When Heather Met Sarah"She'd Do Anything For Attention.": SALTBURNYou’d have to practically be dead to not hear of this cinematic phenomenon that has swept the world.
Dead-like practically all the characters from the movie. Emerald Fennell has done it again; horrifying audiences everywhere with her unabashed snarky, Female Gaze-riddled stories. If you ever stalked someone from afar and weaseled your way into their periphery just to breathe their CO2, then this film is for you. It’s giving Yolanda shooting her beloved Selena vibes. Perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, this movie asks you to show it where it hurt you on the doll.
...2024-02-1441 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Here's Looking At You, Kid.": CASABLANCAOK. We did it. Sarah and Heather dared to tackle the archaic Behemoth of a classic. Surprisingly, they both had never seen this one.
Hold on to your papers! The definable romance power couple “Boags and Bergman” reunited in the midst of political strife, exile, and uncertainty, which always turns the passion to an 11. Will the Nasty Germans prevail? Will their love be resuscitated? Will Sam play their song again, which will steer their loins to each other like uncontrollable magnets? Will large quantities of alcohol be consumed in every single scene?
We’ve got questi...2023-12-1534 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"If You Want Monogamy, Marry A Swan.": HEARTBURNOh look, Heather suggested a movie that Sarah didn’t sneer at and veto!! Heather should go play the lottery!
After a brief hiatus, we head on down to the 80’s to a demure and soft Meryl Streep and a philandering scoundrel trope timelessly embodied by Jack Nicholson. This Nora Ephron film had us feeling all kinds of melancholic thoughts, as it explored Ephron’s own personal story of blushing marriage to the throes of pie-wielding divorce.
At least she pawned the Ring. And we are team Richard.

Richard Gere and Gary Marshall certainly thought so when they begged Julia Roberts to star opposite Gere in another Wacky Rom-Com destined to win everyone’s hearts. Welp, they definitely tried.
Tune in to hear why it’s never as good as the first time, while Sarah and Heather plot their next madcap vacation tracing the very fated steps of our lead characters Ike and Maggie, as they sprint away from and then run towards Love.
**Smoosh**
*intro/outro by Jumbled* IG...2023-09-0929 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“Fuck Off, For Sure! Like Totally!”: VALLEY GIRLBefore Renfield, there was Randy. Randy is both his character’s name and personality. Come see a baby Nicholas Cage from the mean streets of Hollywood woo a coddled, prissy Valley girl (Deborah Foreman) while hiding in a shower.
Hey when and where romance hits, it just hits.
Who are we to comment on suburban Mall Culture vs. dirty-city Punk Culture? Opposites attract. Full stop.
Sarah and Heather go “over the hill” and not so deep into the Valley for this lively and light hearted episode. (Heather tries not to gag herself with a spoo...2023-08-2236 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“I Don’t Want To Need You, Because I Can’t Have You.”: THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTYCrack open your handheld fan for this one, it’s a bright shinning seductive, steamer of a movie... You will need to fan yourself dramatically, to either cool yourself off or dry your tears. (or both)
Directed by Clint Eastwood, starring himself paired with Meryl Streep, the complexities explode within the bounds of the bare simplicities that compose this story.
Sarah and Heather discuss the fatalistic reverence in which these two soul mates meet and mate for only a brief, but unforgettable four days. Their connection so completely indelible and at times unspoken but so pr...2023-07-3040 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"His Name Is Blane? That's A Major Appliance, That's Not A Name!": PRETTY IN PINKYou know it, you love it, it’s the classic Cinderella story told by way of 1986. Molly Ringwald defies all fashion logic by daring to wear pink as a redhead, and crush unabashedly on the rich, popular guy while her lipgloss pouts from the “wrong side of the tracks.”
But guess what? He likes her back! But like all unassuming, naturally cool chicks, she has a sidekick guy friend who is not-so-secretly pining for her: Enter the Duckie - Forlorn, poetic, and a slightly pathetic courtier who is playing the wear-down game with his female BFF.
A mo...2023-07-1035 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"220, 221. Whatever It Takes.": MR MOMOk so yeah, this is an obvious Heather choice. Yeah, but this movie was revolutionary for its time, depicting an astonishing (gasp) reversal of gender roles with elements of campy fantasy and 80’s hijinks thrown in. Did we mention it also stars Terri Garr?
