It’s Pauline’s pick this week, and she has chosen the 1998 adaptation of Les Miserables, starring Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman, and Claire Danes. A dramatic period piece that the sisters were completely captivated by as preteens. Are they still captivated as adults?

Pauline’s movie this week is one Lisa is not expecting at all. Surprisingly, despite a stacked cast, this film didn’t seem to make a big splash at the box office. But our family discovered it and it’s been rewatched many a time. Listen now to find out what it is!

This week's pick by Lisa is honestly one of our most-quoted movies from childhood. 1996's "That Thing You Do", the directorial debut of Tom Hanks, co-starring in this film with Liv Tyler, Steve Zahn, Giovani Ribisi, Ethan Embri, and a very young, fresh-faced Charlize Theron. This film, set in the 1960's follows the rise of The Wonders, and Eerie, PA band with a catchy tune that shoots a group of y...

Thank you for your patience listeners! Pauline and Lisa have finally sorted through their tech troubles and here, as promised, is their elusive Triviasode. Is it worth the delay? We think so. Does Pauline struggle to figure out the movie? At first. Listen to find out which Brunnen favourite Lisa has picked for this week!

Well. It’s here! The episode where the sisters discuss a movie that had mixed reviews from them as children. A film Lisa adored, but also a film that bored Pauline to no end. Fantasia!! This episode operates a little differently than previous episodes. Listen to our breakdown of this 1940’s animated classic to find out if we still hold true to our childhood opinions.

The sisters are back! Yay! And to celebrate their return, Pauline introduces a new game element to this week’s Triviasode. How does Lisa fare with it? And what unexpected movie has Pauline chosen? Listen and find out!

Lisa picked the slice of Americana film, The Sandlot. One summer in the life of nine boys in 1950s America. Baseball is life. Smalls hasn’t had a s’more before. The Beast is over the fence, keeping the lost balls from the baseball diamond. Wendy Peffercorn is the pool lifeguard. And Smalls had to learn the hard way who Babe Ruth is. Listen to find out if this 90’s film holds up!

It’s another Triviasode! Yay! And once again it’s Lisa’s turn to pick. Her only guarantee is that this week’s mystery film is (most likely) better than “All Dogs Go to Heaven” and “Annie”. High praise indeed. How long until Pauline figures out Lisa’s film?

For the first time ever, Clint Eastwood makes an appearance on the podcast! And man, is it for a highly inappropriate movie for children. This week the sisters talk about “In the Line of Fire” and all that they misunderstood about this 90’s thriller. How does it fare now that they’re adults? Listen and find out!

Pauline’s pick this week is not age-appropriate from their childhood (as you may have gathered from the episode title), but it’s one the two of us thoroughly enjoyed, nonetheless. Did they understand it? Who can say. Does it hold up? We won’t know until Tuesday. But listen now to find out what we’re watching this weekend!

Woof. This week Pauline and Lisa talk about the 1989 animated film, “All Dogs Go to Heaven”. Another dark film from Don Bluth that has a LOT of age inappropriate content. The sisters adored this movie when they were little and quote it to this day. How do they feel about it now as adults? Is it still beloved? And were their takeaways at all accurate?

It’s Lisa’s turn to pick the film this week and boy has she chosen a childhood favourite. Despite being a rather dark children’s film, this is one Pauline and Lisa loved to rewatch and quote all the time. Is it one of your faves too?

This week the sisters have re-watched one of their family’s all-time favourite comedies, 1991’s “Father of the Bride” starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Diane Keaton. This comedy was frequently chosen for family movie night and is quoted by the whole Brunnen clan. But how do Pauline and Lisa feel about it now? And will Lisa’s second-hand embarrassment get in the way of the film?

Pauline picked one that the entire Brunnen clan watched on the regular. A tonne of great actors in this one, along with a crap-tonne of quotes for sure. This is a 90’s beauty that the sisters remember very fondly. What are we watching?? Listen to find out!
