Thanks for your patience, y'all! It's been a tough coupla weeks (months, year) for everyone and we sincerely hoping you're finding ways to take care of yourself. This is an episode that we recorded in mid-March. While we intentionally skipped our February ep and are posting this one WAY late, we promise we're not going anywhere. At Flick Yeah! HQ, we've begun some production talks on how to continue bringing you fun movie content that still excites us, as creators. In the meantime, enjoy our dis...

Happy 2021! We decided on some lighter fare this month to take a break from the world crumbling around us. We watched 4 very different interpretations of the story of Hercules and WOW, what a ride. THEME MOVIES Hercules (Lou Ferrigno, 1983) - Absolutely bonkers. Worth a watch for sheer trippiness. Hercules and the Amazon Women (Kevin Sorbo, 1994) - Rough start to what seemed like a successful TV show. Hercules (Tate Donovan/Disney, 1997) - So, so good. Despite or because of all the dumb jokes, y...

SPOILERS ABOUND! Hannah's sister Caitlin joins the podcast for our final episode of 2020! We discuss the queer "rom com" currently streaming on Hulu and then dive into the Blade Runner franchise and a couple movies it inspired. Enjoy! IN THEATERS AKA YOUR LIVING ROOM Happiest Season - A bit of a disappointment but worth watching for the conversations it sparked! THEME MOVIES Blade Runner - Quiet and beautiful (for many people). The Fifth Element - Just a silly good time. Dark City - "I didn't ha...

Women showed up big time for Biden in the 2020 election (particularly women of color)! In celebration of that fact, we watched 4 female-centric movies that all depressed us a bit but then pumped us way back up! Who run the world? GIRLS! Oh and we also watched a Thanksgiving-themed new release that was a bit of a dumpster fire. Happy Thanksgiving everyone? IN THEATERS AKA YOUR LIVING ROOM Friendsgiving - Wayyyyy too much going on. You can skip this one. THEME MOVIES Set it Off - Much darker than ...

Happy October everybody! No new movie this episode and since the presidential election is just around the corner, we decided to watch a few movies related to elections and campaigns. Some helped us take our minds off of the current state of the world and others were a harsh reminder of how bad things feel sometimes. There's something for everyone! Vote vote vote. THEME MOVIES Speechless (1994) - This one did not live up to its potential. The Manchurian Candidate (2004) - What are you doing, Mery...

The world lost a great talent much too soon on 8/28/20. We watched a few of his films in celebration of his life, and now we only miss him more. For discussions of 2 of his other films, check out Black Panther in episode 137 and Marshall in episode 119. THEME MOVIES 42 - So great, but we may never be able to look at Alan Tudyk the same way again. Get on Up - Turns out James Brown was a bit strange? As was this movie's timeline. Captain America: Civil War - Black Panther's debut. Some great parts...

Another month, another batch of movies! Listen in as we chat about some badass women getting revenge. First, we discuss a new release that didn't quite meet our expectations. Enjoy! IN THEATERS AKA YOUR LIVING ROOM Babysplitters - Compelling premise, poor execution. THEME MOVIES The Quick and the Dead - How old do we think Leo was during filming? Kill Bill: Vol 1 - Urgh, it fits the theme. Fine. Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) - Hard to follow but worth a watch. The Nightingale - Hard to ...

And it feels so good. Hannah has returned from her sojourn to Chicago, not that it REALLY matters right now since we can't leave our homes. But it's lovely to have her back and do some socially-distant hangs. To celebrate our reunion, we watched some movies featuring our names, with... mixed results. IN THEATERS AKA YOUR LIVING ROOM Palm Springs - Sweet and funny but not too memorable. THEME MOVIES Anne of Green Gables (1985) - So FUCKING delightful you will die. Watch it now. Hannah and Her Sis...

It's June 2020 and there's a lot going on. In honor of Pride month and the Black Lives Matter movement, we chose a few movies by queer black filmmakers. As usual, we kick things off with a new movie (that would have been in theaters) that you can rent on demand today. Enjoy! IN THEATERS AKA YOUR LIVING ROOM The High Note - Annoyed that the lead is white but still a good time. THEME MOVIES Brother to Brother - Sweet, thought-provoking, and relevant. D.E.B.S. - A farcically good time! Pariah - It'...

For this episode we decided to explore the "we only use 10% of our brains" myth by watching some cranium-expanding films. Turns out these filmmakers were only using 10% of their energy making these movies. Still some interesting stuff though, and we kicked things off with a new Netflix release that was sweet enough to almost make up for our disappointing theme movies. IN THEATERS AKA YOUR LIVING ROOM The Half of It - A charming new take on Cyrano de Bergerac; definitely worth checking out on Net...

For this milestone episode, we revisit an early episode! We watched all the same movies from episode 50 and discuss our thoughts without listening to our reviews from 5 years ago. Listen in to see if anything has changed (particularly since Hannah has a terrible memory)! THEME MOVIES Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) - Psst. Have you heard about this movie? It's good. The Gold Rush - We love Charlie Chaplin! The Golden Child - Great if you like your Eddie Murphy with a side of 'ism...

