    Join Steph and Jess for the last installment of “Sinful September” with 2001’s Frailty. A, if we’re being totally honest, a huge disappointment from our 14/17 year old mind’s memories. We discuss the key points we remember, which was not really much come to find out, and how this is the second movie starring Mathew M that barely had him in it. And once again, are we sure this is coming from God? Plus November’s theme is announced!

    Join Steph and Jess as they take a journey back to 1999 for Stigmata, the movie that probably contributed to Steph’s departure from catholicism. We discuss Patricia Arquette’s peak Y2K fashion and bringing back giant acrylic rings, please. WWJD? Probably not watch this movie.

    It’s Leo Season! And you know what that means..Leo DiCaprio movies, duh. Join Steph and Jess for the first installment of the season with 2000’s The Beach. Here we prove just how unreliable memories can be as we have wildly different recollections from the actual movie. We discuss how awful just about everyone is in this secret island cult, where everyone is ok with murder as long as the vibes are good and the volleyball court is open.

    Join Steph and Jess for the final installment of Summer Slashers! We end it with 2015’s The Final Girls. It was a first watch for both of us and while we agreed we would possibly watch it again if it happened to be streaming on something we already pay for, we also thought it was more teen mother/daughter drama with a side of slasher. We also wonder if Taissa Farmiga and J. Love Hewitt went to the same eye acting classes, and have a thunderstorm as a surprise guest!
