24 MAR 2024 · Steph, John & Dave dive into the past! This year is the 30th anniversary of the movies from… well if you’re doing the math at home or read the podcast title… 1994 – and we’ve chosen 5 of the biggest movies from that year to talk about their impact 30 years later. Talk to the hand if you don’t think it’s fly and all that, home skillet!! As if!    It’s 1994 you’re going through the newspaper, wondering what movie to see Friday night. You’ve got THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, a prison film that could make even a hardened criminal weep and long for the magic of friendship;  PULP FICTION, which would not just change movie storytelling, but would raise the bar on soundtracks, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE – Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise camping it up as vamps! “And they were ROOMMATES!”… THE CROW, the tragic last film of Brandon Lee as well as the blueprint for every emo story afterwards; and FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, the multi-cast comedy that led us to Love Actually! Booooo!  So check us out because we’re gonna Be Kind and Rewind this baby back to 1994!

29 OCT 2023 · Stephanie, John & Dave pledge a sorority where they take things slow - Slothlike slow! This is the untrue story of several sorority sisters picked to live in a house and have their lives taken… Where we find out what happens when an adorable sloth with anger issues stops being polite and starts getting real. It’s SLOTHERHOUSE!!! Here's the rapid recap to catch you up! Emily Young is a college Senior who will do anything to attain her dream of becoming house president of her Sorority. But standing in her way is current president and mean girl Madison – I think it’s Madison. I didn’t really catch the name of anyone in this movie and all the Sorority sisters basically looked the same to me. So Emily does the one rational thing – she adopts a Sloth in order to win over friends and become president. But does any of that really matter? Because we’re watching a movie called SLOTHERHOUSE. There’s a Sloth, there’s a house and there’s a lot of dead bodies. You’re re-capped!
