The Lizzie McGuire Movie

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Is this really what dreams are made of? It depends on which podcast host you ask. If you’re Jane, of course! Hilary Duff was a major part of her childhood. If you ask Brandon, he will tell you that he suffered through for our deep abiding friendship and not even a trip around Rome could keep him interested. But this is what this podcast is about. This one is full of nostalgia and tangents as per usual, so press play if that kind of thing is what your dreams are made of.

Black Christmas

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMT

What’s the holiday season without a little horror? This 1974 Classic is responsible for many of the horror movie tropes we rely on today and although Jane and Brandon have a lot of questions, they thoroughly enjoyed shaking up the season with some good old fashioned murder. Margot Kidder, playing a alcoholic coed, Olivia Hussey as a curious British sorority sister, and the iconic Andrea Martin a few years before her role in My Big Far Greek Wedding, round out the cast and we couldn’t ask for anything more. Except for maybe a spin off with the incredible Mrs. Mac, the house mother who is God’s gift to camp. If you know, you know!

The Family Stone

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 05:39:37 GMT

Diane Keaton. Craig T. Nelson. Rachel McAdams. Dermott Mulroney. Luke Wilson. With that cast, you’d be expecting a pretty solid Christmas movie. According to our hosts, this movie has some major issues. But, that doesn’t mean we weren’t able to muster up some serious holiday vibes while breaking this one down. No matter what your opinion is of this 2005 holiday hit, you can’t deny that it has a major cultural impact. Join us as we chat about it all and answer the questions, how mean can a Rachel McAdams character be before we demand an apology? And are you really so heartless that you won’t shed tears at a dying matriarch even if she’s not all that likable? And is it really possible for brothers to swap love interests and remain cool?

Battlefield Earth

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

We are not gonna sugarcoat it. This movie is bad. John Travolta, desperate to tell the story of L Ron Hubbard’s failed sci-fi novel, somehow convinced Forrest Whitaker to suit up for this stinker. Not even Kelly Preston’s (RIP) trick tongue could save this one. Brandon and Jane do everything they can to talk about anything other than the movie itself. Our hosts cover a plethora of tangents such as, Scientology and Brandon’s surprising lack of knowledge about the “religion,” Travolta’s career, Sydney Sweeney and her unwillingness to distance herself from white supremacy, and how they’d changed every single thing about this turd of a film.

We talk about what we would do, who’d we leave behind, and how we’d move out of that house at the first sign of danger. So go ahead and listen, even if you’re too scared to watch the movie, you won’t want to miss our deep dive into the world of the paranormal!

Feardotcom? More like Feardotbomb! Sorry folks, if you were looking for a genuinely good movie, what are you doing tuning into this podcast?! We joke, we kid! Check out our first spooky movie selection, a Stephen Dorff led thriller that makes almost no sense. We’ve got Natascha McElhone, Stephen Rea, and Udor Kier who can frankly do nothing to save this story, but Jane and Brandon have a ball unpacking the wild choices made by the director, William Malone, and how the technology from 2002 makes no sense in a 2025 world.

Airbud

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 04:06:25 GMT

Woofy, set, go! This week, Jane and Brandon tackle the gritty legal drama that deigns to ask all too prescient questions like, who can claim full custody of a clown-cum-basketball playing dog? Think Kramer Vs Kramer, but Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman are locked in a broom closet somewhere and there’s a dog playing both their parts and the script is a lot worse. This one is gonna make you laugh, cry, and ask yourself, “would I be brave enough to let my dog shoot hoops with the local ramshackle junior high school basketball team?” Listeners, we present to you our coverage of 1997’s Air Bud!

Multiplicity

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 04:00:00 GMT

This week, Brandon and Jane tackle the a movie that asked the question, how many Michael Keatons does it take to screw an Andie McDowell and then dared to answer it. But seriously, Keaton’s been duplicated through the magic of mid-nineties movie science and we’ve got way more questions than answers. It’s 1996’s Multiplicity!

Beastly

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 04:00:00 GMT

We are back, MWM fam!! Thank you for patiently waiting for our return! This week we are bringing you the 2011 masterpiece Beastly, starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Neil Patrick Harris (for some reason) and, Mary-Kate Olsen.

From Justin to Kelly

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 13:49:17 GMT

From Justin to Kelly was a mistake. Everyone knew it before production started. Kelly Clarkson begged not to do it. Justin Guarini lives with regret. So clearly, Jane and Brandon had to watch this early aughts treasure trove. Even though they were both huge American Idol stans, this is a movie they both missed. Which, after viewing, they both kind of wished they kept it that way. Join us for the hilarity as we pick apart this classic flop.

