Is All Mob Money Bad? (Movie Recap, American Hustle)

The American Hustle recap is a wild ride. Con men, check. Con WOMEN, check. The Mafia, check. The FBI, check. Jeremy Renner, doing everything perfectly, check. We're not saying we should let the Mafia run the government, but if they wanna build sidewalks and create jobs... maybe let them? Starring Bradly Cooper (with curly, dark hair that just does something to Rose), Christian Bale (sans the chiseled thighs), Amy Adams (sans Princess dress), Jennifer Lawrence (who, in this movie Rose and Courtney have diagnosed- we're not doctors, but we've seen Grey's Anatomy and go to therapy) and Jeremy Renner. 

Who's Cleaning This Up? (Movie Recap, American Psycho)

Was it real? Psycho Path or Delusions of Grandeur? Both? This weeks recap takes on the 2000 thriller, American Psycho, starring Christian Bale, William Dafoe and Reese Whiterspoon. After traumatizing ourselves with the weirdest episode of Criminal Minds ever, we're left with the question of: Who is cleaning up this mess? A man? I think not. 

That's Not A Tip (Movie Recap, It Can Happen To You)

In this recap we deep dive into the based on a true story events of It Could Happen to You, Starring Nicholas Cage and Rosie Perez. 

Movie wife is made to be a villain, but her husband DID give away half their lottery earnings to waitress he just met. However movie wife IS kind of a gold digger. But Cop Cage DID get their anniversary wrong... So... Justified?

Boss Daddy Is Your New Daddy (Movie Recap, A Family Affair)

I get it, you wanna be a cool mom. But when your daughter starts trying to twat swat Zac Efron away just because he's her boss, maybe lay down the law. Like knocking, for starters. This recap Courtney and Rose discuss the chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron and...Joey King, the unwelcome interloper to their romance. 

Totally Team Joyce (Movie Recap, Little Black Book)

Imagine having your man's entire dating history at your finger tip- PRE SOCIAL MEDIA. That's God tier, my friend. And with great power, comes great responsibility. Stacy (Brittney Murphy), doesn't have any of that. She gets that power of his Palm Pilot and girl bosses directly into the sun. Stacy abuses her position at work (slay) and dives head first into BF's dating history and lands in the pile of trash that is Derek (Ron Livingston). However, we support women's rights and women's wrongs in our recaps. 

Chaotic Neutral Aesthetic (Movie Recap, Beetlejuice)

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejui- shut up. Don't say it girly. Yeah, he's kinda hot in that dirty way, but he's gonna ruin your life. He's gonna try to kill your dad and force you into marriage. Does it sound like a dark romance plot? A little. But trust us, we're But Scientist and can tell you that with 100% certainty, Emo Michael Keaton isn't worth it. Stick with the adorable weirdo (Alec Baldwin) and his tiny town replica. But, like, still keep an eye on that. If this recap teaches you anything, it should be that even the quiet ones can be crazy ones. 

Mafia Ken is a Trash Man, (Movie Recap, Hit man)

The many personalities of Glen Powell shine here. He cosplays every intrusive thought he ever had. But Mafia Ken...or Ron? That's our favorite one. It's everyone's favorite. Mafia Ken is mother trucking vibe. A VIBE. Our discussion about Mafia Ken is ALSO a vibe, because we can't be trusted. 

Awards, All of Them (Movie Recap, Mr. & Mrs. Smith)

This movie didn't have to go this hard. But it did. And it did that for US. We can't get over how we, as a collective society, just got over Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie searching each other for weapons while dancing... IN PUBLIC. People got to see that for free. Nay, people were PAID to watch this happen. There had to of been more than one take. They got see it over and over again. This movie was a gift and we took it for granted. Our recap of Mr. & Mrs. Smith pays homage to this A+ we never deserved. 

He's Perfect, No Questions (Movie Recap, 13 Going on 30)

The recap this is thirty, flirty and fabulous. It only works with thirty. And Mark Ruffalo. And Jennifer Garner. Sprinkle some magic pixie dust (glitter, it's just glitter) and time travel with us.