This is the first movie in which Michael Keaton carries top billing and his natural comedic talents shine as he foibles the unknown gendered world of unpaid maternal labor AKA: The Housewife. Don’t worry, he eventually reclaims his alpha throne and his wife heads back into the monotonous domestic terrain at the end...2023-06-2525 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“I Thought That I Was Headed To A Place That Would Turn Out Tomorrow's Leaders, Not Their Wives.”: MONA LISA SMILEIf Little Women and Dead Poet’s Society had a baby it, would be Mona Lisa Smile.
This snapshot of New England academia life for a (GASP) female in the 1950’s has some downright cringey and uncomfortable moments. All the more reason to watch and perhaps grant the Boomer generation a tiny bit more empathy. They actually let women go to college back then, or as Heather's Dad would jokingly phrase it, “To get their MRS. degree.”
Sarah and Heather discuss what women actually wanted then and now, and how muddied their desires became when wrapped...2023-06-1839 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"What Will Your Verse Be?": DEAD POETS SOCIETY“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
Okay, so this movie isn’t a Rom-Com or Rom Dram... More along the lines of a Dram Dram. But as succulently deep and inspirational as it can get. This 1989 epistle to Freethinking and Non-Conformity chews on your brain and whispers in y...2023-06-1247 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"O Pointy Birds, O Pointy Pointy. Anoint My Head, Anointy-nointy.": THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINSWe'll start by revealing this is a “Sarah Pick.” Let’s just say this movie might need a third brain in the mix, because it most certainly does not age well.
Sure, we absolutely love Steve Martin, and completely ADORE Kathleen Turner but even Far Right, Trump worshippers would have beef with this film’s racist quips and misogynist storyline (or would they?). All blatant un-PC attributes aside, we enjoyed the smart, witty slapstick humor that was born in the 70’s, that only Steve Martin can deliver, coupled with Kathleen Turner’s throaty and mustache twirly Femme Fatale hijin...2023-06-0424 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“Hello, Stupid. It's Good To See You.”: SAN JUNIPERO, BLACK MIRRORWell, we’ve arrived at yet another “Heather’s Friend Litmus Test” cinematic works.
Enter the colorful sights and delightful sounds of mythical, yet antithetical town of San Junipero. And by sounds, I mean the absolute cheesy and serotonin inducing anthems of our youth.
Get ready to have your mind completely blown, as this episode delves into the complexities found in marrying lifes’ anguished tragedies with ecstatic joys, while simultaneously begging the question of “what’s next?” (The Afterlife)

Until now, since Sarah is hell bent on educating her with cinematic classics.
Join us as we wade through the original Bosom Buddies’ inspiration, shocking film audiences everywhere with the sight of two men in dresses, vying for the affection of none other than Marylin Monroe. Marylin wears outfits that are “downright pornographic,” according to Sarah but Heather ain’t mad at them at all. It is quite hard to look away from her in this movie, as she steals every single scene, playing dumb and gullible...2023-05-1532 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“That Was The Night That I Died, And Someone Else Was Saved.": SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMYAfter Heather is "ridiculed" for choosing yet another 90’s era movie, Sarah and Heather dive into this “feel-not-so-good” movie about domestic violence. Yes, you called it: a real knee slapper.
This movie will have you checking your own towel rack for micro signs of psychopathy. With sweeping views of Cape Cod (The Carolinas) and the anxiety-riddled life of a wife held captive by her obsessive, controlling, and violent husband, this movie is giving OG True Crime Vibes galore.
You’ll insist on a twin bed for one after viewing this perilous heroine’s journey of jump scare...2023-04-2940 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"I Have Reflected. It's Fate. Everything Is Fate.": A ROOM WITH A VIEWDid you know that this is not a James Bond film?
Heather was at first befuddled by Sarah’s choice, but the mystery was revealed as soon as Helena Bonham graced the stage.
Join us as we dig in and explore the romantic sun swept setting of this film that casts a lover’s spell on the protagonists: Florence, Italy. Back when women had to wait to be kissed, or rather devoured by handsome blond gentlemen in barley fields that go up to your shoulders. You will simply not recognize Daniel Day Lewis in his stod...2023-04-2236 minWhen Heather Met SarahSo, Is This A Full Service Date, Frank? I'm Just Asking You To Dance.": THE BODYGUARDDon’t make Heather sing the theme song... You know it’s already on repeat on your head right now, just reading the title of this movie. Well don’t worry, I do regale Sarah’s and your own lucky ears with a few belted a cappella/strangled notes of this catchy ditty in our latest podcast episode.
