Thanks for your patience with this slightly overdue ep! Episode 88 won't disappoint. This time around we discuss the much anticipated sequel (for Hannah anyway) to a favorite film from our youth and then dive into some older flicks that make us feel like the nerdy romantics that we are. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Independence Day: Resurgence - Only worth it if you're a big enough fan of the first movie to make up for the sequel's shortcomings. If you are, it's a perfectly entertaining time at the movies...

Anne is a big fan of German cinema so for episode 81 we watched a few movies by the late, great Fritz Lang. We kick things off with a sequel we were mildly excited about but left us feeling underwhelmed. Enjoy! IN THEATERS My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 - As a concept, it's not a terrible idea.