Leprechaun

Barbarian

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 05:00:00 GMT

What would you do if some random guy was in your Airbnb when you showed up late at night after driving a long distance? Furthermore, what would you do if that man was Bill Skarsgard, ya know the clown from Stephen King’s IT? If your answer is: I would simply leave and find other accommodations, then this movie will have you screaming at your television. There's a plethora of moments that will leave you wondering “why would you do that?!” Join Jane and Brandon as they discuss red flags in men, Justin Long expertly playing an asshole, and what it all means when a man writes a movie about a woman making interesting choices. It’s a deeper chat than we were expecting for a movie that features a barbarian force breast feeding one of Hollywood’s greatest.

Volcano

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 15:51:42 GMT

Have you ever wondered about the deep intricacies of how a handful of public works companies handle a natural disaster? What if it features Anne Heche and Tommy Lee Jones? What about a combination earthquake/volcano hitting downtown Los Angeles? If you’re all in on that, let’s sweeten the deal with appearances from Gabby Hoffman, Don Cheadle and the commentary of Brandon and Jane and how they’d navigate such a terrifying scenario. Spoiler alert: not like the brave heroes in this 1997 film. There would be less dignified choices. Press play to hear them!

Fifty Shades Freed

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 05:00:00 GMT

We are fifty shades freed of this franchise! That’s right, we’ve reached the end of our coverage of Christian and Anastasia and we can’t say we are too bummed. Listen to Jane and Brandon discuss the final chapter that leaves almost everything to be desired. We’ve got plenty of Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, a smack of Rita Ora, and sadly, very little Marcia Gay Harden. But we do have a kidnap for ransom plot that keeps us on our toes, so tune in and listen to us finish up the greatest love story of our generation!

Fifty Shades of Grey

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 05:05:22 GMT

We are back on our bullshit — aka back in the Twilight universe. Sort of. This series was born out of Twilight fan fiction and to say it shows is an understatement. We have Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan doing their best to bring heat to the most vanilla of sexual scenarios. According to this movie, if you’ve ever tied a partner up in the bedroom, you have your PhD in BDSM. Join us as we start yet another ridiculous series and breakdown the improbability of it all. In the end, Jane and Brandon reveal just how much they’d put up with to be in bed with a billionaire.

Loving Annabelle

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 14:07:51 GMT

If Loving Annabelle is wrong, we don’t want to be right. Actually, in this case, we’d prefer to be right, considering in some states loving Annabelle could land you about five to ten years in the clink. Brandon and Jane cover this lesbian cannon film for Pride Month where they ask many unanswered questions but chief among them is, were we so starved for queer content in 2007 that we let the story of a woman falling in love with a teenager slide?

Leap of Faith

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Religious scams, miscasting, and a sapphic sidekick who makes no mention of being a lesbian and ends up with a man but Jane is sure she senses something underneath the surface? Who’d have thunk a film featuring Steve Martin, Deborah Winger, Liam Neeson, and a silent, possibly underage girl-loving Philip Seymour Hoffman would bring so much controversy.

We wouldn’t be Movies We Missed if we didn’t bring you yet another Nicholas Cage joint. This one features Jon Voight, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Justin Bartha, and Harvey Keitel. With such a stacked cast and a big budget, you’d assume this script would make total and complete sense, right? That these legends would never get together to star in some sort of patriotic fever dream, right? Press play to see what our hosts think…

Thank goodness Jennifer Coolidge and Regina King are here to round out the cast otherwise, we’re not sure this take on the old tale is worth watching.

Happy Together

Fri, 23 Jun 2023 13:48:20 GMT

Our third Pride month movie, ironically named “Happy Together,” is definitely not all sunshine and roses. It is a beautifully shot heartbreaking story of leaving home to live truthfully and realizing that love cannot save you from your emotional baggage. Written and directed by Wong Kar-wai in 1997, this movie shines and shatters your soul at the same time. But don’t worry, Brandon and Jane still find time to crack some jokes after all the heavy content. They have now picked a fight with Candace Cameron Bure although it’s never quite specified why. She knows why. And she has 24 hours to respond.

Raise Your Voice

Jane & Brandon cover the movie about music that nobody asked for. We can be grateful for the cringiest scene of all time that plays out like a demon escaping the inner sanctum of Hilary Duff’s diaphragm as we are gaslit to think she is giving Whitney Houston level vocals.

They spend time wondering why a cast that includes John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, Dave Chapelle, John Cusack, Colm Meaney, and Ving Rhames turned out to be the kind of movie that is funny for all the wrong reasons.

This week Brandon and Jane set their lasers to 1993 and watch a film that neitherhad ever seen! The Temp! We discuss the complexities of a world with two Tom Hollands (only two!), the sartorial excellence of the clothing worn by Laura Flynn Boyle and Faye Dunaway, and ask the age old question. If a movie falls apart in its last act and no one is in the theatres to watch it, does it really have an impact? Tune in to find

Imagine Me & You

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 05:56:57 GMT

Jane and Brandon don't have to IMAGINE what it would be like to be gay in the 2000s. Join us this week for a lesbian rom-com that is both relatable and at the same time confusing with an all-star cast (Lena Headey, Piper Perabo) you won't want to miss!

