Hi friends! Finally sharing this one from the archives. On this episode, we talk about the Chip 'n Dale movie, Bling Empire S2 (aware there is now a S3 lols), and Perfect Pairing.
This is the last one we recorded (booooo) but we are in fact still friends and alive and well on Tik Tok (@2friendsinapod if you want to check it out).
See you when we see you?

Hello friends,
We accidentally went on hiatus - oopsies! This episode was recorded in May 2022 following the Selling Sunset Season 5 reunion episode (what a throwback).
We also talk about Everything Everywhere All at Once, Sneakerella & Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.
The next episode you'll hear will be on The Perfect Pairing, starring Victoria Justice and Adam Demos.
But when will you hear it? That's one secret we'll never tell... XOXO FRANCES & ALICE

This week we watched Byron Baes, an Aussie reality TV show set in sunny Byron Bay. It's a choice.
We also discuss the latest album release from Stray Kids, Oddinary. Safe to say we absolutely loved it, from the tracklist to the music videos, dances and aesthetics. We're proudly wearing our STAY badges of honour.
And to round off the episode we dive into West Side Story, the revamped edition of the musical directed by Steven Spielberg.
Tune in next week to hear what we thought about Bridgerton Season 2.

We were also able to experience the Permission to Dance: Seoul concert in cinemas amongst other Army members. Tune in to hear our experiences (and how much we love BTS).

This week are re-capping the last few episodes plus the long-awaited finale of Euphoria Season 2, plus overall thoughts of the season and musings for the Season 3. We also watched Batman (starring our dearest Edward Cullen) and I Want You Back, a romantic comedy available on Amazon Prime.
We also mentioned the totally chaotic Pretty Little Liars recap from Mike's Mic.

We finally watched Marry Me, the much awaited and highly anticipated J. LO X OWEN WILSON collaboration we have been eagerly waiting for. Honestly, this one did not disappoint and Owen Wilson is kind of charming in it... Who are we?!?
Frances also discusses Pam & Tommy, especially in light of statements made by Pamela Anderson herself about the series. And just a little scammer update for the week with Inventing Anna, the story of a the wannabe German heiress Anna Delvey and how she managed to swindle her way through New York's Most Elite.
Also on the watchlist is the Korean drama Twenty-Five Twenty-One, a feel-good drama about friendship, romance and striving for your goals.... and also Nam Joo Hyuk. We also recommend Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo.

These two average-ish in height gals are covering Tall Girl 1 AND 2, the teen rom com about a Tall Girl as she navigates high school, relationships and friendships whilst being burdened by being Very Tall. We also discuss the role of toxic male characters in female-led teen rom coms + a reflection on height (we can get deep too...!). And since everyone has watched the Tinder Swindler (including yours truly) we discuss the Netflix doco that has taken the world by storm. For the second week in a row, Sports Corner is back with the Superbowl LVI just airing. Nevermind the football though, we were there purely to watch Dr Dre, Kendrick, Mary J. Blige and Eminem to perform. We also recommend The Righteous Gemstones!

This week we are talking about the Encanto, the recent animated release from our favourite House of Disney. It's been weeks since we watched it but we are still singing about Bruno and jacarandas thanks to the catchy tunes of Lin Manuel Miranda.
But first, we discuss Euphoria episodes 3-5 and break down what has happened so far (a LOT) and ponder what the finale of the season will bring us.
And in a special Sports Corner correspondence we recap two Winter Olympics Events, Freeski Big Air and Figure Skating. Again, we must reiterate that we have absolutely no authority or knowledge of sports/technique/rules but what we do have is immense respect and appreciation for the athletes. You're doing amazing, sweeties!
We also briefly mention the Tinder Swindler and All of Us are Dead PLUS a live reaction for Lightyear.

This week we are mainly talking about The Royal Treatment, a Netflix exclusive set in the same cinematic universe as The Christmas Prince and starring Bad Hair and Italian Tomato.
But first we discuss The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window, a satire on the true crime genre that we would recommend for anyone, whether you're a genre dabbler like us or a regular consumer. It's absolutely ridiculous and you'll never remember the full name, but you'll have a lot of fun.
Euphoria is also back for Season 2 and we talk about Episodes 1 and 2 specifically, with first impressions of the new season. We also ponder the legacy of the show in light of the drama on and off set. P.S. we hate Nate xo
Stick around to the end for a totally unplanned and sadly unsponsored review of Genki Sparkling Water, a light and bubbly flavoured drink. Special shout out to the Grape flavour, a refreshing version of Fanta Grape (a drink we have much affection for).
Also, Wordle.
Contains spoilers for The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window (00:13:00-00:15:00), The Royal Treatment, Euphoria S2 Ep1-2.

