Actually, I Loved It

Episode ssssssssixty four and I don't know why we're hissing because these snakes can scream! This week Kayla hired a boat for Katy and them to cruise down a river filled with absolutely 100% true snake facts. Will our intrepid hosts make it out alive? Probably not but who cares cause JLo and EStoltz are here looking very hot. Featuring: Lil Ana and Big Ana, how does one become a snake puppeteer (asking for a friend) and Paul Serone: most iconic villain of all time or walking pile of red flags?    EDIT NOTES: The film Jim Carrey starred in was called: Man on the Moon 

It's the 63rd episode and we're walking down the aisle - or should we say we're bursting through the door and interrupting the ceremony, because this week Katy took Kayla on a destination vacation to the fastest organized wedding of the season! There are bridal party montages, there are feats of toxic masculinity, there are awfully dated 90s references - there is A LOT going on. Featuring: The sarcophagus on real cinema, het nonsense and do they know Scotland is a real place?  

It's the 62nd episode and we're taking you back to 62AD. Or are we? We're openly bad at history and have no idea when this is set! This week Kayz embroiled Katy in some political scandals involving Rome, arranged marriages and horse murder-but honestly, who cares because a volcano is about to erupt and kill so many people. Just so so many people. Featuring: sad ab facts, 'Gladiator/Titanic/Jeremy Irons-lite' and what a 'catchy event'!

Episode 61 and we're Looney Tunes back in action baby! Much like our girl Reese we've been missing with no note or phone calls, but we're finally coming home and demanding a divorce! Don't worry though - we're just gonna fall in love with you all over again, leave our genuinely normal and lovely new fiancé and never leave. Ever. Featuring: calm grown adult steps, electrocuted children should go to hospital and JC works hard, but stupidity works harder.   Notes: 39 min 23 sec - old man baby face

Episode 60, flixty and thriving. This week Kayla gave Katy a mysterious job on a mysterious island with a mysterious assassin. Our guardian angel/Kayla's nemesis is back baby, and ready to kick all the one-word smokey villains! Featuring: Elektra is a terrible assassin, we love WOMEN and how to avoid the whisper of a crack.

Buckle in y'all, episode 59 is coming in HOT and it is BONKERS. Truly. Think of anything and this movie has it. Except for the RPG of our dreams. This week, Katy took Kayla on a wild spaceship ride to a thousand different planets, stories, characters, plots and did we enjoy ourselves? Abso-freakin-lutely! Featuring: I am INNNNNN-AH, We love The Eyebrows, just not The Eyebrows' house and 'So where's Rihanna?'

Do you DARE to listen to episode 58?? Us lil DEVILS sure hope so, 'cause this week Kayla took Katy down to the mean streets of Hell's Kitchen where there was a lot of rooftop jumping and oh so much Evanescence. Featuring: I know a lot, but not that, Kayla's relationship cycle with Jennifer Garner and Matt Murdoch is a literal murderer! 

Episode 57 coming at you like a shark attacking a man stuck inside a lit oven-an actual plot point in this week's film! For this episode, Katy helicoptered Kayla to a remote scientific facility in the middle of the ocean to spend some time with her favourite animal and participate in some severely unethical medical research. Will they make it out alive when things start to go awry?? Probably not - this movie has a verrrrry healthy body count. Featuring: BUT THESE SHARKS CAN, Brenda deserved better and Deepest Bluest (our hats are like a shark's fin).

Sup surfer dewds? Welcome to the chill vibes of episode 56. This week Katy and Kayla (and pro surfer Jesus Christ) head to the beach to discuss the 2011 retelling of Soul Surfer, which happened in 2004. Follow us as we chat about how we genuinely love this story (emphasis on the story, not so much the movie) and also how much we love talking about our childhoods. Featuring: “That's on Quaid”, Give us the dramatic reenactment x documentary and oops, SO MANY TANGENTS   ***Episode notes: Shows Kayz & Katy talk about include; - The Rescue - The Last Czars - Roman Empire

