    Two weeks in a row! Some might say we're on a roll…This week we take a look at a movie neither of us have seen before, Horse Sense, and neither one of us is ready for it. Which Lawrence brother is which? Couldn't tell you. But if one of them has the hookup on a video alarm clock he's my favorite.

    Who could’ve seen this coming? A DCOM with a male lead who we don’t despise? A heartwarming plot filled to the brim with non-toxic male figures? ZENON?! This is a fun episode as we continue to dive back in to the podcast in part 1 of our Johnny Tsunami/Johnny Kapahala journey. Part 2 will almost assuredly be worse than this because there’s very little way it could be better.Twitter: @WorsePodcastIG: @worsethanyouremember

    We're back from our almost 3 month long quarantine hiatus to talk about The Thirteenth Year! This movie was originally supposed to be the very first episode of WTYR, but was quickly scrapped because it was the definition of a "first pancake". However, this time, we were a little TOO on the same page with how we felt about this movie being a trans narrative, how baby mermaids are brought into the world, and who we think the horniest Disney characters of all time are.Follow us!

    Pukin Pluto! This definitely isn't a Disney Channel Original Movie - but we have our reasons. Recently we've found ourselves gravitating back to some classic childhood favorites to deal with the stress and uncertainty of quarantine. So, for the foreseeable future, we're going to be shaking things up a bit in terms of schedule. Prepare for some deep cuts, some old but amazing finds, the ultimate comfort food movies for the next couple of weeks, starting with Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius.Follow us!

    In a masterpiece of editing, Bess has cut down the two hour, passionate discussion we had about Get A Clue into a manageable and agreeable hour and twelve minutes. You’re welcome.
