VHS Sisters

WE ARE DOING IT, LISTENERS! WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING IT! Last episode, we fully went off the rails and talked about everyone's favorite vampire romcom Twilight, and five minutes after doing that pod, we decided we had to go ALL IN and immediately started New Moon! So now it's TWILIGHT MONTH!! We both feel completely insane, and I think you can really hear it in this episode. Our feelings were mixed, yet we still managed to yap almost 90 minutes about this film and also talk about Saysha's desire for a houseboy, speculate on all the various shippings within the Twilight universe, wax poetic about Taylor Lautner's muscular maturity, and puzzle over the confusing shifter lore Stephenie Meyer has woven for us. We swear SO MUCH in this one!!! Enjoy!!!Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

Listeners, we said we weren't going to apologize anymore on this podcast but I just wanna say that we felt compelled to talk about the 2008 emo classic Twilight to kick off November, and during the course of this podcast we underwent an emotional rollercoaster so profound that we went from stone-cold Twilight haters to Twihards in less than 90 minutes. Please come with us on a blue-filtered journey of healing and discovery as we discuss emo music, vampire baseball, twinks(again!), Mormonism, car culture, Seattle weather, and (TRIGGER WARNING) 2000s-era ED culture. Hold on tight, Spider Monkies; it's a wild one!!!Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEN Listeners! Our last episode of Spooky Month is yet another Stephen King sleeper classic that Saysha was fully obsessed with as a kid-Silver Bullet! We are in full spooky yap mode in this one and pop off about wheelchair-motorcycle physics, small-town nostalgia, inflation's effect on the price of pantyhose, original sin, tween romance (AGAIN!!!), drunk dads AND uncles, private justice, and how to yassify a werewolf. For the love of Gary Busey, please give this one a listen! Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

THIS IS THE ONE, LISTENERS!!! This is the episode that finally caused Melanie to have a mental breakdown! This was not Saysha's original intent, but it certainly was the result! Tune in for a truly unhinged episode where we deep-dive into this Joe Dante critter classic and listen to us go through the emotional wringer because a puppet is sad in a movie! This one is littered with tons of Fun Facts™ by Saysha, so if you are a fan of a Grem, a Mogwai, or 24-hour froyo, you are gonna LOVE this one!!!Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

Okay nowwwwwww we are really getting spooky, Loyal Listeners!

OUR HATERS SAID WE'D NEVER COME THIS FAR!!! Listeners, back in the year 2025, for our second-ever episode, we reviewed the 90s whimsigoth cult classic Practical Magic, and Melanie hated every single second of it! Today we have a VERY special treat for you for our 50th episode: our first EVER current movie that does not come from the VHS era- Practical Magic 2! Come listen as we regale you all with the tale of our very recent harrowing adventures to witness this modern-day atrocity and share all our scorching-hot takes and opinions. Mix up an ice-free midnight margarita, pour warm custard over some pie, and enjoy!!! The world is ending!!! Art is dead!!! Nothing matters!!!Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

WE ARE DOING IT, LISTENERS!!! Today we finally tackle the MOTHER of all fancy TV mini-series: the BBC version of P&P from 1995! Today, we get on the mic to dive into one of the greatest debates in entertainment history: which version reigns supreme? 2005 or 1995??? We also briefly touch on the more forgotten adaptations of P&P, the book itself,  all things Regency, fashion (of course),  class consciousness (again!), the lost art of conversation and flirting, sisterhood, cinematography, and the intricacies of what a yearly salary to a member of the British gentry class would be. Do you want to hear what Melanie thinks of Colin Firth as Mr Darcy? Do you want to hear if our mother has watched 50 Shades of Grey? Do we think that Harlequin Great Dane is still alive? Tune in to find out! Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

Buckle up for this one folks, it's another FANCY one!!!Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

YESSSSSSSSSS Fancy Month is in full swing, and today Saysha decided to show her little sister another movie about shitty aristocrats in the 1700s with loose morals, and THIS one has a TON of SA in it!!!! Tune in if you want to hear Saysha yap in full hyperfixation mode about historical fashion and religious and political machinations in pre-Revolutionary France. We also get into the sex appeal of John Malkovich, Peter Steele (again), Les Misérables, Dr Who, Madonna, Glenn's Close's Oscar snub, and how Botox is fully ruining costume dramas. Who else watched this at eleven??? Just Saysha? Okay!Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast

Greetings Sisterlovers!!! Welcome to September, aka Saysha's Birthday Month, aka FANCY MONTH, and WOW we are starting with a very fancy and somewhat obscure choice to kick us off- Orlando from 1992! This one is a childhood favorite of Saysha's, and since it's her birthday month, we are going to do whatever she wants (not that we don't already)! This one really got our creative juices flowing and we have a nice, cozy chat about gender roles, queer icons, motherhood, sewing projects, HISTORY, disgusting men, beautiful women, weirdly Dune AGAIN, and FASHION!!!! Saysha almost cries in this one! Tune in RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!!Please leave all thoughts, feelings and grievances at [email protected]: @vhssisterspodcast
