While You Were Sleeping/The Holiday

Happy holidays to all! This week Bethany and Joel talk about some holiday romcoms. We make wild speculations about our mother and some less wild ones.

Ever After/The Ugly Stepsister

Once upon a time... two siblings talked about Cinderella and the different ways it could be told. Join Joel and Bethany as they discuss the 90s classic Ever After (more classic for Bethany) and how our parents instincts that movies could teach us leftist ideology was at least somewhat correct. Then dive into a much darker and uglier version of the story with 2025's The Ugly Stepsister.

It's an accidental celebration of Noirvember! We would love to say we were clever enough to plan this but actually, as is often the case for us and so rarely the case for anyone in a film noir... we were just lucky.
