We deep dive right back into some nostalgia with this weeks recap and revisit the fresh into the Millenia classic, Miss Congeniality. Starring Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, William Shatner and Candice Bergen. Sandra is always a vibe. We're never mad about it. However, this movie is very late 90's early 2000's. Girl needs a makeover so boy sees her for HER. But this girl has a gun. Several actually. Because this is America.…

On this weeks deep dive we recap Wish You Were Here, a movie based on the novel by Renee Carlino AND Julie Styles directorial debut. Yes, that Julie Styles, we checked. Courtney is a big fan of this tragic tale of love and losing, and Renee Carlino in general. Would you throw yourself into a doomed, short term relationship just to end up heartbroken in the end? Charlotte sure does. Maybe it was the dumplings, maybe it was smile, who knows.…

This week's deep dive is psych thriller, starring Anna Kendrick. Our hot take, psych thriller are scarier than regular thrillers. And what's more terrifying than a mentally abusive man that everyone loves? Imagine telling your friends that the perfect guy you're dating is terrible. Not only that, he's so good at it, that you think your the problem. He's gotten so far into your head that YOU look crazy.…

Cameron Diaz returns to acting with Jamie Foxx in this week's recap. They go from banging their CIA partners (each other, duh) to beating the shit out of creepy dudes in clubs hitting in their teenage daughter. It's been about 15 years, but they still got it. And blow their cover in the process. Spy comedies are always a good time, and this one is no different. CIA training is like riding a bike... right?…

This recap of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut starring Elliot Page is a dangerous one for Rose and Court. The vibes, the aesthetics, the rage- it made us think we too, could be Roller Derby Girls. We can't, for the record. But we adored this coming of age film. As former 17 year old girls AND as women who are... No longer 17.…

Its been the age old December question: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? We're happy to announce that we're not here to answer that for you. We ARE however here to recap this 1988 classic starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. This was a first watch for both Rose and Courtney... We wanted to drag this movie, because we like to be haters sometimes... But there isn't much to drag. Except our jaws off the floor while gawking at Brucey's biceps. We're unwell. Send help.…

Swimming in a little bit of nostalgia with this weeks recap of Two Weeks Notice. Starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. We get he's hot, he's British for some reason, he rich AF... But girl, he doesn't want a girlfriend, he wants a mommy. And not in the kinky way. He wants a legit mother. You're an m-effing attorney. You have a whole ass law degree and you STILL got dickmatized. Its ok, it happens to the best of us. And at the end of the day, you're still Sandra Bullock.…

Rounding off October with this flouncy, early 2000's number we recap Ella Enchanted. Starring Anne Hathaway, Hugh Fancy, Minnie Driver and Vivica Fox. It's fun, it's medieval, it's... modern? You'll see what we mean. Ella is way too smart to have gone 17 years with this curse. We literally spent 3 hours with her curse and came up with like 15 loopholes. But we'll forgive it, because without it she wouldn't have got her golden retriever, almost man bun having Prince/King.…

In the spirit of spooky season, we recap this fantasy masterpiece starring Hugh Jackman (who Courtney didn't recognize by face, but by Jawline). There's a lot going on here and honestly, what's not to love? You got your monsters, your fairy tales, your religious trauma and your morally corrupt murderous angelic man (maybe still angel?). Plus, there is a man bun. Oh, there's a plot too. But that's less important than the man bun tbh.…

A recap of purely (pun intended) girly things. Summoning a demon, the mother of demons to be more specific, at an ALT right purity camp. These girls really saw an opportunity to say 'we're just girls' and said bet, summoning Lilith and taking vengence. Jahkara Smith, McKaley Miller, Ciara Bravo, Annalisa Cochrane are an absolute delight, while Scott Porter and Jim Klock are... well, there. Mayor Paul (Ginny and Georgia reference) would never do this to us, but Pastor Seth definitely would, and does.…

Oh. My. God. A Sci-Fi movie where no one had to have sex with an alien? We are totally down for this recap starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt that centers around, wait for it, FATE. We think. Like if we had to name it, we'd name it Fate. This movie is the perfect example of 'if he wanted to, he would.' Because Matt Damon wanted to, and he did. More than once. And that chemistry? Give it an EGOT.…
