2023-05-0147 min3 Cissies & A GirlHarlem Nights (1987)What’s better than a mobster classic told by three generations of great comedians? Trying to follow this piecemeal ADD train of random quotes as we chug our way over to New York (aka Los Angeles) for Eddie Murphy’s action-comedy cult classic, “Harlem Nights” (1989), of course. In this critically panned, fan-adored, Gen X fever dream, Richard Pryor plays club owner and “numbers” boss “Sugar Ray” (yes, seriously) who is contending with the scheming likes of disgruntled gangster “Bugsy Calhoune” (no, we’re not kidding) played by the late, great Michael Lerner. Bugsy is not-so-silently fuming over the classic black vs white slight...
2023-04-161h 293 Cissies & A GirlBlazing Saddles (1974)It's time to saddle up and schlep out west. Although, with some of the modern choices in this noodle kugel-western you could probably strap on your seat belts. This week we're rolling our 3CG wagon train out to the wild west with Mel Brooks' 1974 classic, "Blazing Saddles". This movie has a lot to say about racism, sexism, and fill-in-the-blank-ism, in a way that is sure to make you laugh, cringe, maybe even re-evaluate some of your own biases, and then cringe again.
This raunchy comedy follows Bart (Cleavon Little), a black railroad worker who becomes the unlikely she...
2023-03-262h 093 Cissies & A GirlRebel Without A Cause (1955)TW: There are heavy and pointed discussions of suicide and ideation. For those of you struggling with those thoughts, we suggest skipping this, or parts of this episode. If you or someone you know needs help, please dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline to speak with someone. Help is available. You’re never alone. There’s no need to walk in the dark.

Buckle up, 3CG fans, because this week we're diving back into the apex of teen drama and angst with the OG 1955 flick, "Rebel Without a Cause". Another golden H...
2023-03-121h 393 Cissies & A GirlAdventures in Babysitting (1987)Well, 3CG-ers, this is episode is one for the record books. Sticking around in the 80s which means you probably already guessed this is another of Garrett's picks. We were in a time crunch recording this one so we kept the ADD train on the tracks for what is probably our speediest episode to date.
In his directorial debut, Chris Columbus is at the helm of this Elizabeth Shue lead comedy. Elizabeth plays Chris who has to venture into the big city to save her friend Brenda (Penelope Ann Miller) with her two charges, Brad and Sara, (K...

2023-02-192h 113 Cissies & A GirlAndromeda Strain (1969)Gather 'round, 3CG fans, for a journey back in time! This week, the gang tackles the sci-fi classic, "The Andromeda Strain", and boy, is it a doozy! From its ethical quandaries to its thought-provoking themes, this film has something for everyone. So sit back, grab a snack, and get ready to delve into the world of science, fiction, and all the juicy details in between!
The film, based on a novel by Michael Crichton, follows a team of scientists as they race to contain a deadly virus from outer space before it wipes out all life on...
2023-02-071h 593 Cissies & A GirlEl Dorado (1966)Giddy up, 3CG fans! This week, the gang is taking on a classic western with the 1966 John Wayne film, "El Dorado". From shootouts to horseback rides, this movie has all the elements of a classic cowboy flick. So grab your cowboy hat and get ready for a rootin'-tootin' good time!
In this dusty old western, John Wayne stars as a gunslinger who teams up with his old friend (Robert Mitchum) to help a man reclaim his stolen land. If you're a fan of tired plots and even more tired acting, then this one's for you! Get ready...
2023-02-071h 433 Cissies & A GirlWhite Christmas (1954)So technically nobody picked this episode, although Hannah compiled this list so we are going to give her credit, or is that blame? I guess it depends on which 3CG-er you side with. Even though much to Garrett’s dismay, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation didn’t make the cut this month, we manage to lampoon this “National Treasure” or at least some of us do.
Add another Michael Curtiz flick to the pod, the first being Casablanca, with this 1954 musical starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. Did we say musical? Sorry Matt! At least this...
2022-12-251h 413 Cissies & A GirlCitizen Kane (1941)Well, 3CG-ers, that foray into watching films in color was short-lived. We’re going back to black (and white) with a 1941 classic, and we’ll give you one guess as to who picked this one. Our old-soul-black-and-white-morality-raised-on-the-classics millennial, Hannah, picked our second movie for November and what is arguably one of the greatest films ever made, “Citizen Kane”.
