Do you know what we didn't need in 20/20? A creepy psychological thriller about a girl inheriting her father's dark secret. But that's what we got with the 2020 movie Inheritance, staring Lilly Collins. This podcast is the only place where you will get to hear the alternate endings to this movie...non official endings...okay, it's the endings we wish we would've gotten. Come join the hilarity as we recap this movie in our satirical, dark humorous ways. Hope you enjoy!

Spooky season continues! In this episode, we recap the 1996 witchy cult classic The Craft. If you ask Rose, this is a creepy freaking movie that capitalizes from the satanic panic era of the 90s. For Courtney, the hijinks these witches get up to is more akin to casual sleepover type-things. Join our hilarity as we lovingly drag this uniquely 90s movie, with crazy-eyed Nancy and too-trusting Sarah.

It's officially spooky season. We are kicking off our October-fest schedule with a hilarious movie recap of the beloved 1995 film, Hocus Pocus. It's more than just a 90s movie with comedic 90s-movie logic, it's got magic, and hags, and parents who might be snorting fairy dust at parties. Hope you enjoy!

We are kicking off spooky season with one of our all time favs, the 1998 movie Practical Magic, staring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. We are relieved that the movie (which we adored as kids) has withstood the test of time, minus some interesting plot holes here and there. Still, there's plenty for us to laugh and wonder about. Hope you enjoy our humor and unsophisticated takes on this millennial classic.

For our 50th episode, we wanted to recap a movie everyone is sure to have seen OR purposefully avoided. The 2004 film adaptation of the Nicholas Spark novel The Notebook was the winner. While we have strong feelings on the author, the story itself was a jackpot for us. Red flags. Ryan Gosling. Drama. All the things we love. Naturally, hilarity ensued! Check out our banter-filled, laugh-out-loud recap of The Notebook (which, by the way is currently available on Netflix, US).

In this episode we recap the much-hyped about 2019 movie Hustlers, staring Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu. It's a flip-the-script on men kind of day, perhaps, because this movie follows the true events of a group of strippers who finessed and drugged their way into millions of dollars by conning thirsty men. How far is too far when it comes to seeking revenge on the patriarchy? The law says grand larceny, and who are we to argue? Hope you enjoy our recap!

In what might be one of our shortest episodes to date, we must warn you about this expletive filled rant. In this episode, we recap the 2017 South African Romantic Drama, Catching Feelings, which stars Kagiso Lediga and Pearl Thusi. This the story of an insanely unlikable hero who girl bossed too closed to the sun. We didn't like him one bit, but were united in the common goal the tear him to shreds. Hope you enjoy!
Sep 07, 2022•34 min•Season 1Ep. 48
In this episode we recap the Netflix original drama Hello Goodbye and Everything In Between. This type of teen drama is proving to be our bread and butter. Gather 'round the fire, kids, your elders have a few things we'd like to discuss. Red flags we'd like to point out. And advice we don't want to be legally liable for. Join our hilarity. Hope you enjoy our movie commentary, our attempts at millennial comedy, and our utter need for an intervention.

In this episode we recap the 2022 Hulu original movie Not Okay. And...in the process I guess we prove that we are indeed not okay. Join our hilarity as we dive head first into our dark humor, contemplate the logistics of stalking, and the best ways to run from your trauma. We never said we were healthy, only entertaining. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode we recap the 2022 Netflix original movie Purple Hearts. Rose tries to redeem herself after the last episode where she failed to muster a cornel of feeling from her dark well of a soul. Courtney strategically chose this movie hoping it would hit Rose right in the feels: Marines in dress blues, sunny California, deployments, and white boys with dark shadows in their eyes...did it work? Did Rose finally feel something? You'll have to listen to get the answer.

If you only listen to one of our episodes, let this be the one. Our recap of the 2016 movie Me Before You will sound a lot like an endorsement for therapy. One of us reveals to be probably missing a soul. But the other isn't so innocent either, because it's no coincidence that our rowdiest, most laugh-out-loud episodes tend to be recapping darker movies. Our dark humor keeps us sane, and it's lucky we found another human to share it with. Hope you enjoy!
Aug 10, 2022•58 min•Season 1Ep. 44
In this episode we recap the 2022 film Don't Look Up staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence...not that you'd recognize them--they transformed for their roles. Particularly Mr. Dicaprio, who we have lovingly nicknamed Science Daddy for this episode. This movie was fun to recap, mostly because it fed our already anxious minds and dark-tinged views of the future.
Aug 03, 2022•40 min•Season 1Ep. 43
In this episode we recap the 2022 Netflix movie Persuasion staring Dakota Johnson. We always complain that no one is making romcoms or even romantic flicks anymore, so can we really get on Netflix for taking Jane Austen's classic Persuasion and turning it into a GenZ snark fest? Well, yes, we can. And we do. Listen--we didn't read the book so we are allowed to enjoy this movie for what it is...and that is a second chance romance that only Dakota Johnson can deliver. You have to listen to find ou...

We know what you're thinking, "is nothing sacred?" The answer is no. Because in this episode we recap the 2017 Live Action Remake of Beauty and The Beast staring Emma Watson and some other dude. We learn there are some plot holes we are okay with, some plot holes that might just keep us from tipping into madness. And then there are others that make Rose irrationally angry. So prepare for some rants. Some feminist, and some decidedly not-so. For a podcast that prides itself in being unsophisticat...

