HAPPY SPRINGERTON! What a time to be ALIVE, recapping Bridgerton with you all as we eagerly await Season 3! Get your tissues ready, because there will be plenty of Polin in the air! As usual, we struggle with brevity, so indulge us as we give you a little background info on Bridgerton, S1, compare it against the book, and make inappropriate jokes about the Regency era in between. Stick with us as...

Welcome back to the next installment of the Sis Flicks Podcast as we close out Women's History Month with this Greta Gerwig staple - Little Women, released in 2019, as a fresh 21st century take on Louisa May Alcott's classic coming-of-age novel. We bounce around between different topics, characters, and trains of thought as we try out a slightly new discussion format (LOOSE). Hopefully you...

Join us, again, as we wrap up (do we ever REALLY wrap up?) our final thoughts on the cinematic excellence that is Past Lives - and don't forget the "S" word - symbolism, symbolism, symbolism! Our high school English teachers would be... very confused by our choices. Thanks, Celine Song. My therapist will be in touch. Recorded, edited and produced by Nadhya and Paola. Intro song by Ne...

Happy International Women's Day and happy post-Oscars comedown! Please join us as we discuss (at length) one of our favorite female-led Best Picture contenders - 2023's Past Lives, directed and written by Celine Song in her directorial debut.

Wrap up Black History Month with a decidedly Jane Austen-esque twist - with your two favorite long-winded sisters as we discuss 2013's Belle, directed by Amma Asante and starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the titular role. We're back on our period piece bullshit, this time, with a historical fiction twist. Join us as we discuss the symbolism of historical portraiture within a story of identity, p...

One Day. Two People. Two Parts. Thank you for joining us again for the conclusion to our wonderfully long discussion on One Day, both movie and book, why we loved it so much and why we'll be keeping all forms of this book so close to our hearts. In Part 1 we left Dexter and Emma with their friendship effectively over. Join us as we chat about how they grow apart and then back together. Come fo...

Friends! Welcome to our first movie "recap" (we all know what this is) episode of 2024! We discuss Brown Sugar (2002), the nostalgia of 90's and 2000's hip-hop, and the beauty of Taye Diggs for... a very long time. But it's a one-parter, aren't you proud?! Join us as we cover Brown Sugar with the mainstream flowers it deserves and rarely gets, and as we make fun of the sh...

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS! Thank you for joining us as we embark on yet another jam-packed journey: Sis Flicks Hit Clips, 2024!

What did we think of the bath water scene in Saltbur...

Happy Holidays, pals! Thank you so much for tuning in to our last movie discussion of 2023. Listeners have spoken, and y'all spoke LOUDLY in favor of The Holiday (and for good reason)! This movie is everything you want a rom com to be - wholesome, funny, witty and full of heart. It could maybe use a little Adobo - but what's some good-natured critique between friends? Come swap your house...

Are you 2013 Hunger Games fan girlies even READY for the sheer nostalgia unleashed by another Francis Lawrence-directed dystopian epic?! Join us as we wade through our fondest Hunger Games fandom memories while examining the newest addition to the canon - the 10th annual games with our favorite red flag, Coriolanus Snow.

Happy Thanksgiving to all friends, new and old! As a demonstration of our gratitude for YOU, we're releasing Part 1 of our discussion of "When Harry Met Sally" just in time to play in the background, forgotten, as you frantically try to time out your Thanksgiving side dishes by the amount of time they'll need in the oven.

You voted? Amazing! Here's a little treat, just for you, you deserve it.

This is our Election Day gift to you, and watching this movie for "research" was a gift to us. Did we tal...

Enjoy this kooky crazy episode as two Latinas embrace Spooky Season through this Disney Halloween classic. Is this episode longer than the movie itself? Yes. But there's just too much Hocus and Pocus ! Laugh along with us as we call out all of the best bits of Hocus Pocus (1993) that aged like a fine glass of 30 year-old milk. Recorded, edited & produced by Nadhya & Paola. Intro song b...

Welcome back to our discussion of Practical Magic as it matures into its adolescence! If you're here for shady comments on 90's CGI, confusion on New England weather, and plowing through some plot holes with your favorite pair of Latina sisters, you're in the right place.

Join us as we bid farewell to this year's Spooky Season, with an emotional dissection of 1998's Practical Magic. We'll touch on the importance of sisterhood, gorgeous Victorian homes, the indelible passage of time, and the hotness of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Stay tuned for Part 2 (since not everyone can digest a 2 hour podcast in one sitting!) Recorded, edited & produced b...

"We can keep it short!" we said, lying. We just couldn't shut up about capitalism, 90's New York City, or the universal appeal of Tom Hanks - we needed a two-parter, and you aren't even getting the (hilarious) outtakes. Join us as we dive into one of Paola's most cherished rom-coms, Nora Ephron's classic, "You've Got Mail" starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan...

Live from the upside-down, please check out part 2 of our two-parter on You've Got Mail (1998), deliriously edited and hysterically uploaded. Ride along with us as we hurtle towards the totally unexpected conclusion of one of our most favorite rom-coms, that we didn't strategically record after Pride & Prejudice, no, not us, not at all. Recorded, edited & produced by Nadhya & P...

Your favorite sisters are back with episode 2 of our 2-parter on Pride & Prejudice (2005). Pick up where we left off on episode 1, as we rejoin Elizabeth Bennet and the #RegencyGang. We finally get through the entirety of the movie, while spending too long describing our favorite parts and directly quoting when we said we'd paraphrase. Maybe we curse less, maybe we don't, you'll ha...

Welcome to the first ever episode of Sis Flicks Podcast! Join hosts & sisters Nadhya and Paola as they take way too long to discuss Joe Wright's 2005 classic, Pride & Prejudice.
