  • Unbelievable insight

    I walk away with every single episode chewing on an idea I never realized was present in the media the wives are discussing. Even when they have wildly different opinions, I love that both of them give me some thoughts to mull over.

  • Not really reviews

    Instead of talking about the movie, they talk about everything except the movie. I don’t care what incels had to say on their blog about the movie in 2010. Why amplify their voices? Just talk about the actual movie.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Very Brady Sequel (1996) w/ Chelsey Weber-Smith
Q: What makes A Very Brady Sequel so compelling as a sequel?
The guests and hosts discuss how it doubles down on the franchise's tropes, expands the lore with clever cross-references to episodes, and uses the Hawaii climax to culminate a series of gags, while also embedding meaningful character moments, especially for Jan, Marcia, and the parents.
A Very Brady Sequel (1996) w/ Chelsey Weber-Smith
Q: Chelsea, your thoughts and feelings.
Chelsey expresses that the sequel is a smart, ambitious reimagining that builds on the original while embracing meta humor, with particular affection for the way it repurposes iconic Brady Bunch moments and elevates the comedy through strong writing and performances.
My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
Q: What's your history with this movie?
I think I haven't seen it in a bit. It's been some years now since I've revisited Totoro, but I'm like, I think I appreciate Totoro on a deeper level.
Little Women (2019)
Q: How is the catharsis for you knowing that Jo March gets the ending that everyone apparently wanted her to have forever?
For me, it really does hit. I think that it is the ending that I've always wanted Jo to have.
Can't Hardly Wait (1998) w/ Niko Stratis!
Q: What do you think of Amanda as a character?
She kind of doesn't really have a lot to do and is mostly an object of affection that has moved throughout the movie.
