After quite a hiatus and an absolutely BONKERS start of the school year, Andrea and Melissa got back to recording! The Faculty brings together so much 90s nostalgia and major acting talent. We might not have known at the time, but the young stars working opposite some powerhouse actors make for some amazing scenes. If you loved this body s...
If you are a Gen Xer and don't remember desperately trying to check out the Scary Stories books from the library, are you even ok??? Just kidding. Sort of. Even if the books weren't your thing, you can appreciate the shock and awe of the illustrations done by Stephen Gammell. Andrea and Melissa definitely have a long-standing relationship with the books, but had not yet seen the ...
Picture it - a dark theater in 2008, full of ladies ready to swoon and a few drag-along audience members on an obligatory date night. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson proceed to bring to life the Young Adult novel with the famous apple on the cover. The fact that the vampires never sleep and sparkle in the sunlight may have had you rolling your eyes but neverthel...
Designated Ugly Fat Friend......a DUFF, if you will. This teen movie took the wingman concept and spun a new definition to help label the insecurity monster we all have had to face in one way or another. While Mae Whitman is hardly ugly or fat, she has the sarcasm delivery the role of Bianca Piper needs. This movie came out in 2015 and one o...

Anybody else miss concerts? Summer seems to bring the itch for live music, good friends, and warm air touching your skin. We've been through a long ye...
If we told you for every $1 you invest in a movie, you will make $10, 931 - would you support that project? Hell, yes!! Unfortunately, Andrea and Melissa do not have an opportunity like that to offer. Back in 1999, the creators of The Blair Witch Project didn't have an offer like that to make either. But as time would tell, the idea for an...
Cramming all the fun you should have had in high school into one night might be possible. In Olivia Wilde's Booksmart, Amy and Molly dare to make it happen. Finding out that your classmates are delightfully weird, genuinely clever, sometimes lonely, and definite...
Sometimes a story ends up being EPIC. We throw that word around a lot, now. Make no mistake about it, 1991's Thelma & Louise is truly an epic story. Andrea and Melissa were only 12 years old when Ridley Scott directed this movie. It was no surprise that this story was above their heads, at the time. It was truly exciting to revisit this movie with the eyes of gr...
Once upon a time, there was a golden age of teen horror movies. That time was the late 1990s. Sadly, they weren't all as brilliant as Kevin Williamson's Scream. Sometimes, we see success and say...."so, what else have you got?" Mr. Williamson had a script that was once rejected. Based on a teen novel by Lois Duncan, the movie I Know Wha...
Nothing says spring like a long-awaited day of perfect weather in Chicago. We could all use a day of leisure (taking a note from the king himself, Mr. Bueller) after this wild ride that has been 2020-21. Andrea and Melissa recorded this bonus episode pre-Covid19 and we would love to go back in time and reminisce...
The teen movie that came with SO MUCH SCANDALOUS HYPE. It was the kiss we were all talking about in 1999. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair made spittle cool. Cruel Intentions was the modern-day Dangerous Liaisons we didn't know we needed. Drenched in opulence, hormones, and tons of style, this film took the 90s teen movie wave to a new level....
Most of us had to study some Shakespeare in school. In 1999, it was cool to know a few of William's stories. The Taming of the Shrew is not one that Andrea and Melissa have ever had the chance to read, but it's all good because 10 Things I Hate About You came along and gave us the gist! This movie was all...
"How do we know that just by sitting here - by, by sipping this coffee, or breathing the air, or even crossing the intersection - that we haven't even started in motion the events t...
Sooooooooooooo.........New Year's Eve was very different this year. Covid19 has parties squashed, but that is no reason you couldn't find a way to ring in 2021 with some fun! Andrea and Melissa joined this virtual NYE set in the 80s ,by digging ou...
Dysfunctional families. We've all got experience with them. Holidays are usually the best catalyst to amplify those dysfunctions. Add a new person/guest into the mix, and you have a recipe for lots of antics to ensue. For this episode, Melissa introduced Andrea to The Family Stone from 2005. There are some pretty big name actors in this cast but the movi...
One of us saw this movie, one of us didn't. We both watched The Notebook for this episode and we have THING TO SAY. Join Andrea and Melissa as they try to get into Nicholas Sparks' summer romance that was all the rage in 2004. Did their hearts flutter in all their sappy glory...
Sorry, Mr. Rosenberg, STOP torturing poor Katie Holmes with this nonsense. "Razor" never took as new teen slang and didn't sound nearly as clever as it may have looked on paper. Back in 1998, the film Disturbing Behavior brought Stepford Wives to high school? Yep. You remember. The grunge kids versus the preppies meets mind-altering brain treatments by a misguided doctor....
