Some Like It Scary

We dodged the log truck last episode, but this week we're still on the road trying to survive. We're watching out for deer and trying to save our family business this week with Tommy Boy (1995), a classic comedy that we see as a romantic comedy... because it is!!!Sources: https://screenrant.com/behind-scenes-facts-about-making-of-tommy-boy-1995/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114694/

This week, let's go for a road trip! We'll just make sure not to follow any log trucks too closely. We're diving into our favorite of the Final Destination franchise, Final Destination 2. Brave the dentist, watch for signs, and maybe don't stick your hand in the garbage disposal.

We're back in a cabin... this time the water is safe to drink because we're going to our mom's B&B. Sound like the perfect weekend? It would be ... if we hadn't invited our ex, who also brought his current girlfriend. A companion to our last episode on Cabin Fever, this week's episode is on "The Weekend" (2018). Whether it's a horror movie or a romcom, vacations can be hell. Try not going through your ex's bag this weekend. And justice for Margo!!!!Article referenced: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/09/stella-meghie-the-weekend-movie-interview?srsltid=AfmBOope5A0FToGBmoT43lATtAL4ICEAjYrxQ9eocmhY1CgXLyXZkrYzContent creator that has informed Kelly's understanding of Seventh Heaven: @heartthrobertFollow us on instagram here: kelly: @sidneysrevengeolivia: @fatfemmereadssome like it scary: @somelikeitscarypod

Let's go stay in a cabin this weekend! We'll drink, swim in the lake, party around the bonfire, and try to avoid our skin sluffing off. Beware: f*cking in a cabin can be dangerous! ...And drinking the water... And attacking strangers who are vomiting blood. Let's go back to 2002 (shudder) and see if we survive the flesh-eating virus and our shitty friends. That's right, we're covering the very squelchy and iconic Cabin Fever (2002). Get in loser, we're losing our skin.

We're back, baby! Olivia and Kelly record an IRL episode while they're away for the weekend. Listen as they yap about what they've been up to, their current binges, and the upcoming episodes. You'll also hear Duke, Olivia's dog, prancing around the entire time. Just look at the episode image if you think it's annoying - could you ever be annoyed at him??? We didn't think so.

This week on Some Like it Scary, we're discussing the 2001 romantic comedy Two Can Play That Game. Don't you know about the RULES? If you're a woman and you're dating a man and need to teach him a lesson... there's a (not) simple 10-day process to follow. We all read the same manual right? Well, if you missed it then join us as we dive into a very 2000's look at gender, dating, and communication. This movie will definitely have you screaming, just talk to each other! So grab your best friends and those mysterious panties and let's play a GAME.Note: if you missed our announcements the last few weeks, we have a change to our release schedule! We are still pairing horror and romcom movies together, but they will be released over two weeks - not the same week. Last week's episode was on Bodies, Bodies, Bodies - our other episode under the theme of "just talk to each other!" Episodes will (typically) be released on Tuesdays!You can follow us on instagram at: Podcast page: @somelikeitscarypod Olivia's page: @fatfemmebookclubKelly's page: @sidneysrevengeSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Can_Play_That_Game_(film)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0269341/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/two_can_play_that_game/reviews?type=userhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0269341/trivia/

This week we're putting on our glow necklaces and going to a hurricane party! Get ready to be slapped in the face by your friends and try to not get killed in a pitch black mansion owned by sword-wielding Pete Davidson. This week's movie, Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) is all about misunderstanding, friends who hate each other, and phones with never-ending battery power.

We're finishing up our House of Sprouse marathon with Beautiful Disaster, a very 2011 romantic comedy that came out in 2023. Featuring Dylan Sprouse, a dark poker past, and an underground college fight club, this movie is..... really something. Olivia also breaks down the source material (2011 romance book of the same name) and gives us perspective on how much worse the movie could have been. Join us as we try to navigate a very tropey film--and watch out for the splash zone.Notes:What's the Deal With,,, Jamie McGuire?

It's House of Sprouse week! First up is Lisa Frankenstein, featuring Cole Sprouse.

Continuing our Big Stalker Energy week, we're discussing 90's romcom While You Were Sleeping. We chat about how close this movie is to a horror movie, share our amazement that this movie was even made, and learn about the weird history of how it came to be! Let's meet at the train station -- but watch out for the tracks (and stalkers). Follow us on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod <3Note: Starting this week, we are doing two episodes a week! We will still have a weekly theme, but our horror and romcom picks will have separate episodes. Horror episodes drop on Tuesdays and romcom episodes drop on Thursdays.

