Send us a text Reach for the skyyyyyyy, because this week is all about 1995's Pixar OG-- Toy Story ! For our third round of March Movie Madness, you chose ANIMATION so we are diving into the origins of Pixar, casting, difficulties with animation, and much more as we cover this beloved movie. KATRINA is the PRO of this episode and she has lots of trivia to lull Anna into a false sense of safety, and she's given herself a self-imposed challenge to not swear. Well good luck with that, Katrina, and bring on the Toy Story goodies! ANNA is the CON and though this movie is a challenge, she does manage to bring a criticism she thinks even Katrina won't be able to defend. What could it be? Listen and find out!…

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Indiana Getting Love From His Distant Father is the Real Holy Grail 1:32:59

Send us a text Movie Madness continues this week with the DUOS region, and the winner is Harrison Ford and pointing his finger! We're covering 1989's brilliant third installment in the Indiana Jones franchise: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! ANNA is the PRO and she's itching for a button push from Katrina. Will this be the episode? And in a movie highlighting the Indiana Jones origin story, it seems only appropriate to delve into the history of the Indiana Jones character as a whole. KATRINA is the CON and she's gonna have to work extra hard to avoid a button push with a movie this good. She does have some questions, though. For instance, how exactly does one survive a stomach bullet wound so long? Or why does Indiana bother ripping out the pages of the journal at all instead of just sending the whole thing?…

Send us a text You voted and we listened! Thank you all for voting which movies you wanted us to cover, and we’re starting off our Movie Madness with the Director region. Stephen Spielberg took the prize by a mile, so 1993’s Jurassic Park, it is. We’re heading down to Isla Nublar to discuss this iconic blockbuster and and maybe have one or two tequila shots. Or possibly more, it’s hard to say. Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think! Anna is the PRO and she’s gonna throw every trick she has at Katrina to try and get a button push. Katrina is the CON and she’s attacking science like a T-rex attacks a plexiglass car roof. Can she throw Anna off her game? Listen and find out!…

Send us a text All. Bets. Are. Off. This week we’re celebrating Katrina’s wedding anniversary and she chose Guy Ritchie’s brilliant dark comedy— Snatch ! Katrina comes with a briefcase full of trivia. Like how did Brad Pitt end up in the film? And what’s with his accent? KATRINA- is the PRO and she will get a button push from Anna no matter what. Even if she has to threaten Anna with fake guns and hungry pigs. ANNA- is the CON and she’s just hoping she can mumble her way through the synopsis so Katrina won’t catch a penalty. Wanna find out? Well than slam a shot and board a plane, because this is gonna be good.…

Send us a text Grab a fedora and a pie because it’s time to talk about 1976’s Bugsy Malone ! This is an absolute favorite for Anna and Katrina and we don’t wanna hear any guff about it! This utterly charming musical from first time director, Sir Alan Parker, has everything—200 child actors, songs written and performed by the brilliant Paul Williams, SPLURGE GUNS….everything! We truly hope you’ll enjoy this one and if you want to watch the movie before listening to the episode, it’s free on Pluto TV, and available to buy or rent on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. ANNA- is the PRO on this one and boy, oh boy is she ever excited! She’s ready to throw a pie and push a button because this one was chosen by Anna for her birthday and the movie is so delightful it really is a birthday gift for everyone! Well…except for maybe Katrina who has to attack it. KATRINA- is the CON and isn’t particularly happy about it, as she has to attack a movie with her favorite actress of all time, Jodie Foster. Will Jodie be Katrina’s downfall and lead to a button push? Listen and find out!…

Tango and Cash: Hot Take--Cash and Tango Sounds Better, Fight Me. 1:20:33

1:20:33

Send us a text Anna and Katrina, Katrina and Anna. While they are technically not two of the 80's biggest action stars, they were alive in the 80's, and watched a lot of action movies. Including the movie they are covering this week, and this movie has everything! Rats in a maze for absolutely no reason. Actors willy nilly changing their accents. A slinky. Social commentary on the need for prison reform. Everything! Please enjoy 1989's Tango and Cash! KATRINA-is the pro, and she is going to giggle her way through some great trivia in the hopes that between accents, rodents, a Howard brother, and a questionable "dance" number she can trap Anna in a button push. ANNA-is the con, and she thinks that between accents, rodents, Sly's propensity to "help" the director, and a questionable "dance" number there will be more cons in this movie than Stallone has Razzie nominations.…

Trick or Treat (1986): Okay Fine, He's a Dead, Evil Murderer...but he Dances Like an Angel and his Song is a Bop 1:31:47

21 weeks ago1:31:47

1:31:47

Send us a text Do you love horror movies with a hero who is a rockin non-conformist that can't wait for a gaggle of preppy pricks to get their comeuppance? And also, Gene Simmons as a disc jockey, Ozzy Osbourne as preacher, and acclaimed Solid Gold dancer Tony Fields (RIP) as a recently crispified and mostly deceased hard rock idol? You might think this sounds like a fever dream, but it is actually 1986's Trick or Treat!!! ANNA-is the pro, and she has the power of kick ass trivia, an amazing rock soundtrack (yeah, we said it), dance moves (all amazing, no notes), and even a Tim Curry reference, so safe to say she won't need a trick to get a button push out of Katrina. Or will she? KATRINA-is the con, and she had tequila. And she loves kick ass trivia, amazing rock soundtracks, dance moves off kinds, and of course, Tim Curry. She gives up and accepts her fate. This one is all treats, no tricks. Listen and enjoy!!!…

