So Here's The Thing about The Little Mermaid (2023)

Mon, 29 May 2023 10:00:00 GMT

We went to go see Disney's latest and greatest (no seriously, it's a low bar but it's the best) live action remake of one if it's most quintessential classics. For better or worse, Karli and I are Disney aficionados so we got a lot of thoughts. We cover everything from intimacy coordination to the cursed 'scuttlebutt' song. You won't want to miss this one!

The Kissing Booth

Sat, 20 Nov 2021 17:33:30 GMT

Y'aaaaall Karli hadn't seen this movie so we watched it this week, and let me tell you...this movie would be regressive for 1942. Get ready for our biggest rip yet as we decimate Netflix's The Kissing Booth.

CW: Discussions about Domestic Violence and physical abuse.

We had a good time recording this episode, but it also got unexpectedly dark in the second half. Domestic Violence isn't a joke, and although we both think it's an important discussion to have, especially as it pertains to this teen rom-com, please take care of yourself. If engaging with the subject would hurt your mental health, meet us back in two weeks for our Christmas episode!

Also, it is still National Native American Heritage Month and National Diabetes Awareness Month! Learn more at the links below:

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 01:08:02 GMT

Ah yes, the film that started it all.

Our seventh episode is perhaps our most beloved, because it's what gave us the idea to discuss films that were ahead of their time.

If you haven't seen Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, or haven't watched it since you were eight, we humbly ask you to watch this one before you tune in.

Spirit tells an unflinching story of the damage inflicted by American colonization. It covers topics that mainstream media is just barely getting to now. If you thought it was a movie for 8 year old horse girls, that's only because in 2002 the rest of the world couldn't handle it.

The Jungle Cruise

Sat, 06 Nov 2021 18:25:05 GMT

For our 6th episode, we discuss none other than Disney's THE JUNGLE CRUISE!!

Didn't I say we'd wind up being mean to Disney? This movie is abhorrently behind it's time, it's anti-indigenous, homophobic and just plain bad. Come listen to Karli and I take an almost indulgent amount of time to explain it all in horrific detail...it'll be fun ;)
