It's episode 131! This month we decided to watch some fun movies featuring water-dwelling monsters. The lesson we learned is - never ever go swimming. If you must go near water at all, always have the biggest boat possible. We also got a sneak peek at a delightful new Asian-centric romantic comedy. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Crazy Rich Asians - Riches be crazy. THEME MOVIES Anaconda - Don't want none unless you're J.Lo, hon. Lake Placid - Worth it just for Betty White. Piranha 3D - Can there BE any mo...

Thanks for checking out episode 130. Our country is a complicated and frustrating place. This time around we chose a handful of movies about immigrants to the United States in an effort to expose ourselves and our listeners to authentic human stories. We kick things off with something a little lighter. We welcome your feedback and thoughts. Enjoy. IN THEATERS Ant-Man and The Wasp - So funny! If you liked the first one, the sequel will not disappoint. THEME MOVIES The Joy Luck Club - Meh. A littl...

This month we focused on 4 adaptations of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses", or as I like to call it, Dangerous Liaisons. We learned some valuable lessons, such as "Don't have sex, cause you WILL get pregnant. And die." We kick things off with the latest Star Wars flick. Thanks for joining us! IN THEATERS Solo: A Star Wars Story - Totally fun, despite the lack of Miles Teller THEME MOVIES Dangerous Liaisons - Somehow not buying John Malkovich as charming and irre...

Happy May, listeners! This month we spent some time exploring convents with a few movies about nuns. We kick things off with Melissa McCarthy's latest flick (and another female dominated cast!)

Sister Act - Sing with us sweet Seraphim Novitiate - There's a lot to unpack here but it still might not be enough. The Little Hours - We don't get it. ...

Happy April, listeners! This time around we watched some movies about creepy crawlies but first our new movie is the latest Steven Spielberg fantasy joint. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Ready Player One - Looks great! Super fun! (minus a particularly unfortunate change from the book) THEME MOVIES The Fly (1986) - Ewwwww!!!! Arachnophobia - Get off me! A Bug's Life - Yay, Madeline Kahn! Ant-Man - Still good! E-mail us at [email protected], follow us on Twitter and Instagram @flickyeahcast , like us...

This month we took a listener request and watched a handful of movies about classical composers--though, as it turns out, not about composing. We kick things off with the Oprah-filled adaptation of the Madeline L'Engle classic, A Wrinkle in Time. Enjoy! IN THEATERS A Wrinkle in Time - Regardless of how you feel about the book, the movie leaves something to be desired. THEME MOVIES Song of Love - Sweet and fun but not enough composing. Amadeus - More composing but still not enough. Impromptu - Ho...

It's the first episode of 2018! We went light this time around and watched a bunch of movies with over-the-top obsessive stalker creeps.

THEME MOVIES What Lies Beneath - Scarier than we thought! Obsessed - With Idris Elba? Understandable. The Boy Next Door - This is why you shouldn't talk to your neighbors. When the Boug...

Happy holidays, everyone! In episode 23, we discuss three campy Christmas horror movies and one that, despite the trailers, isn't campy at all.

In episode 121, we discuss a few cogs in the wheel of Corporate America. First we kick things off with a new indie flick that is definitely worth seeing. Enjoy! IN THEATERS The Florida Project - Powerful and different. THEME MOVIES 9 to 5 - "You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder." Glengarry Glen Ross - We'd go back to confirm that they never say "glen ross" but then we'd have to watch it again. Office Space - Is hypnosis real? Boiler Room - Based on the title alone, we were surprised this ...

Happy Guy Fawkes day everyone! In honor of November 5th, we picked a bunch of movies with "vee" in the title. But first we kick things off with Blake Lively's latest flick. It's a weird one. Enjoy! IN THEATERS All I See is You - Lotta metaphors, not always clear what they're supposed to represent. THEME MOVIES The V.I.P.s - Spend a day at ye old airport.