Has Whitney Houston ever looked and sounded more radiant than in her role as a Pop icon Singer (nail meet head)?? Her chemistry with Kevin Costner sizzles and slices scarves in this action packed romance that actually makes you feel the...2023-04-1543 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Welcome To Hollywood! What's Your Dream?": PRETTY WOMANWhat’s that old saying??? Chivalry and Misogyny aren’t dead?
*Insert Sarah Rolling her eyes here*
We’re back to the 90’s, a decade rife with blockbuster hits romanticizing modern day Cinder-Fucking-ella stories.
But this time, Hollywood tips its bedazzled Chauffeur hat to the oldest profession. Yes, that’s right, good old fashioned prostitution. Directed by Gary Marshall, of course! Because women forced to walk the streets due to severe financial strain in a society where men hold the pursestrings is hilarious AND heartwarming. Don’t worry, the rich man will pick up the check...2023-04-0944 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“Please God, Don’t Let Me Fall In Love And Want To Do Disgusting Things.": MERMAIDSThis week’s episode makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside, better than a shot of tequila. Almost. Mermaids - Cher’s own Mini-Me Matriarchal kingdom offers a colorful and tantalizing pu-pu plater of single mother issues, Mother/Daughter dynamics, sexual awakening, with a thick slice of fear of abandonment for dessert.
The chemistry of this family trio; Cher, Winona Ryder, and the debut of Christina Ricci is pure, playful perfection and a sheer delight to watch. Sarah and Heather actually make it through this episode without disagreeing on the intricate, cinematic symbolism, so hey. That’s some...2023-04-0132 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"What The Hell Do You Think Leona Really Puts In That Pizza?": MYSTIC PIZZAOh yes that early post-high school optimism. Your whole life is ahead of you...
Your armpits might smell like pizza grease and old beer, from working at the local pizza joint, but you’re going to get outta here and make something of yourself, right? It’s written in the stars. This movie smells, tastes, and celebrates New England small town living, keeping it “light and sweet” with some heavy rites-of-passage and prophetic childhood is officially over dilemmas, for three “blood sisters pinky swear” childhood friends.
Sarah and Heather adore this film, so tune in to hear us dissect such observations...2023-03-1944 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Here It Is, My Own Little Beaver Trap.": FOUL PLAYWelcome to the 70’s! In this week’s episode, we walk down Heather’s childhood lane, quite literally to the movie she used to watch at her friend’s house over and over because she wasn’t allowed to watch such filth at home. We give you, the box-office success and movie that catapulted Goldie Hawn and Dudley Moore to fame, “Foul Play.”
If you are confused by Goldie Hawn’s obvious Farrah Fawcett feathered hair, don’t be, as Farrah was originally pegged for the lead. (Oops. No wonder I wasn’t allowed to watch this movie) Sarah and Heather don’t agree...2023-03-1130 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Stay Virtuous.": SUNDAY IN NEW YORK“I know this movie came out in 1963, but Jeepers Criminy, why are men so obsessed with controlling a woman’s virginity?” Heather asks, steam emitting from her ears. “Calm down,” says Sarah. “Consider the time era, it is actually quite progressive for that decade,” as her eyes dart nervously back and forth.
Join us, as we examine this Rom Com, love triangle blueprint of a movie, and take a stroll with us on a rainy and steamy, “Sunday In New York.” Jane Fonda bats this one out of the park, taking all her mustered up training as an actor to portra...2023-03-0526 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“Don't You Understand That Everything I Do, I Do It For You? Anything That Might Be Special In Me, Is You.”: GREAT EXPECTATIONSSarah and Heather are taking you all the way back to 1998, when the male gaze was still in full swing. Oh wait, it still is.
And yes, before you you ask, “Another Ethan Hawke Movie???” We ask you to humbly deal with it. His smoldering, passionate eyes demand it. Come with us as we confront our potential Dinsmore/Havisham futures, drinking noon martinis with black eyeliner wingtips, lime sherbet eyeshadow, complete with a fashionable boudoir kaftan, surrounded by lush plants and a full figured cat, while wedding cake slowly rots in the forecourt. A gal can dream, amir...2023-02-2627 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“I Don’t Believe People Are Meant To Be In Relationships.”: I HATE VALENTINE'S DAYFinally a movie with a title Sarah can get behind. If you loathe Hallmark created high pressure Hollidays, this movie is for you! The power duo of Nia Vardalos and John Corbett from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” reunites again, most likely to propel her real life divorce, and (brace yourselves)...this time, Nia is blonde.
