We've reached the scene that birthed possibly the most notorious "debate" in cinematic history. In our opinion, of course, there's not much of a debate here.

This is it. This is the first episode that has us on COMPLETELY opposite sides of the fence. Louis, Ren and Donnie are left to secretly fill in for the (infamous) Chef Pierre after he quits cooking for Eileen's fancy business dinner. There's plenty of ridiculousness here, much to Ethan's delight and my dismay. Still, although we strongly disagree w…

We've finally made it to the (literal) turning point of the movie! We talk all about the Californian deleted scene, "fate and freewill, predestination and human choice," and of course... the iceberg sequence.

Here we gooooo! Join us as we embark on tackling a whole new season of Even Stevens! Season 2 opens with what you probably refer to as "The BBMak Episode" or "The Lucky Penny Episode."

In this AMAZING cast & crew interview, we sit down for a fascinating and fun chat with executive producers/head writers Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler! It quickly became less about jumping from question to question and transformed into a super organic conversation in which we hope a lot of questions were answered! We talk about pretty much everythi…

We brought Liz back to discuss her favorite scene (Jack & Rose running away from Lovejoy) while Ethan was recovering from the flu. This scene also includes an interesting conversation between Captain Smith and Officer Lightoller. We discuss a buuuunch of things here like how nice it is to be reminded that people actually had fun in the early 1900s,…

After a random (but related) tangent about war movies and Dunkirk in relation to the kind of movie Titanic is, we jump into another iconic scene... The Drawing! We somehow ended up talking a little about the sinking too before analyzing the scene. There's a lot of interesting stuff here when it comes to Jack and Rose's dynamic, fun facts and more. …

SEASON ONE IS DONE!!! We've finally reached Episode 21 which, in an interesting twist, is the last episode of the season but the first episode of the series.

It's time to PARTY, PARTY ALL NIGHT LONG AT THE CASA DE FIESTA!!! as we close in on the end of Season 1. This one brings us a fun and memorable Louis subplot. You know the one. The main plot revolves around Ren getting a "C" in wood shop. We're a little tough on Ren's characterization and wholly unnecessary quest for perfection here, but she thankf…

This is the first episode that we both have ranked the same number! That's right: This is #7 on our lists. It's a super grounded episode with a lot of heart, laughs and strong development all around. In this one we're baffled by Ren's intense hairstyles, we mainly laugh/cringe at the ridiculousness that is Ren + Bobby and praise Shia's performance …

This episode is without a doubt one of the funniest and most quotable not only in Season 1, but in the entire series! Louis decides to make a short film titled "Three Eyes Wide Shut." If this movie actually existed, it would likely be in competition with Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" for best worst movie of all time. Listen as we laugh at the wonderful…

Louis really wants a slushie machine for his room, so he opens a "Doggy Day Care" to earn enough money to buy one! We're on pretty neutral ground here. This episode has its moments, but suffers from 5 too many montages. Our Tweets segment is proof that the one thing everyone seems to remember from it is Louis' "Churro machine" at the very end. List…

In this episode we discuss a super cool example of how this movie approaches historical fiction, the "deck would look too cluttered" lifeboat scene between Rose and Mr. Andrews, Jack and Rose's conversation in the gym and a few really interesting tidbits!

Chant it with us: "LUSCIOUS LOUUU! LUSCIOUS LOUUU!" Louis gets miraculously thrown onto LJH's wrestling team and he's pretty good! Everything's going great until he has to fight... a girl. Oh, boy.

Ren, Louis and Chloe (a.k.a. one-off character Number... 8? Honestly, we've lost count) break into school at night to complete a display for Lawrence Jr. High's 75th anniversary. That's literally it. Throw in some random hamsters, Jumbo-Size Crinkle Fries, plus a possibly hot laser maze and... you're still somehow left with a pretty bland episode. …

To cover November, here's a massive jumbo-sized special episode! We chat with photographer Liz Osban, Brittany's friend of 8 years who is also equally Titanic obsessed.
