Episode 77: The Majestic

Viewing Party is back this week with another Jim Carrey movie (much to Katie’s delight) — The Majestic! In this episode, we talk about Dr. Seuss movies, Katie makes up a new saying that we should probably trademark, we reference a 1995 cookie commercial, and there is a lot of giggling for a movie about Hollywood blacklisting during the communist scare of the 50s.

In this episode, Katie reveals a secret about watching superhero movies, we discuss the Royal Wedding and the current and former hotness of the princes, Wesleigh tries to explain Lovebürger, and some cute puppers join us for the recording!

Episode 2: The Fast and the Furious

After two family-friendly movies, we're changing up genres this week and jumping into the heavily-filtered world of The Fast and the Furious. Grab a cold Snapple or an iced cappuccino and join Katie and Wesleigh as we discuss street racing, the terrible fashion trends of the early 00s, alternate versions of Vin Diesel, pre-9/11 America, and how this film is similar to The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde (you know you want to hear that connection!).
