Girl Crush Podcast

Last episode we reviewed the iconic 1994 film, Speed. Now it's time to review the letdown of a sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control.  Speed 2 loses Keanu Reeves and picks up the slowest motorized vehicle possible...both equally devastating changes. The chemistry between Bullock and co-star Jason Patric leaves much to be desired. Willem Dafoe plays the villain, and while very creepy, the story just...

The time has come to review what’s widely regarded as Sandra Bullock’s breakout film, Speed! Starring Keanu Reeves alongside Sandra, this action-thriller has everything you could want…amazing chemistry between the leads, a tension-filled plot, people coming together in the face of disaster, and a bus jumping 50 feet of unfinished highway. Tune into hear how this film ranks against every other Sand...

What do a Barnes & Noble Cashier, a Matisse painting, a fish factory, and a cement truck have in common? Check out Two if by Sea to find out!  This 1996 "romantic comedy" features Sandra Bullock and Denis Leary as their characters grapple with moral obligation,  slight identity crises, and a blossoming love of art (and each other?).   While there were things we liked about this movie...

Bullock goes bionic! Join us as we review the 1989 film with the longest title ever, Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman. This is Sandra Bullock's second movie, and we have to say there's a clear step up from her first movie which we reviewed last episode. This film features some lovable 80's music, dialogue, and costumes that elevates this otherwise con...

We’re going WAY back, to Sandra Bullock’s first movie ever! The 1987 film Hangmen is literally the WORST movie we have ever seen. Not just for Girl Crush Podcast…actually ever.  The horrible video quality of watching on YouTube certainly did not help, but woof, this is a tough one! A young Sandra Bullock plays Lisa, the girlfriend of Danny who’s dad is caught up in some serious CIA stuff. Tune in...

What we expected from this movie - Sandra Bullock playing a boss babe detective. What we didn’t expect from this movie - baby Ryan Gosling playing a sociopath (…really well) 😅 Listen in this week as we rate and review Murder By Numbers, a 2002 thriller crime drama full of twists we really enjoyed!

Take a gypsy, chimpanzees, two nerdy friends, the Prince of England and a love potion and what do you get? Love Potion No. 9, a 1992 rom-com starring Sandra Bullock and Tate Donovan. We found this movie to be laugh-out-loud ridiculous if you’re in the right mood, but just plain ridiculous if you’re not. Tune into this episode to find out how this movie ranks against every Sandra Bullock movie! Mor...

Join us for what is perhaps our most contentious episode! We have very different opinions of the 2018 Netflix Original Bird Box starring Sandra Bullock and Trevante Rhodes. Anne thinks the plot leaves too much unexplained..too many unanswered questions! Ally thinks it’s easy to accept the unexplained and be moved by the tense storyline. We CAN agree on a few things including Sarah Paulson deserved...

Join us as we review the two animated films Sandra Bullock has starred in - The Prince of Egypt and Minions! The Prince of Egypt (1998) features Sandra Bullock as Miriam, the sister of Moses. We found her voice instantly recognizable, though we were disappointed she wasn't the one to sing in this musical rendition of the Old Testament Bible story. In Minions (2015), Sandra Bullock plays femin...

Join us as we discuss the 1998 movie Hope Floats starring Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr. alongside adorable child actors Mae Whitman and Cameron Finley. This dramatic rom-com, directed by Forest Whitaker, was the first film produced by Sandra Bullock's production company Fortis Films.  We found this movie to be a feel-good classic with just the right touch of humor! Plus, love hearing S...

Could we BE any more excited for this episode?! Join us as we discuss the long-awaited FRIENDS reunion! In season 1 we reviewed and ranked every Jennifer Aniston film, so we were so excited to revisit Jen and the rest of the FRIENDS cast as they took a trip down memory lane. Via Instagram Live, we discuss everything from the moment they walked back on set, the host, the fashion show, and of course...