Well folks, the world is falling apart. We did not plan ahead to be topical, but our theme still turned out to be surprisingly fitting for these crazy times. Use your newly increased couch time to watch these movies and see what we mean! Stay safe out there. IN THEATERS Emma - Always fun to see this story, and this was a charming if not overly original adaptation. Check out episode 119 for our thoughts on some other versions! THEME MOVIES Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Why though? E.T. the...

We skipped the Oscars this year and decided to watch the NAACP best picture noms instead. Listen to our thoughts and then check out the show on BET February 22nd! OUTSTANDING MOTION PICTURE Dolemite is My Name - Fun and heart-warming. Harriet - A story worth telling. Just Mercy - Solid acting across the board. Queen & Slim - Check out episode 147 for our in-depth review. Us - Meh. OTHER NOMS MENTIONED Black and Blue - Gah. You can skip this one. Little - It's Big but, ya know, the other way!...

Happy December, listeners! This episode, we saw the intense but amazing Queen & Slim. We highly recommend it! Then we watched a bunch of new Netflix original holiday movies. Some were better than others. All gave us plenty to say. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Queen & Slim - Beautiful in so many ways. THEME MOVIES Holiday Rush - Holiday rush me outta here, am I right? Klaus - So sweet! Add it to your holiday rotation! The Knight Before Christmas - Delivers exactly what it promises. Let it Snow - Cu...

Welcome back! This month we revisited a favorite franchise, then we finally checked a movie off our list that we've been talking about doing for ages, Anne got to rewatch a high school classic that did NOT hold up for her, we discovered the source of a beloved Disney voice, and we explored some MATURE themes. We tied it all together under the subject of cheerleaders. Mostly. IN THEATERS Terminator: Dark Fate - Fun and action-packed but not very original. THEME MOVIES But I'm a Cheerleader - A su...

Happy Halloween, listeners! For this month's episode we got in the spooky spirit and watched a few not-too-scary teen thrillers. But first we kick things off with Hollywood's latest take on a man falling in love with his cell phone. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Jexi - Hannah might be expecting too much out of this one. THEME MOVIES Scream - "Behind you, Jamie!" I Know What You Did Last Summer - And it's concerning. The Faculty - An all-around good time at the movies. Teaching Mrs. Tingle - Where do we eve...

No new movies caught our eye in early September so we have 5 theme movies for you this month! We were feeling nautical so we picked 5 movies about the ocean and the sea-faring vessels that traverse it. Able seamen a-plenty. THEME MOVIES Dead Calm - Baby Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane show us their butts. And I guess some other stuff happens. Titanic - A stunning achievement. Hannah awards it Flick Yeah's first perfect 10! The Perfect Storm - Not as great as Anne remembered but still very gripping....

We miss Robin Williams so this month we decided to dedicate an entire episode to him. But first (and a little begrudgingly), we kick things off with Tarantino's latest flick. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - If you don't know your American history from the 1960s, we suggest you read up before seeing this one. THEME MOVIES Good Morning, Vietnam - Take a drink every time a character says the title of the movie. Awakenings - So encephalitis is crazy. Aladdin - Worthy of being thou...

Hannah has moved on to bigger and better... Chicago. Making this our first long distance episode! We got into the spirit of things and watched 4 movies about long distance relationships. Hopefully our friendship goes better than these folks' romances... IN THEATERS Stuber - As advertised. THEME MOVIES Going the Distance - Sparks be flyin'! Like Crazy - Crazy stupid. 10.000 KM - Boring and upsetting. Sorry Tonks. The Space Between Us - Turns out this doesn't quite fit the theme and seems to have ...

A lot is changing in our lives! Hannah is temporarily living with Anne before moving to Chicago so this episode is full of movies featuring roommates -- mostly really really bad roommates. But first we kick things off with Mindy Kaling's latest (ha) project. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Late Night - Even if it didn't quite meet our expectations, we still want you to see it. THEME MOVIES Single White Female - So fun! Reality Bites - So '90s! You, Me and Dupree - the lack of Oxford comma is one more reason ...

If you are not living under a rock, and you are not Hannah, then you know that today is a very big day. We decided to go über topical with this month's episode and watch 4 movies starring some actors from Game of Thrones. No spoilers, don't worry - Hannah wouldn't know what I was talking about anyway. IN THEATERS Pokémon Detective Pikachu - Where's the colon????? THEME MOVIES Imagine Me & You ( Lena Headey ) - Warm and nice and thoughtful. Testament of Youth ( Kit Harington ) - Maybe Pompeii...

Thanks for checking out episode 139!

My Blind Brother - Surprisingly not really a comedy. E-mail us at [email protected]...

THEME MOVIES Liar Liar - Jim Carrey's crazy physical comedy is not enough to save this one. Just My Luck - Probably best to listen to Anne's opinion over Hannah's. I Feel Pretty - It's worth a try.

For episode 135, we watched a handful of movies where people need to fight to survive. Not intentionally part of the theme but still fitting, we start with Boy Erased, Garrard Conley's true story of growing up gay in Arkansas and attending conversion therapy. IN THEATERS Boy Erased - An evocative and moving film. THEME MOVIES Flight of the Phoenix - We hope the original is better. Into the White - Slow start but decent second half.
