In the Movies... Ep. 29: Mad Max: Fury Road & Reboots, Remakes, and Sequels
in Rated F
Tish and Juliana talk about Mad Max: Fury Road and reboots, remakes, & sequels. An anomaly amidst a growing sea of mediocre franchise movies, Mad Max: Fury Road is a favorite of ours that we love to talk about. We explore the causes & effects of the current epidemic of unoriginal movies taking over our cinemas. (Spoiler: It's all about the Benjamins, baby.)

In the Movies... Ep. 27: Drunk Disney: Babes in Toyland

Welcome to Mother Goose Village! Where all your favorite nursery rhyme characters live and sing and dance! While we were disappointed in the lack of Christmas in the movie, we were blown away by the beautiful Mother Goose Village sets and found our new favorite classic movie star; Annette.

In the Movies Ep. 26: Love Actually & Hyperlink Cinema
in Rated F
Tish and Juliana talk about Love Actually and hyperlink cinema. We break it down into individual stories and determine which are sweet and which are terrible. Why do we watch Love Actually every year, but hate all other multiple-plots movies? Christmas covers a multitude of sins...
