In this episode we'll discuss sub-par guacamole, AIM, our favorite movie sidekick, Katie's love for Greg Kinnear, and the one question this movie left us with: Exactly how *did* Joe Fox get internet on a boat in 1998?

Episode 20: Battle in Seattle

We return to the Tatumverse for Battle in Seattle, a movie that is not an action flick, as we expected, but instead a film based on actual events that happened in the late '90s that neither of us had ever heard of. Things take a serious turn in this episode as we do our best to have an intelligent and informed conversation about protests, police brutality, censored journalism, patriotism, and how 9/11 shaped millennials. Also: Katie does laundry, finds a knife in her couch (??), and her sister Hannah cameos!

Episode 16: Pride & Prejudice (BBC Miniseries) w/ Chelsea

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a movie podcast in possession of a good audience must be in want of a Pride & Prejudice episode. So we made one for you! This week special guest Chelsea convinces Wesleigh to watch the the definitive 5-hour BBC miniseries version of P&P. We discuss teenage marriages, which character reminds us of a golden retriever puppy, and, of course, that scene with Colin Firth that made everyone fall in love with him.

Meet this week's guest, Chelsea!

Chelsea has a PhD in fashion and loves movies, especially this version of P&P. You can learn more about her on Instagram at @docdress and or at her website, docdress.com!
