#094. BEETLEJUICE (1988) NOSTALGIA -vs- NOVELTY
Airdate: September 20, 2023
Beetlejuice hit the screens in 1988. In another Nostalgia -vs- Novelty episode, our hosts discuss how viewing the ghost with the most for the first time compared to seeing it after many years. Do the hosts Jump in the Line to dance with joy or did they call for an exorcist? No matter what, do not say his name three times.

#093. ELEMENTAL (2023) REVIEW
Airdate: September 6, 2023
Elemental's trailer states "elements don't mix." But the film shows that air, water and earth blend just fine. Why is fire on the outskirts looking in? Does the film have a classic Pixar/Disney moral to the story that lands or falls flat? Forever Fangirls saw the film in theaters, but it launches on Disney+ September 2023.

#091. HAUNTED MANSION (2023) REVIEW
Airdate: June 28, 2023
Haunted Mansion comes to the big screen... again. Does it scare up enough nostalgia from the parks and a story that made it worth seeing? July seemed like an odd release date, as we expected something closer to Halloween. Forever Fangirls hit the theaters (instead of doom buggies) to see what the ghostly appeal of the film has.

Airdate: July 12, 2023
The Goonies (1985) gave us one of the most iconic line of the decade "Goonies Never Say Die." They never give up, but considering the age of the film, does that message still hold true today? Does Sheila, a new viewer, enjoy Goonies at all? Did the nostalgia of Kimberly's youth fade away when the ending credits rolled? Tune in to find out.

Prima Facie has come to Broadway after an award-winning run on the West End in London.

Yet, like one in three women, an event makes her question everything she's even known or believed in. The play and our review will discuss themes that m...
#083. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES (2023) REVIEW
Airdate: April 19, 2023
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is another attempt to bring the popular game to life. Chris Pine & Michelle Rodriguez star in this campy romp through the fantasy world filled with magic, owl bears, wizards and a straight laced Paladin. Does it live up to the trailer's hype or should the campaign end with only one installment?

#082. A GOOD PERSON (2023) REVIEW
Airdate: April 5, 2023
A Good Person stars Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman in a story about forgiveness, redemption and loss. With two powerhouses in the lead roles and Zach Braff behind the camera, would the film make its point or would the audience get lost in the weeds?

The highly anticipated series stars Pedro Pascal (Joel) and Bella Ramsey (Ellie) in a tale of infection, greed, and the fall of mankind. Did it live up to the hype surrounding it?

#080. 9 TO 5 (1980): NOSTALGIA -VS- NOVELTY
Airdate: March 8, 2023
Released in 1980, 9 to 5 boasted a powerful trio of women in leading roles. The film was groundbreaking for the time it was released, but does it still hold the same power decades later? Sheila's never seen the film. Kimberly has. This is the first installment of the Forever Fangirls Nostalgia - vs- Novelty series.