Orson Welles wrote, directed, and starred in this classic 2-hour epic that much like “Halloween”, breathed a gasp of fresh air into modern-day cinema. Funnily enough, it took us about 2-hours to discuss this masterpiece, but don't worry, unlike certain past ep...
2022-11-271h 483 Cissies & A GirlHalloween (1978)Yes, we know, technically spooky season is over (except in our hearts, where it’s all year long), but this is Matt's first pick to make it into the show, so we cut him some slack.
Clearly falling for the master director John Carpenter’s style in "They Live," Matt takes us back to 1978 and to arguably the birth of the modern-day slasher film with his SpOoOkY revenge pick, "Halloween".
In a 3CG-first, none of the krewe had even seen this cult classic before. However, the premise and genre sparked a fascinating internal "will he or won...
2022-11-201h 103 Cissies & A GirlThey LiveWhile we would like this episode to be like Meg Foster’s piercing blue eyes and cut straight to the point, it’s more like that 6-minute fight scene between ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper and America’s favorite President, Keith David. We may only discuss the actual movie “They Live” (1988) for about 6 minutes of this 90+ minute podcast, but like the film, the tangents we stray off onto are a teaser for what’s to come.
Much like we masquerade as an actual movie podcast, “They Live” is a biting, satirical look at capitalism and greed masquerading as a B-Movie horror flick...
2022-10-301h 373 Cissies & A GirlFreaks (1932)What happens when Garret doesn’t watch the time and the ADD train leaves the track and any semblance of structure behind? You get a tangentially related take on the 1932 Horror classic, Freaks, that’s longer than the movie itself.
Since MGM freaked out, pun intended, over Browning’s original 90-minute cut, the final available film is a short but not-so-sweet, must-watch that clocks in at just over an hour. However, the lasting reverberations created by the intended social commentaries can be felt even today in the subsequent generations of cult classics, for better or worse.
2022-10-161h 453 Cissies & A GirlRocky Horror Picture ShowWell, we’re hopping back in time, or rather warping, with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Another cult classic delight from the same glorious mind that brought you, Priscilla, Terry J. Nelson.
The krewe discusses the myriad pitfalls of gender and sexuality, Matthew tries to keep up his good Catholic boy facade, Terry fusses over Jasper, Hannah enlightens the krewe about the origins of the Rainbow Flag, and Garrett just tries to keep the show moving.
There may be some problems with the delivery, but there’s a little something for everyone to...
2022-09-251h 333 Cissies & A GirlCasablancaYet another Golden Age Hollywood classic but this time from the romantic mind of Terry J. Nelson. Tune in as the boys bemoan the woes of love and being the better person while Hannah tries to bring the movie into a modern context with discussion points and woke buzzwords galore.
The krewe broaches the messy topic of toxic masculinity and the ADD train is in full force going a little off the rails but doing their best to make sure they hit all the stations. Terry breaks out his best Humphrey Bogart impression, Matt throws in hi...
2022-09-251h 193 Cissies & A GirlGentlemen Prefer BlondesThis week’s pick is another Golden Age Hollywood classic from our own golden-haired, Hollywood girl herself. Tune in as Hannah tests the theory of if Gentlemen [really do] Prefer Blondes or if it’s all just ticklish business any way you look at it.
While the boys may have been enamored with the bombshell duo of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, Hannah definitely had some tricks up her sleeve with some of those musical numbers. Will the boys finally learn to do pre-show research? So far only our resident historian, Garrett, has taken up that mantle as he de...
2022-08-281h 303 Cissies & A GirlThem!Join us this week as we discuss the 1954 Horror/Sci-Fi classic Them! If you are following along at home make sure you include 1954 and the ! in Them! lest you end up researching Van Morrison or the Amazon series. No, this good old slice of Americana stars James Whitmore (The Shawshank Redemption), James Arness, (Gunsmoke), and Joan Weldon.
Another one of Hannah's picks, which we swear are totally random, this episode starts out talking about Louis CK and fellatio and it's pretty much all downhill from there. Garrett, Hannah, and Terry drank so much C4 during the course...
2022-08-141h 473 Cissies & A GirlAlice Doesn’t Live Here AnymoreJoin us for another episode where we discuss the 1974 Martin Scorsese film "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" starring Kris Kristofferson and Ellen Burstyn. If this episode seems a little heavy on Hannah and Garrett's side it's probably because Terry forgot how to use a microphone and Matthew forgot he had one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Enjoy this episode and stay tuned next month for two brand new movies that are revealed at the end of this episode. Spoiler alert: We are pretty sure Hannah rigged this one as our movies for next month go back... like way back... Who knew a Mille...