Sarah and Heather hash the merits and pitfalls of the ole’ VD, and how they play out in this cute, but fairly predictable Rom Com revolving around a Tapas restaurant.
Heather says it is worth a watch for the NYC beau...2023-02-1721 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"You. Me. And Five Bucks.": REALITY BITESThis week’s episode delves into the time capsule that is a true ode to the Mid 90’s. When baby doll dresses, questioning authority, and the ole’ Michelin dinner pairing of diet coke and cigarettes was revered. Sigh. Those were the days... Remember when you still wanted to change the world?
Ben Stiller directs this coming of age ensemble cast, where you can still openly lust after Ethan Hawke’s floppy, careless hair, still see the smoldering lust of platonic passion in Winona Ryder's chocolate brown eyes, and hear Janeane Garofalo’s sarcastic one-liner comedic perfection. Oh, and also ta...2023-02-0528 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“I Carried A Watermelon...”: DIRTY DANCINGWritten by Eleanor Bergstein and directed by Emile Ardolino.
This steamy, summer camp classic certainly holds up.
If you haven’t seen it in a while, do yourself a favor and put on this cinematic aphrodisiac!
Warning: Not recommended to watch before you actually go out dancing. :X They might have to curb you. True story.
Remember when youths would grind and writhe their hormone-laden bodies against each other, in a dark, sweaty staff barracks, where passion coursed through every hip gyration and Rockette style kick? Me neither, but ma...2023-01-2841 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Love Sucks.": ST. ELMO'S FIREIf you are nostalgic for crimped hair, bro code, and cocaine, you’re in luck because this week Sarah and Heather re-watched St. Elmo’s Fire for the 400th time, and Heather hated it surprisingly less. In summation, the Brat Pack graduates from college, and their weekly detention meetings move to a dive bar full of scorching hot saxophone players, torch-carrying romantic friendships, fear of commitment disguised as hyper promiscuity, and problematic stalking that was considered cute back then. Anyone else miss 1985?
Join us as we pillage and plunder the vestiges of the 80’s co-ed friendship tribe as it...2023-01-2240 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“I Come Home And Catch You Up To Your Nuts In Lady Shagging Godiva!”: SLIDING DOORSAh yes, the glorious late 90’s. When Gywnneth wasn’t yet steaming her bean, and hadn’t thrown in the towel on acting (yet.) This movie gave adequate reasons why her character might be rather steamed, as her worthless bloke of a boyfriend plays every horrible, gutless, cheating trope that ever troped.
Cleverly diverting this story into two parallel “Choose your own adventures," delightfully showing what might have transpired if she missed her fateful tube ride home, versus just making it by the skin of a sliding door. Sarah and Heather additionally discuss moments in their own lives in...2023-01-1429 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“Well, It Must Have Been One Hell Of A Night We're About To Have.”: BEFORE MIDNIGHTBefore Midnight. “The end of the affair,” and the end of the trilogy...
This is the morning after movie. When you wake up after the hot night before, bottles strewn about the room, the bed sheets on the floor like a make-shift moat for the mattress castle of passion. Harsh daylight streams into the room, highlighting the dust beams, and your eyes squint as your head throbs.
Is your lover from the night before still there?? Rub your eyes, chug some water, and look around… then watch this movie.
In this third movie, Celine a...2023-01-0641 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"But Baby Fish Mouth Is Sweeping The Nation.": WHEN HARRY MET SALLYIs this a little off the top, or a lot on the nose?
You were expecting it, and Oui-la! We did it. THE MOVIE.
This episode might be our most quote laden reverie that ever was! It’s a quote off to end all quote offs. (Don’t quote me…)
You cannot beat this ultra rich, beautifully curated Godmother of rom-coms that is a cinematic tribute to the exploration of the polarizing question: Can Men and Women ever be “Just Friends?” (In Bed)(On the Side)

Now I know why I like it so much…This holiday movie might possibly be the cinematic embodiment of that famous Christmas song by The Waitresses, “Christmas Wrapping." (The highest of seasonal compliments…)
Add in Kate Winslet and Jude Law, along with Unrequited love, English-Countryside-in-the-snow Porn with cozy pubs, roaring fires, living room tents, and full glasses of red wine consumed in cozy sweaters, with the expected Cameron Diaz dance scene, of course, and you get a Christmas movie that d...2022-12-2324 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"I'd Jump On The Ryan Gosling Train.": HOLIDATEAh yes, the Holidays... Where everyone feels sorry for the Singles of the world and tries to set them up to make themselves feel better, touting there must be a lid for every pot. How about a business deal where you always have a prerequisite date for every stupid, high pressure Holiday and try your hardest not to fall in love with them? Too on the red reindeer’s nose? We thought so too. This “Anti-Rom Com,” staring Emma Roberts delivers on witty repartee and awkwardly bizarre family traditions, while we watch a predictable outcome unfold in a pleasingly comedic...2022-12-1024 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“Company. What Else Is There?”: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYSGotta love the Holidays, right? A swirl of muddled emotions mixed in with nostalgic family traditions = a special kind of eggnog flavored existential dread. Sarah and Heather discuss the witty cinematic platitudes and spot on dysfunctional family portrayals found in Jodie Foster’s heavy-hitting directorial debut: Home For The Holidays.
