Alright, alright, alright....with summer winding down we head back to school for our final installment of our Summer Series, discussing the 1993 cult classic: Dazed and Confused.

With summer in full SWING, we pack our dancing shoes and head up to the Catskills to discuss the fifth installment of our Summer Series, the 1987 classic: Dirty Dancing. We get into why Averyl (self-proclaimed "great dancer" and Swayze fan) hadn't seen that, how there's WAY more to this film than just dancing, Johnny and Baby's chemistry and if they really are "in love", how annoying some of the characters are (hint: Baby's sister), and more!

We get into why Hayley hadn't seen that, why it's more than just a "#girlpower" film, its realistic portrayal of female friendships, our collective LACK of sympathy for Wall Street bros, how sexy Usher, Frankie Valli, and the entire female cast are, plus lots more!

Enjoy!

If this pandemic hasn't got you feeling nostalgic for happier and simpler times, then watching Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging might do just that. We discuss this 2008 classic for Millennials and how in the world Averyl hadn't seen it?! As well as why Robbie (surprisingly) isn't the fuckboy we thought he'd be, how female friendships are realistically portrayed, how Georgia is a mood (especially in that stuffed olive costume), and why we can all have sex-god partners if we just ACCEPT OURSELVES (jk, but really, we could all practice more self-compassion and LOVE)!!!
Enjoy!