Hey there lovers - HAPPY V DAY! It's episode 55 and while Katy enjoys a lovely break, special guest Jordan Barr joins Kayla to talk in-depth about basically everything BUT this week's movie, Valentine's Day. We kid, but be prepared for a lot of tangents about how much we love Jennifer Garner and Quentin Tarantino's foot fetish. Featuring: We still don't know if Jen goes to San Francisco, Saint chats and enemy no.1 aka precocious little children

Episode 54 and things are getting toasty in the kitchen! No wait, that's definitely something on fire. Get your 'YES CHEF's and your best knives ready because this week Kayla took Katy to the mean streets of upmarket restaurants and extremely privileged white men. Will they ever recover from the stress or understand why anyone likes this awful man? Probably not tbh. Featuring: montage chats, 437 things we hate about chef Adam and THAT FIST FULL OF CAYENNE PEPPER!!!(!)   Content warning: Brief discussion of substance abuse and self-harm.

Episode 53 and WE'RE BACK BABYYYYYYYY!! Literally ‘baby', cause it's new year: new life in the ALIPod Studios and we are giving birth to some classic 90s nostalgia. Does that make sense? No, but we never do! This week Katy took Kayla to a science lab turned maternity ward featuring a few of our favourite faces and some very questionable ethical practices! Featuring: uhm actually Arnie is very hot, shout out to Yakult and the meaning of 2022.   Links! Westminster Daddy Show - SNL

It's 2022 and we're looney tunes back in action!! Coming at you hard and fast with the first movie clue of the year. Full episode out later this week! 

Episode 53 and the LAST EPISODE OF THE SEA-SON! The Christmas season that is, we'll be back in the new year with some fresh films aaand some rotten ones. In the meantime though, Kayla decided last minute to abandon their dreams of success and drive home for Christmas, dragging Katy into the afterlife with them in the process. Then one year later they returned as snowmen. I don't know either guys. Featuring: the correct speed to watch Christmas films (1.5x), the joy of canceled plans and all we've ever wanted was a sticker with a smiley face on it.

It's episode 51 and we are getting festive, nostalgic and just a teeny bit rough on the eyes! Join us this week as Katy twirls Kayla through the magical lands of the original inception, Parthenia. It's visually challenging, everything is named after food and the fairies have attitude to spare. Featuring: everyone wants to be a cool aunt, Kayla learns what a nutcracker is and wood floats...horse doesnt.

Merry 'Fifty'mas our Christmas Angels! Hooray! We've hit half a century and to celebrate our 50th episode, we decided to ‘switch' things up a little. Well, not really. Our beloved Vanedgas did. Once again we travel to Montenaro (IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION AS TO THE WHEREABOUTS OF THIS COUNTRY, PLEASE CONTACT US) where Katy and Kayla realise their love language is constructive criticism. Is it too much to ask for a Christmas heist, a dead ghost lover and MORE Vanedgas?!  Featuring: Women in STEM, The Hierarchy of Corrupt Vanedgas and Peter from Queensland.

Episode 49 is bringing our beloved ‘tis the season' energy back with a film described simultaneously as a yuletide romance and a mouldy tangerine of a movie. Are we invested? Hello? YOU HAD US AT MOULDY! This week Katy takes Kayla on a magical sleigh ride back to 2019's ‘Last Christmas', a film with more questions than it has answers. But do we care? Of course not! Featuring: Juicy family dynamics, Look up? Look left! and our new business venture; being in a hot tub of cocoa with Henry ™ ™ ™ ™ ™.

Episode 48 pals and ‘tis a giggly one! We have come to the end of the trilogy Katy and Kayla made up to please themselves and did it disappoint? Well, a reminder that the bar was very VERY low to begin with, so you decide how we feel. This week we ventured back to 2001 to the high school comedy classic filled with some, SOME of our favourite parodied moments. We are 80% with this film and that is good enough for us. Featuring: Have we met our all-time favourite dad? Welcome to Diamond City and a brief obsession with thumb rings.

Episode 47 is taking us back to 1999, where the only way to court someone is to TRICK them! Join Katy and Kayla as they watch their dear Freddie Prinze Jr. go on a big old growth journey like the good boy he is. Yes, we admit the bar is low for any emotional growth and Freddie does skin his knees whilst getting over it, but hey, we still think he is ALL THAT - mainly because Rachael Leigh Cook is a goddess and we love her bobos (by bobos, we mean her attitude, duh). So many things to talk about - gaaah, just listen and love it like we do! Featuring: The best break-up scene in film history, glasses having their moment and welcome aboard the anti-Cameron train.