It's episode 118! This time we chose black and white movies that were filmed after the invention of color. But first we start out with Ellen Page's "new" thriller, Flatliners. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Flatliners - Mediocre remake but we're mildly interested in seeing the original. THEME MOVIES Young Frankenstein - A Mel Brooks movie that works for us. Coffee and Cigarettes - Not all winners but definitely interesting and different. Good Night, and Good Luck. - Snoozefest 2005! The Mist - Don't go in t...

In episode 117 we discuss a handful of movies that we saw when we were teenagers and hated. The only thing we remember is that they were terrible. We decided it might be time to revisit them to see if we'd gain new perspective. We kick things off with a new movie that we may need to revisit in 10-15 years. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Mother! - Text book definition of mixed metaphors. THEME MOVIES Chicago - Better on stage? Garden State - Not the worst. Certainly not the best either. Closer - Who is this ...

Greatest love story ever told? It's certainly been told a lot! We check out a few versions of Shakespeare's classic. Turns out it still has a lot to teach us (except about gnomes. That just doesn't make sense). IN THEATERS The Hitman's Bodyguard - Fun but nothing special. Thank goodness for Selma Hayek. THEME MOVIES West Side Story - Anne's in heaven. Hannah's not impressed. Romeo and Juliet (1968) - Very well done and accessible. Romeo + Juliet - Baz Luhrmann is a miracle worker. Gnomeo & J...

This fortnight we watched some meta movies, specifically non-documentary movies about the making of real movies. Made us want to watch the originals! Check out Episode 27 for more thoughts on Psycho. IN THEATERS The Dark Tower - Matthew McConaughey is surprisingly not awful. THEME MOVIES Ed Wood - Lovable weirdo. Like Johnny Depp used to be. Baadasssss! - Delightful, frightful... insightful.

Hannah just got back from a trip to Napa Valley so naturally we decided to keep the spirit alive and watch a handful of movies that center around wine.

IN THEATERS The Big Sick - Really funny and pretty romantic. THEME MOVIES Sideways - Not quite as terrible as Anne remembers. Bottle Shock - Cute! Weird.. A Heavenly Vintage/The Vintner's Luck - Neither tit...

Thanks for checkin' out ep 109. This time around we discuss movies based on video games. It may just be the movies we chose but they certainly don't bode well for the genre. We kick things off with the latest in the Alien franchise. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Alien: Covenant - Sure, it's fine but is it necessary, or even fun? THEME MOVIES Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - Even a kickass lady doesn't save this one. Resident Evil - You go, Milla Jovovich. Warcraft - It looks pretty good. Oh, and Ben Foster still ...

Back in episode 77 we chatted about a few movies with "breakfast" in the title. In that spirit, this time around we watched a handful with "dinner" in the title. We kick things off with the most recent installment in the fast and furious franchise. If you're interested in our thoughts on the first 7 movies, check out episode 90. Enjoy! IN THEATERS The Fate of the Furious - Fun like the rest of the series. THEME MOVIES The Man Who Came to Dinner - Are you a good witch or a bad witch? Guess Who's ...

No new movie this episode. Instead, we chat about 6 older movies--one for each lead cast member of Friends. You've probably gleaned over the last 100+ episodes that it's Hannah's favorite show and Hannah and Anne are perpetually working their way through the series when they need to take the edge off of a dramatic or scary movie, when they're eating dinner immediately before recording, when they're dying Hannah's hair, etc. The Pallbearer (David Schwimmer) - 1990s version of The Graduate?

Have you ever seen a ghost? Or better yet--fallen in love with one? For episode 105 we discuss movies that explore just that. First we have a solid chat about the enchanting live-action remake of a Disney classic. Enjoy! IN THEATERS Beauty and the Beast (2017) - Magical and beautiful. THEME MOVIES The Ghost and Mrs. Muir - Is the sexism intentional commentary or just indicative of the era in which the movie was made? Ghost - Sexy? Thrilling? Blah? Just Like Heaven - Not good. Anyone wanna watch ...

For episode 104, we watched a handful of fun space movies. 3 of the movies are fictional, one is real. We'll let you figure out which.

THEME MOVIES Apollo 13 - "Houston, we have a problem." Armageddon - "Don't wanna close my eyes..." Space Cowboys - "Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby." The Martian - Gah! So good!
