Before seeing Challengers we knew three things about it: tennis, throuple, Zendaya. After leaving challengers we know three things about it: tennis, throuple, Zendaya.  Seriously though, Challengers is a master class in cinema, from the narrative structure to the cinematography, and absolutely all the snaps for the acting because wow that was hot AND made us enjoy tennis. We not only cover all our...

We're closing out season 2 of the Suite Life of Zack & Cody with three of our least favorite episodes of the entire series: Nugget of History, Health and Fitness, and Back in the Game.

Tina Fey changed pop culture as we know it with Mean Girls in 2004, but how does the 2024 musical movie compare?

Carrying on the holiday content with Kwanzaa (but still Christmas), we're discussing the 2022 Hallmark movie, Holiday Heritage. And we thought what better way to cover it than with romance novel and Hallmark movie expert, Alison from We Read It One Night? HH centers on three generations of women: Ella, the young graphic designer; Micah, her mom who works at the family bakery; and Tess, the re...

We're celebrating the holidays this year starting with Hanukkah as we watch (for the first time) and dissect An American Tail, a Don Bluth & Steven Spielberg collaboration about a little Jewish mouse lost in the big apple that ironically brought the house of mouse back into a renaissance, even though the film itself was made in opposition to Disney...strap in because this one has a bit of...

We're rewatching a modern classic for millennials/gen z that's got everything: great music, smart writing, a stacked cast, and a bad American accent. Also everything bad, so here's a TW for pretty much anything that could be triggering.
