Two Girl Cinema Club

This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, Broadway comes to our living rooms as we explore some popular musicals. Before we dive into those, we discuss our thoughts on 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Since it was a long weekend, we were both able to catch a matinee showing of The Bone Temple, and we were left wondering exactly where the final film in the trilogy is going t...

In this episode of Two Girl Cinema Club, we take a trip to the Westcoast! The films we cover this week showcase Los Angeles and prove why filmmakers are inspired by the city again and again. Before we dive into the City of Angeles, we touch on some highlights from the Golden Globes, some industry news, and two extra movies we watched this week: If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Oh, Hi! We Love LA! To...

It’s Timothée Chalamet Week in honor of Marty Supreme and the awards race. The Critics Choice Awards happened last week, so we briefly touched on some of the surprise wins, including Timmy for Best Actor. We also discussed some of the other films we caught up with over the week. Ailish watched the Netflix documentary, The Perfect Neighbor, and Hannah watched Challengers, Uncut Gems, and Bad Guys....

We’re back after a holiday break for the last part of Harry Potter Holiday! We meant to break this into two parts, but we both were plagued by sickness for a bit longer than we anticipated. In this episode, we also cover Christmas Evil, HIM, and Hannah drops some news on an unexpected collab between M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks. We also watched Four Christmases to round out the season si...

We’re back after a holiday break for a New Year’s Day episode! As planned, we went to see Marty Supreme as soon as we could after Christmas Day. We both loved this movie and were so glad that it held up to the hype. Timothée Chalamet was so convincing as Marty Mauser that we completely believed we were watching the story of a man named Marty instead of Timmy playing a role. This was something you...

This week, we watched the third and fourth movies in the Harry Potter series to continue with Harry Potter Holidays. We also caught up with a couple other Christmas classics and some other films that have been on our watchlists. Hannah watched some holiday horrors in Terrifier 3 and the 1974 Black Christmas. She also watched Eyes Wide Shut which falls into the Christmas category loosely. Ailish wa...

We’re kicking off the holiday season with a Harry Potter marathon! These are books and movies we grew up with, and they always are staples around Christmastime. We also talk a little bit about the Golden Globe nominations, the Warner/Netflix/Paramount deal, the new Zendaya and Robert Pattinson movie “The Drama”, and Hannah’s rewatch of Silver Linings Playbook. Luckily, Hamnet came to a theater nea...

This week kicks off our holiday episodes! Of course we had to add the first four episodes of Stranger Things in there as well since they dropped last week, and we caught up on some other films we logged on Letterboxd. Ailish was able to watch After the Hunt, we continued our conversation from last week when Hannah watched it. It really is easier to discuss this film after you’ve seen it since ther...

In our final week of Naughty November, we explore Erotic Desires. To start, we talk about some films we watched in the past week. Hannah saw Wicked: For Good. After the Hunt, and Materialists, and Ailish watched Train Dreams. We also discussed some recent trailers that were released and what they made us think of some upcoming releases.  Erotic Desires week ended up falling a little bit flat...

It’s week two of our Naughty November and the theme is Lovers for Hire! Before we review the four films, Hannah shares her thoughts on Warfare, Hell of a Summer, and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum. Ailish started watching Monster: The Ed Gein Story and plans to give another update when she finishes the series, and we both discuss the Marty Supreme marketing plan. Our films under the Lovers for Hire theme...

*SPOILERS INCLUDED*  This week’s Theater Thursday covers three films we saw at the Chicago International Film Festival. Now that these movies are getting released, we can give more of our thoughts on them and do proper reviews. Spoilers are ahead, so be sure to watch these before listening to this episode!  Rental Family didn’t pack a huge punch for us, but it was a heartwarming film tha...

This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, we begin Naughty November with some films about age gap relationships that cross the line. Before we get into the films, we talk some industry news. Last week, it was announced that Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone will be making a Miss Piggy movie with Cole Escola writing the script. There are so few details about this that we’re not really sure what to think or...

