There's no guilty in these pleasures. Every week we'll explore complex themes below the surface of our favorite fictional things. Deep thoughts featuring jokes, tangents, and celeb stories.
This week we're talking about one of Rosey's childhood faves Three Men and a Baby. Spoiler alert, but Avery loved it too. It holds up and we get into why and how. Is it the charming combination of Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Michael Guttenberg? Is it the safe fatherly energy? Is it the fact that the woman ask for what they want? All of the above? We also discuss our reactions to Barbie, Avery's enjoyment of the Wome...
This week we’re revisiting the “ground breaking” Lizzie McGuire (the series, we didn’t get as far as the movie…) It brings up lots of memories of our own middle school shenanigans, as well as an extensive meditations on the post office. Fun times.
Next week we’re taking a look at an 80s (cult?) classic Three Men and A Baby. This is another Rosey favorite, but new to Avery! We’re excited to get into it.

We're talking about The Devil Wears Prada. And oh, 2006 fashion, why? We dive into workplace politics, clothing we don't understand, and how crazy we'd be if we were as rich as Miranda. Also, Rosey spills some tea from her own crazy assistant days. Meanwhile, Avery watched a bunch of masochistic men and Rosey studied endlessly.

This week we’re covering the Robin Williams vehicle Mrs. Doubtfire. We discuss how to give and take in relationships, the legacy of the film regarding gender, how do films age, and transphobia. In what we’re watching, Rosey is fan-girling over Queer Eye and Avery, surprise surprise, is consuming more WWII content.

This week we're talking a look at Glow and reveling in all the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It's a really interesting look at gender expression, sexual identity, body image, racial stereotypes, and overall sense of self. We get a bit personal and go on an existential journey, but don't worry, it's not too heavy. Aside from Glow, Avery's been watching YouTube and Rosey has been madly studying Anatomy.

This week we're taking a SECOND look (because there's two of them!! get it) at the absolute classic that introduced one of our favorite actors to the world: The Parent Trap! This is Rosey's all-time childhood favorite, so you know we've got lots to say!
Next week we're reviewing GLOW season one. If you haven't seen it, it's well worth the watch.

It's time for our final week of month of Sandra! We are sad to see her go. We went out with a bang, with two real downers, but fun to talk about movies: Premonition and Bird Box. Premonition has a 6% on rotten tomatoes, so you can guess some our thoughts, but we have fun breaking it all down.
Next week we're diving deep into the recent release Daisy Jones And The Six, trying to make sense of an adaptation we did...
The Sandra stories continue. This week we're looking at Two Weeks Notice and 28 Days. They have nothing in common except Sandra and numbers in their titles. We talk about everything from toxic workplace "romance" to what really goes on in a rehab. We cheer and we jeer - these movies are conflicting. We've finished Daisy Jones and started Yellowjackets and we've got thoughts on both.
Next week we&ap...
This week we're doubling down for our second week of Sandra month, with the not-creepy-at-all While You Were Sleeping and the sort-of-creepy-but-mostly-confusing Practical Magic. We dive deep into both--endearing stalkers, quirky mishaps, feminist overtones, and more. Next week join us for our continuing tour de Sandra when we talk about 2 Weeks Notice and 28 Days.

This week we start our month of Sandra! We kick it off with Speed (1994) and The Lake House (2006) aka we kick it off with Keanu Reeves. We break them both down, despite enjoying one much more than the other, and get into flying busses, magical mailboxes, and the cringiest kisses we've ever seen. In addition to Sandra, Avery watched Narcos, Rosey watched Ted Lasso, and we both played a lot of Sims.
Next week we contin...
This week we're rocking out on Mike White/Jack Black's School of Rock! Spoiler alert: We love it. But also, kids need to learn math. In What We Watched, Rosey's into Bad Sister and we do a mini deep dive into The Last of Us's final episode (beware of spoilers just at the end of this episode). Next week we start our MONTH OF SANDRA with Speed and The Lake House.

This week we're talking about Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Spoiler alert, Rosey is not a fan. We dive into their fascinating romantic dynamic, how they're both incredible and awful at their jobs, and the plausibility of some of those action sequences. Then we go on a rant about the atrocity that is the Daisy Jones and the Six show on Amazon before talking about some reality tv shows Rosey is watching to avoid her feelings and ou...
This week we're diving deep into Netflix's Ginny & Georgia, and we've got a guest along for the ride! Our old college friend Taylor has joined to help us explore all the ways this show defies expectations, and is misunderstood by some. For what we watched, Taylor fills us in on Creed III with some minor spoilers, and Rosey is reading more romcoms.
Next week we're tackling the absolute classic Mr. a...
This week we dive into She's the Man. We have a hilariously good time going back to 2006 and reveling in the joy that is Amanda Bynes. It brings up way more questions about the gender and sexuality spectrums than we originally noticed, and we're here for... most of it. Rosey binged watched a show in one night yet didn't like it very much and Avery watched You and a random French movie.
Next week we have a gu...
Today we're talking My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Have you tried putting some windex on it?

This week we're diving into the psychedelic mind-bender Everything Everywhere All At Once. We talk about intergenerational trauma, mother-daughter relationships, and hot dog hands. For what we're watching, Rosey catches us up on The Teen Wolf movie and Avery's actually listening to books! Remember books?
Next week join us for a deep dive on the British show Misfits.

This week we're looking at 1989's When Harry Met Sally. Avery was so enthralled, she didn't take a single note, but we've still got a lot to say. It's a delightful journey and we're pleasantly surprised that this movie holds up pretty well. We were both left charmed and full of hope and who doesn't need that?
Next week we're looking at the award winning and award nominated Everything...
This week we're talking Brendan Frasier bod (and the sacrifices required for said bod) and other stuff related to 1997's George of the Jungle. There's zany hijinks and surprisingly dark and/or woke subtext. Join us on our romp through the urban jungle of San Francisco!
Next week we're doing a little detour into Valentine's Day content (maybe unexpected for us?) and taking a look at 1989's Whe...
We're back! This week we're reflecting on what we watched in 2022. Avery and Rosey both made lists of their favorites from the year (lists below). We also recorded our disappointments but had some technical difficulties. That list is also below. We also take a peek at what's coming in 2023 that we're excited about.
SPOILER ALERT for the shows on the "best of" lists below.

This week we're looking at the holiday hit, Home Alone. Avery's never seen it and Rosey's seen it many times so it's a fun look at the genius of the movie and all the parts that don't make sense. This movie is still pretty good and we also think it's a secret ad for milk.
We're taking some time off for the December times and we'll be back in January!