New Year, New Movies.
This week we're talking 2022 movies that we are looking forward to, from Marvel superheroes to romantic comedies, which you'll likely hear us chat about on this very podcast! We love movies!
We might as well rename this episode to "Movies we're watching in 2022 on Disney+". We swear we're not sponsored but we sure would love to be.
We also mention Station Eleven, Penthouse and The Love Hypotheses (which is a BOOK).
Contains spoilers for Spiderman: No Way Home

Two episodes in the space of a week - what a treat!
This is the last of our Christmas content, so from here on we'll have to formally acknowledge the start of the new year (boo). This episode we are mainly chatting about The Holiday, which stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black and Jude Law. Before that we get into Sex Live of College Girls (S1), a comedy series following four roommates as they navigate college together. Don't judge by it's name, the series is a super funny and light coming of age series that we have both lapped up and now eagerly awaiting S2 to drop. We also mention Love on the Spectrum, which follows a cast of adults on the autism spectrum as they navigate love and relationships.
Digressions include Sex and the City and Hometown Cha Cha Cha. Stay till the end for a Covid storytime.
This episode contains spoilers for The Holiday (2006)

It’s officially 2022 but we’re still not done with 2021 juuuust yet. We’ve decided we’re not too cool to share with you our 2021 Spotify Wrapped data and we’re discussing who our top artists, genres and songs were for the year. It may not surprise you to hear that BTS were top artists for the both of us and we do a brief overview on their newly created personal Instagram accounts. We’ll spare you the deep dive (unless you want us to…).
The movie of the week is Happiest Season, which stars Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis and is a spin on the classic Christmas film.
Stay tuned to the end for a quick Pants & Leggings corner and see you in the next episode for The Holiday!

Congrats, you made it through Christmas! But the festive season ain't over til we say so (or until we finish publishing the rest of our Christmas episodes).
We spend most of this episode talking about the iconic Love Actually - love it or hate it, you can't deny that it's a classic. But before that, we start with a review of the latest season of Selling Sunset, Netflix's real estate reality show. Don't be put off by the premise, because it's absolute trash in the most delightful way and both of us are obsessed.

Hello again!
Uploading eps got a little tough for a while (crazily we chose to prioritise our jobs/we live in a world where productivity determines your worth 🥲) but don't think we haven't been recording content for you all this time!! It ain't much, but it's honest work.
So thank you for your patience and just a little warning in advance - dates are out of wack and expect that to continue for the next few episodes.
Travel back to November 2021 with us, as we emerge from Sydney's last lockdown and celebrate FINALLY getting to watch Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Marvel's latest superhero joint and their first with an Asian lead. Suffice to say, expectations were met.
Keeping with the theme of Asian representation, we talk about Netflix's Christmas rom-com offering Love Hard, starring Jimmy O. Yang and Nina Dobrev. It's great to see a romantic pairing that's not what Hollywood typically offers, but we wonder if the catfishing storyline really works.
Last but certainly not least, we celebrate the achievements of singer, songwriter, actress, professional Coachella influencer Vanessa Anne Hudgens who solidified her status as rom-com queen with The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star. She absolutely crushes it and it's frankly insulting to the arts that there's Oscar buzz for Lady Gaga and Kristen Stewart and not for the woman who brought to life Stacy Juliette De Novo Wyndham (Princess of Belgravia), Margaret Katherine Claire Delacourt (Queen of Montenaro), and Lady Fiona Pembroke ALL IN ONE MOVIE.
PS. You'll notice us confusing Belgravia for Montenaro and vice versa, it really doesn't make a difference to the movie.