Episode 46 and the first entry in our November's All That trilogy! Are we going back to the beginning? No! We've been drawn in by the sparking relevance of new content!! This week Kayla took Katy down a very familiar teen rom-com path, just with a lot more ring lights, TikTok dances and undermining backstories. Featuring: the perils of ageing, She's All That 2.0: All Lesbians Plz and Rachel Leigh Cook can get it. 

Boohoo! It is episode 45 and our last Halloween special of the year. We're not sure if we're sad because it's over or that we had to watch Thir13en Ghosts (liars, only 12), the movie that walked so that everything else could run. Katy and Kayla got trapped for 1h30m in a glass cube of horror filled with 2001 fashion, some very well placed spectacles and what else? OH! GHOSTS. Come on in and join us for this week's episode. But remember, it'll take you 15 minutes to get inside, so plan accordingly. Featuring: Birth of the first ever Girl Boss, “We can see your homework” and the most annoying door in the world

Episode 44 and ooooh baby do we have a treat (and maybe a few tricks) for you bestie! Continuing our celebration of all things spooky, this week Kayla took Katy on a poorly planned road trip where they stumbled upon a bloody pit and the creepy wax animatronic village of Katy's dreams. Featuring: We love candles, Kayla's long running feud with Padalecki and how to tell you're in a horror film *don't get in the car!*

Episode 43 and week two of our Halloween coverage! This week Katy promised Kayla a 'Gremlins'-esq adventure and instead took them to a satanic ritual in the basement. It wasn't exactly what was promised on the VHS cover, but our fearless hosts waded into the Fish-Ghoulie-infested waters regardless on the hunt for some diamonds and 3D glasses! Featuring: DID YOU KNOW? Women didn't exist before 1984, the devil Malcolm and the surprising early years of Kath Day-Knight. 

Episode 42 and oh my god is that someone behind you? Don't look. No wait! Don't turn around…slowly, slowly come with us instead for the start of our month-long Halloween celebrations!

Episode 40 and we're turning in for the night!  Not for sleep, oh no. We're going to the DREAMSCAPE. The DREAMZONE.

Featuring: child writers, the hardest working bully in Hollywood and dream dream dream dream dream dream.

Episode 39 and we're having had a *bloody* good time! This week Kayz took Katy to see a tragically desperate (and secretly satanic) indie band only for the bar to explode in an incredible display of comedy, horror and before-its-time feminism. Featuring: the complexities of female friendships, 00s fashion, and the fact that Adam Body is very hot. 

It's episode 38 my sweet angels and I hope you've got your weirdest most comforting hat on because we've got a series of roads to escape on in the nick of time while they crumble beneath us! This week Katy whisked Kayz back to a simpler, more presidential-loving time to witness the end of the world. Featuring: pragmatic marriages, 'bloody epic innit?' and vale Tamara.

It's number 37 and I have died every day waiting for this episode! The culmination of a most sensual journey. Kayz finally took Katy and special guest/resident Twi-Hard Ollie to the centre of a frozen field in Forks to stare at each other very dramatically. Featuring: Edward's BIG STRONG WIFE, vampire superpowers, and Charlie taking what he can get. 

Episode 36 and oh boy. This week Kayla invited Katy to the vampire event of the season back in Forks! The classiest teenage shotgun wedding either of them has ever been to! Followed swiftly by a genuinely beautiful and equally horrific honeymoon. Featuring: BIG CHATS, s-e-x, and Alice's insultingly inaccurate positioning as the fashionable one.  Content Warning: Abortion (46:25 - 52:30)

Sorry bout it.  This week Katy put on the rose-tinted goggles, Kayla donned a rose-tinted monocle and together, your pals reminisced about simpler times, when the 3-4 Musketeers were in service to King Louis IVX, and when HE HAD A TWIN. Remember that? Featuring: good twin bad twin vibes, who's ye fave Musketeer? and a chunky cow