You will be captivated by Robert Downey Jr.’s heroin-fueled performance, as it dovetails with awkward sexual tension with his on-screen sister Holly Hunter = Not your average Hallmark holiday movie.
Join us as we plumb the depths of that excruciatingly relatable, holiday-inspired malaise that comes with...2022-12-0323 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"This Corn Is Like An Angel.": DAN IN REAL LIFETake that creamed corn in for a spoon-jet landing with a Holiday feel meh/feel good family ensemble movie. Steve Carell takes us on a emotional journey playing a depressed widower, father of 3 girls who also writes for an advice column.
Enter a huge family get together with a potential love interest (Juliette Binoche) in tow, and heartwarming awkward comedy ensues! If you have ever been forced to sleep in the storage room next to the loud dryer at family gatherings or ever wondered if Dane Cook can sing, this movie is for you! Or like Sarah...2022-11-2425 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Let's Cross Over.": EAT, PRAY, LOVE“The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving. I didn't want to destroy anything or anybody. I just wanted to slip quietly out the back door, without causing any fuss or consequences, and then not stop running until I reached Greenland.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
This BOOK. Oh, this book rocked the lives of so many women. The movie is certainly decent, but this is a case where Heather implores you to read the book. (Insert Sarah rolling her eyes…)
The movie is pure lo...2022-11-1849 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Those Most Deserving Of Love Are Seldom Made Happy By It.": DANGEROUS LIAISONSOh, this movie effed us UP. From the very first scene of the candle lighting of the chandelier, when you are lulled into an ASMR seduction as the sexual sound of the candles clinking together as the austere chandelier is being raised…..followed by Razor wit, heaving bosoms, powdered wigs, and Johnny Malk finally growing a heart like the Grinch, only to have it evicerated by a sword = Swoon.
This movie freely mocks societal’s double-edged hypocritical standards of virtue, purity, and gender privilege, and at the same time employs each character into a twisted willing player of a s...2022-11-1141 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“Each Time You Happen To Me All Over Again.”: THE AGE OF INNOCENCEWelcome to the not-so-subtle land of universal keeping up appearances and carrying the burden of expected conformist tradition - The early 1870’s in “liberated” America.
Heather and Sarah whole-heartedly agree that this movie is dreadfully, and excruciatingly spectacular, so at least there’s no aimless arguing in this episode (You’ll have to wait until the next one for that). The whole movie cinematically captures the intimate and not so intimate moments of desperate, unrequited love, all set within in a backdrop of duty and paying homage to a judging society that is quietly pretending not to watch. Mart...2022-11-0337 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"I Have Crossed Oceans Of Time To Find You.": BRAM STOKER'S DRACULAOk, we’ve arrived at the sexiest horror movie of all time. You’re aroused, but you don’t know if it is fear or lust, or just the natural response from the thick velvety wardrobe goodness chosen for this epic film. Sarah and Heather open a vein, and their livers as they go dive into this decadent tale of two OG soul mates, and toast the concept of the "kind" thing being to personally drive a Bowie knife into your beloved’s heart.
Don’t worry, they will voraciously make out and make your nether regions feel funny...2022-10-2836 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"When The Cities In The South Are Burning, This Place Will Bloom.": ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVEYou might need a cigarette after this one. Sarah and Heather sensually slide into dialogue about this sultry, not-so-typical Vampire Love story starring none other than the delectable goddess herself: Tilda Swinton.
We discuss the film’s origins, unusual setting, pairing unlikely cities Tangier, Morocco with Detroit, Michigan. Yes, you read that right.
As symbiotic as night and day, we exhume the breadth of this soul-fused couple, and observe with utmost fascination their breathtaking slow dance as the world burns around them.
