Nameless Best Friends

In honor of WICKED being released today, we're sharing a previous Patreon-only episode, talking with the fabulous and funny author, Laura Hankin, about this weird movie from the 80's. Unlike the Judy Garland version, this movie follows the original L. Frank Baum stories more faithfully - it helps to know that going in. A creepy Halloween classic, presented to you for...Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

Some of us thought this was a delightful movie. Some had quibbles. What did YOU think?

This is part two of two.It's our first crossover episode! For this one, we join forces with Hallmark Snark to share our takes on Jingle Bell Run, and we get to do snarks and sparks and "will this love last?" Which we all pretty much agreed it wouldn't. But it's fun while it's here!If you hate commercials but love a sassy movie breakdown with a lot of pithy life observations strewn in, look for us on Patreon for an ad-free experience and bonuses!You can also find us on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nameless-best-friends/id1714011277 and on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5TL5kAlHI2uQ3NGet2FO0g?si=e16dadfa84684df5

This is part two of two. We had a watch party with Paige's lifelong bff, Emily, and Jack's fiance, June! Unsurprisingly everyone had a LOT to say about this one. Obviously we realize this is not supposed to be a serious drama but is it too much to ask that Hot Frosty be...hot?If you want to enjoy our episodes without commercials, look for us on Patreon! The lowest tier is $5/month and we're covering ALLLLLL the Countdown to Christmas movies this season as well as special bonuses!

This movie sure inspired us. Believe it or not, MOST of our complaints ended up on the cutting room floor, but there was no way to cover this one without pointing out that there was zero chemistry among any of the leads and the sister character was obviously dead. Not only that, but the family had clear left the house in a huge and desperate hurry 25 years ago. But our plucky heroine has no damns to give for sentiment. It's bonkers.Remember - all episodes are available commercial-free on Patreon! Go ahead and patronize us for the Christmas season, all the cool kids are doing it! :)

This is part two!For this (two part!) episode, we are joined by the lovely, funny, and authentically Irish actress, Amy Shiels! How lucky for all of us! She sets us straight on some "conventional wisdom" about Ireland, specifically Irish songs; but she spends most of the time proclaiming her absolute adoration of Hallmark movies. They should get on that and hire her, pronto!
