Killing Your Darlings

On July 16th, 2021, Warner Bros. released the LONG anticipated sequel to their 1996 masterpiece, Space Jam. And for just a moment, the world stood still. Just kidding, it was released in theaters and on HBOMax and people seemed to be pretty "meh" about it. Your beloved hosts were part of this "meh" group. So they figured they would go back and watch the original and see what all of the fuss had been about back in the 90s and what could possibly prompt a sequel over 20 years later.

Michael Jordan (played by himself) is at the peak of his fame and success as a basketball player and decides that he is going to retire and become a baseball player. Makes sense! Meanwhile, up in space, evil amusement park owner Swackhammer (voiced by Danny DeVito) kidnaps the Looney Tunes to use them as the new attraction at his theme park. The Looney Tunes challenge their kidnappers to a game of basketball and recruit none other than Michael Jordan to help them win. But the kidnappers have also stolen the talents of some of the best basketball players of the 90s to help THEM win!

Darlings, we don't have to tell you that we love a franchise. And like all good franchises, this month we are bringing back a beloved character: your missing in action co-host DAN! Along with your stalwart co-host, Chrysten, and our favorite guest host, Kate, we are watching and discussing the modern continuation of the Karate Kid saga...Cobra Kai!

30 years after his brutal defeat at the All-Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament, a down and out Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) is haunted by his failure and the success of his rival, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). When he sees his teenage neighbor, Miguel (Xolo Mariduena) being bullied by some other kids, he intervenes and it sparks an idea...re-open the Cobra Kai dojo and teach kids how to kick some ass! But when Daniel finds out Johnny is back, he sets out to stop him, reigniting their decades old feud!

Kate recommended this to Chrysten and Dan as perfect pandemic viewing, and, boy, did it deliver! Join us as we take this final trip down Karate Kid lane and talk about the badassery that is Cobra Kai! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

Well, darlings, this one has been a long time comin'! Our beloved substitute co-host, Kate Holland, has been asking Chrysten to be a guest for this movie since this podcast was in short pants! And now, after all these years, the time has come! Get ready, darlings, for...The Last Unicorn!

When a beautiful, young unicorn (Mia Farrow) learns that the rest of her kind have been driven into the ocean by a frightening Red Bull belonging to a cruel king in a faraway land, she leaves the safety of her forest to try and find them. Helped along the way by a bumbling magician named Schmendrick (Alan Arkin) and a gruff matron named Molly Grue (Tammy Grimes), the trio make their way to the castle of King Haggard (Christopher Lee). But when they encounter the Red Bull on the road, Schmendrick transforms the unicorn into a human woman to hide her from the bull. But as she spends more time in her womanly form, the unicorn starts to lose sight of her quest and her true self!

This movie was a fave of both Kate and Chrysten as youngsters...but will they, like the unicorn, lose sight of their true feelings? Join us and find out! And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
