Sam and Heather start a new series this week, a fun adventure series that is beloved by many, what could go wrong? Don't meet your heroes and don't expect much from your childhood cinematic crushes!

Sam and Heather are doing their best this week. Sickness has led to posting a little late, Sam can't seem to nail down language in this episode and Heather is just along for the ride. The true con of this movie was putting beautiful famous people in the cast to get us to watch it. 

Sam is joined once again by WLIH's #1 fan, Dave! Last time Dave picked the film (Ep 116: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) so this week Sam had him watch a film she thinks is vastly underrated. Prepare yourself for the cutthroat world of butter sculpting! 

Surprisingly, Heather is the one who wanted to talk about superheroes this week! Well...if by "super" you mean "scary" and by "hero" you mean "villain". Sam, as always, thinks that maybe we are just being too quick to condemn the being set on world domination and destruction.

Sam and Heather continue their journey of The Hunger Games with the second installment of the series. While still tragic, this one at least has way less child death.

Sam and Heather discuss a movie that Sam has been thinking about for the last 20 years. Believing is a powerful, just like how Sam and Heather still believe anyone wants to hear their opinions on movies! Bazinga! 

Sam is joined by Zach for another episode! They decided to do another foreign film with subtitles and once again neither of them really knew what they were getting into. This film won lots of awards- should it have though?

Sam and Heather continue their merry journey for the season much to Heather's dismay. This movie has truly captured the hearts of many but will it land with Sam and Heather? As Tim the tool man Taylor would say- ugh-ugh-ugh. 

Merry Merry everyone! It's finally time for Sam and Heather's holiday line up! Tis the season for Sam to spread Xmas cheer while Heather bah humbugs even the slightest mention of jolly merriment.

Sam and Heather wanted to keep things light before spooky season starts next week. This is one of Sam's favorite rom coms and it definitely has absolutely nothing to do with all the nudity featuring one Mr. Chris Evans. 

Sam drags Heather back into the MCU to discuss the next movie in their Avengers journey. Although there is a debate about whether this is truly an Avengers movie, Sam thinks it is and Heather still has no idea what the MCU is, so here we are.  Catch up with the other Avengers episodes!  Ep 62: The Avengers  Ep 108: Avengers: Age of Ultron

Sam is joined by Krista to discuss a teen slasher movie, a genre that is near and dear to them. On the one hand it's great to see how this genre is evolving especially in terms of representation, on the other hand when will people figure out how to end their movies?? Oh well, buckle up everyone.

Sam and Courtney discuss one of Courtney's all time favorites. Never meet your heroes and never let Sam watch one of your favorite movies for the show. For anyone who actually reads these blurbs, the audio is all over crazy and while we apologize there will be no corrections. 

It's so hot and we need a break! This week enjoy the re-release of ep 67, we think this gives off summer vibes. Stay cool and join us next week for an episode with Sam and Courtney! 

Happy Summer everyone! Sam and Heather felt that with the state of things lately a horror film was the perfect way to celebrate our independence. This is Heather's last episode with us before her break but if all goes according to plan she'll be back mid August. 

Sam is joined by Zach this week as they discuss the film that won Best Musical at the Oscars. The songs don't make a lot of sense and the plot never really wraps up but apparently the world is ok with this movie beating out Wicked?!?! No, it was totally the right choice.
