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. However, while we usually lovingly drag movies over the coals, this movie we tie to train tracks. This movie really got us going. So buckle up and prepare, we are on our bullshit this episode. Hilarity ensues. Hope you enjoy!

This episode we recap the wacky thriller You Get Me staring Bella Thorne and a grown man trying to pass for a teenage boy.

We present to you, our magnum opus. Our work of art. What this podcast has been building to.

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...

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 p...

What seemed to be a sweet rom-com staring Lucy Hale turned out to be a phallic filled charcuterie board of all things sex. You've been warned.

When sweet Lucy finds herself alone after her boyfriend humiliates her and gaslights her into thinking she is sexually inadequate, she embarks on an Eat Pray Love journey to unprude herself. The result is a slapstick, ...

Settle in for a long one as we take several extra minutes dismantling the patriarchy (as one does). This week we are discussing the 2023 movie Barbie, staring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Or rather, Rose recaps the movie to Courtney who has thus far refused to watch it for no reason other than to ruin Rose's life. Anyway...join in on the hilarity as we examine this movie and the ways the patriarchy stole the story's power right ...

This week, we're recapping the 2023 movie "Role Play" with Kaley Cuoco and David Oyelowo. Ever wonder what we never ask male assassins? "How does he juggle it all?" But meet Emma, a suburban mom of two, trying to spice up her marriage and hide her secret life as an assassin. She's good at it, really good. One slip-up, and now her whole family's in a war with her former boss. Got a tranquilizer gun handy? You're gonna need one!

What happens when a woman who is drop-dead gorgeous but totally dead-inside is put between a rock and hard place? Well--whatever the hell she needs to do for a Buick, that's what. No Hard Feelings (2023) was an unexpected blast of a movie. Jennifer Lawrence shows us a side (and many undersides) of her we haven't seen on film yet. When a wealthy couple offers her a free Buick in exchange for her to bring their son "out of his shell,...

Rose is opening the suggestion box just so you all can write in to Courtney and express how much this episode traumatized you BECAUSE IT TRAUMATIZED HER.

The 2023 movie Saltburn is a dark and twisty tale that, in retrospect makes a lot of sense, but in the moment you wonder if this screenplay was meant to be posted on a forum under a pen name and never to be seen by the masses.

Ah well, here it is. Our hilarious (because, duh, dark...

This week we recap the 2014 movie Age of Adeline, Staring Blake Lively and another guy whose name we can't pronounce. Also Harrison Ford! Join us as we have a blast discussing the events of the movie and wondering what the holidays are looking like for a woman who has a lot of awkward skeletons in her closet. Though they are nothing compared to what Daddy Ford is keeping in his shed of secrets.

This week, Courtney begs Rose or ANYONE to say 'syke'. That's because former president Barack Obama (can we call you Barry?) produced a too-realistic movie about the end of the world called Leave The World Behind. In this episode, we let our paranoia and anxieties shoot through the stratosphere in our hilarious recap of this probably really serious movie (do we take anything serious?). Tune into our hilarious recap and don't forget...

We are taking it back to the Y2K era to recap the 1999 crime thriller Double Jeopardy staring Ashley Judd. If your husband fakes his death and frames you for his murder, how far would you go to get revenge? Someone's about to double die, death squared. Murder to the tenth degree.

This week we embark on a journey of self discovery and deep contemplation. Just kidding, this week we are begrudgingly recapping Eat Pray Love, staring Julia Roberts. The movie is based on the real life story and memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert's.

We love pizza and cliches and by the end of this movie we were stuffed. So join us for a hilarious guided tour through the art of avoiding your responsibilities.

This week we dive deep into the insane 2019 crime thriller 'Above Suspicion', starring Emilia Clarke, Johnny Knoxville, Jack Huston. It's the closest thing to a true crime episode we will get, as this movie is based on the tragic murder of FBI informant Susan Smith.

The grittiness of the story only makes us double down on our dark humor and escapism. The setting (rural Kentucky) calls on Courtney to explain a number of country-livi...

This week we had a blast recapping the 2014 Comedy The Other Woman staring Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann. What happens when an already unstable woman finds out her husband is cheating on her with Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton? Nothing good, I'll tell you that much.

Courtney and Rose bring you a hilarious recap Netflix's 2023 romcom "Love at First Sight" where no intrusive though go unspoken. A story about fate and how it brings bright-eyed bushy-tailed young people together, despite their stupidity. The dark humor is elevated by our recent binging of Criminal Minds, and the inappropriate humor is brought to you by our immaturity. Enjoy!
