Go Get Your Girl

Tis the season friends! It's the grand kick-off of 2025's Go Get Your Ho Ho Ho's!!

How did this movie spawn 2 separate sequels?! You'll have to tune in to find out!

Alright, alright, alright y'all, it's not a romcom but it's a fun, sexy time so just indulge us on this one. Emma & Katie talk birthday tarot, nepo babies, multiple dreadful euphemisms, normalizing female horniness, and neither ask nor answer the question of why Emma can't seem to pronounce anyone's names in this.

Get ready to help seal the Honmoon! This week Emma & Katie dive into the 2025 global phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters!! This week they ask what happens when you combine Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jem and the Holograms, Sailor Moon and Josie and the Pussycats; The answer is GOLDEN! There will be Shadow Daddies, a brief introspective on the KPop machine (a la Katie-style) and SO MUCH MORE! So tune in and take a sip of our Soda-Pop, our little soda-pop.

CW:Self HarmSuffer with us through this surface level rehash of the graduate that every 25 year old (male) film school grad feels like they have to make. We talk F*R*I*E*N*D*S, Funerals, and Fucking, and the early career of JJ Abrams

It's HOA HOA HOA season girlies! And this isn't your standard review of the 2008 masterpiece Twilight. This is an in depth look at how the Catherine Hardwick original personally tormented Katie's mind!!!! We spend a record amount of time discussing how this film became a cultural phenomenon and how the com can come from bad writing. HOA HOA HOA folks!!

Its a slow boat to Vancouver as Emma & Katie talk about the 8th Friday the 13th movie for some reason, and also the current state of this country, the Music Box of Horrors 2025, Batman, more than a little bit about Birdman, Times Square through the years, and of course, the ever present threat of toxic waste.

The girls are on board and BABES — this train does not have Wi-Fi, snacks, or emotional stability. This week on Go Get Your Girl, we're watching Train to Busan, the South Korean zombie masterpiece that said “what if your commute… but make it traumatic?” We're talking zombie Pilates in the aisles, a dad who discovers feelings way too late, and one baseball himbo who deserved the world. It's high-speed horror, found family, and mascara running faster than the undead. We laughed, we screamed, we sobbed — and yes, we're still riding the Trauma Express.

It's our 100th Episode, baby! Emma & Katie celebrate 2 years of podcasting with one of their fave movies of all time, the 1999 cinematic masterpiece, The Mummy. We also discuss the malls of Kansas City, MO, fan conventions, the embarrassment that comes from loving something, the lost art of the commentary track, what good ever came from reading a book, and if you listen close you can hear Charlie actually say something in the background! Thanks for a hundred episodes, Dozens, hope to have hundreds more.

Ghosts? Gaslighting? Eleanor being the WORST? We must be at Hill House.

It's spooky season again, which means it's time to temporarily transform into Go Get Your GHOUL! For the next month we will be covering horror movies instead, and we're kicking off this year with the classic slasher about that "weirdo" Freddy Krueger, A Nightmare on Elm Street. We also talk about The Current Situation, My Chemical Romance, we debut our new motto, "Let's get laid," Emma demonstrates the classic horror movie run, and we get wrapped around the axle about coffee makers and Elm Street lore. Fact Check: Jennifer Lawrence doesn't appear in the remake of Last House on the Left, but in the original horror movie, The House on the End of the Street. In our defense, the titles are REALLY similar, but the movies are nothing alike.

Forget glass slippers—Danielle brings books, swords, and a backbone. This week Emma and Katie discuss Ever After: the Cinderella retelling where Drew Barrymore rescues the prince, Angelica Huston steals every scene, and Leonardo da Vinci shows up as your iconic Fairy Godmother. Come for the jaw dropping costumes, stay for the historic inaccuracies.

Context. It was 2008. It was a very different time. The Girls Next Door was one of the hottest shows on cable, Emma & Katie go deep on what exactly was in the water back then, and also the whole deal with Playboy, Sororities, nostalgia blinders for bad movies, and the leagility of raw milk. Also, bad news about Marvin.Woof.

Grab your pointe shoes and emotional baggage — we're heading back to the American Ballet Academy! This week, Emma and Katie are talking Center Stage — the deliciously dramatic, dance-filled Y2K masterpiece that gave us love triangles, toe blisters, and one truly iconic final number (yes, we're still dancing to Jamiroquai).They break down Jody's rebellious pirouettes, Eva's IDGAF attitude, and Cooper Nielson's undeniable bad-boy energy (and questionable choreography...aka motorcycles on stage??). If you've ever yelled “I am the best goddamn dancer in the American Ballet Academy!” at your mirror — this one's for you.