Well, we found it. The epicenter of the early 2000s toxicity that corrupted our (then) young impressionable minds and warped our perception of both work-life balance and the size our butts should be. Where do we send our therapy bill to? Good thing we cope with ill-timed dark humor because we laugh our little heads off in this episode.
Jul 13, 2022•59 min•Season 1Ep. 40
In this episode we recap the classic 2004 movie Mean Girls, staring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams...there's a dude somewhere in there too, but let's be honest, this one is all about the ladies.

In this episode we recap the 2001 movie The Wedding Planner, staring Jennifer Lopez and Mathew McConaughey. Rewatching early 2000 Rom-coms in your thirties just...hits different. We rant. A lot. Although Rose tends to ruin everything for Courtney, this time she ruined this for herself. It used to be one of her favorite romcoms and now she can't go five minutes without throwing her shoe at the screen. Join us in our rage, because therapy is expensive. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode we recap the 2006 teen comedy John Tucker Must Die. This movie features a long-haired Pen Badgley who is unfortunately not our main hero.

This one's a must-listen. In this episode we recap the Netflix original movie Good On Paper starring Iliza Shlesinger and Ryan Hansen. It's the all too familiar tale of a woman who wants to believe the best of a man and ignores red flags even as they are hurled at her face. But once the truth comes to light, what she does may be even crazier than he is (although, if you ask Courtney, it's all justified). You have to stay tuned until the end to listen to Courtney's unhinged revenge plot. It's so ...

In this episode we recap the Netflix original movie The Royal Treatment. Do you remember when rom-coms used to be good? Sigh. We do, too. But cheesy and cringe-worthy as these newer movies may be, they are still a blast to recap. This episode may be our most favorite to date. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode we recap Sandra Bullock's new action-packed romantic comedy, The Lost City. A widowed romance author and her delusional cover model go on a jungle adventure that rivals the wildest plots of her novels. If Sandra Bullock isn't playing Sandra Bullock, we don't want it. But fear not, because she is! We had so much fun recapping this movie. Can we all just take a moment to admire Sandra Bullock leading a major blockbuster film yet again? We recommend you go watch it first then come b...

In this episode we recap the first (and last?) movie adaptation of the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. Courtney begs Rose not to ruin this for her, but of course Rose can't help herself. Vampires that can do magic? Why not call them wizards that drink blood? Is the main vampire character actually international pop start Lizzo?Rose thinks so, but you'll need to listen to find out why. ___ Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFixation Contact us via our Website at fictionfixation.com Fiction fixat...

In this episode, we recap the wholesome movie Along for The Ride. This pick is undoubtedly Courtney's effort's to cleanse our palette after the smut filled Neon Gods book she made Rose read. Quite the opposite, this episode's story is about a young girl who wants to try being someone new while on summer break. Her bar for 'wild' is pretty low, so she is careful to NOT hoe too close to the sun. Still, this was a fun and light palette cleanser for us. Hope you enjoy! Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFi...

Move over fifty shades of grey, in this episode we recap the novel Neon Gods by Katee Roberts. A modern day retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, this book features a sex dungeon auditorium and also some blink-and-you-might-miss-it plot lines. We had too much fun lovingly dragging this book, which we both enjoyed. Go check it out, just make sure if you're listening to the audio book that it doesn't unplug in the middle of the grocery store.

In this episode we recap the 2010 romantic comedy Easy A starring Emma Stone and Penn Badgley. Our highschool do-gooder, Olive Penderghast, tells one little white lie that explodes into salacious rumors, leaving her with no choice but to embrace (and monetize) her newfound fame as a hoe. A fake hoe, that is. Things get out of control, because plot reasons. Penn Badgley is also there with his murderous eyes. He’s hot. We stan. Come join our hilarity.

Hear us out here. The year was 2011…Twilight mania was sweeping the nation–nay, the world. The best recipe for a hit movie at the time seemed to be an average teenage girl who unwittingly falls for a supernatural, but hot, tormented, and hot, appropriately aged, but also hot, boy who takes perplexing interest in her, and saves her life (while being hot). BEASTLY, starring Vanessa Hudgeons and Alex Pettyfer, tried to tap into this magic with this retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast. Che...

In this episode Rose and Courtney take a dive into the movie adaptation of the popular thriller Gone Girl, starring Ben Afflect and Rosamund Pike. When a generic white man’s much hotter wife goes missing, he is thrown into a media circus that dissects his movements, reactions, and mistakes. Let’s be real, the husband most probably did it. But when the villain is revealed, there’s no surprise that Courtney shares their love for calendars, planning, and probably binders. Follow us on Tiktok @ficti...

This audiobook experience is a new one. Call Me Maybe features a whole audiobook cast of voice actors, complete with sound effects and real life happening in the background. Rose begins to question Courtney’s true colors after this suggestion. This customer service call sparks a whirlwind romance between our our main characters. It's sweet, it's wholesome… It’s also a touch creepy. Courtney maintains she is NOT the marshmallow Rose now believes her to be. Rose is now convinced Courtney might act...

Make sure their desks face each other, oh and make sure they have to compete for a promotion. What could go wrong?

Sir, that is statistically impossible. But sure. Enter, cute petite Lawyer Chick. What could go wrong?!! Banter is aiight. The chemistry? Ummm...well, there is none. But the opportunities for laughs were plentiful (at least for the purposes of our recap). This movie got into our he...
