Mortal and Confusion (Movie Recap, The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones)

Fiction Fixation is now out every FRIDAY! End your week right~

We watched it so you don't have to--This week we recap the movie adaptation of The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones. Based on a 400 pg book, this movie squeezes everything thing it can't onto the screen, leaving poor Rose confused and by the end wishing she had a Time Machine to unlatch the whole damn thing. Hope you enjoy our hilarious recap!

Dark Humor Smorgasbord (Movie Recap, The Woman In The Window)

This week we recap the movie "The Woman in the Window" based on the bestselling novel by the same name. Listen, we are going to warn you up front that dark humor is our bread and butter and we are carb lushes. We turn this seriously effed-up psychological thriller into a comedy goldmine. Because if we can't laugh, we will cry. Buckle up for a world where curtains are not a thing and your therapist watches (and judges) your every move.  

May Be A Good Time To Panic (Movie Recap, Don’t Worry Darling)

Spooky season is here, because Courtney decided. This week, we dissect the eerie high-waisted horrors of the movie "Don't Worry Darling." We unravel the twisted threads of 1950s domestic "bliss" while diving into a rabbit hole of paranoia, right alongside Florence Pugh. Come for the mystery, stay for the sarcastic musings. Remember, normal is just a setting on the dryer.

The Derailled Hot Mess Express (Movie Recap, Girl On The Train)

Join us this week as we  navigate the twisty tracks of "The Girl on the Train." We'll spill the tea (or should we say 'martini'?) on Rachel's blurry memories, questionable neighborhood watch tactics, and the messiest commutes in cinematic history. Warning: This episode may induce sudden bursts of laughter and a strong desire to never look out of a train window again. Nosy passengers just don't make good detectives... or do they?

Bubbly In A Non-Dead Inside Way (Movie Recap, Legally Blonde)

Brace yourselves for a no-holds-barred recap of the millennial classic Legally Blonde. It's a film that holds up surprisingly well to our cold unforgiving eyes. We have a blast appreciating the audacity of a middle aged white man wrapped in a Reese Witherspoons facade. Elle Woods is the heroine we wish we could be. Whetaher you're a die-hard fan or revisiting the film, join us for a fun and laughter-filled recap that celebrates the charm of "Legally Blonde" in all its glory.

Mercury Is In Retrograde (So It’s Not Your Fault)

Zoloft Bros Are Not FDA Approved (Movie Recap, Love and Other Drugs)

Pop a chill pill and tune in to this week's episode of Fiction Fixation! We're diving headfirst into the pharma-fueled romantic whirlpool that is 'Love and Other Drugs'. Yes, despite our all too well known beef with Jake Gyllenhaal (T-Swift, we got your back girl!) we are one of his early 2000s movies. It's a good one, full of interesting insights that we bomb with our inappropriately timed dark jokes. You know you want to listen. 

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.
