This week, the girls are stepping into the evidence room to take a look at how Hollywood adapts real tragedies, and what gets lost (or found) in the translation.
Tune in to hear them chat about the legacy of In Cold Blood (1967), Zac Efron’s unsettling charm in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019), and meta pop culture commentary in I, Tonya (2017) - plus what each film gets right (and wrong) about turning real people into characters.

Friday Dec 19, 2025

This week, the girls are asking the most important question of all: what makes a Christmas movie a Christmas movie?
From the action-movie chaos of Die Hard (1988), to the cynical comedy of Scrooged (1988), to the earnest, heart-tugging magic of It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), they break down why makes each film has endured the test of time - and what they teach us about generosity, community, and selflessness.

Friday Nov 21, 2025

This week, the girls are hopping in their getaway car and going full outlaw.
From the history-making rebelliousness of Bonnie & Clyde (1967), to Scorsese's operatic Goodfellas (1990), to the darkly funny melancholia of In Bruges (2008), the girls trace how gangsters have evolved on screen from youthful folk heroes, to glamour-soaked mobsters, to some guys on vacation who really need therapy.
