Around the Christmas trees and surrounded by uncanny felt dog ornaments, Sydney and Shannon ring in the PAWliday season with THE 12 DOGS OF CHRISTMAS. A newsie cap-wearing pre-teen is shipped off to stay with her father’s estranged ex-lover in a town that is FOOTLOOSE but dogs—oh, and it’s also the Great Depression. What makes a dog orphan? How do you determine whether something is a miracle or it’s just something that happens? Wil...

It’s Turkey Lurkey Time!  While you are going around the table saying things to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, remember to thank Sydney and Shannon for bringing you another holiday episode. FREE BIRDS has it all: time traveling turkeys, mild racism, and half the cast of Star Trek. Do we have pizza clairvoyance? When will the two buff turkeys finally give in to their outstanding chemistry and make out? Is the PAWdcast accidental...

Shannon and Sydney welcome CoComelon Live star, Taylor, to enjoy a movie best viewed on a Sunday morning alongside fellow sober adults. LYLE, LYLE, CROCODILE is a confusing yet musical romp through NYC, where everyone knows Lyle is Shawn Mendes, but no one knows who Lyle is as a character. Does stage fright go away when the cops are watching? What is the most interesting animal you can fit under your hat that you can afford right n...

Boo! It’s a surprise HOWLoween episode! Haunted by a cursed painting, Shannon and Sydney chat GOOD BOY, a horror movie from the perspective of the goodest boy, Indy the dog, who’s absolutely going through it. Why aren’t more people listening to the song “Dog Train” from the album “Dog Train?” Did the Cornell horses actually dress up at ghosts, or is that something we imagined? What is Bluey’s gender LGBT? Please excuse Sydney’s con...

Nicole Sydney and Nicole Shannon welcome Not-Nicole Daniel to discuss PADDINGTON and its titular British bear who quickly wins over the hearts of everyone who lays eyes on him with his little jacket and hat. Is marmalade actually the second coming of Jesus Christ? How long until Sydney’s dad burns down their house with his backyard tiki torches? When will we finally get to see Paddington ride in a Waymo? Fun fact: Daniel has a swoo...

Buckle your seatbelts and find the nearest emergency exit—Pilot Sydney & Snake Shannon invite you to experience SNAKES ON A PLANE, a movie about a bunch of snakes that are on a plane. Here, Samuel L. Jackson gives a magnum opus of a performance as an FBI man who fights snakes but contractually cannot be any closer than 25 feet away from one. Is anything more horrific than having to decide on a silly face for a “silly face” grou...

Welcome back to the PAWlywood PAWdcast...or should we say welcome "bark?" Sydney & Shannon kick off the new season with a scurry of squeaky, singing chipmunks we all know and love, though we love their unhinged music manager played by David Cross even more. Which TikTok songs would the chipmunks use their helium-balloon voices to incoherently cover in 2025? What magical version of LA do the chipmunks live in where it ...

Scooby BOO! Sydney & Shannon are rounding out HOWLoween by watching SCOOBY DOO 2: MONSTERS UNLEASHED with special guest Nick. This movie has everything from cancel culture commentary to jousting ghost knights to existential crises for everyone but good old Fred. Where can we get a mystery machine limousine to ride through "Coolsville" to get to the "Coolsonian?" Is Matthew Lillard our generation's Jim C...

Sydney & Shannon’s HOWLoween spectacular continues with PET SEMETARY (1989). A campy, slapstick horror romp, we’re haunted and hunted by both an undead toddler in Victorian garb and a cat that’s literally just being a cat. Should they have given Judd subtitles to help us understand any of his dialogue? Is Stephen King from Whoville? Do all men go out for a hamburger or a chicken dinner when left alone?  Stop shilly-shallying an...

Happy HOWLoween! To kick off the celebration, Sydney & Shannon trick or treat with the SPOOKY BUDDIES. They're small, they're silly, and they're saving the day through a Harry Potter-esque duel of farts. Why didn't they let B-Dawg do an original rap song? Could this have been Frankie Jonas' big break? Which Spice Girl would each buddy be? We think they should all be Baby Spice.

