Maybe the pairing of just Dallas and Cassie isn’t as rare as we thought. Even though Cassie is the gamer girl of the podcast, ironically Dallas is the one who watched the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. If colorful video game movies aren’t your speed, we’re also talking about Shrinking, the Apple TV traumedy about therapy! Are the therapists on Shrinking any good at their jobs? Which iconic Black tv show did Cassie watch 10 minutes of this week? Did Yoshi […]

We got the rare pairing of just Dallas and Cassie today!

And does Doechii’s music automatically make action scenes better? Tune in to explore these […]

Happy Fancast Friday! It’s been a while since we’ve been able to say that, but we’re back in the fancast game. And today we’re fancasting a movie that’s turning 30 years old this year, The Hunchback of Notre Dame! Was this movie too dark for Disney’s demographic? Is Frollo the horniest Disney villain? Were you also a little shocked when you realized this movie is old enough to have inexplicable back pain? Come join our festival of fools and fancast […]

Hello and happy Black History Month! We’re celebrating with some representation in the form of Wonder Man! Disney might not be giving it the shine it deserves, but we will!

Find out the answers to these questions and more as we start our Black History Month! Thanks for listening! Time StampsOpening – […]

We’ve made it to the end of another Year in Review! Today’s the day when we get to look at the movies coming up and get excited, worried, or cautiously optimistic.

And who’s going to tell Dallas that Robert Downey Jr. isn’t actually playing MF DOOM? Look […]

It’s day four of our Year in Review, and that means it’s time to bring all of our different music tastes together and have a musical show and tell!

Rian Johnson is back, y’all! And what we’re not gonna do is miss a Rian Johnson movie. Especially when it’s Knives Out. We love a good mystery around these parts.

We’re mid spooky season, so it’s time to talk about some zombies! If that’s not your thing, we’ve got superheroes (the non zombified kind), a J Lo musical, and the newest movie to warn us about the dangers of AI and eventually have those dangers be ignored.

We’ve gotten a couple iterations of Marvel’s first family, but thanks to Disney devouring everything like Galactus, they’re in the MCU now! Does this movie feel like a live action Incredibles? Is it the best Fantastic Four movie we’ve gotten? And when it comes to CGI babies, how far removed are we from the days of Twilight: Breaking Dawn? Join our found family as we discuss all these questions and more! Thanks for listening! Time StampsOpening – 0:00The Fantastic Four: […]

Our reviews this week are all about fighting crime! We got Ironheart fighting crime with an iron suit, Charlie Cale fighting crime with lie detection, and Superman fighting crime with pretty much every other superpower. Did James Gunn get Superman right? Is this our thirstiest review in a while? Are superheroes too woke these days? No, silly. Listen to us dive into all these questions (except that last one) and more! Thanks for listening! Time StampsOpening – (0:00)Poker Face season […]

The big blue Boy Scout is back! But before we see what James Gunn did, it’s only right that we take it back to the Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve version. Dallas and Cassie are watching another 70s movie! This time it’s a first time watch! Does this classic movie hold up almost 50 years later? Will we get to play another game of “count the Black people”? And who knew Lois Lane was so thirsty? Fly in and watch […]

Tell your inner child we’re talking about robots, dinosaurs, and immortal warriors this week! We’re also discussing The Bear, so if you were really into culinary arts as a kid (maybe you had an Easy Bake Oven?), your inner child will be fed as well. Did M3gan go full T2 this time? Is there an episode of The Bear that’s actually happy this season? And do we all go to the Jurassic movies for the dinosaurs? And when does homoerotic […]

We have SO MANY reviews today! Three movies and three TV shows. For those keeping score, that’s half a dozen things to review in this one episode. Wild.

And what does Demi mean when she says Dallas is a fan of Hayley Atwell’s “assets”? Listen to this jam-packed episode to find out! Thanks for listening! You […]

Thunderbolts* is out! It’s the movie Demi has been waiting for for the last seven years! And it’s more depression centered than the average superhero movie, we can tell you that much. What is the asterisk for? Why does Kevin Feige hate Taskmaster so much? Did the Thunderbolts really save the world with the power of friendship? And where is Gaby when it’s time to thirst over Florence Pugh? Join our team as we dive into all this and more! […]

We know we’ve been gone a minute, but we have an excuse, we swear… You just gotta listen to find out. But we’re coming back with reviews for some pretty entertaining movies. Is Sinners already the movie of the year? And why is it so damn horny? And find out why our excitement for The Accountant 2 wasn’t as high as we thought it’d be? And how many trailers can we really talk about in an episode? Tune in and […]

What may be the most controversial movie of 2025 is finally here and we’re here to say… it’s not really worth all of the vitriol. Is Rachel Zegler truly the fairest one of all when it comes to playing Snow White? Can Gal Gadot even sing? Do we trust Disney to bring back Power Rangers? And will the Doctor get that nurse home in the new season of Doctor Who?! Join Demi and Cassie as they eat the Disney apple […]

We actually made it to 300 episodes! Tradition dictates that at every 100 episode milestone, we play a trivia game!

Is it…nothing? Tune in to find out and play along! Thanks for listening! Time StampsOpening – (0:00)Trivia Game – (5:50)Reflecting on the Game – (33:40)Outro – […]

And if Xaddy has picked up steam, can Mommy […]

As always, we’ve got a lot to look forward to when it comes to the next year of movies. And always, who knows which movies are actually even gonna come out this year?