Peel off your gloves and expose your skin to our intimate discu...2022-10-2125 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Have Another Cherry.": THE WITCHES OF EASTWICKSarah and Heather, unofficial “Bitches of Eastwick” chime in to pay homage to this underrated “Dream Team” ensemble movie.
The cast itself, casts quite a talented spell, as we watch Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Cher team up to seduce, induce, and reproduce with the “horny little devil" himself, Jack Nicholson. The creatively executed morale of this film seems to be, “Be careful what you wish for,” as the dynamics of this power quadruple fantastically implode. Never fear, the ladies put their skill sets and velour jogging sets together and team up for a witchy girl power ending.
2022-10-1423 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“He Would Have An Enormous Schwanzschtücker.”: YOUNG FRANKENSTEINJust in time for spooky season, Sarah and Heather reanimate Mel Brooks self proclaimed finest film, Young Frankenstein.
Did you know the creative concept for this film was from the master Gene Wilder himself?
As this is one of Sarah’s most cherished films, she regales us with behind the scene tidbits and antidotes. Did you know that they used the original set pieces and props from the O.G. Frankenstein? That’s some cinema clout right there! The procurement of physical comedy alone should drive you to watch this comedic classic, and we discuss the wa...2022-10-0624 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"No Dream Is Ever Just A Dream.": EYES WIDE SHUTDon’t you want to go where the Rainbow ends?
Eyes Wide Shut: The polarizing Epic last film of the Maestro of disturbing material himself, Stanley Kubrick. Did you know that it was intended to originally be a Rom Com? Pick your jaw back up off the floor and tune in to hear Heather and Sarah (somewhat) excitedly wax philosophical about the litany of symbolism in this masterpiece and discuss this movie as a vehicle for critical commentary on the institution of marriage itself. Arguably the best line in the movie, spoken by a mysterious Hungarian, of cour...2022-09-3047 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"You Know Why!": WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS“What Happens in Vegas….”should have really stayed in Vegas...
Sarah and Heather recently returned from a fantasy-laden, Sarah curated weekend in Vegas, sponsored by “Sarah’s Vision.” Whose idea was this movie anyway? Oh right, mine. Because Honeymoon in Vegas was only available to purchase online, and that just involves too much commitment.
Heather and Sarah get into the 2008-esque stereotypical tropes of only a movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Camerone Diaz can: The charming, recently fired arrogant male versus the sexy, jilted office hellcat. Albeit they shared a drunken night in Vegas resulting in insta-nupti...2022-09-2226 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"There's A Little Witch In All Of Us.": PRACTICAL MAGICBibbity Bobbity Bitchy Witch.
This week, Sarah and Heather join hands and cast a proper circle, Heather’s from the West, and Sarah’s from the East to discuss Practical Magic.
Complete with an employee “witch consultant”, this movie gets 5 broomsticks way up from the real witch community, regarding the authentic take on witchcraft.
A curse permeates the Owens' Matriarchal line, making true love pairings with male love interests downright tragic. Will they manage to break this spell over a pitcher of margaritas and a midnight PJ dance party? We’ll throw another toad in the caldron for you. Join us in prepara...2022-09-0827 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“I’ll Go Get The Vodka”: MONSTER-IN-LAWThis week in movies Heather never thought she would watch on purpose, Heather and Sarah tackle “Monster-In- Law,” Jane Fonda’s epic return to film after 15 years. JLo headlines this punchy, witty rom-com with her usual "beauty with a heart of gold” trope, but the sharp chemistry between Wanda Sykes and Fonda completely make this movie quite entertaining.
Make sure not to miss a stitch of their refreshing repartee. Grab a martini to wash your anxiety meds down and join us as we plumb the shallow depths of Monster-in-Law!2022-09-0121 minWhen Heather Met Sarah“It Can’t Rain All The Time”: THE CROWSigh. You just gotta love a tragic-romantic death, dripping in cursed lore. And we aren’t just referring to the fictitious movie plot.
Before the atrocity of “Rust,” if you were conscious in the 90’s, you are all too aware of the horrific on set accidental death of Brandon Lee. In this case, they actually did finish the movie, which in turn was a spectacular, critical, commercial success.
Sarah and Heather explore the violent, action packed, spooky Rom Dram that made this epic comic book epistle, The Crow origin come to life, before all the big studios...2022-08-2535 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Doest't Daddy Juggle Well.": VALENTINE'S DAYSarah and Heather are a bit embarrassed to admit we watched this film, but we are going to talk about it anyway. Rom Com a la mode with Splenda sprinkles: You might go into a diabetic coma with this predictable, vanilla, white-washed plot that hits every romantic trope ever invented...but does it with an all-star ensemble cast.
