Friday Night Wine Fight

This week the girls take aim at... Remade Movies
Amy introduced this week's topic by running through a brief history of remade music and movies. Amy then discussed some fun facts about the most remade movies and some epic flops of remade movies.

For something different and because she had to leave midway through recording the episode we let Sarah go first this week.

Sarah chose a couple of songs that she preferred the remake of instead of the originals. Sarah also declared her love for the movie Titanic made in 1997 which is far better than the original or any of the remakes of this movie (there are many). Face it, you cannot beat Dicaprio.

Amy jumped back in at this point in the show to discuss a movie that she believed was better than the original. Amy's pick was the Stepford wives. The original was made in 1975 then remade in 2004. Amy like the remake better because she thought the equality between the genders discussion was better made in the remake.
Bianca finished us off by discussing the movie Freaky Friday and two of its remakes. The original film was made in 1976 and stars then child star Jodie Foster. The first remake Bianca discusses is the remake made in 1995 starring Shelly Long and Gabby Hoffman. The final remake Bianca discusses is the 2003 version starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. In Bianca's opinion, both remakes are better than the original.

This week the girls take aim at... Misconstrued Phrases
In the seventh installment of the FNWF A&B Edition Bianca and Amy look at phrases and the variety of ways in which people can misconstrue them. For example, some people misconstrue a phrase by getting one or more words in the phrase wrong. Others misconstrue phrases by misunderstanding the meaning of the phrase itself.
Amy kicked us off this week introducing the night's topic. She then discussed the origin story of the term basket case. Bianca was so shocked she dropped her monocle!
Bianca then discussed three phrases that actually have meanings we knew nothing about. The second one was close to Bianca's heart as it is a saying used by Bianca's family for generations. It turns out the phrase was said backward however this shouldn't be an issue because they were not using the phrase as a basis for administering medical care to children right?
Amy finished us off by discussing words in popular phrases that people say wrong. The message here is Google phrases you say all the time to make sure you are getting them right otherwise you look like an idiot.

This week the girls take aim at... 90s Movies (again) but this time we're talking Girl Power!
Bianca opened this week's topic and discussed the origins of the term "girl power" and dove into her movie; the 1991 classic - A League of Their Own, starring Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna, and a host of other amazing actors.
Amy then discussed one of all our favs; the 1997 classic - Spiceworld. It's one of those movies that's sooo bad it's good.
Sarah finished up by discussing a movie also from 1991 - Thelma and Louise.
Is there a better representation of sisterhood? Do you think we should have discussed different films? Do you have an opinion you want to share with us?

This week the girls take aim at... Real Life Robin Hoods
Bianca opened with a shallow dive into whether Robin Hood was real or not... turns out no one really knows.

After that, she cracked into her real life, Robin Hood - Jacques René Mesrine. He lived an amazing life and petitioned for better conditions in the french prison systems.

Amy got to be the meat in the sandwich this week and regaled us all with the tale of Nakamura Jirokichi or better known as Nezumi Kozo (aka the Rat Kid). Rat Kid was a Japanese Robin Hood who, as the legend goes, stole from wealthy Samurai and gave to the poor. How much of this is true is questionable but it makes a great story.
Sarah finished us off with the story of Bulla Felix who could have been the first Robin Hood in history he was an ancient Roman!
