Explicit content warning

01/13/21 • 72 min

Isn’t it delightful when you meet your soulmate? And isn’t it just rude when they refuse to leave their significant other for you? In THE PERFECT STALKER (2016), starring Danielle Savre, Jefferson Brown, and Krista Morin, we meet a woman who is so determined to win over her unavailable crush that she hatches a brilliant plan involving an imaginary stalker, some phony answering machine messages, and just a little bit of murder. We also discuss which Lifetime characters we’d like to bang, invent a new interrogation tactic that combines waterboarding with motorboating, and receive a Billy update.
This episode is dedicated to the eternal memory of Rachel’s purrfect cat Pierce, the John Wayne of cats.
This movie is available to view on the Lifetime Movie Club app.
January is National Stalking awareness month, so every movie we review during this time will be centered around stalking. Films and television often exhibit this topic in a ridiculous or glamorized way, when in reality it is a frightening, invasive, and sometimes even deadly offense that is often dismissed or ignored completely. If you or anyone you know is a victim of stalking, there are resources available.

In observance of National Stalking Awareness month, every film we discuss in January will be centered around stalking. Millions of women and men are stalked every year, and it’s too frequently misunderstood, dismissed, or ignored completely.

Angels' Share - A Tribute to Pierce

In the wine making process, there is always a small amount of liquid that evaporates from the barrel during the aging stage. This is called the "angels’ share", because it disappears into the sky. Every once in a while, we like to bring you a bite-sized sampling of content that would have otherwise been lost to editing, or that is so significant that its value cannot be overstated. Today’s Angel’s Share offering happens to be both. It is carved from our latest episode (#52 – THE PERFECT STALKER), in which we say goodbye to Rachel’s illustrious cat Pierce. Rachel tells us how he came into her life nearly two decades ago, as well as some of her favorite stories from his kittenhood that can only be heard in this outtake. Raise your glass to Pierce, one of the best felines ever born!
