I Can't Believe You Haven't Seen...

Matt read this book way, way, waaayyyyyy back in the day (old man jokes!), this this initial film adaptation from 2005 was never one he sought out. He would probably blame this on fantasy just not being his genre, but Jess isn't high on the genre either and she still watched the film when it came out. Either way, he's out of excuses now!

Jess isn't new to Martin Scorsese movies, but Goodfellas had eluded her. This is a bit surprising, given how fascinated she is with true stories AND organized crime, but now she fully understands why you should never tell Joe Pesci that he's a funny guy...

We get to talk about unions, fourth wall breaks, the "right way" to do crime, and all the delicious food. You can listen in but just remember: never rat on you...

Steel Magnolias was HUGE in 1989 when it came out. Matt was only 7 years old, so he can perhaps be forgiven for not watching it then. His parents may not have approved of him hearing some of Ouiser Boudreaux's colourful language...

She was, however, very familiar with getting random songs and ad jingles stuck in her head for no good reason. Thankfully, this movie helped explain that! She felt seen...and attacked.

As you can imagine with a movie about our own emotions, she had all sorts of responses! She was wheeze-laughing less than 3 mi...

Despite growing up in the 90's, when Julia Roberts was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Matt had never seen My Best Friend's Wedding. He was not prepared for the amount of musical/singing numbers in store for him. Will we have to say a little prayer for him?

Matt has questions, Jess is fascinated, everyone wants more Rupert Everett, and they both work to unpack this cultural touchstone of romantic comedies in the lat...

Jess had not seen The Silence Of The Lambs. She knew the cultural references: the fava beans, the Italian wine varietals, the proper places for lotion to be put in. 

But now, she has seen it, and she has thoughts! Join us for our first episode where we talk about this legendary thriller, the amazing lead performances, it's gender roles, and whether or not any of the men in this film actually know how to do their jobs. Don'...
