Tara and Ashley review the scores for Always Be My Maybe, Trainwreck, and Set It Up to decide which movies will continue in the bracket.
She’s the Man is a comedic masterpiece. Map of Tiny Perfect Things made us introspective. Which one will come out on top?
16 Candles is an absolutely insane product of its time. 27 Dresses hits hard in every category. This week, Tara’s childhood friend, Claire joins the pod to discuss these two classics.
PSA: Ashley T-Pained herself this week and accidentally left autotune on. We will have to "Buy U A Drank" for listening to this episode.
Should Ryan Reynold's character in Definitely Maybe be locked up? And should all NBA players also be actors? Find out this week on The Trope Report.
Tara, Ashley, and special guest Gaby are shocked by the theme of pedophilia in Never Been Kissed. Gaby explains why Friends with Benefits speaks to her.
Boobies in this...
The girls try to figure out if CGI hair plugs were used on Billy Crystal and why the producers of Just Go With It felt by putting glasses on Jennifer Aniston, she was then ugly.
This episode was sponsored by Blanche's tapioca pudding. A new movement is formed...Bring Back Balls (B.B.B.).
Bonus: Third Quarter
Wait 30 minutes after you eat before swimming...same goes for reviewing movies. Tara and Ashley have to correct some of their previous rankings when they might have been a little too heavy handed. Tune in to wrap up the third quarter of the bracket!
Brian is back. Cargo shorts are back. This week the italians defend Little Italy as the most accurate italian-canadian movie out there. Ashley backs To All the Boys. Peter Kavinsky stans rise up.
One of the worst matchups yet...listen if you dare.
