In "Some Like It Scary," two best friends chat romcoms, horror movies, and the tropes of both! Each week, Olivia (she/her) and Kelly (they/them) chat about either a romantic comedy or horror movie.

This week we're taking a drive in the desert back to 2022 to talk all things Don't Worry Darling, the much-gossiped about thriller featuring a naughty Chris Pine.

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!

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?
