This week, we deep dive into an 80's acid trip. Starring David Bowie (and his bulge, as an unpaid actor) and Jennifer Connelly. This movie is a childhood favorite for Courtney.

George Clooney stars in this post-apocalyptic, psychological.... Thriller? Something has gone down on earth, we never find out what, but something bad.

After all the fan fare regarding Baby Girl, we decided WE too wanted to a part of it. This 2024 Erotic Thriller stars Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, Harris Dickinson and Sophie Wilde. The cinematography, the acting A+, 10/10. The storyline? Didn't hit the way we thought it would. At the end of the day, he's STILL AN INTERN and YOU'RE STILL HIS BO…

Jail, All Of You (Movie Recap, Miller's Girl) 1:01:14

9M ago1:01:14

1:01:14

This week's recap stars Jenna Ortega as a child cosplaying adult games with actual adults. Sure she's 18, but I think we can all agree that 18 year olds are honorary adults at best. To be honest, even the adults in this movie don't act like it, we got two almost pedophiles, an alcoholic author and parents who thought it would be a good idea to leav…

It's A Girlhood-Com (Movie Recap, Uptown Girls) 1:20:29

9M ago1:20:29

1:20:29

We're really loving the nostalgia lately. This week's deep dive features a delightfully young Dakota Fanning and the forever quirky Brittney Murphy. Courtney and Rose again realize that the love interest in these Rom-Coms are just NPCs for a subplot that doesn't even matter. The men were actually wholly unnecessary. Which tracks, if we're being hon…

Cameron Diaz returns to acting with Jamie Foxx in this week's recap. They go from banging their CIA partners (each other, duh) to beating the shit out of creepy dudes in clubs hitting in their teenage daughter. It's been about 15 years, but they still got it. And blow their cover in the process. Spy comedies are always a good time, and this one is …

Delusional Derby (Movie Recap, Whip It) 56:22

This recap of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut starring Elliot Page is a dangerous one for Rose and Court. The vibes, the aesthetics, the rage- it made us think we too, could be Roller Derby Girls. We can't, for the record. But we adored this coming of age film. As former 17 year old girls AND as women who are... No longer 17.…
