Each episode we discuss a movie both of us love and one of us gets to defend the movie, while the other has to attack it.

Hey everyone, Katrina and Anna here.

You may have noticed an absence in episodes and we wanted to give an update. We will get back to recording at some point, but we unexpectedly lost our brother, Shawn and we're taking this time to process and heal from this overwhelming loss.

We'll come back soon. Goonies never say die 💙

Ice Castles: Eyes of Love Probably Won't Help You See the Flowers Either

Be prepared to have the theme song of this movie stuck in your head because this week we're talking about the sweet, 1978 sports romance film, Ice Castles!

Starring Lynn-Holly Johnson in her first role, the dreamy Robby Benson, the absolutely wonder Colleen Dewhurst, good friend of the podcast Tom Skerritt, and the golden-locked beauty Jennifer Warren. 

KATRINA is the PRO this week and she's bringing some pretty sweet trivia to the ice rink. But will she be able to skate Anna into a button push? Listen and find out!

ANNA is the CON and although she loves this movie, she is begging to please let this episode end, because avoiding a button push this week is gonna be like trying to avoid skating into a metal patio table and chairs which, for some reason, is sitting on the ice.

Strange Brew: It's Like... Canadian Hamlet, eh?

Take off, hoser! This week we’re celebrating our friends up north with the most Canadian movie we can think of, 1983’s Strange Brew! Seriously, not all Americans have lost their minds! Starring, written, and directed by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas…this movie has EVERYTHING. World dominating plots involving mind-controlling beer, a super pi**ed off dog painted like a skunk, laser effects…everything!

ANNA is the PRO on this one and she is locked and loaded with lots of tasty trivia, eh? Wanna know who voices the boys’ dad? Of course you do! Listen and find out!

KATRINA is the CON this episode and she’s ready to bust out the steamroller all over Anna’s takes.

WE LOVE YOU, CANADA!

Anaconda: We Also Don't Want None...of This Movie

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY! We thought this year we'd cover a movie no one would guess we'd do, 1997's Anaconda.

Do you hate this movie and think it's ridiculous? Same! But because we love you all and also torturing ourselves, we'd go deep into the Amazon rainforest with creepy Jon Voight as our guide and conquer the movie we both despise. 

KATRINA is the PRO this episode, which is somehow worse than being the CON. Will she be able to stomach her way through it?

ANNA is the CON, and for once, she's thrilled about it. Will her disdain be enough to avoid a button push? Listen and find out!

Dune (1984): Sand Worms & Battle Pugs & Weird Sweaty Naked Sting...Oh My, Indeed.

Break out the stillsuits and Water of Life because we are wrapping up our March Movie Madness with the Adaptations region, by celebrating David Lynch's Dune!

KATRINA is the PRO and she takes a deep dive into the sands of planet, Arrakis with tons of trivia and you're not gonna believe what she learned about some of the costumes! You won't wanna miss this one!

ANNA is the CON and nerding out about Dune is easy. Not saying anything good about the movie isn't. Can she find a way to avoid a button push? It'll be a chosen one miracle, if she can.

Toy Story: Oh Great...Now We Gotta Deal With Sentient Toys

Reach for the skyyyyyyy, because this week is all about 1995's Pixar OG--Toy Story! For our third round of March Movie Madness, you chose ANIMATION so we are diving into the origins of Pixar, casting, difficulties with animation, and much more as we cover this beloved movie.

KATRINA is the PRO of this episode and she has lots of trivia to lull Anna into a false sense of safety, and she's given herself a self-imposed challenge to not swear. Well good luck with that, Katrina, and bring on the Toy Story goodies!

ANNA is the CON and though this movie is a challenge, she does manage to bring a criticism she thinks even Katrina won't be able to defend. What could it be? Listen and find out!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Indiana Getting Love From His Distant Father is the Real Holy Grail

Movie Madness continues this week with the DUOS region, and the winner is Harrison Ford and pointing his finger! We're covering 1989's brilliant third installment in the Indiana Jones franchise: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! 

ANNA is the PRO and she's itching for a button push from Katrina. Will this be the episode? And in a movie highlighting the Indiana Jones origin story, it seems only appropriate to delve into the history of the Indiana Jones character as a whole. 

KATRINA is the CON and she's gonna have to work extra hard to avoid a button push with a movie this good. She does have some questions, though. For instance, how exactly does one survive a stomach bullet wound so long? Or why does Indiana bother ripping out the pages of the journal at all instead of just sending the whole thing?

Jurassic Park (disclaimer: some park guests not guaranteed to leave the park alive

You voted and we listened! Thank you all for voting which movies you wanted us to cover, and we’re starting off our Movie Madness with the Director region. Stephen Spielberg took the prize by a mile, so 1993’s Jurassic Park, it is. We’re heading down to Isla Nublar to discuss this iconic blockbuster and and maybe have one or two tequila shots. Or possibly more, it’s hard to say. Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think!

Anna is the PRO and she’s gonna throw every trick she has at Katrina to try and get a button push. 

Katrina is the CON and she’s attacking science like a T-rex attacks a plexiglass car roof. Can she throw Anna off her game? Listen and find out