I’d say watch it for the LA city porn alone, as Gary Marshal showcases beauty shots of the City of Angels on Valentine’s Day. Tune in and hear Heather and Sarah argue the merit of such an Eros-riddled, relationship make-or-break commer...2022-08-1844 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"I Don't Remember Frump Girl, But I Remember You.": MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDINGAh, families..... Food, guilt, expectations, double-standards, and enmeshed love.
Sarah and Heather share a huge helping of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Written by the star of the rom-com herself, Nia Vardalos, who was reportedly paid $100 for her hit screenplay, with the agreement that she herself could play the lead. This beloved, endearing comedy lets us into the proud, tight-knit benevolent clique that define Greek families, and explore the balsy hijinks when one “black lamb" dares to date outside her culture.
(You’ll be doing shots of Ouzo in no time!)2022-08-1127 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Have Fun, Stay Single.": SINGLESAh yes, The Grunge years...
This movie, written and directed by Cameron Crowe, is truly a torch love song ode to the early 90’s in Seattle.
Sarah and Heather put on their best flannels and Docs and rehash every bit of coffee-house nostalgia this movie evokes.
A wacky ensemble cast spanning the gamut from Kyra Sedgewick to Bill Pullman, pulls this ode to the romantic despair of your early 20’s, documentary-lite drama romp into focus, with one of the most stellar soundtracks ever compiled. (Thank you Paul Westerberg)

Trudging along with a huge “Brain Cloud” of existential dread as you dutifully clock into work to grind the day away, whittling down your precious hours on the planet, by making money for a corporation who couldn’t care less about you? Just me? Echo. ECHO!
Heather and Sarah contemplate Joe Versus The Volcano, in all of its colorfully symbolic, surprisingly profound, comedically deep, magical still waters.
This truly is not your average ROM/DRAM/COM...2022-07-2934 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Please, Not Quite Yet." "Very Well. Not Quite Yet.”: BRIEF ENCOUNTERAnother Sarah recommendation, in which Heather was at first skeptical and a tinge reluctant turned into a smashing success. Sarah and Heather delve into the seminal thematic origins that this movie really laid the groundwork and inspo for: Eyes Wide Shut and Bridges of Madison County, to name a couple. Told from the POV and refreshing tone of a married woman circa 1940, this move refreshingly and boldly approaches the concept of a looming and insurmountable affair/emotional affair. Two happily married people experience "Love at First Sight,”and their immediate chemistry thus sets off a litany of daisy chain int...2022-07-2126 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"There's Nothing More Inconvenient Than An Old Queen With A Head Cold": VICTOR/VICTORIASarah finally persuades Heather to watch her most favorite, cherished musical-film, Victor/Victoria, and by Goddess, she’s glad she did. This movie can turn the most depressed funk-riddled dour of a pouty frown, upside down.
In a splendid cacophony of whimsy, Julie Andrews delights, charms, and mystifies in this gender bending musical romp. Which end is up? No need to choose. This comically tight, fast paced, clever romance cloaked in drag, will have you muttering things to yourself like, “Dang, Julie Andrews is certainly not a prude..” It’s just your typical boy meets girl playing a boy play...2022-07-1428 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Now I Have A Place To Put My Hand": SIXTEEN CANDLESEvery middle school slumber party we went to had at least one obligatory viewing of this John Hughes tribute to awkward teens and dysfunctional families everywhere.
Can anyone not relate to this movie? Either as the uber nerd, horny jock, popular kid who grows a conscience, sarcastic friend, or blushing awkward emotive teen with confidence issues? We realize Joan Cusack’s geeky, doll sweater wearing character is Heathers spirit animal…forever bumping her headgear on the proverbial, just out of reach water fountain.

When Heather Met Sarah"I Was Just Taking Her Hand To Help Her Out Of A Cab...Magic": SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLEIs a Kiss ever just a Kiss? A sigh ever just a sigh?
Who cares, but come take a trip down romantically, swoony lane with Sarah and Heather as we dissect and decimate Nora Ephron’s sentimental staple, Sleepless in Seattle.
