Yes, Another Teen Movie

Vampires and werewolves and Kristen Stewart, oh my! We're back, and this week's episode is coming to you live from FORKS, WA. Just kidding, but when the pandemic's over we will be posting a Go Fund Me link to  get us over there for a live broadcast on Stephanie Meyer Day, and all the mushroom ravioli we can eat. Don't get the significance of the mushroom ravioli? That's OK...

How did we manage to make a 52 min long episode about a movie with hardly any plot? Go listen and find out! 

Happy 2021, guys, gals and non-binary pals! We're starting off the new year with - not quite a splash - more like a tepid ripple, with this absolute yawn-fest of a film that features Hilary Duff trying to catfish her mum using a picture of Mr Big - surely EVERY 2005 mum's biggest fantasy, right?! Cue Hilary learning to be vulnerable and Heather (Locklear, not our host) learning to be a h...

There are so many movies out there called "Crossroads" but we're obviously talking about the 2002 classic starring none other than BRITNEY, BITCH, Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning.  This movie scored high in the bingo segment and in our hearts because it's truly a delightful watch and it has  rekindled our love for Britney and her number one hit "I'm not a girl, not yet...

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants are back, and so are we! But how much has changed three years into the future? Lena's still shite at drawing, Tibby's still #edgy, Carmen's still downtrodden and Bridget's off somewhere out foreign again (you can tell by the music). Join us to cringe over some really bad Shakespeare puns (thanks, weedy English guy whose name I've alre...

If Shakespeare was still around, do you think he would listen to us discuss this adaptation of his famous gender bending play Twelfth Night? We sure hope he would because not only is She's The Man a classic, so is this podcast episode. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Welcome to our spooky Halloween special that's not really that spooky at all - Louise Miller, the Teen Witch in question, is pretty much the antithesis of terrifying Nancy from The Craft. She's just a nice girl in cosy sweaters who wants to make the captain of the football team fall in love with her. Who can relate?!  Bonus content: Heather raps.

We were  both so ready to hate this film and guess what: We love it!  (And not just because there's a hot Greek man in it) 

Did you, like Jemma, watch this movie when you were like 13 years old? Did you, too, fall deeply in love with Sebastian Valmont and believe that he was a sympathetic, 'troubled' character who was eventually redeemed by love? OR, did you, like Heather, sit down to watch this cult teen classic at the age of 28 and think... what the f*ck?! Featuring Grecian columns, big hats, famous snogs,...

Get ready to listen to us talk over an hour about The Kissing Booth 2 Ps. I Still Love Kissing. It's a miracle we managed to fit it one hour seeing as this movie is about a 1000 hours long... Also discussed in this episode: Molly Ringwald's baffling house wife stick in the rap house, hot British gals who wanna steal your boyfriend and Lee being a toxic boyfriend. ENJOY 

OK, we've found it: the  worst  teen movie on Netflix. Worse than SPF-18, you say? Worse than To All The Boys I've Loved Before 2: PS I Still Love Boys??? Yep, The Kissing Booth is a car crash. From the extremely cringey dialogue that makes it seem like the script was a collaboration between a 12 year old and a middle aged man, to the creepy, young Christian Grey-esque character of Noah...

Are you a fan of the singer Jojo (who isn't?) Emma Roberts, mermaids and dopey looking surfer dudes? THEN THIS IS FILM FOR YOU, MY FRIEND! Honestly, this 2006 teen beach flick is one of the most fun movies we've discussed and it includes a star performance from our girl Jojo, some great 2006 fashion, a doofus surfer hunk and a mean girl that is actually an absolute psychopath. Go listen...

WARNING: this podcast episode is automatic... it's systematic... it's hyyyyyyydromatic... Why, it's Grease Lightning! YES, we've finally tackled the most iconic teen movie that's not actually a teen movie, that stars exclusively middle-aged actors and where the concept of time is just not a thing. If you've ever caught yourself idly wondering 'I wonder what Heath...

We did it! We watched and discussed Clueless.  Go listen, you bunch of virgins who can't drive! 

Wow, we can't hardly wait until the memory of this extremely mediocre film is wiped from our brains forever. This movie is useful only as a vehicle for the succession of before-they-were-famous cameos this film offers up (oh hey, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Turk from Scrubs) - beyond that it's kind of a hot mess. WHY do the boring, entitled guys always get the girl they know nothing ab...

Listen to your two favourite halves (us of course) talk about this 2020 Netflix teen flick. It's the classic PreTenDinG YoU'Re SoMEone eLse movie trope with lots of pretentious dialogue, many discussions about love and of course: Yakult!  

Welcome back to our THIRTIETH EPISODE! To celebrate, we're reviewing a film that truly stands the test of time (other than its stereotyping of Asian 'voodoo' magic). Even though today is Tuesday, let's pretend it's Friday, because it's time to get FREAKY.  We've got a few questions for you: were you a Hilary or a Lindsay? And if you were JLC who would you want to...

This 2003 delightful movie has got all the ingredients to make a great watch: old skool Amanda Bynes (come back to us, Amanda!), Colin Firth, some evil posh English people, a very hot American boho mom and Heather's fave: the forgotten Oliver James! Make yourself a cup of tea, get comfy and enjoy us talking about this absolute gem of an early 00's teen movie. 

Buckle up Guys, gals & non-binary pals, it's time for the third and FINAL instalment of our High School Musical mini-series! Once again, we're back at East High for a musical within a musical. Are there insanely well choreographed dance sequences? Yes. Does Gabriella sing some entirely forgettable solos while walking around looking sad? Yes. Does Troy battle his demons through song?...

What time is it? SUMMERTIME! The gang is back for round 2 and the quality of film has noticeably dropped in this deranged sequel. 

What team?! WILDCATS!! What team?! WILDCATS!! In times of adversity it's natural to want to regress back to your childhood, so Heather and Jemma are doing exactly that in this episode and throwing it all the way back to September '06. Do you remember sitting down in front of the Disney Channel, along with 7 million other people, to watch a film that would become - let's be real - on...

We're back tackling an absolute John Hughes classic: Pretty in Pink!  It's got great 80's fashion, Molly Ringwald and an amazing soundtrack. It also has the most boring romantic interest, a very annoying quirky friend and a 35 year old woman who hangs around with highschool kids... 

PS I Love You 2? PS I Sill Love Boys? Hello Boys I Still Love You? Whatever this movie is called, we're here to talk about it. Is Lara Jean Covey still annoying as ever? Has Chris gone to more EDM concerts? Are Peter Kavinsky and John Ambrose the Edward and Jacob of Generation Z? Ugh, who cares (PS We Still Do.)

We waaant you to wants us! We neeeed you to need us! We're beeeeegging you to beg us! 

This week Jemma and Heather travel back in time to the '80's to crush on Patrick Dempsey in his first role. Expect bitchy cliques, big hair and suede outfits galore. Oh, and we solve a riddle that's plagued the podcast since Episode 8!
