This week we watch a movie that begs the question “Would Christina Ricci be completely unlovable if her face were only slightly less attractive than her normal face?” We also wonder why James McAvoy is famous (not-derogatory), and if “Do you know who I am?” Reese Witherspoon is the best Reese Witherspoon. Join us as we answer all these questions and even discuss “Penelope.” Rate, review, and subscribe and join our patreon for exclusive bonus content.

A Diane Keaton, Stephen Collins romcom with musical numbers where Diane Keaton is very much outsung… no not First Wives Club, the lesser known, lesser good Because I Said So.

A cast of problematic male characters, a non-problematic football player (but actually problematic IRL), and a leading lady whose personality is that she has boobs but doesn’t wear a bra.