We're back this week to talk about all things television!
It will come as no surprise that the both of us are avid consumers of TV, so enjoy as we discuss the shows that we're loving right now (Baby-Sitters Club S2, Succession S3), recent highlights (Squid Game, Only Murders in the Building) and the shows that we go back to over and over again (Parks and Recreation, The Great British Bake Off).
We also look at the BBC's 100 greatest shows of the 21st century (check it out here) and evaluate with the unearned authority of Professional Podcasters - find out what we agree with and what we think is missing from the list. Also, neither of us has watched The Wire, so what do we know.
(Alice does have extensive knowledge of the Classics like Buffy, Gilmore Girls, and while Frances doesn't finish shows, she does start a lot - so you can trust us.)
This podcast contains spoilers for lots of TV, including the ending of Squid Game

This week we are spotlighting Harry Potter and our childhood experiences with the franchise. We talk about growing up with Harry Potter, pre-ordering the books and the nostalgia we feel towards the series. We are specifically referencing the first movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001), which introduces us to the magical world of Harry Potter and Hogwarts and is pretty faithful adaptation of the written material. Topics include: Hogwart House readings (Slytherins and Hufflepuffs only, sorry), the privilege of Harry Potter and an unjust House Points system.
But first, Frances successfully dissuades Alice to not watch After We Fell, the third instalment in the After series and based on the One Direction fanfiction. We reflect upon its popularity and it’s undeniable connections to Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey but ultimately, it's a crime against Harry Styles and we are not here for that. Digressions include One Direction (of course) and erotica.

This week we’re discussing Jennifer’s Body (2009), a horror film that infamously flopped when release due to a combination of misdirected marketing and backlash against Cody Diablo and Megan Fox at the time. Since then, it has resurged as a feminist cult classic especially in light of the Me Too era.
We love Love at Two Friend in a Pod. We mention the new Australian Bachelorette, starring Brooke Blurton, our first queer and Indigenous lead. Also, a congrats to the newest addition to the Kardashian/Jenner clan, Travis Barker, with the recent announcement of his engagement to Kourtney Kardashian.
Frances also mentions Touch Your Heart (2019), a Korean romance drama that’s about an actress who must work as a secretary to a lawyer to prepare for a role. It’s all sorts of fluffy romance and hits all the romantic comedy tropes we love in a Korean drama.
We also discuss Black Widow (2021), which we’ve been waiting for ever since the introduction of Black Widow into the Avenger’s scene. It’s a great action flick that sits perfectly fine within the Marvel universe but works as a stand-alone as well.
Tangents include Halloween, Starbucks and mugs.

Welcome back to another spooky episode! This week we watched Practical Magic (1998), starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. It was critically panned when released but now a cult Halloween classic and it's mixed bag of romance/ comedy/fantasy/family drama/horror. The real winner for us is Nicole Kidman’s hair stylist, who gives us the curtain bangs of our dreams, and the real loser is not calling a lawyer when you’re involved in a crime.
We’re also discussing our experiences with games and gaming culture, coming from two people who don’t have a huge amount of experience in this area except for playing The Sims, Animal Crossing and Tetris. We watched Free Guy (2021), a fun comedy starring Ryan Reynolds in which he plays a NPC who discovers he is living in a video game. We also talk about Monster Hunter (2020), based on the popular game of the same name.
We also mention House of The Dragon, a Game of Thrones prequel due to come out in early 2022. We left the GOT finale feeling underwhelmed but that won’t stop us from checking out the premier for this new series.
In addition, Disney released a trailer for their upcoming animated film Encanto and we can’t wait - directed by Bryan Howard (Zootopia, Tangled) and music by Lin Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Moana). Seems like a formula for success to us!

Boo!
It's the first week of Spooky Season and we’re starting it off with the chilling Carrie (1986), adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name. We delve into what makes this a classic and navigate through the movie in all its pig-blood soaked glory. Digressions include the importance of sex education (at school and the Netflix series) and channeling bully energy into other endeavors.
We also mention Mom’s Spaghetti, a new restaurant that has opened in downtown Detroit in conjunction with Eminem himself and references the song “Lose Yourself”. We discuss the value for money and the appeal of vomit on sweaters.
Eminem is also in the headlines with the announcement of the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime show line-up which features Mr. Marshall Mathers well as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar. It’s a star-studded lineup that strays from the usual mainstream pop and rock acts of previous years. Just don’t ask us anything about football.
To round off the Music Corner, Twice have just released a new English single “The Feels” that we've got on repeat. Watch the MV here for an explosion of American high school / Y2K nostalgia.

