  • 34. The Most Colorful Time of the Year (Holiday Bonus Episode)
    Dec 14 2022

    Look at us! You didn't know if we'd follow through, huh? Well, we did, and we're discussing an absolutely absurd Hallmark Christmas movie this week. It's got everything you need in a Christmas movie: problematic elements, weird/inaccurate science, questionable medical ethics, and a bunch of horned up moms! The list goes on, but we've got some Sun-er...some Hallmark-Christmas-dancing to do, so let's get to it!

    The Most Colorful Time of the Year - (04:52)

    The song used during the end sign off is called "Home for the Holidays" and can be found here!

  • 33. Christmas in the Clouds
    Nov 28 2022

    It's time for a Christmas episode again! Just one movie again this go around, but maybe we'll do a bonus episode next month. Christmas in the Clouds is a Christmassy, screwball comedy! We dig deep into all the tropes of Hallmark Christmas movies as well, and if you stick around until the end you can hear a festive treat: "Christmas at the Laundromat." It's for sure the dumbest sign off we've ever done. Grab those snickerdoodles out of the oven, and slurp up that nog because it’s time to Sundance around the Christmas tree!

    Christmas in the Clouds - (04:18)

    Song used during Christmas at the Laundromat is 'Love Letters' by Aaron Kenny. Genre / Mood: Cinematic Calm YouTube Audio Library and can be found here!

  • 32. The Vicious Kind
    Nov 17 2022

    Something's cooking in the oven! We can smell it. Could it be turkey? No, that's not it. It smells like family dysfunction, terrible people, and misogyny! Oh, boy! We have a nice, warm, feel good Thanksgiving movie for you this week--absolutely perfect for the family gathering...if your family happens to be a raging dumpster fire, that is! This episode is a little shorter than usual so that Jessica doesn't have to spend an entire week editing and can instead have time to contemplate her year and life choices during the holiday season. Alright, unbutton those top buttons on your pants and get ready for the turkey sweats because it's time to Sundance!

    The Vicious Kind - (03:25)

    Song in the film that was mentioned - “Welcome Home, Son” by Radical Face

    Song clip in the sign off at the end of the podcast - “A Little Bit of Everything” by Dawes

  • 31. Waitress, Mandy, and The Nightmare Before Christmas
    Nov 4 2022

    What's this?!?! A new episode! We're transitioning into deeper holiday and festive vibes, but since it's not quite Christmas and Halloween just ended, we chose a couple of films that have that spooky, eerie tone (disturbing even) and another that is warm and involves pies! Just don't try to understand it...these films feel a little bit autumnal with a dash of Christmas throw in, and that's all we really need, ok? So preheat those ovens and grab your freshly forged battle axes because it's time to Sundance!

    Waitress - (02:39)

    Mandy - (26:21)

    The Nightmare Before Christmas - (42:43)

  • 30. Watcher, Miss Americana, and Magic Mike
    Oct 20 2022

    It's time for another episode! We're talking about a tense thriller, a very entertaining documentary, and a film about some dudes just having fun...or are they? We get a tad unhinged while discussing Watcher and Miss Americana. Look, it's hard not to analyze in depth both Taylor Swift and the different struggles of women, ok? They both inspire a lot of conversation, and we just have a lot of feelings! So limber up, tune those guitars, and let's Sundance!

    Watcher - (07:17)

    Miss Americana - (27:40)

    Magic Mike - (52:57)

  • 29. Dinner in America, Donnie Darko, and Elvis (2022)
    Oct 4 2022

    Been a while! Summer is finally over, and our recording "studio" is habitable again. We're back to talk about a personal favorite from 2020, something a little spooky, and a biopic that is maybe too conventional? We made a new friend. He's....imaginary, but he says we should all Sundance now.

    • Dinner in America - (05:34)
    • Donnie Darko - (21:21)
    • Elvis - (40:56)

  • 28. 99 Homes, Ass Backwards, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence
    May 18 2022

    Another episode in the can, and we're a little weird during this one....ok, more than normal. We discuss one crushing drama with 99 Homes, and then we try to lighten things up a bit with some dumb comedy in Ass Backwards (great title). Does A.I. Artificial Intelligence deliver the same emotional high that Jessica has been chasing for years since seeing Bicentennial Man? Who knows! Well, you'll know after you've finished listening to this. So throw your pageant dresses into your space cars...what's that? You've lost your keys to the future? Well, we saved you a seat in our space car because it's time to get weird, and by that we mean slightly unhinged!

    • Ass Backwards - (26:18)
    • A.I. Artificial Intelligence - (45:28)
