Rice, Beans, and Scenes

This week on Rice, Beans and Scenes, we strapped in for Top Gun: Maverick in 4DX, and let’s just say, this viewing format understood the assignment. From aerial stunts to emotional flybys, this episode had speed, nostalgia, and just enough chair-shaking chaos to make us FEEL THE NEED, FOR SPEED. Maverick is back, and so are we.

This week on Rice, Beans, and Scenes, we revisit Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and dive into why this film is far more than a goofy disguise flick, unpacking its surprisingly tender take on divorce, fatherhood, and showing up for the people you love.

This week on Rice, Beans, and Scenes, Andrew (“Beans”) sinks his teeth into Interview with the Vampire—a guilty pleasure story for sure—while Sarah (“Rice”)… politely regrets ever pressing play. Then they cleanse the palate with The Monster Squad, an 80s creature-feature romp that brings out Beans’ nostalgia and Rice’s fun commentary. It’s fangs, friendship, and full Halloween energy as the duo ba...