This week we’re talking about the certified fresh Lady Bird (2017), starring Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Laurie Metcalf and Beanie Feldstein, and directed and written by Greta Gerwig. It’s a coming of age drama that offers us an authentic glimpse of adolescence as we follow Christine “Ladybird” McPherson, a senior at a Catholic high school in Sacramento, as she navigates life on the cusp of adulthood. Digressions include Marc by Marc Jacobs and The Wiggles.
We also mention Impeachment: American Crime Story (2021), the third installment of the anthology series and looks into the events leading up to Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the 90’s. It’s an interesting perspective, with Monica Lewinsky herself acting as a producer to help share her version of the story.
Alice mentions Sex Education, which is also into its third season on Netflix, which a refreshing teenage comedy that tackles important issues pertaining to individuality and expression of self and sexuality.
Frances mentions Nathan For You (2013-2018), a doco-reality series starring comedian Nathan Fielder. Nathan is a consultant who helps with struggling businesses, although not always successful. All three seasons are available for streaming on Paramount+.

This week we are reviewing the 2006 romantic comedy John Tucker Must Die, starring Jesse Metcalfe, Brittany Snow, Sophia Bush, Ashanti and Penn Badgley (from Gossip Girl). It’s about three girls from different cliques who find out they’ve been secretly dating the same guy so they recruit Kate, the new girl, to break his heart and exact revenge. Specifically, we’re dissecting how this movie held up upon re-watch in 2021 and its failure to deliver to the expectations of its name. Side digressions include the portrayal of sport and science lab scenes in teenage comedies.
We also mention Squid Game (2021), a South Korean drama on Netflix about people facing financial hardships who are invited to participate in a killer survival game to win a cash prize. Overall, it’s a thrilling watch but we must warn that it’s quite graphic. If you enjoyed Squid Game, we would also recommend Liar Game (2007) and Alice in Borderland (2020).
Frances also mentions Y: The Last Man (2021), a drama TV series based on a comic book by Brian K. Vaughan. The series focuses on a post-apocalyptic world where all mammals with a Y-chromosome are killed except for one man and his pet monkey. Look out for this one on Binge (if you’re in Australia) for a week-by-week release.

On this week’s pod we’re starting with the announcement of Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy. The Internet has been abuzz for a while now with rumours of a younger sibling for Stormi and Kylie officially announced it last week via Instagram. Congrats to the expecting mum and also Kris Jenner!
We’re also giving our unsolicited opinion on the Met Gala, with this year’s theme being “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”. Listen in to hear us navigate the world of high fashion and fashion history (or at least attempt to) and hear our takes on the highlights and lowlights of the night.
As promised you can you read the Who, What, When, Where and Why of the Met Gala here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Met_Gala
We also review Juno (2007), starring Elliot Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman, a coming-of-age film about a teenage girl who unexpectedly falls pregnant and chooses a young couple to be the adoptive parents. We discuss our thoughts of this movie in light of the current political environment in America and how watching it with a mature lens gives us a deeper appreciation of its subject matter of motherhood and growing up.

Hi, it's us again!
This week on the podcast we are discussing Cinderella (2021), the newest interpretation of the Cinderella story exclusive to Amazon Prime, starring Camila Cabello, Nicholas Galitzine, Idina Menzel, Pierce Brosnan, Minnie Driver and Billy Porter. Don't get us wrong, we LOVE a Cinderella moment and with such a star-studded cast this movie was set up for success. However, with its poor characterisation, questionable song choices and failure to deliver on a socially progressive front, it's sadly a miss from us. We also refer to Cinderella Story (2004) with Hilary Duff and the live-action remake of Disney's Cinderella (2015), which is a faithful adaptation and has The Dress.
We also talk about Afterlife of the Party (2021), starring Victoria Justice, and is available on Netflix now. It tells the story of Cassie, who dies in an unfortunate accident and finds herself needing to fix her broken relationships before she can ascend into Heaven. It's highly predictable but will take you for an emotional ride, so bring the tissue box!
Frances mentions Julie & Julia (2009), starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. The movie intertwines the story of Julia Childs (Meryl Streep), the French culinary master, with Julie Powell (played by Amy Adams) a blogger who attempts to cook all 524 recipes from Child's recipe book. A must-see for anyone who appreciates the fine art of cooking and French cuisine.
And finally, a shout-out to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), which we'll watch once we're out of lockdown :)