In this week’s episode of Theater Thursday, we review Die My Love and Frankenstein. If you listened to our previous episodes, you’ll know we saw Frankenstein during our time at the Chicago International Film Festival in October. We were really excited to give this one a second watch and be able to fully review the film! While there seems to be some criticism of this film as a whole, we feel much o...

This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, we celebrate the incomparable, Meryl Streep. Watching these films from throughout her career really showcases her range and confirms that she is an actor that only comes around every now and again. Before we dive into our movie reviews, Ailish has some industry news to share, and Hannah gives her thoughts on I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) and Sorry, Baby....

This week wraps up our Chicago International Film Festival coverage! We watched all the short films featured in the After Dark category, and discussed our interaction with the people who made PINPOINT come to life. There were six short films in the After Dark category that all focused on different elements of the horror genre. PINPOINT was our favorite and we were able to meet the director, Michae...

We’re wrapping up Spooky Season with some fun, campy films. Before we dig into those, we discuss the upcoming Robert Egger’s film, Werwulf, which is rumored to star Willem Dafoe, Lily-Rose Depp, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Hannah also did a double feature of The Wizard of Oz and Wicked, and caught the original Creature from the Black Lagoon. Maybe it’s a generational thing, but when it comes to R.L....

In this Theater Thursday, we’re reviewing a couple more movies we were able to watch from the Chicago International Film Festival. We would have loved to have watched a few more, but our week, unfortunately, didn’t allow for it. Luckily, we were able to watch a few that are up for international consideration for the Oscars in March. Adult Children was filmed and set in Chicago, so it was really fu...

We’re nearing the end of Spooky Season, so we decided to take a trip down memory lane and check out some Disney Channel Original Halloween Movies. Before we discuss those, we touch on our trip to Chicago for the International Film Festival. If you’re curious how the weekend went and what movies we saw, be sure to check out here . If you were born in the late 80s or 90s, you’ll love the nostalgia o...

We’re fresh from the Chicago International Film Festival where we were able to see nine films in 2 ½ days! This was our first film festival and we were so thankful to be approved as press which allowed us to really make the most of our time. In this episode, we talk generally about all the films we saw and we plan to have some longer episodes reviewing some of the major films once the embargo is u...

Week three of Spooky Season focuses on Women in Horror! We know there are other horror films directed by women that we would have liked to add to this list (hello The Substance!), but they unfortunately were not on streaming at the time of our watch schedule. This week, we sadly lost one of the greats of our time, Diane Keaton. Her passing came as quite the shock and it seems fitting that we’re ce...

*SPOILERS INCLUDED* Our first episode of Theater Thursday covers One Battle After Another. We were finally able to watch this highly anticipated film and really break down our thoughts and the film as a whole. This was our first time seeing the film and commenting on it, and we both hope to rewatch it soon. If you have the opportunity to see this in theaters, we highly recommend you do so! Don’t w...

The second week of Spooky Season is here and we’re focusing on 1970s Horror Films! Before we dive into those, we recap our trip to Universal Studios where we visited Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios, and Islands of Adventure. If you haven’t been to HHN this year, we give a pretty good review of the houses we were able to go through without an Express Pass. When we go in the future, that’...

This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, we start our Spooky Season themes! We have five weeks in October and we’re filling every week with Halloween-themed films. Before we start discussing the films of the week, Hannah introduces something new that we’ll be introducing to the podcast in a month or so. Trailer Tuesdays will be coming soon and we preview it here! Let us know what you think about this be...

Congratulations are in order to start this podcast as the news was released that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed a baby girl. That gives them three under three! We also had a very special announcement to share about the podcast. We’ll be attending the Chicago International Film Festival in October and we’re thrilled to watch some of the year’s most anticipated films! Hannah also shared that she re...

This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, we watch films that focus on addiction. Before we jump into our recaps, we share our thoughts on The Long Walk. We watched this with a decent amount of other viewers in the theater with us, but we didn’t get the reactive crowd we were hoping for. If you’ve seen the movie, you know it takes a lot out of you emotionally, and it really felt like the breath was taken...
