Split Happens
Split Happens is a movie podcast hosted by sisters, Katrina Porter and Anna Serene. Each episode we fully synopsize and discuss a movie both of us love and one of us gets to defend the movie, while the other has to attack it.
Episodes
Be prepared to have the theme song of this movie stuck in your head because we're talking this week about the sweet, 1978 sports romance film, Ice Castles!
Starring Lynn-Holly Johnson in her first role, the dreamy Robby Benson, the absolutely wonder Colleen Dewhurst, good friend of the podcast Tom Skerritt, and the golden-locked beauty Jennifer Warren.
KATRINA is the PRO this week and she's bringing some...
Take off, hoser! This week we’re celebrating our friends up north with the most Canadian movie we can think of, 1983’s Strange Brew! Seriously, not all Americans have lost their minds! Starring, written, and directed by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas…this movie has EVERYTHING. World dominating plots involving mind-controlling beer, a super pissed off dog painted like a skunk, laser effects…everything!
ANNA is the PR...
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY! We thought this year we'd cover a movie no one would guess we'd do, 1997's Anaconda.
Do you hate this movie and think it's ridiculous? Same! But because we love you all and also torturing ourselves, we'd go deep into the Amazon rainforest with creepy Jon Voight as our guide and conquer the movie we both despise.
KATRINA is the PRO this episode, which is somehow wors...
Break out the stillsuits and Water of Life because we are wrapping up our March Movie Madness with the Adaptations region, by celebrating David Lynch's Dune!
KATRINA is the PRO and she takes a deep dive into the sands of planet, Arrakis with tons of trivia and you're not gonna believe what she learned about some of the costumes! You're not gonna want to miss this one!
ANNA is the CON and nerding out abou...
Reach for the skyyyyyyy, because this week is all about 1995's Pixar OG--Toy Story! For our third round of March Movie Madness, you chose ANIMATION so we are diving into the origins of Pixar, casting, difficulties with animation, and much more as we cover this beloved movie.
KATRINA is the PRO of this episode and she has lots of trivia to lull Anna into a false sense of safety, and she's given herself a self-...
Movie Madness continues this week with the DUOS region, and the winner is Harrison Ford and pointing his finger! We're covering 1989's brilliant third installment in the Indiana Jones franchise: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!
ANNA is the PRO and she's itching for a button push from Katrina. Will this be the episode? And in a movie highlighting the Indiana Jones origin story, it seems only appr...
You voted and we listened! Thank you all for voting which movies you wanted us to cover, and we’re starting off our Movie Madness with the Director region. Stephen Spielberg took the prize by a mile, so 1993’s Jurassic Park, it is. We’re heading down to Isla Nublar to discuss this iconic blockbuster and and maybe have one or two tequila shots. Or possibly more, it’s hard to say. Enjoy the episode and let us know what ...
All. Bets. Are. Off. This week we’re celebrating Katrina’s wedding anniversary and she chose Guy Ritchie’s brilliant dark comedy—Snatch! Katrina comes with a briefcase full of trivia. Like how did Brad Pitt end up in the film? And what’s with his accent?
KATRINA-is the PRO and she will get a button push from Anna no matter what. Even if she has to threaten Anna with fake guns and hungry pigs.
ANNA-is the CON ...
Grab a fedora and a pie because it’s time to talk about 1976’s Bugsy Malone! This is an absolute favorite for Anna and Katrina and we don’t wanna hear any guff about it!
This utterly charming musical from first time director, Sir Alan Parker, has everything—200 child actors, songs written and performed by the brilliant Paul Williams, SPLURGE GUNS….everything! We truly hope you’ll enjoy this one and if you want to watc...
Anna and Katrina, Katrina and Anna. While they are technically not two of the 80's biggest action stars, they were alive in the 80's, and watched a lot of action movies. Including the movie they are covering this week, and this movie has everything! Rats in a maze for absolutely no reason. Actors willy nilly changing their accents. A slinky. Social commentary on the need for prison reform. Everything! Please...
Do you love horror movies with a hero who is a rockin non-conformist that can't wait for a gaggle of preppy pricks to get their comeuppance? And also, Gene Simmons as a disc jockey, Ozzy Osbourne as preacher, and acclaimed Solid Gold dancer Tony Fields (RIP) as a recently crispified and mostly deceased hard rock idol? You might think this sounds like a fever dream, but it is actually 1986's Trick or Treat!!...
It's our 2nd to last spook-tober episode for 2024, and if you are a demon disguising as a human this one is going to scare the spirit out of your soul-less corpse! This movie is so good Matthew McConaughey is better than all right, all right, all right. Sorry, it was right there. And Powers Boothe as Special Agent Wesley Doyle? Yes, please! Enjoy Bill Paxton's directorial debut, 2002's Frailty!
Wanna plaaaaaaay..........our latest episode? Will you be our podcast friend till the end? C'mon, these hints are gold. Plus, we give you the name of the episode at the top, so you kind of go into this with an advantage. The Split Happens sisters can't think of anything that gets you more in the mood for spooktober than an adorable, albeit homicidal foul mouthed doll with an unending un-alive list. We are th...
A movie about furry little creatures from outer space causing a ruckus? Have the Split Happens got the repeater going on? Heck no, it isn't Christmas, it's spoooooooky season! That means they are covering the movie about the OTHER movie about furry little creatures from outer space that cause a ruckus. Specifically, ruckus creatures from 1986. Specifically called Critters.
ANNA is the pro-and she is...
We are kicking off our month of spoooooky episodes with a suspenseful, supernatural, spirit filled gem. This movie has everything: An 80's soap opera star; enough Aqua Net to destroy the ozone layer; gum; a Ouija board; a possessed spirit who may or not be a pissed off 10yo.........everything!!!!! Enjoy 1986's Witchboard!
KATRINA IS THE PRO-and even though there isn't much trivia for this movie...
Is that a dragon in your pocket or..........hey, knock it off! This is a podcast that is only MARGINALLY inappropriate when covering children's movies, and boy do we have a doozy for you! Do you like dragons, and songs, and orphans, but not overly fond of dragons from outer space, or just don't trust Sheb Wooley in general? Same! Look no further than 1977's fire breathing heart warmer Pete's Dragon...
Hey!! Who wants to be able to perform complex facial reconstruction surgeries without going to medical school??!! To quote the hot European lady from Super Troopers, "I do, I do!!!". Better yet, what if we said we have an episode about a movie that is so cuckoo bananas it needed not ONE, but TWO action stars? Enter dancing queen himself Sir John Travolta and "nepotism makes me sick but the Godfather is ...
If something is happy the first time, isn't it happier the 2nd time? Us twice married people think so (Katrina, that is), so we thought, "Hey us, why don't we try re-recording an episode that people seem to love, and put that theory to the test?"! Except this time Katrina is the pro, and Anna is the con! Genius! Get ready for the swashbuckling romp that is 1982's The Pirate Movie!

Anna and Katrina decided that there are just not enough podcasts about a benevolent animated fox and the grown human women (woman) who have developed feelings for said fox, and these women (Anna) need their (hers) voices heard! Please join us as we take a not creepy at all trip down memory lane as we discuss 1973's Disney classic, Robin Hood!
ANNA-is obviously the pro because she would have it no other w...
