What can we say that hasn't already been said? A true classic, starring Carey Elwes, Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, and Billy Crystal, to name a few.  So many iconic moments to discuss in a new light and some new ones we've never noticed before. We uncover some of the more […]

And yes, that's the title of the film, based on a book by William Styron. This wasn't a movie that Sophie picked for us to watch. Just to clarify. 🙂 Directed by Alan J. Pakula, it stars Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Peter MacNicol and could rival even Shakespeare's most tragic of plays. The story […]

With a “Mary Shelley meets Alfred Hitchcock” vibe, this Frankenstein story equal parts grossed us out and impressed us in its grotesqueness. (Sophie shares how many gallons of fake blood were used during Trivia.) Directed by Stuart Gordon, this film stars Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, and David Gale. All amazing! Oh, and Hans […]

We were overdue for an 80s cult classic. One of those “it's so bad, it's good” movies. But we weren't ready for Toxie. A B movie that inspired an entire franchise (and maybe influenced others).

Based on the book by John Updike, this 80s classic stars our main man Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

A “hypothetical WWIII” movie, we weren't sure what to expect. All we knew was that the cast was phenomenal. Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, and Darren Dalton star as teenagers who escape to the mountains of Colorado and end up defending their hometown. From quintessential Americana to our horrible […]

“I feel the need, the need for speed!” For real, Sophie has never watched “Top Gun”… until now. Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, Tim Robbins, and Tom Skerritt bring Director Tony Scott's vision to life in a truly iconic way. At first glance, the movie looks like any other bro movie, but […]

What happens when two sisters watch different versions of a movie they've never seen before? This. This is the result. The Outsiders, starring C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Tom Cruise, was directed by Francis Ford Coppola (which we pronounced correctly this time) and based on a […]
