Spooky Season wouldn't be the same without touching on this cultural phenomenon. Join your hosts as they tackle feminism, sassy little sisters (favorite genre alert!), witches, immortal cats, sexual awakenings, slutty menswear, virgins, and much more.

This episode is like Interview with a Vampire, but way less exciting. Nevertheless, we soldier on. We can't all be Ann Rice, after all. Join our resident white man, freed from the corner that Adri sent him to (on time out), as we talk about Star Wars, Bridgerton, DComs, and whatever is going on in that brain of his (and only because Helene is indisposed and we needed some content for everyone).

We're taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about season 3 of a teeny tiny not at all popular current show on Netflix: Bridgerton. Helene and Adri talk about Cressida Cowper, Lord Debling, Colin, Penelope, Violet, Lady Danbury's iconic behavior, whether or not the Queen was needed as a character this season, Mother-daughter dynamics, Francesca and John, and that BIG LGBTQ+ twist that Adri is happy to admit she was SO WRONG about.

Were you obsessed with Harriet the Spy (1996) and Clueless (1995) as a kid? Boy oh boy... do we have great news for you! Get a Clue (2002) is streaming on Disney+ (and in our hearts), as Helene and Adri already know. Join your hosts on a journey through improbable journalistic standards and publishing schedules, questions on how a journalist can afford to live such a luxe life, and wondering what Lexi Gold's mom does for work (because let's be real, she's the real breadwinner in this family). Also, does her mom ever come back from her business trip?

We're getting shipped off to George Washington Military School! Well, not literally, but we're watching the 2002 DCom Cadet Kelly starring the incomparable Hilary Duff at the height of the Lizzie McGuire Era. And what an era that was... Join Helene and Adri as they talk about neurodivergent characters, not being subject matter experts on anything yet still yapping about things anyway, gender norms, and much more.

Do you ever feel like you lost your luck? Well, then, make sure you didn't attend an Irish festival like Kyle did in the 2001 film The Luck of the Irish. Join Helene and Adri as they gab about this DCom, racism, identity, and stereotyping.

It's the quintessential coming-of-age story of a boy who begins puberty and finds out that he's actually *checks notes* a merman?! Join Adri and Helene as they gab about the 1999 DCom, The Thirteenth Year. Filled with doppelgangers of actually more famous actors of the time, this gem of a movie also made Helene and Adri wonder... Are there mermaid (merthey/them?) OBGYNs? Is there such a thing as Mer Medical School? Join us on this journey and discover more about the lore this movie implies by giving us a listen.

Join Helene and Adri as they visit 2047 with Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century (1999). Helene and Adri talk about how this 1999 movie shows the future as a still capitalist nightmare where 13 year-olds are master hackers. Are they just born with all these technogical skills? If so, when does this start? Did this 1999 DCom foresee the future? And are we buying it? Give us a listen and find out.

Your hosts are kicking off Season 2 (covering DComs) by re-watching (and talking about) Chat GPT Incarnate, also known as Smart House (1999). Helene and Adri talk about how this film was horny, weirdly prophetic, and possibly the genesis of one of the greatest technological scams of the last ten years, Theranos. Did this 1999 DCom foresee the future? And are we buying it? Give us a listen and find out.

Welcome to the first ever Gummies, also known as the Gummy Awards. As we wrap up our Olsen twins-fueled journey through the past, we are discussing the best (and not so great) moments of the rewatch that we have studiously completed. Hosts Adri and Helene talk about the fashion we couldn’t stop thinking about, who the best parents were in these movies, our favorite (and not so favorite) characters, and all that. They also talk about the media we’ve been consuming, including the Disney+ Percy Jackson series, Sex and the City, their shared love for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and much more.

Here's the episode that was never supposed to happen: It Takes Two (1995). A departure from our Dualstar Entertainment Produced-Journey, this film starring the Olsen Twins is a throwback for the ages. Adri is joined by our resident White Man from our White Man's Corner, Seth, to talk about the shenanigans two identical strangers get up to when their world is threatened by adoption to what amounts to be a workhouse (Amanda) and an evil stepmother (Allysa). They get into some prince and the pauper-like scenarios. Like in Billboard Dad (1998), the girls hatch a matchmaking plan that they hope will solve all their dilemmas. The lucky pair? Roger Callaway (Steve Guttenberg), a communications billionaire father to Allysa, and Diane (Kristie Alley, RIP), Amanda's case worker at the orphanage. Did this 1995 movie manage to charm us? Find out by joining in on the fun.

One more for the road! We're back with an episode we originally didn't plan on making: Billboard Dad (1998). In this Dualstar/Tapestry production, tweens Tess (Mary-Kate Olsen) and Emily (Ashley Olsen) try to hook up their dad via a reliable dating service: billboards. Honestly, the premise is in the name of the movie. Join us for a romp through Venice (not Venice Beach, just Venice), where sundaes are served in the tallest possible glass, eyesight varies from scene to scene (looking at you, optometrist Brooke), and Van Ghogh's Ear is not the name of a Spanish pop band (iykyk).