2022-07-251h 213 Cissies & A GirlThe Thin ManWe are back, baby! We are bringing you an all-new Season of Three Cissies and A Girl where we ruin your favorite classic movies. Youngblood is stepping in for Rob since his schedule training America’s future MMA badasses makes it difficult for him to join us and Terry is still... Terry.
Join us this week for the pre-code 1934 classic The Thin Man where we discuss getting into Myrna Loy’s drawers. Besides Myrna Loy, the W. S. Van Dyke directed mystery also stars William Powell and the scene-stealing wire-haired fox terrier Skippy as Asta. Based on the 1...
2022-07-091h 133 Cissies & A GirlKinky BootsRob has a saying, "Ain't no kink-shaming here at 3CG" which leads us to Hannah's pick for Pride Month, Kinky Boots. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Joel Edgerton this 2005 comedy about a UK shoemaker that gets into the business of making boots for Drag Queens can't be too problematic right? We didn't censor Terry on this one and Garrett and his shoe fetish find his voice.
It's possible our next episode might be a little late due to some scheduling issues with the cast but stay tuned after this one as we finish off Pride Month with our n...
2021-06-131h 033 Cissies & A GirlThe Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the DesertRemember the episode featuring Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy where Rob didn't let anyone get a word in? Well, Terry pays him back tenfold today as our first podcast in celebration of Pride Month we look at Terry's favorite movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert starring Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp.
It's "Bizzaro World" as even Hannah even speaks more than Garrett in this episode. You'll definitely want to hear the self-indulgent recasting in this one.
Be sure to follow us on our socials, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and send...
2021-06-071h 373 Cissies & A GirlLord Love A DuckWell, it's Hannah "Green Tinted Sixties Mind" Kaufman's movie pick this week so we are heading back to 1966 and the George Axelrod film, Lord Love a Duck, starring Roddy McDowall and Tuesday Weld alongside Ruth Gordon and Harvey Korman.
Have you watched the film? If so you will probably understand why we go completely off the rails this week. It's so bad that not even Garrett can get the train back on the tracks. Terry is so distraught about the film that he has five pages of notes and Robin is the only cast member that isn't c...
2021-05-311h 353 Cissies & A GirlWithout A PaddleIn this episode, the 3CG gang discusses the 2004 film Without A Paddle starring Matthew Lillard, Seth Green, and Dax Shepard with a very special appearance by Rob's all-time favorite man-crush Burt Reynolds.
Terry only has to be censored once during this episode but it's a long censor, Garrett drops his connections to Ethan Suplee, and Abraham Benrubi, because of course, he does, and Hannah threatens actual violence against a member of the 3CG team.
Be sure to follow us on our socials, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and send all questions, comments, and vitriol to: 3cissiesandagirl@g...
2021-05-241h 383 Cissies & A GirlOne Crazy SummerAre we back to John Cusack already? We went from "Say Anything" to the 1986 "Savage" Steve Holland film "One Crazy Summer". There's some debate over just how hot Demi Moore is, and spoiler alert, only one of the four of us are in the "not" category.
Hannah suggests a way to censor some of Terry's more problematic slips with some creative sound effects. It was either that or another "trigger warning" and that would have probably made Rob's head explode.
Garrett is the only one with a lengthy echo chamber this week. You can be th...
2021-05-171h 293 Cissies & A GirlSay AnythingWhat happens when we talk about the 1989 Cameron Crowe classic Say Anything and 1/2 of the group doesn't understand the plot? (Looking at you, Hannah and Terry) You get a more scattershot ADD episode than usual, and for this bunch that is really saying something, but clocking in at almost 2 hours should tell you something.
Rob is a little short on quotes this week but the gang still manages to string together a few memorable moments from John Cusack, Ione Skye, John Mahoney, and Lili Taylor who turns in a memorable performance as Corey.
Garrett finally gi...
2021-05-091h 503 Cissies & A GirlAnchorman: The Legend of Ron BurgundyRob has been actively trying to make Hannah's head explode with his movie picks and hasn't been able to do it just yet. Will one of his all-time favorite movies, the 2004 insta-classic, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy do the trick? Or will it be Terry that is offended by some "low hanging fruit"? Garrett postpones his Matthew McConaughey meet cute this week to instead tell his meet cute with Adam McKay and how the term "Adam McKayed" entered his acting lexicon.
