As if we'd do a Podcast about our favorite 80s and 90s movies and not bring up Clueless! Released in 1995, Clueless is pretty much the reason we have souls. Aside from being one of the best things to come out of the 90s, Clueless taught us that two learners permits do NOT make a license, that breaking in your purple clogs might take some time, and that you can avoid sexual harassment if you just stay away from creepy Cranberries fans who give you random hugs and kisses. We'll talk about favorite lines (hint: all of them) favorite parts (also all of them) and ask important questions like: 'WAS Cher Jewish?' 'DID Murray ever have hair?' 'WERE they really friends with Amber?' You don't want to miss this one!

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society..I call this story: The Tale of an Awesome Bonus Episode! This week Sweetie and Sweety each picked an episode from the SNICK Classic Are You Afraid of the Dark? and then talked about it. Join us, as we discuss The Tale of the Doll Maker where a dollhouse turns young girls into dolls and their creepy china hands fall off. And the Tale of Locker 22 where a kind Hippie Ghost rewrites her past after giving a foreign exchange student some magic beads. We'll talk about Sweetie's crush on Gary, the first time the Sweeties ever watched Are You Afraid of the Dark? and why it's annoying to insert a question mark into the title of a show. Just kidding we didn't talk about that, but we're realizing now it makes for annoying episode description writing.

The year--- 1992. The VHS that Sweety rented every time she went to the video store---Death Becomes Her! Starring Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep and Bruce Willis, Death Becomes Her gave humanity a special gift in the form of eternal life and frenemies and reminded us that the 90s was kind of a terrifying decade. We'll discuss whether we'd rather go through life with a hole in our stomach or have a broken neck, how amazing Bruce Willis is in this movie AND get super philosophical and freak each other out when we talk about the concept of living forever and what being dead might feel like. Plus Bonus! Sweetie tells us a personal story about Doberman Pinschers! Grab your shovels and highly fashionable stretch pants, it's time to get spooky!

Happy Valentine's Day Sweeties! 1996 brought us The First Wives Club, basically the best movie you have EVER seen about getting back at your weasel dick husband who leaves you high and dry to bone somebody younger, hotter, and dumber. True, we were mere elementary schoolers when this movie premiered but the theme was not lost on us; when men get you down, grab some gal pals and tell that boy bye! Starring the comedic triumvirate of Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, and Bette Midler, this movie now rounds out Sweetie's top ten and hits all the notes of comedy and drama (Sweetie cried again!). We talk about which first wife is our favorite, how Diane Keaton continues to be the Hollywood version of our mother, and sing A LOT. Buckle up your prenuptial agreements people and get ready for sisters to do it for themselves!!!

GIANTS! GIANTS! GIANTS! Dude. We hate football but we love the Little Giants. So come celebrate Super Bowl Sunday in the best way possible by getting drunk and watching the Little Giants with us! Made in 1994, and starring Rick Moranis (Best, most adorable movie Dad of all time) and Ed O'Neill, (Kind of hot in that tight shorts, aviator shades, gum chewing way) The Little Giants is a feel-good sports movie about a rag-tag group of misfits who don't know a ton about football but don't really give a fuck. It celebrates woman power thanks to Becky the ICEBOX and re-re-awakens Sweetie's sexual appetite with Devon Sawa! So grab your football gear, cheerleader's skirt and Go-Kart and GO GIANTS!

Milk Money, released in 1994, is the heartwarming tale about a young boy who grew up without a mother but who also loves boobs, so goes to the Big City with $100 saved to hunt for boobs + a mother. Yes, this plot is insane but this movie is not! Starring Ed Harris and Melanie Griffith, Milk Money has been a favorite of the Sweeties from day one, not only because we love stories about prostitutes with a heart of gold but also because this movie is highly entertaining! Listen along as we discuss whether or not we could be prostitutes, the finer points of Ed Harris's career, and our real life struggles with milk money. Did you prefer chocolate or whole? We tackle it all and shockingly do absolutely no singing! (Your loss or is it?!)

What a feeling! That's right we watched Flashdance and are now dancing all over the place wearing our black leotards, legwarmers and baggy gray sweatshirts! Join us as we discuss the 1983 classic that turned everyone into maniacs (on the floor). We'll list the many reasons Mawby's Bar is probably the best place to work in Pittsburgh, talk at length about Jennifer Beals fierce fashion statements AND decide whether or not listening to the Flashdance soundtrack on repreat everyday is too much (spoiler: it's not).
