Awards, but we DO enjoy Lifetime...

What do you get when you combine an ancient curse, shallow rich people, and Catherine O'Hara? The 2006 movie Penelope...which one of us hated! Most fairy tales have some oddly cruel life lessons for children, but this one seemed especially questionable. Tune in to find out what we thought of this charming, yet confused, plot and how this stacks up in the ranking of EVERY Reese Witherspoon mov...

Join us as we review the 2012 coming-of-age drama Mud starring Tye Sheridan, Matthew McConaughey, and Reese Witherspoon. We discuss water snakes, our thoughts on Matthew McConaughey, and Reese's facials! Our ranking might surprise you on this movie, given the highly regarded plot....listen to the episode for the full scoop! Episode Sponsored by Yellow & Company: Website : http://www.shopy...

Scheming, crime, a giant leopard fur coat, Reese Witherspoon, and Josh Brolin come together for an entertaining, albeit underwhelming film in the 1999 drama Best Laid Plans. What the protagonist lacked in likability, Reese made up for with her acting - another instance where she truly shines in the 90's!  Listen to this episode to find out why this fell a little short & how it shakes out...

Join us as we review the remaining animated movies Reese Witherspoon has been in! We already reviewed Sing and Sing 2 (which we loved!) so this week we're reviewing The Trumpet of the Swan and Monsters vs. Aliens. These movies are completely different, but both feature a really well-known cast alongside our girl Reese! The Trumpet of the Swan: Jason Alexander, Kath Soucie, Carol Burnett, Mary...

Join us for what we have deemed Reese Witherspoon's WORST movie. Tune in to find out why we hated this 1994 dark dramedy (?). As a preview - this movie includes an unlikable protagonist and a boring plot that makes us ask SFW? As much as we hated the movie, this episode is a can't miss! Episode Sponsored by Yellow & Company: Website : http://www.shopyellowandcompany.com/ Instagram :...

We're bringing you Christmas in June! Join us for our review of the beloved holiday movie, Four Christmases. Reese Witherspoon stars alongside an all-star cast including Vince Vaughn, Kristin Chenoweth, and more! Tune in to hear our thoughts on Vince Vaughn's sarcasm, board games, and a little known fun fact about one of the stars! PLUS Ally talks about her trip to Switzerland, and Anne...

From the Disney Vault (it's not even on Disney+)!! Join us for our review of the little known 1993 Disney film A Far Off Place starring young Reese Witherspoon in her 4th movie. Surprisingly, this adventure drama is not Reese's only movie featuring elephants, nor is it her only movie set in Africa! Follow along as we discuss young Nonnie's journey across the desert to try to find sa...

This week we are reviewing yet another period piece of Reese Witherspoon's! Set in the 1930's we are immersed into a traveling circus full of amazing sets, costumes, and hair design.  Somehow Reese pulls off chemistry with both Christoph Waltz and Robert Pattinson, which we truly did not think possible.  Listen in to hear all of our thoughts and find out how Water for Elephants ranks acr...

This week we are reviewing the 1996 thriller, Fear.  This was an unknown movie for us prior to starting this season and we were very pleasantly surprised!  If we love Reese Witherspoon's 90's acting and also love Mark Wahlberg's 90's acting (see also our review of Rockstar in season 1 of Girl Crush!).... do we just love 90's movies?  Tune in to see where this movie ranks o...

Join us as we review Sandra Bullock's NEW movie The Lost City! In addition to our girl Sandy B, this film also stars Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, and Brad Pitt! We got to see this comedy together in theaters, and it's now available to stream on Paramount+. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the chemistry between the stars, jungle water, and Channing Tatum's bare butt (omg).  Even...

Join us for our 100th episode of Girl Crush Podcast!! This week we review the 2015 comedy Hot Pursuit starring Reese Witherspoon alongside Sofia Vergara. These leading ladies have a fun chemistry, but even they cannot quite save this film. We've seen the slapstick cop comedy before, and this one just isn't up to par. In this episode we discuss the silly plot, Reese's acting, and com...

This week we bring it back to the 1800s with two period pieces! First, we review the 2004 film Vanity Fair starring James Purefoy alongside Reese Witherspoon in this period film based off of a novel. This oh-so-boring plot was made better by the strength of Reese's acting! Listen to find out how we balance an underwhelming plot with good acting in our rankings. Next up is another 1800s writte...

When we say we had very LOW expectations for this 1991 TV movie starring Patricia Arquette alongside Reese Witherspoon, they were very... very... low given our experience with other early tv movies in our girl crush's filmography (please reference: Sandra Bullock's Early Crime Movies episode from season 2!) . Reese's 90's movies delivered once again, though, as we were both ver...

This week we are reviewing the 2010 rom com How Do You Know featuring an amazing cast with Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Kathryn Hahn, and Jack Nicholson alongside our girl Reese Witherspoon.  Though we can just never be convinced of Owen Wilson's love-interest potential when he's so good at being.... Owen Wilson... we really enjoyed this movie with Reese and Paul's comfortable on-screen...

Things get weird in this episode of Girl Crush Podcast as we review the 2000 comedy (attempt) Little Nicky starring Adam Sandler. This is the FIRST movie we watched for this season, so we were disappointed to have to sit through this whole movie for just a few minutes of Reese Witherspoon… But this is how dedicated we are in watching and ranking  EVERY Reese Witherspoon movie! And what we’ve found...

Join us as we review the 2014 film Wild, based off of a book by and experience of Cheryl Strayed. Reese Witherspoon stars in this unique drama that relies heavily on her performance given the amount of time spent alone. In addition to discussing her acting, we also go through  fun facts about the filming of the movie!  Listen to find out all of our scores and how this movie ranks compared to every...