Angel

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 14:08:07 GMT

This week, Brandon and Jane discuss another 80s classic. While navigating technical difficulties, we discuss Hollywood Boulevard, Mae West, and the peculiar way sex work was documented in the 80s films. This one me is equal parts silly and gritty!

The Sweetest Thing

Fri, 04 Nov 2022 05:00:40 GMT

Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair are worth every penny. This script? Left something to be desired but we somehow enjoyed it? Still unpacking that one! Brandon and Jane get together to discuss whether this early 2000’s rom-com is feminism or annoying pick-me behavior. They also spend arguably too much time on the strange blonde color of Thomas Jane’s “blonde” hair.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 05:00:26 GMT

The Purge

Sat, 22 Oct 2022 00:27:31 GMT

Would Jane and Brandon survive the purge? Do you think they would take the opportunity to off that nosy neighbor or coworker who accidentally slighted them?

Spoiler alert: not well!

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 17:07:11 GMT

2 Fast 2 Furious

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 05:00:44 GMT

Jane and Brandon are bringing the family back to MWM! Except, there’s one significant member missing. Whose idea was it to make a Fast & Furious sequel without Vin Diesel?! We still have the late great Paul Walker involved, along with the abs of Tyrese Gibson and the totally unnecessary and lackluster love affair with the lovely Eva Mendes who at one point wears the biggest belt we’ve ever seen. As always, it’s a wild ride but thank goodness we have Brandon to help us understand all the gear head jargon.

That Old Feeling

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 05:00:41 GMT

This week Brandon and Jane discuss a not so famous late 90s rom com. We discuss the star power of Bette Midler, the unexpected comedic turn of the late great Dennis Farina, and ponder why this film that centers on the romantic relationship between two fifty somethings wasn’t a bigger hit at the box office. Wait… I think we just answered our own question.

How To Deal

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 05:00:51 GMT

I don’t think anyone involved in making this 2003 teen romcom anticipated two queers in their 30’s absolutely pulling it apart piece by piece 20 years later. Join Jane and Brandon as they discuss this Mandy Moore classic supported by the underutilized Alison Janney, Peter Gallagher, and Nina Foch — a woman who we can only assume was 5 steps behind Cloris Leachman for her entire career.

The Terminator

Fri, 16 Sep 2022 21:04:58 GMT

This week Brandon and Jane head back to 1984 (don’t tell Skynet!). We are revisiting the James Cameron joint that launched the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a movie empire. Topics include bitchin’ 80s fashion, the irrelevance of phone books and the dangers of wearing a Walkman during dare I say it…coitus! We are asking the hard questions and you’ll be cackling before you can say “hasta la vista.” That’s technically not this film but you get the drift. It’s The Terminator!

Party Monster

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 14:02:05 GMT

Jane and Brandon have a frank discussion about the cult classic starring Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green. While they touch on the movie, they also discuss a documentary made by the same filmmakers called Party Monster: The Shockumentary. They spend a good amount of time covering how a tragic story about Angel Melendez, who’s life was cut short, is overshadowed by the narcissistic Michael Alig’s life who couldn’t stand for the spotlight to be on anyone else.

We drool over the 1990’s fashions, discuss a movie that, while not without faults, features some of the first responsible messaging around safer sex practices and interesting social commentary regarding the American school system and drug use. All while remaining pretty cool! This is a delicate balance people!!!

This week Brandon and Jane take a trip nearly 80 years back into the cinematic archive to watch Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope.

Brandon and Jane discuss the complications of making a gay romantic comedy for straight audiences, the absence of Tom Selleck’s mustache, the charm of Kevin Kline, and their love and adoration for Joan Cusack. This is a gay movie for the whole family! What does that really mean though? In thinking about the romanticization of a particular kind of image of American life, where do images of queerness fit in? Tune in to listen as these two debate it.

Saving Face

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 05:04:56 GMT

Continuing on with our Pride series, we cover the only queer, AAPI, and women-led movie out there. At least we think. We get a glimpse into what it was like for a successful, first generation Chinese American doctor who is also a lesbian to navigate a relationship in the closet. While living with her pregnant mother. In 2005. It's layers on layers on layers of intersectionality for this delightful queer rom-com and it's one of those happy gay movies that no one freakin' talks about! Will Smith is a producer and we definitely feel like he should have/should be talking about it more but he appears to have some other things on his plate lately.

There’s also tangents on the problematic politics of Caitlin Jenner and what it really means to have your pockets lined by Big Milk!!! Spoiler alert: this thing goes deeper than any of us could have imagined. Do what they say or you’ll end up with broken bones. I ain’t talking about calcium deficiency either. I can’t stop the dad jokes and this movie can’t stop the floppage.

Fri, 20 May 2022 21:39:53 GMT

Be our plus one for this journey through the English countryside! Debra Messing, Dermot Mulroney, and Amy Adams try their best with this 2005 rom com.

If you can figure out how that adds up, please let Brandon and Jane know!
