The Reel Roulette

This week, we’re doing what Ryan Gosling would absolutely side-eye us for: drafting his best movies! After a quick warm-up about how one man can be both a sensitive indie king and a meme-able heartthrob, we're fighting over prestige picks like La La Land and The Notebook and arguing whether comedy Gosling clears sad Gosling. Chaos escalates, wild cards get Drive -by drafted, and someone defin...

In this delightfully messy episode, we dive head-first into the wild world of wedding wreckage movies —the ones filled with cake collapses, runaway brides, dramatic in-laws, and at least one animal that absolutely should not be at a formal event. From the most unhinged families, the least prepared bridal parties, the most aggressively doomed venues, and the plot twists that make you yell, “CALL OF...

This week, we’re drafting the best revenge movies and yes—we get a little too enthusiastic about cinematic payback. Lines are drawn, grudges resurface, and someone definitely exposes what they’d do if they ever got double-crossed (yikes). We’re talking petty, explosive, stylish vengeance… and we’re way too proud of our picks. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, it’s downright spicy—and we wouldn’t have it a...

Will Shrek make the c...

Expect passionate debates, petty...

This week we land on black 31, Liz's choice and she wanted to have the upper hand in one of our mutual favorite categories, sports movies! Let’s be real, this one hurts, because we both love a good underdog story, a motivational locker room speech, and that slow-motion final play that makes you cry every single time. Drafting our favorites feels less like friendly competition and more like tr...

Will our choices make you feel like you’re flying (cue the handprint on the glass...

The tans are fake, the sweat is real, and the competition is hotter than a car seat in...

From iconic classics that made us believe in the power of dance (and tank tops), to unders...