One thing is for sure when a movie has Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, an...
2021-05-031h 113 Cissies & A GirlThe Pink PantherWe continue our month of fools with Hannah's pick for April, the 1963 classic, The Pink Panther starring David Niven,Peter Sellers, Robert Wagner, and Capucine.
There have to be all kinds of problems with this 1963 film right? I mean that is why Hannah picked this one right? Other than maybe trying to bestow a little culture on Garrett, Terry, and Rob, why else would she? Spoiler alert: They are still not cultured, and may have even hated on the film just a little but could all agree that they have a soft spot for Claudia Cardinale and...
2021-04-251h 343 Cissies & A GirlSpies Like UsThis week the tcaag gang take a leap back to the middle of The Cold War and the 1985 John Landis directed Spies Like Us starring Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd.
The gang discusses the important things about the movie like what it's like to write a scene where your best friend makes out with your real-life wife or how meta Ronald Reagan's appearance is in the film.
We even work in a Disney Channel reference that doesn't involve Yoda but we mention the little green guy too. Who would everyone recast if they were in ch...
2021-04-191h 223 Cissies & A GirlNaked GunA lot of people call the tcaag gang fools but this is no joke. For April we are kicking off our month of fools in a celebration of farcical comedies with Terry's pick, the king of all inept police comedies, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Written by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Pat Proft and directed by David Zucker, the movie stars Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban, and George Kennedy. Don't worry Garrett makes mention of "he who should not be named" as one of the film's other stars and so...
2021-04-121h 143 Cissies & A GirlThe PianoIn a departure from their usual lighthearted fare, the boys and Hannah tackle our final movie for Women's History Month, the 1993 film The Piano. The film stars Holly Hunter,Harvey Keitel,Sam Neill, and in her Oscar-winning debut Anna Paquin.
This a heavy film with some serious subject matter so we have included a warning at the beginning of the episode in case anyone wants to skip this one and head on to our less serious films.
Sidebar Nation: We now all have veto power over Terry's film choices.
2021-04-081h 423 Cissies & A GirlGhostbustersIt's no secret that as GenXers the original Ghostbusters hold a special place in the hearts of the boys so they were more than a little salty when Hannah's pick for International Women's History Month was the 2016 reboot starring Melissa McCarthy,Kristen Wiig,Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones.
Will the boys end up slimed over their opinion or did they come around to enjoy the reboot? Tune in to find out.
2021-03-291h 123 Cissies & A GirlOcean's 8We continue our salute to International Women's Month with our take on the 2018 film Ocean's 8. Starring these 8 super talented ladies, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Rihanna, Awkwafina & Sarah Paulson.
Find out Garrett's connection to the film, if Terry actually watched the movie this week, Robin's "Woman of the Week" and Hannah drops some science knowledge in our "Echo Chamber"
2021-03-221h 353 Cissies & A GirlWonder WomanHannah and the boys kick off International Women's History Month with Rob's pick for a film with a strong female lead and written and or directed by a female with the 2017 comic book film Wonder Woman. Directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Everyone's crush on Gal is solidified and how in the good hell do the boys find another way to mix Matthew McConaughey into the conversation... AGAIN.
Rob drinks and turns this into a VERY extended episode of TCAAG.
2021-03-171h 463 Cissies & A GirlThe Princess BrideHannah and The Boys discuss the 1987 Rob Reiner classic The Princess Bride starring Cary Elwes Mandy Patinkin, and Robin Wright.
Has Terry watched recently? It was hard to tell but give it a listen to find out which one of us thinks that Westley and Buttercup are a snooze fest.
2021-03-081h 183 Cissies & A GirlCan't Buy Me LoveHannah and the boys discuss the 1987 romantic comedy Can't Buy Me Love starring Patrick Dempsey, and the late Amanda Peterson. Somehow the boys once again work Matthew McConaughey into the conversation and Terry still can't seem to get a "woke" term right.
2021-02-281h 183 Cissies & A GirlFailure To LaunchHannah and the guys discuss the 2006 Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker film Failure to Launch. When Hannah schools the boys on an outdated term the GenXr's retreat to their safe space.
2021-02-221h 153 Cissies & A GirlRomancing The StoneThe guys and Hannah discuss the 1984 Romantic Comedy Romancing The Stone starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas and Garrett let's loose on Seth McFarlane in the very first episode of 3 Cissies and a Girl.
2021-02-161h 01
