  • Beast
    Feb 24 2026

    The gals were guffawing, gripped, and gagged while watching the disturbing romantic psychological thriller, Beast (2017) directed by Michael Pearce. They touch on the beauty and danger of small town isolation, their admiration for a kiss, the dark side of desire, the power of aging, feeling viscerally connected to Jessie Buckley, and are currently still torn over Johnny Flynn.

  • Pam Bondi with a touch of Perfume
    Feb 19 2026

    The gals were incensed and disgusted while watching the Pam Bondi hearing and then Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) directed by Tom Tykwer. They touch on public executions, gifts, Paris fashion, their obsession with period pieces, the power of scent, and how they would kill the theatrics of the oversight committee.

  • Lady Chatterley's Lover
    Feb 11 2026

    The gals were quite frankly moaning while watching Lady Chatterley's Lover recently re-adapted to screen in 2022 based on the legendary, way ahead of it's time novel by D.H. Lawrence (originally published in Italy, 1928) that was banned for decades and faced an obscenity trial in 1960 for pushing the boundaries of literary and societal taboos. They touch on the use of prosthetics, young love, tenderness, the treasure that is Jack O'Connell, suspenders, stockings, bloomers, and the delicate dynamics of class.
