Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap Season 12 Episode 3 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . This time the girls are on a mini trip to see another one of Kyle's goddamn fucking stores. WHO CARES KYLE? GOODBYE KYLE! Honestly, if we have to see another store opening featuring Kyle's Kaftans we are going to quit Bravo. Just kidding but we're getting close. This week is pretty much a pile-on Kyle hate fest and we're all in. So if you like Kyle, don't listen. But if you're sick of the L...

Vertical Limit (Justice for Chris O'Donnell!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 2000 American survival thriller: Vertical Limit . This is a classic Mummy Dearest film because the tropes are plentiful. This movie has it all: falling through a crevasse, dangling from a cliff by a snow pick, explosives being detonated via sunlight, rich billionaires getting their comeuppance, dying wives, dying fathers, broken bones and frostbite stumps!

Selena (Justice for Edward James Olmos!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 1997's biographical musical drama film: Selena .

The Mummy 3 (Justice for Rachel Weisz!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 2008's action-adventure crap fest The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor . It's one hour and 52 minutes of pure anger inducing film making. Everything about it is hurtful to fans of the Mummy franchise. Truly, we Mummy Stans are not sure what we did to deserve Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and we reject it as part of the Mummy canon. It's a very bad film. So bad that Sloane fell asleep for most of it and missed a scene involving fighting Yetis. The only g...

Broken Arrow (Justice for Christian Slater!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 1996's nuclear bomb action-adventure film: Broken Arrow . This movie is out of bounds insane. The plot? Nonsense. The ending? We don't even know what happened. The music? Hans Zimmer's laziest work. All together these elements create a movie that is quintessential 90s viewing. It's a USA Network afternoon cozy movie and we're pretty sure you watched it during Dad's weekend. Yay divorce! Topics this week include being horny as hell for Christian Slater...

Real Housewives of Miami Season 4 Episode 11 (Justice for Gianni Versace's Ghost!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap Season 4, Episode 11 of Real Housewives of Miami ! The duo are fed up with Marysol's one trick pony performance as a low rent version of Mama Elsa. And if Sloane sees a bedazzled tumbler one more time she's going to throw her tv across the room. Nothing that exciting happens this episode (save for a sapphic rain soaked dinner) because next week there's going to be a battle Royale in the Versace mansion. Stay tuned because Zach and Sloane will be cover...

Real Housewives of Miami Season 4 Episode 10 (Justice for Guerdy's Gala!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap season 4 episode 10 of The Real Housewives of Miami ! As always a charity gala goes awry when an angry Larsa shows up hours late and starts a fight with oil slick/ grease trap Adriana. Seriously we just need to wring her out and get a little bit of the sheen off her face and hair. Maybe Guerdy can throw a charity event for Adriana where everyone donates a bottle of dry shampoo? The season is ramping up to what looks like a pretty epic battle between A...

Six Days Seven Nights (Justice for Anne Heche!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 1998's magazine editor ingenue / gruff older man action adventure film: Six Days Seven Nights . Even though it's unclear whether anyone else aside from Zach and Sloane and Sloane's sister have seen this film, the duo have a lot to discuss. That's because this film contains just about every 90's trope there is: plane crashes, desert islands, pirates, slouchy socks, linen shorts, stolen glances, big titty dancers, random pits where people just suddenly ...

Real Housewives of Miami Season 4 Episode 9 (Justice for Kiki?)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap Season 4, Episode 9 of Real Housewives of Miami. The ladies are somehow still in the Hamptons and there's a very dramatic health scare courtesy of Julia who doesn't know what a hangover is. The ladies rally and show up to Larsa's jewelry / "influencer" party. It was dark times. As usual Marysol comes for our girl Nicole and we will not stand by as Marysol picks on Nicole for no reason. We still don't know who Kiki is and we're no closer to finding out...

Real Housewives of Miami: Season 4 Episode 8 (No Justice for Julia's Eggs)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap Season 4, episode 8 of The Real Housewives of Miami . Our girls are still in the Hamptons doing...something? Boxing? Shopping at boutiques? Eating Julia's eggs? There's not much happening this episode other than Marysol pretending to be the star of the show (try again, sweaty!) and Julia giving Audriana a...best friend ring? It was weird. It was creepy. It made us dislike Julia even more than we already do, which we didn't know was possible. It's now ...

Scream 2 (Justice for Jerry O'Connell!)

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap 1997's classic American slasher sequel: Scream 2. The duo discuss everything from Bianca breath spray (a 90's make out party classic) to the unnecessary roughness of cranberry juice. Seriously why is it so intensely tart? As usual Sloane shares her love of a random character actor (this time it's Paul Giamatti), but then she shares her secret soft spot for mega hottie / comedy legend Jerry O'Connell. Oh, and there's definitely a lot of talk about "pus...

Send a text This week Zach and Sloane unwrap season 4, episode 7 of the iconic Real Housewives of Miami . Baby, baby, baby, the ladies did NOT come to play this episode. The producers of this episode gave us everything a Bravo fan could ever want: a trip to the Hamptons, a fight over the rooms, sapphic tub scenes, Lisa in Mariah Carey's outfit from the Heartbreaker music video, angry Latinx accents, and MORE. They're not even one night in on this trip and already the insults are flying and the l...

Real Housewives of Miami: Season 4 Episode 5 (Justice for Frankie!)
