The ugly truth about The Ugly Truth is very ugly. That convoluted nonsense of a sentence is better than anything in this movie. Join us as we discuss horrible gender tropes, misogynists who learn nothing, and the women who love them anyway. Is there anything redeeming about this movie? No, but come hear us rant about it! And if you watched this terrible movie just to listen to our podcast, we will give you a month free of our patreon as an apology.

Can a movie that starts with secret insemination possibly hold up? No, but we’re going to talk about the Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman movie anyway. A weird premise and questionable chemistry, but at least there’s a cute kid. Digressions include “Does Jeff Goldblum know he’s in a movie?”, celebrity scientologists, and Patrick Wilson’s hot wife.

Fifty storylines, no chemistry. The brain behind Pretty Woman and Princess Diaries brings us a much worse movie.

Join us to talk about this insane movie and tell us what parts are most shocking to you. Rate, review and subscribe and most importantly have a safe and happy 2024!

It’s the holiday season! And after five years of Christmas movies, we still have one delightful holiday film left to watch! Join us as we discuss This Christmas, an early aughts family Christmas romp that is definitely better than The Family Stone (fight us).

We are strong, confident, women who can admit when they’re wrong, and we were wrong about Her. A movie about a man who can’t handle a relationship with a human woman so falls in love with an AI can actually hold up.

This week, in honor of Matthew Perry, we revisit one of our childhood favorites Fools Rush In, a charming and deeply underrated rom com that proves surprise pregnancies can lead to lasting love, the best place to give birth is on a bridge in the rain, and (hot take) Salma Hayek is a good actor.

Orphans, an inventor driven insane by his child’s death, a villain driven to madness by an obsession with money and power. Did we change it up and watch a gritty drama this week? No, no, this is beloved children’s romp “Casper.” We debate the importance of continuity and rules in this paranormal world but come to one inarguable conclusion: Bill Pullman is hot.

A 1992 feminist masterpiece about the cost of staying beautiful. In this week’s discussion of Death Becomes Her we make some pretty controversial statements like “Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are pretty good actresses.” Join us as we discuss this cult classic that may or may not be a romcom but is definitely appropriate for spooky season.

Happy Fall, ya’ll! This week we dive into Fever Pitch and ponder if the makings of a great romcom is two stars currently embroiled in public scrutiny, a man-child, a girl boss, and baseball season. We have a lengthy digression into the Real Housewives of New York reboot but we make great points so stick around.
