episode 25 - empire records

This week, Elisa and Janea discuss the 1995 cult favorite Empire Records, in addition to topics such as improv comedy, the Met Gala, and classical Spotify playlists. 

In this episode, Elisa and Janea experience technical difficulties while trying to decipher the 80s musical Little Shop of Horrors. Other topics discussed include iconic purple suits, taking charge of finances, and epistolary essays. 

We close the warmer months by trying and failing to rationalize Elisa's favorite movie of all time, Wet Hot American Summer. We also discuss Amy Poehler's teeth, American Crime Story: Impeachment, and potential regrettable tattoo choices. 

Janea and Elisa are back together again this week THANK GOD, and they're discussing the 2019 comedy Wine Country. Other topics include college move-in weekend, Applebee's desserts, and The White Lotus. 

This week, Elisa flies solo as Janea performs in her local theater company's 24 hour musical. Elisa rambles for too long on topics like Jake Gyllenhaal's bathing habits, why only certain Disney characters have accents, and her obsession with Molly Parker. 

Well besties, this week is a bit different. Due to our schedules being waaaaay more hectic than usual we will be delivering two SOLO episodes for the next two weeks. This episode is Janea's solo episode where she had the pleasure of watching Gunpowder Milkshake. As chaotic as this review was, she (me) made some great points besties. (and if you don't agree with me, you can argue with the wall. The ice cream truck returned...but we got through it. Anyways moral of the story: if you're gonna be an assassin, be a sexy one.

In this episode, we discuss Janea's first Studio Ghibli film, My Neighbor Totoro. We also explore bras, Twilight, and establish that we are both definitely not working in soundproof recording studios. 

This week, we took some creative liberties and watched a Tyler Perry stage play from Janea's childhood. We also get into inhospitable people from North Carolina, cheating and forgiveness, and gospel singing. 

This week we discuss Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. We also discuss Elisa's ant problems, Janea's car problems, and our multitude of problems with the plot of Criminal Minds. Also, sorry about Elisa's audio quality, we promise we're getting it fixed ASAP!

In this episode, we watch Wild Oats, another very on brand Janea favorite. We also THANK THE HEAVENS that Janea is safe and sound, discuss the scandalous trash that is Sex/Life, and explore the merits of building one's credit.