It's Big Stalker Energy week!! For our horror pick, we decided to do BOTH Creep and Creep 2 - they're best as one story anyway. Join us as Olivia cringes and Kelly gets a little too excited over Mark Duplass' performance as a wolf-obsessed creep. Grab your wolf mask, put on your custom-made locket, and let's get weird. <3NOTE: Starting this week, we're doing two episodes per week - a horror episode and romcom episode, instead of them being in the same episode. Horror episodes will be released Tuesdays and the romcom episodes will be released Thursdays. Both episodes will be part of the same theme!

It's episode 10! This week we're asking, why are you so obsessed with me? We're going to Texas to make collages with Brendan Frasier for Still Breathing (1997), a lesser-known romantic comedy (maybe?) that neither of us had seen. Then we're going backpacking with Allison Williams and Logan Browning for the erotic horror movie The Perfection (2018). Both get horny, but only one is a movie Kelly would recommend for a date night. Grab your scissors and meat cleavers and let's get OBSESSED.

Do you have a sister? Does she have kids? Well, what if you suddenly had to care for your sister's kids after her untimely death? Both of this week's films deal with exactly that -- though with VERY different outcomes. We're going to play with new toys and become mothers this week with the classic romcom Raising Helen (2004) and the campy horror sensation M3GAN (2022). Bring your pet turtle, but not your neighbor's dog! Follow us on instagram at @somelikeitscarypod <3

We're going for a drive and getting wild on a rollercoaster this week with baby Reese Witherspoon! We rewatched erotic thriller Fear and gave the roadtrip romcom Overnight Delivery a shot!

This week we answer the question "is sex dangerous?" Whether you're trying to break old patterns or literally escape a monster, to fuck or not to fuck is the question. We try not to have sex while discussing Sleeping with Other People and contemplate how to fuck ourselves to safety with It Follows.

In this week's episode of Some Like It Scary, we put on tin foil hats and hope that Mel Sugartits Gibson doesn't read our thoughts. We chat about What Women Want, a film full of tropes and hot women, and Signs, Kelly's favorite M. Night Shyamalan movie. Do you think there's such thing as a coincidence? And was there really a time when movies wanted us to think Mel Gibson was hot?

This week is all about girls and women talking.... to each other! We're going on adventures, traveling to new places, and wearing matching outfits! We're having a double feature week and chatting about Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1 & 2 and The Descent 1 & 2. Grab your favorite jeans and an ice axe! Notes: Article Olivia referenced: 45 Things You Probably Didn't Know About "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" by Tabitha Leggetthttps://www.buzzfeed.com/tabathaleggett/things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-sisterhood-of-the-tAll of Kelly's trivia and BTS information was from Wikipedia and IMBD trivia.

We go on a life-changing journey together in episode 4 of Some Like It Scary with Austenland (2013) and Midsommar (2019). Olivia takes us to England to find our own Mr. Darcy and Kelly invites us to a barbeque in Sweden. Join us so that you too can feel held.Follow us on instagram at somelikeitscarypod <3Notes: After this episode was recorded, we changed our podcast name to Some Like It Scary (original name is already in use) so this is the last episode that we introduce with the old name. I mention a video that I watched of Ari Aster providing commentary over the Midsommar trailer but I now cannot find it (google is bullying me). I'm sure it exists out there somewhere, so if you come across it send it to us and we'll link it.

In episode 3 of Some Like It Scary, we chat about fate, spectacles, and if there's such a thing as a bad miracle. Join us as we go on a wild goose chase for love with romcom Serendipity (2001) and try not to look at the sky with sci-fi thriller NOPE (2022). Grab a cowboy hat and a copy of Love in the Time of Cholera!Note: We changed the podcast title after the 4th episode so you'll notice the old title is still in this, but it's now Some Like It Scary.

In episode 1, Olivia discusses iconic romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally" and Kelly shares their distain for the divisive horror film "Mother!"Notes:We have changed the name of the podcast -- our title for the first few episodes is used in this episode, but we changed it once we realized it was already in use! <3Kelly says Darren Aronofsky when they meant to say Javier Bardem at one point when discussing the characters -- ignore this!Also, pretend that we didn't mess up when we were trying to guess who Gerald Ford was.
