I'm Impressed There Was Only One Murder (Movie Recap, Cruel Intentions)

On the heels of TTPD's release we needed to feel... Well, tortured. Emotionally mangled. Cruel manipulation. Some less than honorable intentions if you will. And this movie delivered from the joyless, unsupervised teenagers, all the way to the vehicular manslaughter and a surprise funeral revenge plot? Yes, please. This recap is almost as wild as the subject material. 

Child Sacrifice To Whom? (Movie Recap, Awake)

We recap for you, this unintentional comedic masterpiece, starring Gina Rodriguez and Ariana Greenblatt. We watch them as they face the struggles of sleep deprivation, including but not limited to; looting, widespread vandalism, cognitive decline, irritability, one creepy pastor, grand theft auto, murder, the US Military, teenage boy attitude and potential human sacrifice. Did we mention this was just after day one? Also, why was no one else concerned about the power? We'll never know. 

Purely Delightful Feminine Rage (Movie Recap, Damsel)

We will never forgive TikTok for delaying our watching of "Damsel," the 2024 dark fantasy starring the phenomenal Millie Bobby Brown. This movie is all about feminine rage and revenge, so buckle up girly pop, we are diving into a deep pit to settle some old royal family debts. Not willingly, of course. That's where the rage part comes in. Join us for our hilarious recap of the young maiden who refused to die a virgin.

The D Always Finds A Way (Movie Recap, Upgraded)

When an ambitious young woman tells a little white lie on a plane to impress the hot British guy beside her, she has no idea how far she will have to take it. After all, doesn't she know the first rule of a rom-com? The stranger sitting beside you on a plane is someone who you will FOR SURE have to deal with for the rest of your life.

On our search for a modern Rom-Com that ticks all our boxes brought us to the 2024 romantic comedy Upgraded, staring Camila Mendes, Archie Renaux, and our queen Marisa Tommie (who should be wearing a cape and eating men). Did this rom-com do it for us? You'll have to tune in to find out. But I'll give you a spoiler: we had a blast recapping it and laughed our little heads off. 

 

Let's Ruin A Wedding (Movie Recap, Anyone But You)

Rose was dying to watch Anyone But You for the podcast. A rom-com enemies to lovers feature two hot actors? This was right up our alley.

Hilarity ensues. Hope you enjoy!

Men Should Prob Fear Women More (Movie Recap, You Get Me)

This episode we recap the wacky thriller You Get Me staring Bella Thorne and a grown man trying to pass for a teenage boy. When young guy finds the perfect window during his 24hr break up from his girlfriend to hook up with another girl, he gets what he deserves--an obsessed stalker who infiltrates his life, seduces his friends, and takes out anyone in the way. We aren't sure what the game plan is here, but it's pure girlboss energy, to be honest with you. This movie is so bad it's good. Don't miss our hilarious and unserious recap/discussion of this movie. You know what to expect: great storytelling (if we do say so ourselves), hilarious banter, two best friends vibing. What are you waiting for?

Low-Key Sociopath Vibes (Movie Recap, Players)

This week we bring you a the 2024 Netflix original Players staring Gina Rodriguez and Damon Wayans Jr. We follow a group of friends who specialize in running small cons to trick unsuspecting strangers into sleeping with them. They find their match in a prestigious reporter who is the kind of man you freeze your eggs for. This is the first time that they are playing for keeps and they are committed to help their fellow group member land this guy. Are these people sociopaths? Maybe. But do they deserve love? We don't think so. Still, join in for our hilarious recap and movie discussion. Unserious, humorous, fun banter. Just two best friends being generally unhinged, you'll love it.

It's Just Body Spray, But Okay (Movie Recap, Twilight)

We present to you, our magnum opus. Our work of art. What this podcast has been building to. The culmination of almost three years of honing our wit and banter, our ability to balance unserious with dark confessionals. We are here recapping your all time favorite movie, don't even lie, we know it's Twilight.

Aren't You A Little Ashamed? (Movie Recap, Crossroads)

Buckle up, besties. We're going on a roadtrip down memory lane. This week we recap the 2002 movie Crossroads, staring Zoe Saldana, Terry Manning, and OFCOURSE Britney Spears. There's magic to these early 2000s movies that we wish we could bubble it up, wether it be reminiscing on the trauma that era imposed on us, or losing your V card to a felon...it's all fun and games until Dad flies in looking for you. Don't miss this hilarious recap of this coming of age story slash Britney Spears concert.

Fine, I'll Join Your Cult (Movie Recap, The Circle)

What if a nefarious tech company were ran by a charismatic and better looking version of Mark Zuckerberg (Tom Hanks). Terrifying, we know. But do you know what’s scarier than THAT? A cult that...actually makes a lot of good points. 
In this episode we recap The Circle, a 2017 thriller (we object to that classification, but okay), staring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks. How does an overly ambitious tech company get away with a sweeping ploy to surveil and monitor and influence the masses without consequences? Well, they offer free health care and endless food trucks, of course. Millennials come lining up, volunteering as tribute. The Circle may appear to be your regular smegular social media platform, but are they actually just a cult with really great benefits?

Tune in to our hilarious and refreshing recap.
