An icon of non-monogamous representation, John Tucker is the guy every straight girl yearns to date… despite the fact that he seems concretely gay?

A massive family utterly derailed by one man’s dedication to football, “Cheaper by the Dozen” is a fever dream including a ton of white children, a barely-there yet somehow glamorous Hilary Duff, and a lot of unmitigated parental horniness.  Watch the video version of this episode here!

Oh, to be a GBF in 2013… a deeply unsavory task, according to this movie.

In this Christian-flavored coming-of-age story, Terri (Hilary Duff) has a voice that guarantees a highly successful life in the musical spotlight… or at least we’re supposed to believe that.

Introducing an entire generation to the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the romanticization of their own suffering, “Perks” shows us that you can be hot, intelligent, and interesting and somehow still live on “the island of misfit toys.” A hugely meaningful movie to many, we try to tread lightly.  Watch the video version of this episode here!

It turns out that all we need to unite our vicious two-party political system is gay dogs on both sides of the aisle.
