Is it April? Is it May? Is this the real life? Is it just fantasy? Welcome to another SIS FLICKS HIT CLIP, where we gleefully discuss the magic of Mary & George, the spiciest new period drama to grace our screens in 2024.

HAPPY SPRINGERTON! What a time to be ALIVE, recapping Bridgerton with you all as we eagerly await Season 3! Get your tissues ready, because there will be plenty of Polin in the air! As usual, we struggle with brevity, so indulge us as we give you a little background info on Bridgerton, S1, compare it against the book, and make inappropriate jokes about the Regency era in between. Stick with us as we continue to recap the rest of Bridgerton, seasons 1 and 2! Recorded, edited & produced...

Welcome back to the next installment of the Sis Flicks Podcast as we close out Women's History Month with this Greta Gerwig staple - Little Women, released in 2019, as a fresh 21st century take on Louisa May Alcott's classic coming-of-age novel. We bounce around between different topics, characters, and trains of thought as we try out a slightly new discussion format (LOOSE). Hopefully you can understand (between the mountains of tangents) why we loved this movie and how it still resonates...

Join us, again, as we wrap up (do we ever REALLY wrap up?) our final thoughts on the cinematic excellence that is Past Lives - and don't forget the "S" word - symbolism, symbolism, symbolism!

One Day. Two People. Two Parts. Thank you for joining us again for the conclusion to our wonderfully long discussion on One Day, both movie and book, why we loved it so much and why we'll be keeping all forms of this book so close to our hearts.

Friends! Welcome to our first movie "recap" (we all know what this is) episode of 2024! We discuss Brown Sugar (2002), the nostalgia of 90's and 2000's hip-hop, and the beauty of Taye Diggs for... a very long time. But it's a one-parter, aren't you proud?! Join us as we cover Brown Sugar with the mainstream flowers it deserves and rarely gets, and as we make fun of the sheer number of hip-hop metaphors that tie this entire movie together. Come for the perfect verse over a tight beat, stay...

Happy Holidays, pals! Thank you so much for tuning in to our last movie discussion of 2023. Listeners have spoken, and y'all spoke LOUDLY in favor of The Holiday (and for good reason)! This movie is everything you want a rom com to be - wholesome, funny, witty and full of heart. It could maybe use a little Adobo - but what's some good-natured critique between friends? Come swap your house for ours as we delve into this evergreen wintery romcom. Alternate Episode Title: The Holiday In Horny...

"Enjoy the show!" For real this time - just like the events of the 10th annual Hunger Games, our technology would really not cooperate with us when it came to sharing this episode!

Are you 2013 Hunger Games fan girlies even READY for the sheer nostalgia unleashed by another Francis Lawrence-directed dystopian epic?!

Happy Thanksgiving to all friends, new and old! As a demonstration of our gratitude for YOU, we're releasing Part 1 of our discussion of "When Harry Met Sally" just in time to play in the background, forgotten, as you frantically try to time out your Thanksgiving side dishes by the amount of time they'll need in the oven. This is one of our most favorite movies, probably ever, and we cannot wait to share some of our silliest thoughts with you. Can men and women really BE friends? How strong...
