Now & Then Podcast

Hello all! We're throwing the first episode of our 3-part Patreon series on the Playboy Mansion up here so everyone can check it out!

It's our 20th recap episode. What??? In this ep, we are covering the highly-requested, ever-so-campy, and utterly plotless mockumentary "Spice World" from 1997. The film follows pop superstars, the Spice Girls, as they do -- stuff? Like we said, there's really no plot or stakes here, but you know what, it's a pretty good time. Can we ask for much more these days? 

Part 2 Baby! We're back and it's about to get a lot more chaotic. Make sure you give part 1 a listen first! Love you, friends!

Let's extend Halloween to November! This week we're doing the horror classic The Grudge. We follow an American student in Tokyo, Japan as she struggles with a new language, a new city, and a killer ghost family that's out for revenge. The usual stuff. Listen to part 1 now and swing back around for part 2 next week!

Watch a tape, get a phone call, die in 7 days. It's that easy! This week we're taking a look at The Ring. That movie that we all snuck our little sisters into and then wouldn't leave with her when she said it was too scary... oh wait that's just Haley. Listen to our episode because Emma is convinced that watching the movie The Ring is just the same as watching the tape in The Ring so don't watch it and listen to this instead. 

Welcome to episode 2 of our Conspiracy Series! This week we dive into the most horrifying haunted house in the country... but is it a haunted house or an excuse for assault?  A 40-page contract, 20 thousand dollar reward, and secret video footage no one has seen.  Join us as we look at the strange circumstances surrounding McKamey Manor. https://www.hauntersmovie.com/https://www.youtube.com/user/LoeyLanehttps://www.youtube.com/c/Gabssxoxo

We're doin it folks. The one. The only. SCREAM. Some dude in a mask is terrorizing and murdering teenagers in a small California town but who is the killer? Is it the creepy boyfriend? The money-hungry reporter? Or the victim's own father? Find out with us in this week's episode.

So this movie is the worst. At least Emma thinks so. Based on some old Shakespeare shit, this sexist BS is about pretty, popular Bianca who isn't allowed to date until her older sister Kat does. The new kid Cameron sets a scam in motion to get bad boy Patrick to date Kat so Cameron can date Bianca while tricking the school bully Joey into thinking he'll date Bianca. Basically a bunch of asshats making decisions for two young women without considering their opinions at all! cool. party. All these actors were absolutely wonderful and did a great job but boy oh boy was the material awful. This episode is sponsored by Meet Cute Box!Use code PODCAST at https://www.meetcutebox.com/ for $10 off your first Meet Cute Box. Every box is made for love with love so get yours now!

So many cheers and almost no jeers for this one! This week Haley and Emma take us through the spooky but kid-friendly world of Casper. When Dr. Harvey loses his wife he becomes obsessed with ghost psychology. He travels the country looking for his wife's lost spirit and drags his teen daughter Kat along for the ride. When the Harveys get hired to de-ghost an old abandoned mansion they pack up their life and move to Maine but what they find when they get there leaves them speechless. Secret treasure, ghost poop, and Clint Eastwood playing a mirror!

WELCOME TO SPOOKY SEASON! We're getting creepy, kooky, ooky, and spooky this week with The Addams Family!! There's a lot going on in this one including Haley and Emma having a brutal fight over The Brady Bunch Movie. What? The Addams family gets scammed when a trio of criminals decides to infiltrate their mansion by pretending to find their long-lost uncle, Fester Addams. He's accepted with open arms but nothing goes according to plan. Let's just say the Addamses are NOT the family to mess with!This episode is sponsored by Meet Cute Box!Use code PODCAST at https://www.meetcutebox.com/ for $10 off your first Meet Cute Box. Every box is made for love with love so get yours now!

Emma wants everyone to play the Sims while using a standing desk treadmill... yes like that creepy episode of Black Mirror. Haley went to the store IN PERSON only to lose the one thing she was excited about getting from the store when she got back home. Basically, they're both losing it. Join us for the 4th installment of Bonus Banter!

The Bitches of Eastwick are here in this cult classic which can only be described as the place where Heathers meets Charmed.  When teenage Sarah moves to Los Angeles (Connecticut in Emma's mind) after struggling with her mental health, she finds herself on the other end of coven recruitment. Sarah is the perfect person to join the school's scariest trio and make it a quad. Just one small requirement... she has to do a blood ceremony, help them invoke a dangerous spirit, and be ok with him taking over her body. But besides that, nothing major! Pull out your Black Honey lipstick, mesh tops, and crucifixes for this one friends cause it's about to get wicked. 

