Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)

“We each need to find our own inspiration, Kiki. Sometimes it’s not easy.”

It's our first animated film! The wives are moving out of Ohio and heading to start life anew in California, so it was only right to talk about another gal moving to a new city--Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service.

BJ discusses her mixed feelings about moving into already settled places, Harmony tells a beautiful story about Mama Jo, her very own real-life "Osono," and the two get real about their fears and excitement about moving away.

Ice Princess (2005)

"What is so horrible about that? About feeling strong and graceful and beautiful for once in my life?"

We're enduring the ice cold midwest winter by hitting the ice and talking about the surprisingly feminist and wholly underrated ICE PRINCESS (2005). 

BJ relives her years as a competitive baton twirler feeling seen by Kim Cattrall's scary coach persona, Harmony confesses a secret childhood fascination with ballet dancers, and both decide that Joan Cusack is a national treasure and Hayden Panettiere's "Gen" is absolutely queer.

The Prom (2020)

"We have come to show this community that gay people, and gay positive icons such as myself, are made of the same flesh and blood as they are."

Happy New Year, Prom Party! This week the wives are covering what should have been the most on-brand movie possible for this show, the Broadway hit turned Netflix Original THE PROM (2020).

Harmony confesses she doesn't follow the career of Ryan Murphy, BJ puts on her musical theatre snob glasses, both have some pretty strong feelings about James Corden playing a gay character, and the two discuss whether or not a film we have mixed feelings about can still be groundbreaking, important, or impactful.

Juno (2007)

"I need to know that it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever."

We're closing out 2020 by talking about one of the wives favorite movies of all time, and one that feels more relevant now than ever, JUNO (2007).

Harmony finally agrees that she's the Paulie Bleeker to BJ's Juno, Mac MacGuff is praised for being the perfect teen girl movie dad that he is, and the wives dive into the film's surprisingly progressive gender themes surrounding pregnancy.

To Grandmother's House We Go (1992)

"Okay, well, you kids may as well learn this now. Grownups will say anything to get kids to cooperate."

Before we dare tackle the inevitable legacy of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, we're starting at the very beginning with TO GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE WE GO, the made-for-TV Christmas movie that showed the world FULL HOUSE's Michelle Tanner was actually two children.

BJ tells the story that got her bullied off of TikTok about trapping her little sister under a Christmas tree for four hours, Harmony's analysis of the runaway horse carriage scene gives BJ an asthma attack, and both dig up some really weird childhood memories that somehow relate to this weird movie starring five-year-olds.

Freaky (2020) w/ Michael Kennedy

"And guess what, I need a friend right now. And it’s like, you guys are smashing the s**t out of me."

Fresh on the heels of it's VOD release, we're talking about body swapping teen girl horror in FREAKY, with the film's co-writer, Michael Kennedy!

This week BJ gets really sentimental about FREAKY's highly-discussed "car scene," Harmony explains why body-swap movies are NOT inherently transphobic, and Michael talks about making Josh the queer representation he wished he had in high school. Who knew a gory-as-hell movie about a teen girl swapping bodies with a mass murderer would be so touching?

Yes, God, Yes (2019)

"What if we just tried to be honest and treat each other with respect? That is what Jesus wanted, right?"

This week BJ explains why googling "girl uses cellphone" has scarred her for life, Harmony relives the hell of suburban Ohio Sunday school, and both talk a lot about the life-affirming moments that exist from having even just one adult tell you that it's all going to be okay.

This week BJ talks about the rite of passage for Chicagoland teens experiencing John Hughes cinema, Harmony has a full breakdown after drawing a parallel from the treatment of Long Duk Dong to her own family's treatment of immigrants, and both have to grapple with the normalization of rape culture present in what is considered one of the most classic teen girl movies ever made.

Sydney White (2007) w/ Vanessa Guerrero

"If only there was a place where a superficial, materialistic b*tch could fit in... Oh, wait. There is" Fresh off the heels of the latest U.S. election, we're diving into baby's first socialism movie, the Amanda-Bynes-as-Snow-White flick SYDNEY WHITE (2007).

The wives are joined with comedian, co-host of the Kicking and Screaming podcast, and host of El Rey's 'Top 5,' Vanessa Guerrero, to talk about collegiate life as an introduction to dismantling the screwed up world of rigged democracies, the signs you might be dating a young Republican, whether or not we should trust angry white men with blogs, and embracing your inner dork.

**At the time of recording, Vanessa was using a different last name. We were given explicit permission to make the ridiculous sound edit of an Eddie Guerrero ring announcement to highlight the professional use of her maiden name.**
