"Toe pick!"
It's been awhile. First I couldn't settle on a movie to talk about. And then I went on vacation. And finally I settled on an underrated rom com from the 1990s cause that's one of my happy places and seemed a perfect movie to jump back into the swing of things. And then I talked for way longer than anticipated. The Cutting Edge will do that to you though.

Another 1985 and unsurprisingly it stars some Muppet friends from Sesame Street. It's a sweet nostalgic favorite that shows the beauty of diversity, found families, and friendship...with some pretty awesome songs thrown in for good measure.

What a wild movie to start the year out with! It has aliens. Dennis Quaid. A nonsensical mining plot. Death by meteors. And a LOT of movie stills with the two main characters just staring at each other. A few weeks ago, someone told me I have questionable taste in movies. I agree...without shame. See exhibit A.

"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese."
Is Coach Finstock the worst coach ever? Or maybe the best? It's hard to tell, but he sure does make an impact in this particular 80s teen comedy.

Bold statement here - 1985 may be one of the great years of film ever. I said what I said, and I’m going to prove it to you the rest of this year. So if you would be so kind, take a listen to this here podcast. Is it high art? No. Do I know what I’m talking about? No. Do I have strong opinions about ridiculous things? Yes. This is the podcast for you if you just like to hear someone share enthusiastically about their passion, and my hope is that I can may lure you into the conversation too.
You can listen here or to any number of podcast apps like Apple Podcasts or Spotify or iHeart Radio or Overcast. Wherever is fine. I’m not picky! And then stop by my social media and let me know what you thought of the conversation or the movie or what I should watch next. I’d love your input!

Episode 165 | Casper (1995)

This past February I built an entire program for adult women around 90s teen heartthrobs. It was called "Galentines: Tiger Beat Edition" and we talked our favorite actors of the 90s at a local pub, made classic 90s hairbows, played MASH, and drank beer. It was a great night. And it all started when I saw a poster of Devon Sawa in Casper.
On this Halloween, we're keeping that same conversation with the not-so-spooky favorite from 1995.

That, plus a recap of some of my favorite pop culture finds in 2022 and a ridiculous list of my “hope to accomplish” this New Year is what you can expect in today’s episode.

In today's double feature, we're squashing two movies together that don't really match but we're making them with the theme - "Some kids go on an adventure" - The Goonies and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

While this isn't my penultimate list of movie favorites, it's pretty darn close. And because one movie an episode just ins't good enough, I've created ridiculous themes to make space for double features. Today's topic of conversation - romantic adventures with a bit of whimsy and magic...also known as The Princess Bride and Stardust.

And now for a brief conversation on a horrible movie that I love anyway. I'm a bit fan of those kinds of movies, and a big fan of Keanu Reeves, despite his questionable acting skills. But he sure is pretty.

If you don't love Keanu Reeves, I'm afraid that we can't be friends. Is he the best actor ever? A resounding no. But his good guy persona isn't an act, and he's disgustingly handsome. That's why he gets his own week as I gear up for season 6. Sidenote - I apologize for the behavior of my cats and dog. Just so you know...they have zero remorse for interrupting the episode.

We're ending season 5 with a conversation full of other Muppet and Jim Henson moments I love. From Fraggle Rock to the Frog Prince and almost everywhere inbetween. I hope you have some pop culture corner you love as much as I love the master storytelling and memorable characters that Henson built...no matter how old I get.

“When people told themselves their past with stories, explained their present with stories, foretold the future with stories, the best place by the fire was kept for... The Storyteller.” My introduction to the gem that was John Hurt, and the joy that is retellings of mostly early German folktales. Today we're talking about The Storyteller.

Hands down one of my FAVORITE movies of all time. Should it be? That's probably up for debate, but there's just something about Bowie as a goblin king and the world Henson created that is filled with all the nostalgia. Today we're talking about Labyrinth.

Welcome to the least tense heist movie of all time because the entire plot is revealed in intentional exposition. And that's why I love the Muppets, because whenever they're around, nothing - not even the disappearance of extremely valuable jewelry - is that big of a deal. And you also get the Sam Eagle quote, "You are all weirdos." Just the best. In today's episode we're discussing the second Muppet theatrical release, The Great Muppet Caper.

She is beloved by everyone, a feminist icon, and legend in country music. And since everyone else gets to talk about her as she continues to do amazing things, it's only right that I should get my chance as well. In the break before season 5 of the podcast, it's time for another appreciation week and this week we are SO appreciating the one and only, Dolly Parton.

Wrapping up season 4 and our fun conversation on romantic comedies...which I will promptly avoid for the foreseeable future. A Weirdo hopped on to the pod today to help me with some last minute superlatives and a ridiculous conversation about our recent obsession...Turkish soap operas. Yes. You heard me correctly. That's what happens when you destroy your Instagram algorithm.

I really think Megara from Hercules said it best when she said "I'm a damsel. I'm in distress. I can handle this." Yep. All of that can be true at the same time. But sometimes it takes a little time to get there, and that's definitely what our damsels, our heroines figure out in today's romantic comedies. And there's nothing wrong with that. Today we're talking about Joan Wilder in Romancing the Stone and Ellie Andrews in It Happened One Night.

I pulled out my lazy internet researching skills to start a little conversation about whether or not opposites do, in fact, attract. Are people really opposites? Or just two souls living different lives who happen to meet? We’ll sort of discuss this through the lens of Barefoot in the Park and Two Weeks Notice (mostly because I really just wanted to talk about Barefoot in the Park :)

"If there's anything worse than a woman living alone, it's a woman saying she likes it" - is a terribly offensive quote, and yet somehow Doris Day and Rock Hudson make horrible behavior seem okay in the 1959 classic Pillow Talk on today's episode. We'll also talk a bit about the 2003 parody, Down With Love. It's going to be a good time. You should definitely give it a listen!

I'm not entirely sure I agree with that sentiment, but if Sabrina teaches you nothing else, it's that if you move to Paris not only will you eat a lot of baguettes, but you'll also come back unrecognizable with fancy clothes and a haircut. In today's episode we're picking apart the 1954 classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn and the 1995 adaptation with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormand.

New episode!Welcome to season 4 of the podcast where we’re diving into a not so deep conversation about romantic comedies…you know - that problematic corner of pop culture that we’ve all seen and kind of like despite the fact that the relationships are often surface level, no one is communicating well, and the story ends when everyone is happy and shows nothing about the hard stuff that actually comes with being in a relationship. This is going to be a good time. In today's episode we're discussing the "Dear Friend" plotline and taking a not so deep dive into The Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail.

New episode! I'm so excited to share my unsolicited opinions with you. Welcome to season 2! This season we're talking 80s and 90s kids movies that so many grew up watching. Most are seriously disturbing, but all exceptionally fun in one way or another. This episode we're exploring one of my favorite for no particular reason other than it's absolutely ridiculous. Let's have some fun discussing Teen Witch. There will be stories. There will be LOTS of opinions. But most importantly, there will be a bit of fun.

New episode! I'm so excited to share my unsolicited opinions with you. This is the end of season one! I challenged myself to watch 48 animated Disney movies over the course of the summer, and I thought I'd take you along for the ride. It seemed necessary to end things with one final list. One final conversation about Disney movies, nostalgia, and just doing the thing that is hard. There will be stories. There will be LOTS of opinions. But most importantly, there will be a bit of fun.
