The Reel Roulette

Buckle up, because this week we’re diving deep into the mind-bending world of psychological thrillers, where nothing is as it seems and everyone is a suspect. This episode is all about the movies that twist your brain into knots and leave you questioning what’s real, what’s imagined, and whether you can trust the person sitting next to you. Will your favorite make the twisty ride?  But, before we...

In this episode we dive into the cinematic world of bad guys—specifically, our favorite villains across all genres! From twisted masterminds to straight blood killers, we’ll debate who truly deserves the throne as the most memorable, complex, and terrifying villain of all time.  But, before we dive in, we must address the loser from the SNL week. However, we landed in a tie, so we spent some time...

Welcome back to season 2, folks! We’ve survived the holiday chaos and now we’re officially ready to dive back into the movie madness. First up in the new year: we’re kickin’ it with the funniest folks around—movies starring SNL cast members! Let’s just say the fight for the number one spot was a mean (and slightly tearful) showdown, but the real question is: where did we go from there? Do your fav...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  We’re back after Thanksgiving break and the wheel sure did land on something we can all indulge in during the Holidays; guilty pleasures! When we put this category on the wheel we thought we were being fun, but turns out defining "guilty pleasure" is harder than passing up seconds at Thanksgiving dinner. So, buckle up as we stumble through the...

This week, the wheel had a mind of its own and spun right into green 0 for the second time in a row. It was so quick, we didn’t even have time to brainstorm a new category! As fate would have it, Liz’s brother is tying the knot this week, and we had joked about doing a wedding movie theme. So, when the wheel landed on the one number we didn’t have a category for, we took it as a sign. Wedding movi...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week the wheel knew we needed some laughter and silliness and boy, did it deliver! Enter the genre of slapstick comedies—where the falls are hard, the laughs are cheap, and no one’s dignity is safe. With so many classics to choose from, we’re definitely leaving some gems on the table. But the real question is, which list will get you chuckling (or...

With the spookiest day of the year upon us, we decided not to test the fate of spinning the wheel and instead just gab about our favorite Halloween movies. No list, no drafts, just a glimpse into our normal bar talk off mic. One of us clearly leans a little more family friendly, while the other thrives off the jump scares.  Can you guess who is who?!  Next week we will be back to our regularly sch...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week, the wheel worked its magic again, landing on black 31—Liz’s favorite number. And with Betsy scoring her fave a few weeks back, it’s only fair the roulette gods smiled on Liz this time. So, what’s the category, you ask? Well, Liz got full control, and she served up the food/chef category. But will this be a gourmet feast for your ears or a fas...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week we landed on one of the true acting legends, the one and only Jack Nicholson. But, let’s be real—this category is as ruthless as “all work and no play,” and things got a little cut-throat . Some favorites were stolen, others were tragically overlooked, and a few big hitters didn’t even make the shortlist. But the burning question is: did your...

Get ready to belt it out, diva! This week, we’ve strutted into the magical world of musicals! It's like you’re having a revenge day, but with a twist—every time you sing, the universe just clicks into place. But, will our fave songbirds hit the high notes and serve up your wildest desires? Stay tuned, darling, to find out!  But hold up, before we dive into the banger of the week, we have to t...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week, we sidestepped right into the spotlight with sidekicks! You know, the trusty companions who make the main hero look good, while doing most of the heavy lifting themselves. According to the dictionary, a sidekick is “a person's assistant or close associate, especially one who has less authority than that person,” or “a close friend or fol...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week, we hit the jackpot with the best number in existence (according to one of us), 15! Now, for the uninitiated, Betsy’s magic number is 15, while Liz swears by 31. And as luck—or maybe a mischievous fate—would have it, this meant Betsy could pick any category her heart desired, on the board or not. Early jokes pointed to a lineup of possession m...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.** This week the roulette wheel of fate has landed us smack dab in the middle of the bloody, wonderful, trope-filled universe, slashers! It's a genre close to Betsy's heart—she's practically the final girl of horror fandom. But with Scream off the table, what killer picks will make the cut? Prepare yourselves for some deep cuts, literally!&qu...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week we landed in the wonderful world of imagination and creation, the one and only animation! We struggled quite a bit with the broadness of the genre and in hindsight maybe we should have made it a bit more specific. Non the less we’re here for the challenge so please come along to see if your favorites make this list!  But before we dive in, we...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week, we hit the jackpot with the category that just won't quit—the sequel/franchise round! After doing a double take on what was up for grabs, it turned out the possibilities were endless! But, will your favorite make the cut? Stay tuned to find out! Before we dive in, we need to address the punishment for last week's loser. This week’s...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week, the wheel has spoken, and we’ve landed on our first actor: the one, the only, Denzel Washington! From drama to sports drama to… you guessed it, more drama—but does your favorite Denzel flick make the cut, or are you about to be seriously disappointed? Tune in and let the showdown begin! But, before we dive in, we must address the punishment f...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week we landed on one of the greatest directors in all of the lands and parks; Steven Spielberg. With two of his (arguably) best films, Jaws and Jurassic park ineligible for this week, we had to dig deep and fly high for our top 5 picks.  But, before we dive in, we must address the punishment for last week's loser. However, this week we landed...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  **Important disclaimer** We had some audio issues at the start of this episode, so it doesn’t sound super crisp and clear and we apologize to your ears for the inconvenience. But not to worry, this week's draft, starting around minute 22, sounds much better. Thanks in advance for your understanding and we hope you still enjoy!    This week's c...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**     This week's category takes us on the journey of the joys and hardships of growing up, aka, coming of age! Everyday is a winding road, as some may say and this week was pretty tough to narrow the scope to five films each. But, before we dive in, we must address the punishment for last week's loser. The chosen movie is a Christmas joy for som...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category revealed below.**  This week's category is all about making the most your time, since we landed on movies that take place in a day, (aka 24 hours). But, before we dive in, we must address the punishment for last week's loser. The movie selected to watch is one of technological nightmares, Hackers. And, wow, it was indeed quite the punishment for the loser. That...

**SPOILER ALERT: Category reveled below.** This week we got the category everybody wants and dreams about, vacations ! But, the question is, do we pick your favorite destination?

However, one of us defiently struggled more than the other. Can you guess who? Come along with us and make up your own mind. If you want to skip straight to the draft, it starts around minute 11.  “I’m funny h...

Welcome to our debut episode! We’re kicking things off with a bang as the roulette wheel lands on black 28, bringing us to the world of Romcoms.
