Lifewine Podcast

This week, we celebrate the birthday of our own personal bad movie connoisseur, occasional guest host, and unfaltering ride-or-die bestie: Kris M! Kris has supported the show since the very beginning (if you’re looking for someone to blame), so we are honoring him with a movie that stars his favorite leading lady, Tara Reid. In DEVIL’S POND (2003), we learn that it’s never a good idea to marry someone you barely know, especially if...

You’re traveling through another dimension; a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of morbid humor, irreverent commentary, and psychological dysfunction. Next stop: The Lifewine Zone! In THE PERFECT TEACHER (2010), starring Megan Park, David Charvet, and Boti Bliss, we disentangle our collective consciousness, intertwine parallel universes, and question each other’s existence. Oh, and f...

The Trinity needed to take a small break from their recording schedule, so this week we are sharing last month’s Patreon-only episode, FEAR STREET: Part One – 1994. We apologize for having to take a knee, but we’ll be resuming our regular schedule next week to bring you episode 87. Thanks for understanding, we love you! (and you’re fine)  We are so excited for scary movie season that we’re starting it in August! In the months leadi...

For the next installment in our back-to-school compendium, we present 10 YEAR REUNION (2016) starring Kacey Clarke, Kayla Ewell, Jillian Nelson, and Anya Engel-Adams. After five high school besties create their pre-graduation time capsule, the one who holds the only key mysteriously dies. A decade later at their reunion, one of the friends sets out to unearth each other’s secrets, only to learn that this may be a deadly undertakin...

You think the United States’ justice system is warped? Italy says, “Hold my chianti!” In AMANDA KNOX: MURDER ON TRIAL IN ITALY (2011), starring Hayden Panettiere, Marcia Gay Harden, and Vincent Riotta, we meet an American exchange student who finds herself the indagato principale in a sloppily handled murder case. We get melancholy at life, angry at wrongful convictions, and we desperately try not to think of Zach’s grey hole.    <...

This week, we delve into a veritable trope-o-copia of overacting, confusing relationships, and muddled motivations…but enough about your Lifewine hosts! Join us as we descend into A DANGEROUS DATE (2018), starring Jillian Murray, Brianna Joy Chomer, and David Chokachi. There is so much to love about this film that we almost had to make it a two-parter! Plus: Foreplay names, Rachel is a muse, and we’re kicking off the first chain le...

Fact: In the Lifetime Movie Network universe, the 1990’s didn’t end until the late 2000’s. Proof: A LOVER’S REVENGE (2005), starring Alexandra Paul, William Moses, and Gary Hudson. A psychopath with too many names blames his battered wife’s unexpected death on the local radio psychologist. Also, Stephanie still hasn’t seen The Wire, Rachel still hates Quentin Tarantino, and Zach blames his intestinal distress on the truffles.  

In honor of Lifetime Movie Network’s 31st anniversary (and Lifewine’s two-year anniversary as a podcast!) we’re discussing the very FIRST Lifetime movie: MEMORIES OF MURDER (1990), starring Nancy Allen, Robin Thomas, and Vanity. This inaugural effort has no lack of our favorite tropes, confusing character motivations, or remarkably conspicuous late-80’s fashion choices. Don’t forget to remember to listen to this one! 

This week, Stephanie and Rachel’s childhood PTSD is triggered as they examine LETHAL SOCCER MOM (2018), starring Sarah Grey, Christina Cox, and Tanya Clarke. Some parents will stop at nothing to ensure their child is the very best at what she’s being forced to do! We  ask movies to stop showing vomit, discuss a fascinating phenomenon that causes one to permanently lose their talent overnight, and Auntie Rachel doles out advice. Our...

Even the Trinity needs a break now and then…so this week, we’re sharing our Patreon episode from March of this year, I CARE A LOT (2020), starring Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, and Eiza Gonzalez. Sometimes art is provocative, and sometimes it just pisses people off. When that happens, Lifewine will be there to bridge the gap! We’ll dive into the reasons behind the backlash while also unpacking the many positive qualities about the...

Lifewine Podcast presents our greatest train wreck yet! Bestowed with a surprise scheduling misinterpretation, we shift gears mid-summary and even trade identities as we discuss ESCAPING DAD (2017), starring Sunny Mabrey, Trevor Donovan, and Jason Wiles. We Rock/Paper/Scissors our way through the Reverse Stapler and attempt to forget the Diamond Trifecta as we ring in Father’s Day early. Try as you might, there’s no escaping the Li...
