Film to Table

Presented under false pretenses?

We wrap our Summer of Spielberg series with a full discussion about Back to the Future. Join the girls + special guest Film Critic Dom for a deep dive into the actors' chemistry, the flawless script, and the changes we'd make if we had access to a DeLorean.

Dun nuh. Dun. Nuh. Dun. Nuh. You know what that chilling sound means - our fifth SoS film is up and great whites have entered the chat. Listen in with special guest @thesteveking talk about the monologue that changed everything, and join the best summer potluck of all time. 

In this episode, we are coming back down to earth but bringing an extraterrestrial with us. ET is wrinkly and cute, kind of like Michelle as a baby. We gush over the adorableness of the film's sibling dynamics, Spielberg's experimental camera play, and talk about why frogs deserve better. Grab your bike and Reese's Pieces. We're going to Elliot's house.  

Get your booty traps ready. This week we're riding down a nostalgic waterslide as we revisit the 1985 classic, The Goonies!

This week Michelle & Laura are taking you on a date to the desert. But don't worry, you can leave your white dress and high heels at home, just bring a lasso. There will be snakes. There will be hot archeologists. There will be a lot of confusion about the plot line.  Listen in to Episode 2 of FTT's SoS season, Indy Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

Kicking off the heat of this season in a jungle far, far away. Michelle and Laura swoon over Laura Dern, discuss their fear of toilets, question the film's romantic chemistry (or lack of it), and create the most eclectic dinner party yet. Grab your night vision goggles, green jello, and dinosaur pajamas, and join us for Jurassic Park.

It's almost summer, and that means it's time to hit the drive-in theater and get nostalgic about the blockbuster films that became classics for millennials.

In our Season 3 Finale, we're matching up the best fake dating films, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and 10 Things I Hate About You.   Grab your snacks and get ready to chat about the inside of raincoats, prom dresses, cucumber sandwiches and those Dawson's River kids.  

In a season dedicated to love, we did not anticipate a plot twist that is the argument that breaks out in this episode. In this week's pairing, we're chatting (disagreeing) about two films set in the 1940s: The Notebook and Casablanca. Join Laura and Michelle as they try to convince one another that one of these two movies deserves all its accolades. Be sure to tell us where you stand. Don't be a Rick about it.

Two chefs, two love triangles, and one very big hoe. In this week's matchup, we're chatting about 1954's Sabrina and the 2009 Nancy Meyers delight, It's Complicated. Join Laura and Michelle for a conversation about the two films, but mostly about chocolate croissants.

What does a 1989 movie about people trying to find love in New York City have to do with a 2022 Norwegian film about a girl who can't make up her mind? In our Season 3 premiere, we've matched two romantic stories we think make the perfect pairing: When Harry Met Sally and The Worst Person in the World. Join Laura, Michelle, and special guest host Matt for a conversation about love, friendship, cabins, karaoke machines, and running through the streets.

In a Film to Table first, we're talking about a film both of us have not seen and probably do not want to see again. This week we're chatting about the 1996 classic(?)

The Chinese food may be terrible, but the grits are flowing this week as we head to Beechum County, Alabama, where we encounter a judge who's aching to put us in jail, an idiot who wants to fight us for two hundred dollars, slaughtered pigs, giant loud whistles, no sleep in five days, no money, a dress code problem, and a little murder case which in the balance holds the lives of two innocent kids, not to mention your (stomps floor) biological clock.
