Sleepover Cinema
Welcome to Sleepover Cinema, where we analyze the films that created the collective unconscious of the girls and gays of the late 90s and early 2000s. Hosted by sister filmmaking duo Hannah and Audrey Leach, also known as Too Pink Productions, Sleepover Cinema is an exploration of the movies that first inspired their love for film aimed at answering the question… are these movies actually good? And at the end of the day, do we really care if they are?

Oh, to be a GBF in 2013… a deeply unsavory task, according to this movie. Unsurprisingly, Hannah and Audrey both had beloved GBFs in high school, and this week we’re bringing them in to talk all things coming out, their high school lives, and all the cringe that came along with it.

Exploiting a seemingly toxic “friendship” that supported a multi-million dollar media empire, “Princess Protection Program” brought together two icons of the late 2000s Disney Channel era. Is it even a good movie though? You probably know the answer already.

In this Christian-flavored coming-of-age story, Terri (Hilary Duff) has a voice that guarantees a highly successful life in the musical spotlight… or at least we’re supposed to believe that. Trauma from a 3 Days Grace concert, ambient sax solos, and egregiously mediocre singing await!

Introducing an entire generation to the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the romanticization of their own suffering, “Perks” shows us that you can be hot, intelligent, and interesting and somehow still live on “the island of misfit toys.” A hugely meaningful movie to many, we try to tread lightly.

They’re the ONLY girls with a passion for fashion… they’re the Bratz, and they’re here in full low-budget CGI glory. A commercial of epic proportion, the girls became media moguls AND rock stars, all in under ninety minutes!

It turns out that all we need to unite our vicious two-party political system is gay dogs on both sides of the aisle. A movie stuffed with character regression, half-baked love for America, and gratuitous pink hair light… is it still worth watching? Was it ever? We dissect together.

Dust off your cruiser bike and your Urban Outfitters record player… we’re going back to 2009 with “500 Days of Summer.” We weigh in on “twee” culture, Zooey Deschanel’s legacy, and the ever-exhausting discourse surrounding this movie’s meaning.

A usual suspect of any ABC Family weekend lineup, “Bring It On: All or Nothing” is infamous, and not just for its haunting krumping scene featuring a VERY caucasian Hayden Panettiere. Icon and TikTokstress Bobbi of @theafternoonspecial joins us to dissect this deeply memorable product of 2006.

There’s a pretty high chance your memories of this movie feel more like half-recollected (and eerie!) childhood dreams… and for good reason. Our new bestie Tina Majorino (Alice) returns to talk about this star-studded 1999 spectacular.

The mid-aughts cult classic to end them all, 2004’s “Napoleon Dynamite” made a flipping awesome impression on its audience and on the indie comedy genre. Tina Majorino— AKA Deb, the girl with the side ponytail who drinks 1% milk— joins us to talk about this career highlight and much more, even dropping some very meaningful life advice along the way!
Trojan Horsing an extremely beautiful and nuanced story via an external shell of intergalactic mischief, “Lilo and Stitch” will rip your heart out and stomp on it without a second thought. This week, we go to a very earnest place.

In this VERY loose adaptation of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,” our beloved Amanda Bynes is Not Like Other (Freshman) Girls on her college campus. An exploration of greek life, nerd culture, and the horrors of all-male a cappella groups. Does it hold up? …What do YOU think?

Kicking off our fifth season, the classic 2006 DCOM “Read It and Weep” asks the essential question: what would YOU do if your incredibly shady, slightly fictionalized diary was leaked to the public and it somehow made you, a 14 year old, famous? There’s a lot to follow in this one, and we can’t wait to go down the rabbit hole with you.

If you haven’t been emotionally ravaged by 1997’s “Titanic” in someone’s basement, have you really lived? Coming from two people who owned the double-VHS of this epic, trauma-laden 11-time Oscar winner, we can tell you that it was an essential part of tween life. In our special season four finale, we shed tears, share LOTS of facts, and even reflect on how “Titanic” reflects The Human Condition. Let us be corny, okay?!
A movie whose misaligned marketing was nearly as lethal as its main character, 2009’s “Jennifer’s Body” has earned cult classic status for bisexuals internationally. Diablo Cody and Megan Fox are a match made in heaven, but how does this one hold up in 2022? Our bestie, deep listener of the pod, and merch designer Joey Donatelli joins us to discuss!
