Emma & Katie had another movie scheduled, but with Dolly Parton's passing, they decided they needed to discuss this 1992 almost-great romcom Straight Talk! 

Also expect lots of talk about fridges/capitalism/halloween decorations, and listen for Emma interventioning Katie in real time!

Fact Check: Dolly doesn't curse [https://www.countrythangdaily.com/dolly-parton-had-one-rule-before-singing-with-sabrina-carpenter/]! ...on camera. 

Straight Talk

Emma & Katie go to the office...on Broadway...in the 60s...to figure out what kind of female trap we can spring. There's also a lot of Curtain Talk, some historical asides, a lot of talking sugar on Robert Morse, Emma's college production of the show, and lots more.

Note: The documentary about Industrial musicals is Bathtubs Over Broadway [https://www.bathtubsoverbroadway.com/]

Fact Check: Rudy Vallée is, of course, not in The Philadelphia Story, thats Jimmy Stewart! Rudy Vallée is in The Palm Beach Story!

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Emma & Katie check in on the steamy movie adaptation of Sally Thorne's The Hating Game, and Emma's definitely didn't throw her phone into the wall. We talk the decline of sex in movies, issue a notes app apology about AI, Katie learns about Jimothy the raccoon, what an episode!



Fact Check: Duck Duck Go does have AI features, it just gives the ability to turn them completely off.

The Hating Game

Emma & Katie spend a lot of time talking about 90s and 00s music, but get around to this Hillary Duff y2k-era romcom eventually. It's got Jennifer Coolidge! Volkswagen Beetles! Earthquakes! Droughts! The brand new form of communication known as texting!  And somehow we don't talk about Lizzie McGuire at all? Maybe next time. 

A Cinderella Story

Emma & Katie are joined by a third Theatre Kid, Gia, to really nerd out on 2003''s Camp. A cultural landmark for kids who just gotta sing and dance and monologue, this DVD was passed around both millennial and gen z circles, so the kids haven't changed that much.  We talk early theatre experiences, the special place of the Straight Boy in theatre circles, and how much this movie gets right about these specific types of teenagers, even as it gets so many other things very, very wrong. But Anna Kendrick burns the house down, so that should be enough for everyone, really.

Camp with Gia Szekeres

This week Emma and Katie dive face first into the emotional roller-coster 2026 Netflix original Voicemails for Isabel. Tune in as they chat the emotional highs, lows and questionable stalkery choices made. Are dessert tacos as delicious as they sound? Or are you team katie and think they're too sticky? Listen to find out!

Voicemails for Isabel

Get out your culottes, ladies, we're going to Florida! Emma & Katie discuss the 2021 friendship-com Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar, which is basically what would happen if they were to go on vacation together. 

It's a real tit flapper, do get ready for lengthy digressions about Teen Witch, Tommy Bahama vs Margaritaville, and multiple pleas to prove that you, the listeners, are real. 

Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar

Ready to bend it like Beckham and absolutely fumble it like Joe? ⚽ This week we're revisiting Bend It Like Beckham, where everyone is in love with the wrong person, everyone's keeping at least one secret, and poor Jess just wants to play soccer without causing an international family incident. Tune in as we debate if this wouldv'e been a better movie if Jess and Jules ended up together, why kissing your friends on the mouth is not casual and how Charlie made sure Emma knew every soccer (.....sorry, football....) mistake. 

Bend It Like Beckham 

Emma had a rough time with this one. Maybe it's because she accidentally watched the TV edit. Maybe it's her pathological hatred for the lead actor. Maybe it's just not that great of a movie. Nah, couldn't be that. We show people the money, we complete you, you had us at hello. All of that and more as we follow the asshole who wants to be good, Jerry Maguire. 

Jerry Maguire

It's a 2026 Netflix original baby!! Join Emma and Katie as they dive into the (allegedly not thoroughly researched) airplane airline company Air Cruz. It's run by Ms Jersey Girl herself, Jennifer Lopez and is lawyered by the grumpily charming Brett Goldstein. Get ready friends because this cast is STACKED. It should be said there is a small content warning for this episode: the word c$$t is used religiously by our fabulous hostesses (hey, it's not a bad word in England!) So strap into your cruz 1, put those tray tables away and enjoy the flight!