This week we're reviewing the 1993 movie When The Party's Over, starring Sandra Bullock alongside Rae Dawn Chong and Fisher Stevens. While this film isn't our favorite, we found that it aged well with some of the heavy topics touched on as we follow a group of 20-somethings figuring out life in LA. Plus, there's plenty of 90s fashion and quirky moments that kept us entertained...

This week we are serving up a 3-for-1 episode featuring a very young (and sometimes hard to see on screen tbh) Sandra Bullock in: Who Shot Pat?, The Preppie Murder, and Me and the Mob (which we think is such an awk title... The Mob and Me is so much better!!) Trust us, we are saving you time, money, and sanity by wrapping these 3 less-than-entertaining movies into one very entertaining episode for...

This week we are reviewing the iconic 2006 film  The Lake House.  Was this the post-Speed Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock reunion everyone was waiting for? No, but they sure did try. Join us as we discuss the reality of a magic mailbox situation, make Netflix a proposition on a great AirBnB opportunity, and spend pretty much the entire episode defending Keanu's character and questioning every...

Join us as we review the 1995 action thriller The Net starring Sandra Bullock and Jeremy Northam.  In this film, programmer Angela Bennett (played by Sandy) accidentally gets caught in a cyberterrorism plot and has to fight for her life and the truth. We hadn't heard of this movie, but we were pumped to find a fun 90's action movie with an action-packed plot we could follow. Lots of grea...

Come on down to Nashville, y’all! This week we are reviewing the 1993 “romantic drama”,  The Thing Called Love. We were so pumped reading the country music synopsis from this movie, but were ultimately disappointed with a plot that just didn't quite deliver. Regardless, Sandra shines in her supporting role and, in our opinion, steals the show with her personality, strong acting, and southern...

Join us as we discuss the 1996 film In Love and War starring Sandra Bullock as Agnes Von Kurowsky and Chris O'Donnell as Ernest Hemingway. The film follows their whirlwind romance during WW1 in Italy. This film came as a pleasant surprise, since we hadn't previously heard of it. We especially loved seeing Sandra Bullock in a demure, calm role that's different from the more quirky ch...

It's a big week for Girl Crush Podcast! This week, we're reviewing the ICONIC 2000 film Miss Congeniality starring Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt, and Michael Caine.

This stop in season 2 brings us to the 2004 film Crash. Join us as we discuss the Oscar-winning movie that follows an intertwined web of characters dealing with heavy topics of race, class, gender, and police brutality.  Listen as we review the stellar acting by this star-studded cast featuring Sandra Bullock, Brendan Fraser, Don Cheadle, Jennifer Esposito, Michael Pena, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newto...

In this episode we review the 2005 film Loverboy starring Kyra Sedgwick and Dominic Scott Kay with Sandra Bullock playing a small side part.  This movie is...an odd one...with Sandra Bullock playing a questionable role. We were rooting for her so hard and then we were not 😅. IYKYK, and if you want to find out - check out this episode for our full review & to find out how this movie stacks up...

Join us as we review the film Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. This tearjerker shows the ups and downs of familial relationships after tragedy. Despite having such a sad theme and subject matter, we loved the plot & felt like the end left us feeling very hopeful! In this episode we discuss the amazing acting skills of Sandra Bullock, the ever lovable Tom Hanks, and young Thomas Horn. Tun...

After facing numerous natural disasters and travel mishaps, Sarah & Ben must confront both their separate romantic relationships as well as their newfound connection. While this movie has unreali...

Join us as we review the 1993 film Demolition Man starring Sandra Bullock alongside Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. From cryo-prisons, swear-fines, and 90s nostalgia to swanky Taco Bells, VR love scenes, and a pseudo-utopia, this movie has it all. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised by this movie that neither of us had seen! The action kept us intrigued & the 90s dialogue & jokes...

Join us as we discuss the 2002 drama Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood starring Sandra Bullock! This is a deep film with a strong female cast. Heavy themes of family drama, strained relationships, and conflict are relieved by the occasional hilarious one-liner from Dame Maggie Smith.  While we dive into heavy topics, we also get into some fun topics such as: NOLA brass band parades, where to...
