Ahh! Real Films

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis because we discuss one of the scariest topics of all – friends! More specifically, movies about friendship and even more specifically, movies about shit friends – oh the horror! We discuss two stone cold classics that feature nightmare friendships (as well as a lot of teenage angst and anger) and discuss things such as: is Christian Slater the coolest mall goth ever? Does starring on the Little House on the Prairie automatically make you a prude? Is it common for a popular friend group to have a nerd friend that they all inexplicably love? And why are teens so insane in the 21st century? If you want to know the answer to these pressing, important questions, listen and find out the answer... if you dare!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we confront our childhood fears and discuss films that absolutely terrified us as kids. Are these films actually scary? Not really! But hey, who could possibly understand how the mind of a child works (especially children as fucked up as the two of us were!). Why are dolls so scary? Is the use of voodoo in the Child’s Play series problematic? Why were they trying so hard to scare children in kid’s movies in the early 2000s? What’s the status of Meghan Trainor’s love life? Listen and find out!