Hellooo!
This week it's a battle between pronouns with He's All That (2021), a gender-flipped remake of She’s All That (1999), a showdown that nobody asked for but we are willingly partaking in. In He's All That, Addison Rae of Tik Tok fame plays an influencer challenged to makeover an unpopular boy to win back followers following a humiliating event. It's a little mediocre but the shortfalls are amplified when compared to the far more superior predecessor.
We also mention Cruella (2021) with Emma Stone and Emma Thompson, exploring the story behind Cruella De Vil of 101 Dalmatians. Watch it to see some wonderful costumes (but no fur!?), but we aren’t convinced this is the same villain we’ve come to know from previous iterations.
Ted Lasso, an Apple TV+ series, is firmly a favourite and comes highly recommended if you’re having lockdown blues and need a pick-me-up. Don’t worry if football isn’t your thing, it’s a sweet and heart-warming show with universal themes of teamwork and friendship.

Hello hello hello,
Bringing you a special episode of Two Friends in a Pod today. This was actually the first episode we recorded and pre-microphone, so we apologise in advance for the audio!
In this episode we touch on important topics such as the sizing of Mi Goreng but also the origins of this podcast and how we met. We reminisce on our first memorable experiences of each other and how sport (or lack thereof) plays such an important role in our friendship.
We're also comfortable talking legal jargon this episode, with our chosen movie being Legally Blonde (2001) and we look at the movie with 2021 lens.
In addition, Season 2 of Never Have I Ever came out on Netflix and if you are like us, consumed it all in one sitting. There's a lot to love this season, with more emphasis on Devi's friendships and her family. A critical questions though, are you Team Paxton or Team Ben?

Hello again!
On this episode we can't contain our excitement for the new Stray Kids album No Easy, which just dropped with a Thunderous entrance. They've been teasing fans for a while and it did not disappoint. We talk about how our commitment to the band led us to be late to a dinner and how our relationship to K-Pop has changed over the years.
If you aren't a STAY* yet, we deeply implore you to visit the following videos:
Gods Menu MV
Back Door MV

Frances mentions Olivia Rodrigo's Brutal MV, with Y2K inspired aesthetics and we love it, from the plaid mini skirts to the filters. It's then a slow spiral into our almost-30 year old identity crisis and we wonder why our age prevents us from wearing what we want to. God, it's brutal out here.
We are also talking about 27 Dresses (2008), starring a wonderful Kathryn Heigl, James Marsden and Judy Greer. Kathryn Heigl plays Jane, who is always a bridesmaid and never a bride (x27) and never failing to look cute, despite the amount of ruffles and taffeta thrown at her. If this was real life, Jane would 100% be raking it in as a Professional Bridesmaid. 27 Dresses is a sweet movie, and despite some of it's shortcomings hasn't aged as badly as we thought.

Hello! Welcome to the debut of Two Friends in a Pod, with your hosts Frances and Alice.
On today's episode, we're delving into The Kissing Booth 3 and it's predecessors. We ponder on why Jacob Elordi is being type-cast and the prevalence of characters such as Noah in teen romantic comedies. Whilst we try to be kind, it's safe to say that we are firmly in the Team Marco camp and we wrap up our final thoughts on the trilogy.
But first, Alice talks about Vivo, a cute and family-friendly animated movie on Netflix starring Lin Manual Miranda as a singing kinkajou! And for those who want to know a little more about what's happening with Britney and what the big deal is, check out Stuff You Should Know's episode Conservatorships: #freebritney.
Frances also discusses Brooklyn Nine-Nine's final season finally airing and how they're adapting their show to reflect public perception of the police force but how this might seem out of place in a workplace comedy. There is also a successful plea to watch The White Lotus, a riveting dark comedy where rich and entitled holiday-goers in Hawaii slowly implode...
Stick around to the end where we go on a tangent about how excited we are for the new Stray Kids album Too Easy. If you want to see Hyunjin and Bang Chan talk about their sub-unit song Red Lights in a hot tub, watch it here.