Send us a text It's our 2nd to last spook-tober episode for 2024, and if you are a demon disguising as a human this one is going to scare the spirit out of your soul-less corpse! This movie is so good Matthew McConaughey is better than all right, all right, all right. Sorry, it was right there. And Powers Boothe as Special Agent Wesley Doyle? Yes, please! Enjoy Bill Paxton's directorial debut, 2002's Frailty! KATRINA-is the pro, and she loves this movie so much she barely gets Bill Paxton mixed up with Bill Pullman. Barely. She has trivia, insults for Anna, tequila, insults for Anna. But does she get a button push from Anna, or does the Colorado altitude make her immune? ANNA-is the con, and if she thought a Matty Mac movie would be a slam dunk for the con, she has another thing coming! He's great in this! What will she find to distract Katrina from her serial killer love fest? Listen and find out!…

Child's Play: Sure He's a Murderous Doll, but No One Can Say Chucky Isn't At Least Friendly-ish 1:22:20

Send us a text Wanna plaaaaaaay..........our latest episode? Will you be our podcast friend till the end? C'mon, these hints are gold. Plus, we give you the name of the episode at the top, so you kind of go into this with an advantage. The Split Happens sisters can't think of anything that gets you more in the mood for spooktober than an adorable, albeit homicidal foul mouthed doll with an unending un-alive list. We are thrilled to bring you 1988's Child's Play. KATRINA-is the pro, and she has about 7 hours of pre-synopsis trivia, which works out great since Anna distracted her with about 7 gallons of tequila during the episode, so things may get more sloppy than spooky. ANNA-is the con and she sure does love foul mouthed short people, being as she is one, and Katrina is banking on this episode being button push nirvana. If only she can see straight to push the button........…

Send us a text A movie about furry little creatures from outer space causing a ruckus? Have the Split Happens got the repeater going on? Heck no, it isn't Christmas, it's spoooooooky season! That means they are covering the movie about the OTHER movie about furry little creatures from outer space that cause a ruckus. Specifically, ruckus creatures from 1986. Specifically called Critters. ANNA is the pro-and she is armed with poison quill covered trivia, as well as the knowledge that along with the power of tequila, Katrina's love for Tim Curry look a likes should make her powerless against the button push of doom. "Dee Wallace get your ass on stage!" KATRINA is the con-and after she realized this movie was not about fried corn wrapped in dough she thought, "hey, that's a con, this isn't going to be so hard!". But then she remembered, Tim Curry look a likes.........…

Witchboard(1986) Just a Little Psychic Humor and a Dash of Ghostly Homicide 1:28:22

25 weeks ago1:28:22

1:28:22

Send us a text We are kicking off our month of spoooooky episodes with a suspenseful, supernatural, spirit filled gem. This movie has everything: An 80's soap opera star; enough Aqua Net to destroy the ozone layer; gum; a Ouija board; a possessed spirit who may or not be a pissed off 10yo.........everything!!!!! Enjoy 1986's Witchboard ! KATRINA IS THE PRO-and even though there isn't much trivia for this movie, that doesn't stop her from going on and on about how incredibly amazing and bananas this movie is! She feels pretty confident that between their lifelong love for Stephen Nichols' titular role of Steve "Patch" Johnson from Days of Our Lives and Kathleen Wilhoite's perfect portrayal of psychic Zarabeth, she will get a button push from Anna. OR ELSE!!! ANNA IS THE CON-and she is well aware of Katrina's tricks and is planning to deny her love for Patch and Zarabeth like a disgruntled spirit refusing to go into the light. Whoops, wrong movie. She's a savvy ho, but will high spirits (again, wrong movie) and her love for 80's horror films possess her conning ways??? Listen and find out!…

Pete's Dragon (1977): Back When They'd Write Songs About Tearing Kids and Dragons Apart and No One Seemed to Mind 1:21:23

31 weeks ago1:21:23

1:21:23

Send us a text Is that a dragon in your pocket or..........hey, knock it off! This is a podcast that is only MARGINALLY inappropriate when covering children's movies, and boy do we have a doozy for you! Do you like dragons, and songs, and orphans, but not overly fond of dragons from outer space, or just don't trust Sheb Wooley in general? Same! Look no further than 1977's fire breathing heart warmer Pete's Dragon! And just to be clear before you ask and maybe didn't see the date, this is the orIginal, not the remake, because WE DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!!! ANNA-is the pro, and as usual she has tons of the 3 t's: trivia, tequila, and talking back. She gets extra salty when defending cherished childhood movies, but movies she loves with Helen Reddy and Mickey Rooney? Everyone better shut up! KATRINA-is the con, and ordinarily we are real cautious about saying anything negative about "the mouse", but this time.....we still don't touch the name that rhymes with Stickey Clouse. She does has a few other cons up her sleeve, and she made sure to not day drink the day of recording to smugly stand in judgment of one Mr. Rooney. Boom, roasted.…

Send us a text Hey!! Who wants to be able to perform complex facial reconstruction surgeries without going to medical school??!! To quote the hot European lady from Super Troopers, "I do, I do!!!". Better yet, what if we said we have an episode about a movie that is so cuckoo bananas it needed not ONE, but TWO action stars? Enter dancing queen himself Sir John Travolta and "nepotism makes me sick but the Godfather is still a classic" Nicolas Cage. Please enjoy our equally cuckoo bananas recap of 1997's Face Off! ANNA is the pro-and in addition to some kick ass trivia, she also brings sass, tequila, trickery, and a touch more tequila. Will this lethal combination be enough to carve, heh, heh, a button push from Katrina? KATRINA is the con-and while she feels confident that the pure silliness of this movie in combination with her steadfast resolve to not enjoy Nicolas Cage movies since Leaving Las Vegas should make it easy to avoid a button push, she DOES love dancing, and you know that sly fox Travolta can't help but sneak a booty shake in.…
