Dysfunction Trickles Down (Movie Recap, Georgia Rule)

Welcome back to Fiction Fixation! This week we recap the 2006 film 'Georgia Rule.' With a 1 rating on Rotten Tomatoes and staring Lindsay Lohan, we expected a breezy watch. Boy were we wrong... and although the story gets heavy and awkward – the unexpected depth didn't dampen our penchant for dark humor. And laugh we do. Tune in for an episode that is equal parts hilarious, touching, and enlightening. 

Remember, in the world of Fiction Fixation, no story is safe from the hilarious scrutiny.

A Husband-In-Law and A Hot Mess Teacher (Movie Recap, One True Love)

Courtney loads her cynicism and sharp-wit tongue. THIS EPISODE IS AWESOME. Join us for a hilarious, insightful, and sometimes ridiculous recap of a story of TWO true loves--one who comes back from the dead. What IS love, anyway? And how do we know if it's going to last? These are deep questions we don't answer in this episode, but we do answer much more ridiculous questions you would never ask outloud.

Men Are Apparently Not Mind Readers (Movie Recap, The Break Up)

Join as we cosplay as couple therapists as we recap the 2006 movie The Break Up staring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. We delve into the messy, relatable, and sometimes cringe-worthy world of a couple going through a breakup. From the awkward dinner parties to the petty post-breakup shenanigans.

As the fictional couple therapists, we dissect the characters' choices and actions, while sprinkling in our own absurd but surprisingly insightful observations. Expect lots of laughter, ridiculous analogies, and a whole lot of fun as we navigate through the ups and downs of love gone awry.

So, whether you've seen the movie "The Break-Up" or not, this episode promises to entertain with its offbeat and comedic approach to dissecting relationships on the big screen.

It’s VeeOLa Not VioLA (Movie Recap, She’s The Man)

Get ready for this blast from the past. Courtney and Rose recap another nostalgic early 2000s movie, She's the Man staring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. While our recap is pretty amazing, you will have to sit through an hour of Courtney and Rose pronouncing the main characters name differently and never calling each other out for it. Regardless, early 2000 movies are our bread and butter so get ready for a hilarious episode.

It’s Giving...*Sociopath* (Movie Recap, Sweet Home Alabama)

Have you experienced the Mandela effect of thinking Sweet Home Alabama is a sugary-sweet love story? Courtney and Rose are here to set the record straight as they dissect the absurdity of a young woman with a sociopathic streak (blowing up cats with dynamite - seriously?!) who adopts a fake identity to tackle the brutal NYC fashion industry. 

As if that's not enough, she somehow manages to ensnare the mayor's son, all while keeping her already-married status a well-guarded secret. Who needs Jerry Springer when you have Sweet Home Alabama?

Tune in to hear Courtney and Rose's razor-sharp wit to questionable plot twist, every laughable decision, and every moment that makes you wonder if this is some sort of dark comedy gone wrong.

 

On My Mafia Shhhhh Again (Movie Recap, Enough)

It’s A Cruel Summer (Eras Tour Recap - Taylor Swift Concert Cincinnati Night 1)

Well this one is a first for us! We are dropping our first ever BONUS episode this week. And it's our recap of our Era's tour experience. Even though Rose saw Taylor at the Detroit tour date, there were so many unexpected moments, from the interactions between the people around us to the angry mob outside with signs. This recap was so fun to record and hopefully a blast to listen to.

Were you at the Cincinnati Night One show? Did you get one of our bracelets?

 

I Can Fix Him Syndrome (Movie Recap, Warm Bodies)