Does Hugh Jackman still have it in him after 24 years as Wolverine? Is Ella Purnell the MVP of video game adaptations right now?

We’re ending our year with a big one! This is our last episode until we start the new year with our 2024 Top 10 lists! And with that being the case, we made sure to all be present for y’all this time! Did Denzel make any guarantees in Gladiator II? Did Arcane season two hold with up season one?

And who’s the ghost who can suck the soul outta you? Tune in to hear us discuss all this and more! Thanks […]

We’re back with another Double D episode! Triple D actually! Dallas, Demi, and Disney! As expected, we always have something to be excited about when Disney gets in their bag. Is Demi a Disney shill?

Much to our delight, Deadpool & Wolverine has finally arrived in record-breaking fashion, as expected. On the TV side of things, much to Dallas’ delight, Hit-Monkey season two is out! Unfortunately, Dallas might be the only person watching it. (Hulu please don’t cancel Hit-Monkey). Is Deadpool & Wolverine everything we hoped for? Is anyone else out there watching Hit-Monkey? And how many euphemisms does Deadpool know for doin’ coke? Suit up and join us as we dive into all that […]

We’re back again with a Double D edition of the podcast! Dallas and Demi are talkin’ superheroes, Star Wars, and serial killers. Is The Boys hitting a little too close to home this season? Is The Acolyte too colorful for the toxic side of the Star Wars fandom? And who’s the newest actor on Dallas’ “lock ‘em up” list? And will they hit the thirst quota?! Tune in to for a Double D Deep Dive on all that and more! […]

The (bad) boys are back in town! And so is Pixar’s tendency to hit us right in our emotions! Two movies that couldn’t be more different, and Demi saw both, Dallas saw one, Cassie saw neither, and Gaby’s not even here! Business as usual! Is the Bad Boys franchise still in good shape after three decades? Does the new Inside Out hit a little too close to home with anxiety? And what movie has Cassie gettin’ back in her furry […]

We’re almost 300 episodes in, so it was about time we tried out doing interviews, right? Our guest today is a friend of the show, and yes we say that about lots of people who don’t actually know us, but this guy is an actual friend of the show! He’s a DJ, a music producer, and an independent artist. If you’ve seen Gen V, you’ve heard his song “Body Talk” in the FIRST episode! It’s DJ D’Auria! Check out our […]

We’re back, after another inexplicable month long break! This time we’re coming back with apes, imaginary friends, and X-MEN! Demi covers the movie reviews this time, because all Dallas has been thinking about is X-Men ‘97. Meanwhile, Cassie continues exploring her spooky side with a 10 Minute Take! Will Cassie ever finish The Midnight Club? Is IF related to Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends? And WHY did Beau DeMayo get fired??? Join us as we explore all these questions! Thanks […]

There were only TWO hosts available for today’s episode and you’ll never guess which ones. We’re on a covert mission (not really) to review Guy Ritchie’s latest movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare! Is it possible that Guy Ritchie has made one of the best movies AND TV shows of the year? How does he make so many movies so fast? Why do the ghosts of Henry Cavill’s career haunt this episode? And is there a Superman out there for […]

We got action! Demi’s reviewing Monkey Man, Demi and Dallas are reviewing Invincible, and Dallas is talking about X-Men ‘97 AGAIN! Also, Gaby’s declaring her beef with Drake and Cassie’s watching the show that introduced us to him. And Gaby’s turning the podcast into BookTok! Was the second half of Invincible season two worth the four month wait? Was Monkey Man worth all of Dev Patel’s injuries? Will Dallas ever make it through another episode without bringing up X-Men ‘97? […]

We’re back! We’ve been gone for a month, but we’re back! Did you notice we were gone? Please say you noticed we were gone! Anyway, Godzilla and Kong are back at it again!

Is one of us into monsters in a way that the others aren’t? […]

The spice must flow! It’s the moment Demi and Gaby have been waiting for! Our Dune: Part 2 episode! Demi and Gaby discuss Alaskan Bullworms and spice while Cassie and Dallas each get a segment dedicated to TV nostalgia. Is Dune: Part 2 as good as Part 1? Does Feyd-Rautha sound like Elvis? And why did the X-Men animators draw Rogue like that in that scene? You know the one. Grab your popcorn bucket (you know the one) and dive […]

TWO of Dallas’ favorite music artists made shows that came out this month! And they’re both good! Also, Madame Web came out too! What can we say about Madame Web? It sure is a movie! Did we dislike Madame Web as much as Dakota Johnson seems to? Does Donald Glover have another hit show on his hands? And speaking of, did The Vince Staples Show fill the Atlanta shaped hole in Dallas’ heart? Press play and listen for the answers […]

As you may know, a new live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is out now. But before we get to that, we had to get through the reason that the phrase “live-action adaptation of Avatar” elicits a fight or flight response in so many people. And it’s Gaby’s first time seeing this movie! She did NOT want to. Are we bad friends for subjecting her to this? Why did it take all those Earthbenders to move that one rock? […]

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is out and it’s everything we hoped it would be! Well, not for Dallas, but he probably just misses Rosario Dawson as Persephone. On the movie side of things, we’ve got Argylle, the spy movie with lots of A-listers and even more plot twists. Was Argylle as much fun as Matthew Vaughn’s other movies? Does Demi have a new second favorite Disney+ show? (Willow will never be dethroned) And what are […]
