Andy Sachs is not like other girls and she’s most certainly not like the girls who work themselves to the bone in the cut throat yet glamorous world of fashion. At least not yet.
Join Katie and Grace (and our special guest Ally) as we done our cerulean sweaters and attempt to claw our way to the top of the Runway food chain. All the while combating the domineering (yet iconic) working woman we all love to fear (and may or...
Ever find yourself at rock bottom and think that it can’t possibly get any worse? Well, just know that it can and Bridget Jones knows that better than most. She drinks too much, she smokes too much, her boss is sexually harassing her, and her love life is DOA (a fact every person she’s ever met has no problem reminding her of). Not to mention she’s over 30.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you this important message. *SPOILERS AHEAD*
The 80s cult classic Road House, starring the incomparable Patrick Swayze has been brought back to life. Resurrected, if you will. That’s right, folks! 35 years after Swayze blessed us with high kicks and even higher hair, Jake Gyllenhaal takes on the titular role of bouncer extraordinaire Dalton at the bar that has it all: ...

Join Katie and Grace as we try not to tear our hair out due to corporate frustration (and unsuccessfully try to understand this films wide-spread critical acclaim) in Working Girl (1988...
When you find yourself working for a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot who is willing to stop at nothing to keep you down, you don’t get mad, you get even.

As we close out Season 3, we'd like to talk about the Grim Reaper, falling head over heels in love, discovering a life worth living, and Brad Pitt’s iconic 90’s hairstyle. Turns out, burnout is not exclusive to the living workforce and even the Grim Reaper desperately needs some time off. Join Grace and Katie for the season 3 finale as we learn that life may become a little less grim if we are lucky enough to find a little th...
Interracial relationships, charged conversations around the dinner table, examining our own prejudices and love conquering all. Join Katie and Grace as we load our plates with passion, prejudice and love in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) and its remake(?) Guess Who (2005).

Remake (/rē’māk/) by definition means “make (something) again or differently” and Footloose was indeed made again, although it’s hard to say this remake was made any differently. Loose feet, strictly religious towns, and new kids rebelling against a ban on dancing. Join Grace and Katie as we dance our way through small town Bomont in Footloose (1984) and its remake Footloose (2011).
