Gina is a movie lover, and Sonia... well, Sonia is a movie "not" lover. As one of Sonia's best friends, Gina feels it is her mission to make Sonia watch all the movies that everyone else has seen and talk about her first impressions. For every episode, Gina picks the movie, and Sonia picks the cocktail.
Grow out your hair, grab a stuffed bunny, and pour yourself an Aviation cocktail in preparation for landing. Gina and Sonia are going to break down another Nicholas Cage 90s classic, Con Air. Does Sonia think it's better than Face/Off? You'll have to listen to our episode to find out...
Can you believe that Gina and Sonia have already watched 60 movies? While we take a little break before our next official episode, because, you know... life... we decided to record a bonus episode where we each pick our top ten NNSI movies. So pour yourself a glass of your favorite drink, make your own list, and see if you can earn yourself some friend points.
Join Gina and Sonia for a supersized (or BIG) episode where we talk about Tom Hanks's classic 80's boy-becomes-man movie, Big. We tackle the good, the bad, and the creepy while sipping (or slurping) our mudslides.
What do you get when you mix a Velvet Elvis with references to Romeo and Juliet, the Dude, and a few friend points? You get a really fun conversation between Gina and Sonia about True Romance. So grab your cocktail and suitcase full of cocaine, throw on your favorite Rhinestone studded jumpsuit and kick your feet up while we discuss this 90's masterpiece.
Throw on a plaid skirt, pour yourself a Gin Fizz, and kick up your feet in the back lounge with all the other employees (who is manning the store???) as Gina and Sonia dissect the 90's cult classic, Empire Records. We have a first ever occurrence in Nope, Never Saw It, by the way. Want to know what it is? You'll just have to listen. Maybe we should have held on to this episode and released it on April 8th, Rex Manning Day, but oh well. Enjoy!
Happy Holidays! This Thanksgiving movie is dropping just in time for Christmas... Gina and Sonia were very excited to talk about this holiday classic while sipping a Chicago Cocktail and trying not to cough (Gina was a little under the weather during this recording).

Hey listeners! Gina and Sonia were on a little hiatus, but we're back and ready to roll out the red carpet, cocktails, and fun discussions about movies that Gina loves and Sonia... well... feels luke warm about. Listen to this short episode to find out where we've been, what we've been up to, and what our next movie is going be.
Gina and Sonia kick off their 50th movie with a Kamakazi and follow with a Dirty Shirley (did we mention that you look really good in the red?) as they talk about that movie with the song. If you've seen the movie, you know the song. It's that one-hit wonder from the One-ders, That Thing You Do.

Bliss on The Beach? Maybe at first, but when love interests materialize and sharks attack, what first seemed like a paradise quickly devolves into a hell on Earth (thanks for letting me get a little poetic). Join Gina and Sonia as they sip their own Bliss on the Beach, and discuss the finer (and less finer) points of Danny Boyle's romance/adventure/thriller/travel film, The Beach.
What is this movie about? Does it matter? Pour yourself a Dark and Stormy while you embark on a journey with Gina and Sonia through a tear in the fabric of the 4th dimension only to find yourself in a tangent universe tasked with saving the world. You have 28 days. Oh, and say hi to Frank the Bunny. This is Donnie Darko.
