    Office Romance

    You know the name of the game, hooking up with a co-worker except these are the hottest two people at work and the boss and J Lo! HR can't handle this! Listen when you can, maybe at work!

  2. 126

    Voicemails for Isabelle

    You never know who's old number you have and what calls you may get and how dudes will use it to their advantage. The movie can be a little heavy, the main character is annoying, but the most revealing part of this ep is Jenny sharing the craziest news!! Listen when you can.

  3. 125

    Obsession

    Warning to all simps, you may not want the girl to like you more than anything. It won't work out well! In the end she suffers the most. You could say this movie is everyone's new obsession! Listen when you can.

  4. 124

    The Devil Wears Prada 2

    We're back with our favorite Devil who's still wearing Prada! The gang is back! Need we did them to be? Probably not, but Nigel is cool. Listen if you think sequels are fashionable.

  5. 123

    Wuthering Heights (2026)

    This is not the 1939 classic, but the brand new 2026 version. If you didn't read the book don't worry neither did the people who made this movie! Technically quotation marks are in the title, but maybe it was never supposed to be faithful. It gets weird, campy, it's not your mom's Wuthering Heights...or maybe it is. Listen when you can.

  6. 122

    No Strings Attached

    It's our five year anniversary! Five years ago we did Friends with Benefits, so five years later we did a similar film that came out the same year, No Strings Attached. And we have on our super fan/ super friend Noah Crowley. We reminisce on our time and discuss it all! Here's to another five!

  7. 121

    The Housemaid

    This film has a lot of twists and turns and has Martin's fav Sydney Sweeney...and it's still not good...but I think most of us already knew that! This ep is a good listen tho.

  8. 120

    The Threesome

    No, it's not a dirty movie, it's a comedy that has a lot of crazy stuff happen after a threesome. You never know what will happen....but birth is involved. It's a funny, good time.

  9. 119

    Love & Basketball

    It's March, big time for basketball, so here's a movie about that and love and growing up and thinking about the future and opportunity all from people too short to actually go pro. Listen when you can. Ballin'!

  10. 118

    The Life List

    What if your mom dies and never told you the things that make her proud of her and instead left a list you made at 13 for things you wanted to accomplish in life and DVDs of her for you watch?That's the movie, listen when you can, don't wait for us to die.

  11. 117

    Is This Thing On?

    Stand up comedy and romance, can you have both? Is stand up comedy in a movie portrayed realistically? These questions and more we ask? The main question is, what's the deal...with this movie?!

  12. 116

    People We Meet on Vacation

    Who's the vacation you? You never who you'll meet, could be some guy who goes to your college, meet up with once a year, and secretly are interested but never want to say it loud? You know the people. That's this movie. Hear about it and high school drama from years ago. Good ep! Listen when you can.

  13. 115

    One Battle After Another

    It is the best picture....that's up your opinion. The name sounds like being married, right? A lot is going on in the movie, one thing is for sure though, Sean Penn plays a weirdo. Listen when you can!

  14. 114

    Regretting You

    The only thing we regret is watching this movie. It's bad and literally an insane. Listen to hear about it...and about Martin's finances. This episode you won't regret!

  15. 113

    Runaway (2010 Kanye West short film music video)

    With the holiday season ending, Martin knew it was going to be hard to get the episode done, so he called in his friends Phil and. Rudy and talked about this old Kanye West extended music video that's technically a short film. Back when Kanye was cool. Happy New Year!

  16. 112

    Wicked: For Good

    They took down our Wicked 2 ep b/c of copyright stuff, but we don't care. We're back!!

  17. 111

    Champagne Problems

    It's the best type of problems. We're here with a Netflix Hallmark-ish type Christmas movie. Where a woman goes on a business trip to France during Christmas; how terrible. She meets a guy then it conflicts with her business. Alot of stuff is happening. Martin was sick, but we made it through. Listen when you can and pop a bottle with it!

  18. 110

    The Ballad of Wallis Island

    This week we just have a nice movie. No one can really hate it...hopefully like this episode! Listen when you can.

  19. 109

    The Big Sick

    A movie about comedy and being ill...perfect for us! It's a good movie, fun time, off topic, but we make it through. This episode is sick!

  20. 108

    Back To The Future

    Forty years ago on the date this episode is dropping, 10/26, Marty McFly went to the past, got stuck, and had to go back to the future! From 1985 to 2025, we discuss....and really get off topic, it's a good ep. Our episodes keep being brought for copyright crap, but we're here, we're not going anywhere!

  21. 107

    Freaky Friday

    This ep got deleted for copyright infringement, reloading it and making it right. Copyright police can screw themselves. We're here. If you missed the ep, here it is.

  22. 106

    Oh, Hi

    Our bad guys, this was supposed to be uploaded last week, it was on YouTube, for some reason we forgot the audio form. Our bad, but this film is about communication, talk things out before your romantic weekend...or else things can go south, like this film. Again, sorry for the delay.

  23. 105

    The Map That Leads To You

    We're back with a new film...that's okay, but it's number on Amazon Prime, so what do we know. Join us in a film where a girl meets a random guy in Europe, follows a map with him, and somehow doesn't not get taken. Go figure! Listen, it's a fun time!

  24. 104

    Barbarian

    We have our #1 listener and frequent guest, Noah Crowley on to discuss this horror film, that may be different depending on who views it and is really about wanting to be a mother; at the same time it's really fucked up!! Also, Martin gets called out. Andi is on as well! There's something for everyone!!

  25. 103

    Materialists

    It's a movie about a matchmaker who thinks they're great at their job...but the real question is, who's better looking Pedro Pascal or Chris Evans? It's a hell of a love triangle. We'll make you a match, just listen!

  26. 102

    Superbad

    One of the few teen sex comedies that ages pretty well. We talk about the teen sex comedy that came out when we were in high school with our friend, Phil Mike. There's a lot of stories of our younger selves shared too. It's a great listen.

  27. 101

    Jane Austen Wrecked My Life

    This episode is on a foreign film, but they speak English too. Jane Austen isn't in it, but a Hugh Grant wannabe is. It's a feel good film for all you who love classic fem lit. It's a good listen.

  28. 100

    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

  33. 95

    Crocodile Dundee