Live from Shrek in the Outback Steakhouse parking lot, Sydney & Shannon review STRAYS. Full of morbid dog-film commentary and heartfelt moments marked by excrement, STRAYS may not be for kids but is perfect for you and your Pee-FFs. Does the U.S. Postal Service do billboards now? Will a dick-biting dog help someone leave an abusive relationship? If a movie doesn’t reference THE GODFATHER, is it even a movie? Unfortunately, that...

Sydney & Shannon invite MEG mega-fan Liam to share why he loves its sequel, MEG 2: THE TRENCH. From Fun Island to the titular Trench, these megalodons and their all-star ocean friends are ready to snack and slay. Are whales descended from deer? How many times can we talk about superhuman Jason Statham free-diving at 25,000 feet? Who wants to join our MEG book club? If we're going to get to the sequel where the Meg cures ca...

Sydney & Shannon sit down with STUART LITTLE aficionado Rohan and take a trip down memory lane marked by friends, family, and feline gangsters. Why do we all share Chuck E. Cheese-based childhood trauma? Can one be both a brother and a mouse? How many kids’ movies will we cover that reference THE GODFATHER? Cause it seems like everyone’s doing it.

Scientists Sydney & Shannon round out shark weeks with THE MEG. This MEGa-hit has something for everyone, from Rainn Wilson to Ruby Rose, and from Jason Statham to "a big shark." What song should have played during the MEGa shark buffet?  When will we finally get a shark heist movie? Is a submarine just an underwater train? If this is your first viewing, break a MEG!

Happy Shark Weeks! Sydney & Shannon kick off the holiday with the fourth JAWS movie, JAWS: THE REVENGE. With a widow psychically connected to a roaring shark with a silly smile, this movie sure is something. Did Michael Caine only sign onto this movie so he could hang out at the beach? If you're going to keep flipping up your sunglasses outside, why even wear them? What if Sydney was named "Quad"... what if she w...

Sydney & Shannon invite you to the Jellicle Ball with guests Avi & Noah...it's time for CATS! In an episode as chunky as Bustopher Jones and in outfits as fashionable as Rum Tum Tugger, we try to make sense of one of the most nonsensical movie musicals to date. Why did Judi Dench and Ian McKellen do this to themselves? Who would we send to the Heaviside Layer in an interactive version of CATS? Are the Jellicles a cult?...

Sydney & Shannon wrap up Sheep June with LAMB, where an Icelandic couple steals a a sheep/human baby and doesn't question its existence once. Why didn't the little sheep play the drums or sing a song? Which movie in the single-word-animal-title-cinematic-universe is the best? Is Bojack Horseman a minotaur? Technically, he might be. But we wish hadn't thought about it.

Sheep June continues with Sydney & Shannon's watch of BLACK SHEEP! It's got fetus lamb puppets, monster sheeple, and lots of stringy flesh - the three components of a perfect movie. Can vegetarians run faster than meat eaters? Will the Rapture consist of a stampede of precious, fluffy sheep? What was the brother trying to accomplish when he fathered a sheep and why did he do that in the first place? This movie is so b...

We laughed, we cried, and we sang along with Shaun and his British claymation friends in “The Big City!” Why is the dog catcher the villain in every kid’s animal movie? Have we ever seen an animal uglier than the rat dog thing? What movies make us cry and why is it PIGLET’S BIG MOVIE and HAPPIEST SEASON? We hope EWE enjoy!

Sydney & Shannon welcome Avi & Noah to the table to stumble through LOVE ON A LEASH. If you’re looking for a Lynchian(?) flick to enjoy on your next “friend night,” look no further than this waking nightmare. Was the dog’s voice over actor even shown the movie? How much green is too much green, how many years of editing is too many years of editing, and how many dutch angles are too many dutch angles? Where are the ladies a...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