This movie is certainly one “Affair to Remember,” except the two protagonists actually don’t really meet officially until the end of the movie. We will discuss such atrocities like, “Gee, they tried really hard to subdue Bill Pullman’s innate hotness,” and the soundtrack artists have way more diversity than the entire movie itself. But ther...2022-06-2328 minWhen Heather Met SarahWe Are The Sum Of All The Moments Of Our Lives: BEFORE SUNSETOk we are doing it - tackling the Eros-laden - lost love- torch burn second movie in the epic trilogy - Before Sunset.

You know, that person who actually made you believe in all the romanic bullshit- way back when you still had refreshing hope, a thirst for love, youthful optimism, and bot...2022-06-1739 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Tonight We Nail That Little Fart-blossom!": MANNEQUINAll Hail Queen of Vogue Barbie - Kim Cattrall!
Only the 80’s can take the Greek tragedy of Pygmalion, add a peppy soundtrack with The Go-Gos and Starship, and make you want to sprint back to the mall in your shoulder pads and pumps to look for love again. In this ultimate sculpt-meet-cute, only window shopping is needed. Love explodes through the department store window display.
Only in this movie, sexual harassment from your coworkers and boss = just another day at on the job for any female employee.
Perhaps it is fitting, that the el...2022-06-1026 minWhen Heather Met SarahI’m Sorry, I Don’t Downshift That Fast: THE CUTTING EDGEThis movie has something for literally everyone.
We are absolutely not sports fans, but upon re-watching this 1992 film we still find ourselves gyrating to “Slow Ride,” at stadium decibel levels, enthusiastically doing the wave, and cheering, “USA, USA, USA!!”
The chemistry between Ice Queen Moira Kelly and Jock knucklehead D.B. Sweeney leaves you absolutely breathless. The mental foreplay between this competitive “Oil and Water” figure skating pair will have you wondering if you just had a hot-flash.
Uh, TOEPICK.

If you aren’t in the mood for an existential crisis, we highly advise NOT watching this especially when you’re having a hard week clocking in and out, slaving and consuming for the privileged 1%.
Warning: This movie reminds you of your youth. When you had the kind of determined, poetic, clear-eyed optimism paired with radical non-conformity rebel yells, crying MORE MORE MORE. Way back when you still believed you could make a difference, change the world, and Fuc...2022-05-1940 minWhen Heather Met Sarah"Don't Go Mistaking Paradise For A Pair Of Long Legs": SOME KIND OF WONDERFULAh, the white teenaged angst is strong in this one!
In this John Hughes romp, you have social caste systems at play here, the guy and the girl(s) from the wrong side of the track, where all the rich dudes have mullets. You have your classic Breakfast Club detention nod where you find your new scruffy pals. You have the good looking jerk blatantly two timing his unsuspecting, naive GF. You have the gas-pumping protagonist blowing his entire college savings to impress a girl who doesn’t deserve it, and the girl who does offers to ch...2022-05-1241 minWhen Heather Met SarahI Can Handle Nightmares.

As Linklater put it himself, regarding his seminal movie,
“Not much happening, but EVERYTHING is happening”
(I have never felt so seen..)
This movie stirs up every ounce of your former youthful, doe-eyed romantic optimism and passionate post-adolescent drive to travel the world and shakes it all up like a spectacular existential snow globe.
And when the dust sparkles settle, we are never, ever the same.
Except this is only part one of the trilogy. Hold onto your mush...2022-04-2846 minWhen Heather Met SarahRevenge Of The Elk-Snout Mountain Man: OVERBOARDYeegads, 80’s movies get away with a ton of Un PC shit, and this odyssey is not exception!
In this epic tale of Bitches to Rags to Riches, Golden Hawn and Kurt Russel explode in raw Honeymoon phase chemistry, as their own real relationship was just merely a few years old.
Heather and Sarah do a deep dive into a tale wrought with kidnapping, coercion, fraud and sexual exploitation, tied up with a bow into a nuclear hillbilly family. (As a slapstick comedy…of course)

When Heather Met SarahYou Invade My Soul: SAY ANYTHINGSarah and Heather know who the key master is. The perfectly utopian romantic male archetype exists only in cinema: so let’s hear it for Lloyd Dobbler! We get into the behind-the-scenes “easter eggs," found in this essential viewing which epitomizes the angsty road to true 80s/90’s love. In typical Cameron Crowe style (as he wrote and directed this cinematic masterpiece) the music/soundtrack takes center stage. Is there a more iconic character than the boom box that John Cusack holds over his head in hopes to seduce Ione Skye in her slumber? Sarah and Heather have opinions, and we...2022-04-0751 min
