If you are a Gen Xer and don't remember desperately trying to check out the Scary Stories books from the library, are you even ok??? Just kidding. Sort of. Even if the books weren't your thing, you can appreciate the shock and awe of the illustrations done by Stephen Gammell. Andrea and Melissa definitely have a long-standing relationship with the books, but had not yet seen the 2019 film. It turns out, this was a great trip through the nostalgia of the books, while enjoying them woven together in a movie! Even if you haven't seen the movie, this episode is such a fun listen for those of us that remember Alvin Schwartz's strange tapestry of folklore and horror.

We've been through a long year of concerts being on hiatus due to the pandemic. Almost Famous is a perfect movie to rekindle the love of live music.

If we told you for every $1 you invest in a movie, you will make $10, 931 - would you support that project? Hell, yes!! Unfortunately, Andrea and Melissa do not have an opportunity like that to offer. Back in 1999, the creators of The Blair Witch Project didn't have an offer like that to make either. But as time would tell, the idea for an extremely low-budget, improv-style, found footage movie paired with the first truly viral marketing campaign would land this film in the Guiness Book of World Records for "Top Budget: Box Office Ratio." Andrea and Melissa were around for the 1999 release of The Blair Witch Project and saw it together in the theater. It turned out to be just as satisfying to rewatch it now through the lens of everything we know about the facts and fiction surrounding this movie.

Once upon a time, there was a golden age of teen horror movies. That time was the late 1990s. Sadly, they weren't all as brilliant as Kevin Williamson's Scream. Sometimes, we see success and say...."so, what else have you got?" Mr. Williamson had a script that was once rejected. Based on a teen novel by Lois Duncan, the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer was born. This movie had all the A-list hollywood youths to splash across its marketing.

Andrea and Melissa are totally OK with being nice people.  Sorry, Derrick.  
This episode is a first for us in that we both DID NOT like the movie!  However, Gossip is ripe with amazing 90s fashion nostalgia.  We had a lot of fun talking about some of the forgotten trends from the turn of the century.  It was also fun to compare this fictional college experience to our own.  Kate Hudson is just a baby in this role and nearly dropped it for the movie Almost Famous the same year.  Turns out she worked it in, and you can decide if that was a good or bad thing :-)
