It's hard to find fault with a Nancy Meyers movie because the scenery is so intoxicating. That's her trick. She lures us in via gorgeous kitchens with refrigerators to die for...and Jack Nicholson's character very nearly does. Arguably that would have been better, because then she could have stayed with that nice doctor, Keanu Reeves.Look, there were problems but it was still, overall, a delight.

For the theme, 'So...This is Love?"In this one, the Harbisons think florist code is problematic, Paige gets in a tit-off with her nonexistent child, and everyone recalls warmly the one year they all liked Ashton Kutcher (‘shton' to his friends, among whom jack counts himself).

Our fourth season opens with us mixing it up a little bit - instead of enduring every one of the off-season movies even Hallmark doesn't care about, we're widening the net by choosing a theme for the month and torturing each other with surprise choices. This month's theme is, loosely, "makeovers" and this is Paige's choice. It was indeed torture for some of us.If you want to prep for our next "makeover" viewing, Beth's choices are both The Brady Bunch:Season 2 episode 9 – Not So Ugly DucklingSeason 5 Episode 22 The Hair-Brained SchemeBTW, Demi Moore's memoir is excellent. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inside-out-demi-moore/1131282066?ean=9780062049544If you hate commercials but love a sassy movie breakdown with a lot of pithy life observations strewn in, look for us on Patreon for an ad-free experience and bonuses!You can also find us on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nameless-best-friends/id1714011277 and on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5TL5kAlHI2uQ3NGet2FO0g?si=e16dadfa84684df5Find books by Beth Harbison everywhere books are sold, and definitely look for Paige's book The Other Side of Now in Spring 2025 and find her hilarious one minute Hallmark, etc. videos on TikTok and Instagram, where she's known as Pharbeaux.Jack's music is at Thalo.music and it's great so go stream some today!

Wow, what words to even use to describe this...piece. For a hella devout group of people, there's so much ego, so much 'missing the point,' so much car-sitting. The preaching, the sanctimonious monologues, the very very white hip hop flash mob...the CAMERON of it all. Holy god, is all we have to say. We had an amazing time with Jen & Fletch, so the episode is a blast thank GOD. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Paige's fault. Entirely. Teen Beach Movie and now this.Look, if you're looking for a great or beautiful film, this is far from it.

Hilarious author Lindsay Hameroff (Till there was You) joins us for what some of us found to be a pleasant holiday diversion. It's no "Round and Round," sure, but it's also not "Letters to Santa."

If you love The Sound of Music so much that you'll settle for anything even remotely similar, this is the movie for you! Not saying that's a bad thing, we actually found it pretty enjoyable. Were there a few ridiculous coincidences? Of course. A cheap device to create pity and a "serious" tone? Indeed. Was there a happy ending? Weirdly enough...we're not going to say. Even though you could guess. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Vanessa Hudgens and Vanessa Hudgens star in The Princess Switch! Little to no effort is made to make this in any way plausible but it's still a pleasant movie. The rental house "Kevin" and "Stacy" have is fantastic, but what isn't beautiful in Belgravia, amirite? Besides the castle.By the way, only one of us thought it was a good idea to leave the rambling intro in. It wasn't Beth. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In honor of WICKED being released today, we're sharing a previous Patreon-only episode, talking with the fabulous and funny author, Laura Hankin, about this weird movie from the 80's.

This is part one of two. We had a watch party with Paige's lifelong bff, Emily, and Jack's fiance, June! Unsurprisingly everyone had a LOT to say about this one.

This movie sure inspired us. Believe it or not, MOST of our complaints ended up on the cutting room floor, but there was no way to cover this one without pointing out that there was zero chemistry among any of the leads and the sister character was obviously dead. Not only that, but the family had clear left the house in a huge and desperate hurry 25 years ago. But our plucky heroine has no damns to give for sentiment. It's bonkers.Remember - all episodes are available commercial-free on Patreon! Go ahead and patronize us for the Christmas season, all the cool kids are doing it! :) Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For this (two part!) episode, we are joined by the lovely, funny, and authentically Irish actress, Amy Shiels! How lucky for all of us! She sets us straight on some "conventional wisdom" about Ireland, specifically Irish songs; but she spends most of the time proclaiming her absolute adoration of Hallmark movies. They should get on that and hire her, pronto! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The hilarious Sophia Benoit, author of "Well, This is Exhausting", joins us to discuss Triva at St. Nick's. We have a lot to say, hence the two parts. Stick around after the end of episode one for a sample of Jack's excellent song, "Sorry Sorry Sorry." (Some of us are over-apologizers). Remember, if you prefer no commercials, we do have a Patreon where every episode comes ad-free and we have special Patreon-only episodes and group chats. Either way, we appreciate you!

Welcome back! Paige, Beth, and Jack are still at it. This is part two of "Holiday Mismatch - if you missed part one, it's out there somewhere! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hilda and Zelda Spellman are reuinited! And so are the Harbison crew - Jack joins us for HOLIDAY MISMATCH, starring two of our faves from the 90's sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Salem did not join them, alas - it might have made this better. But this is still a semi-fun movie, and a very fun discussion! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

What a delightful surprise this is! Very cute, somewhat believable, with charming leads. This is a movie that evokes the feeling of a coffee commercial, relaxing on a soft sofa in a sunny Christmas-decorated living room, listening to a good story. Not a great story, but a solidly good one. And there's a train. Two thumbs pretty much up. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's exactly what it sounds like. A singing movie. A duet. Overwrought vocals. Muddy plot. Both leads have lovely voices but was this the place and the way to display them? You tell us! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lucky episode 13 of season 3. Beth hated it. A lot of her loathing had to be cut. Apologies in advance if you loved this movie. But if you want to know what it's about, it's a little story about theater kids being theater kids way past the time they should be grown ups. There. You're welcome.

Another movie based on simple misunderstandings and people who could have used their words right from the beginning and avoided all the confusion. If that's your thing, you're in for a treat - there was a LOT of confusion. There was a mildly interesting story with the parents, and a couple of funny moments, but if this is how the FBI works, we're all in trouble! Hide your jewels!