What. Is. HAPPENING!? Emma forces Haley to do a recap with zero notes. Emma calls this a "Memory Bank" episode but it's more like a "torture Haley" episode. But we made it through! School of Rock is a Jack Black masterpiece where a down-and-out rockstar steals his best friend's identity to get a teaching gig at some fancy schmancy elementary school. When he finds out his new students are fantastic musicians, he decides to teach them how to rock out and stick it to the man. They enter a battle-of-the-bands contest but will Jack Black be able to keep up his scam long enough to make the show? Or will the world of elite private school eat him alive?  Find out with us on our 10th episode! 

This week we're back with another Cheer & Jeer! Emma is dating the Jigsaw killer after he kidnapped her and she calmly explained that he had made a mistake and Haley is actively avoiding her therapist. They're both absolutely nuts and the pizza wars continue!  

Another Banter Bonus full of the nonsense that Haley and Emma think is interesting. This week Emma explains her obsession with Bama Rush Tok and Haley has some controversial thoughts about pizza. 

Our most unhinged episode yet... maybe that's because we had to record it twice, Emma rants about some audition she got and Haley is drinking expired seltzers. Not to mention they both lie down halfway through recording. You get what this one is about - a club full of babysitters that babysit babies... also children, dogs, and the occasional drunk aunt. But THIS summer the Baby-Sitters Club is doing a summer camp! With absolutely no adult supervision whatsoever! Yaaaaay! Also Kristy's biological father randomly shows up and we all hate him. Check out this episode or don't cause it's absolutely insane. Love Ya!!

Haley and Emma are talking a bunch of nonsense in this Banter Bonus!

Some of the sweetest candies are sour as death inside... This week we're taking a look at the 1999 cult classic Jawbreaker about a vapid group of mean girls who accidentally kill their friend while kidnapping her for a pancake breakfast. Of course, they don't tell the cops and instead are blackmailed by the class nobody Fern Mayo who catches them talking about the murder... or is it manslaughter? Find out with us in this new episode!

This week Haley and Emma revisit Matilda! The 1996 magical tale of an abused child... wait what? This was a lot darker than we remember. Emma thinks Matilda is a villain and Haley almost throws up from the chocolate cake scene. Join us while we dig into this classic!

Damn the Man, Save the Empire! This week Haley and Emma take a look at Empire Records. When an indie record store is at risk of getting sold to a large chain, the teen staff ignores that problem and instead spends their day being awful to each other and lipsyncing to a bunch of awesome songs. This cult classic is full of all things '90s including its outstanding soundtrack. As far as plot goes... well there isn't one. Dive in with us!

holy Holy HOLY! This week Haley and Emma recap this 2004 religious satirical comedy. When Mary decides to have sex with her gay boyfriend Dean to save him from eternal damnation, she soon gets a lesson on one major consequence of unprotected sex. A Baby!! But enough about Mary. We're really here for Cassandra and Roland. A chain-smoking, Jewish, degenerate who is forced to go to Christian school after getting kicked out of her last one and her adorable and equally snarky boyfriend who lives in the shadow of his aggressively religious sister Hilary-Faye. This one has it all folks so check it out. 

This Disney original is interesting to say the least. Was it our favorite? NOPE. Join us as we tear into this '90s body-switching movie starring Katherine Heigl and Danielle Harris. 

Welcome to the '60s! This week Haley and Emma are discussing The Trouble With Angels, a 1966 film based on the book Life with Mother Superior by Jane Trahey. This movie follows two trouble-making pranksters through their last 3 years at catholic boarding school and the ridiculous shenanigans that take place. It's full of heart, moxie and of course TROUBLE.  

Haley and Emma take on this campy reboot of the Brady Brunch where America's most wholesome family is plopped down into '90s Los Angeles. A nasty real estate developer Mr. Dittmeyer (or is it Dittwire? Emma doesn't know) is scheming to get the Brady family kicked out of their home. Will they find $20,000 to save their house? Will Marsha figure out which date to take to the dance? Will Haley sing multiple songs this episode? Join us and find out!

For our debut episode, we'd be remiss not to cover a childhood favorite starring the quintessential  millennial icon and tween heartthrob, JTT (a nickname he hated, apparently – forgive us Jonathan!). We hope you'll check out our recap of Tom & Huck – it was a wilder ride than we bargained for. 

An introduction to the Now & Then Podcast where Haley and Emma recap the movies that defined their millennial childhoods.
