Remember watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers with a side of cheesy pretzel bites as a teenager? OK, maybe that's too specific, but please! Relive some memories with us as we dive into the classic musical chosen by Maddie! We share our personal experiences with the movie, from the time we first watched it as teens to Jen's hilarious first impressions.
We'll take you on a trip down memory lane as we discuss the movie's production budget, box office, and storyline. And of course, we'll debate which of the six brothers is our ultimate favorite. But we don't stop there – we'll also dig into the movie's underlying themes around romance and marriage, including some of the more questionable attitudes portrayed.
Join us as we tackle Adam's objectifying attitude toward women, his leathery fringe outfit, and how the movie reflects his chauvinistic views. We'll also chat about the romantic cliches portrayed in the movie, such as Millie falling for someone based on their cooking ability, and her tragic backstory. Plus, we'll share some of our favorite humorous moments sprinkled throughout the film. So come along for a fun-filled exploration of the frontier and its peculiar take on love and relationships!

It's not our first anime review, but the stars have aligned, and it's that time again! Let's discuss how we came to know the movie and series, and begin discussing the plot of "Sailor Moon R: The Movie", an animated film released in 1993 based on the popular anime and manga series.
Fiore has come to Earth seeking a powerful crystal known as the "Cosmic Heart", which he believes belongs to his childhood friend, Mamoru (also known as Tuxedo Mask), who is now Sailor Moon's boyfriend. The team must fight Fiore and his minions to protect the Cosmic Heart and save Mamoru from being destroyed by Fiore's power.
We'll delve into the themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice that are prevalent in the movie, why this was one of Lydia's favorite childhood throwbacks, as well as the differences between the dubbed and subbed versions.
We'll also have Sean Facts and the most difficult box office estimation in the history of the podcast, as we try to guess the numbers in Yen!

Let's join forces (your ears and our opinions) for something amazing and peculiar! This part is so huge, we won't even discuss the plot for either episode we're reviewing this month.
Lydia helps bring us into non-theatrical entertainment for the second time -- "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever", also her choice last December, was our very first. But this month is definitely something new, as we cover two great episodes from "Doom Patrol" season 1 -- our first venture into discussions of a serialized streaming show.
We'll tell how we first came to the show, discuss the characters in tons of detail, and bring Sean Facts into the mix for trivia and laughs.

It's time to land this mothership, hyuck yuck! We'll finish the plot with some discussion over the introspective thoughts from the cast while traversing the community theater-like expansive set of the klown's ship. Plus, Naomi lists all of the names she's given to the klowns; we'll tell you who played Klownzilla and reveal who or what a 'grenade' is.
And, as always, our shocked and applaudable moments!

Beep, beep, mothers! It's Sean's (from Shocked Talk) choice this month and look ... it was either this or Cabin Boy. So, trust us when we say, you got the best we're going to bring you this month!
We'll start with Sean Facts so shocking to us that it nearly made us do a spit take. Then, as we dive into the plot, be ready for some quaint discussions on the "right" way to sell ice cream to sexed up teenagers, the unfortunate death of a beloved pet, and oh yeah ... KILLER CLOWNS! From outer space, even!

Us: Laughs in 8bit!
It's a speed run, y'all! Let's see how many times we can say we unironically love this horrible special effects sci-fi film from the early 90s.
We'll start with how we came to this movie, go through some sad Sean Facts, and begin to somehow make the audio scrubber move from the left of your screen to the right side without us falling to our untimely deaths.

We'll dive in with a quick discussion on how we came to this movie (...we don't really remember), list out the multitudes of sinful awards this fish out of water earned, and discuss the plot, up to the point where we see Bryce Dallas Howard's Nair Hair-removed Narf legs.

It's a horribly horrible Horror October, Applauders! After a hyped suggestion by Sean (from SeanFasts®), Lydia has chosen the Japanese 1977 horror film directed and produced by Nobuhiko Obayashi, "House" .
If you're a sadist and would like to follow along, this movie is currently streaming on HBO Max. But, we guarantee this movie is more fun to chat about with friends than it is to actually try and sit through alone.
We'll let you know some production details, courtesy of Sean, discuss our initial (very opinionated) feelings about the film, and get about 5 minutes into the plot... as ya do.

We're taking a break from releasing our next movie review this week, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Although it may feel uncomfortable, we welcome you to listen to Naomi and Jen recall the names of a few lives that have been lost due to systemic racism and violence.
We'll return next week with the first part of our next review.
Please stay safe, even as we recognize that there are some in our country who do not have this option.
Thank You,
The Shocked & Applaud Team

Furious family funerals. Kids saying the damning-est things. Crandle croaking. If we didn't know any better, we'd say we packed in some actual review in-between all of the girl talk.

And now for something completely different, Applauders! From the Children's Classic, "The Neverending Story" to the suspiciously non-child friend title of "Earth Girls Are Easy", it should become clear to you soon that Season 2 is going to be a wild mashup of other-worldly film reviews.
Join us on the first stretch of our review, where we should probably admit first -- the aliens don't even show up in our conversation until next week. First, we have like a billion breakup songs to sing together.

Do you have a spirit animal, dear Applauder? Well, here's to a healthy amount of restraint in forcing others to endure your whiskered beast inside.
