Welcome to The Chick-Lit (And Movies) Podcast — where we revisit the films that raised us, ruined our expectations, and occasionally made us question reality. From nostalgic favorites to cinematic disasters, we break down the good, the bad, and the downright awful with humor, hot takes, and unapologetic honesty.Copyright Karyn & Aubree

    Welcome to The Chick-Lit (And Movies) Podcast 🎙️🍿, where we bravely lower our expectations for cinema so you don’t have to. 🙃✨

    This week, the Chicks 🐥 are diving headfirst into The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) — the wildly self-aware action comedy where Nicolas Cage plays Nicolas Cage, argues with Nicolas Cage, accepts $1 million to attend a stranger’s birthday party, and somehow ends up in the most emotionally intense bromance of modern cinema. 🎬💥
    Join us as we unpack Nick Cage’s mid-life crisis energy, Javi Gutierrez’s aggressively adorable golden-retriever devotion, the CIA’s deeply questionable recruitment strategy, and the cinematic masterpiece that is two grown men taking LSD and immediately forgetting how fences work. Along the way, we discuss fame, ego, family, fandom, friendship, Paddington 2, and why Pedro Pascal must be protected at all costs. 💜🐻

    Plus, Aubs argues that ketchup is absolutely a breakfast condiment 🍳, Karyn has thoughts about men putting the toilet seat back down 🚽, and we rate the movie using our brand-new “Paddington 2” Ratings System — including the Nicolas Cage-ception Scale, the Bromance Intensity Index, the CIA Competency Meter, and the Pedro Pascal Protection Squad.
    So grab your golden guns, your emotional support Javi, and maybe skip the LSD, because this movie is somehow a celebrity satire, a spy thriller, a buddy comedy, a family drama, and a love letter to movies all at once.


    🎧 Listener Question: What’s your favorite Nicolas Cage movie? Bonus points if it’s a deep cut. And if someone offered you $1 million to attend a stranger’s birthday party in Spain… what’s the catch that would make you say no?

    10). “I Crashed My Van Into Jesus!” - “Saved!” (2004)
    Jun 29 2026
    Welcome to The Chick-Lit (And Movies) Podcast 🎙️🍿, where we proudly lower our expectations for cinema so you don’t have to. 🙃✨

    This week, the Chicks 🐥 survive Saved! (2004) ✝️📖 — the gloriously chaotic cult classic that asks, “What if Mean Girls took place at a Christian high school… and everyone had issues?” 💀

    Join us as we unpack Mary’s spectacularly misguided attempt to “pray away the gay” 🙃, Hilary Faye’s Olympic-level commitment to weaponized concern 📖, and the absolute icons that are Roland and Cassandra, who somehow end up being the only people making any sense. Along the way, we discuss purity culture, youth group flashbacks, religious hypocrisy, found family, and why this movie still feels alarmingly familiar to so many people.

    Plus, Aubs goes on a completely unnecessary rant about Bob Dylan’s voice 🎤🤠, Karyn declares war on bubblegum 🍬, we rate the movie using our brand-new “Mah Poosayy is a Hah Poosawww” Ratings System 😂, and we ask the important questions: Why is Mandy Moore in a band in every early-2000s movie? How is that microphone picking up Hilary Faye from thirty feet away? And did Jesus really have to get hit by a van? 🚐✝️

    So grab your Bible (please don’t throw it), your youth group trauma, and your favorite pair of khakis as we revisit one of the funniest, most heartfelt, and surprisingly honest religious satires ever made.

    🎧 Listener Question: Do you think Saved! is making fun of Christianity itself… or the hypocrisy that can happen within religious communities? And be honest—did you know a real-life Hilary Faye?

    We love you, and remember: If someone says they’re filled with Christ’s love… DUCK. 📖💥

    Welcome to The Chick-Lit (And Movies) Podcast 🎙️🍿, where we proudly lower our expectations for cinema so you don’t have to 🙃✨ Each month, we cover two films: one critically beloved 🏆 and one absolute disaster 🔥🗑️

    This week, the Chicks 🐥 hit the campaign trail with My Fellow Americans (1996) 🇺🇸🚁 — the political buddy comedy that asks, “What if the only people who could save democracy were two former Presidents with unresolved issues and the energy of a divorced couple on a road trip?” 🚗💨

    Join us as we unpack government conspiracies 🕵️‍♂️📁, exploding helicopters 💥🚁, accidental Pride parade attendance 🌈🎺, and enough quotes to fill your decaf cup of coffee ☕️ 🇺🇸. Jack Lemmon and James Garner somehow transform mutual hatred into one of cinema’s greatest grumpy-old-man friendships while federal agents everywhere have the worst work week of their collective lives 😩🕶️

    Also featuring surprise Wilford Brimley 👨🏻‍🦳, Dan Aykroyd as President instead of busting ghosts 👻, and perhaps the most unhinged funeral speech ever committed to film:

    🎵 Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam, do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land… 🎵

    So grab a cup of coffee ☕ (just don’t make it decaf, you pussy), put on your finest cardigan 🧥, and join us as we break down My Fellow Americans 🎬🇺🇸
