Hey!! Who wants to be able to perform complex facial reconstruction surgeries without going to medical school??!! To quote the hot European lady from Super Troopers, "I do, I do!!!". Better yet, what if we said we have an episode about a movie that is so cuckoo bananas it needed not ONE, but TWO action stars? Enter dancing queen himself Sir John Travolta and "nepotism makes me sick but the Godfather is still a classic" Nicolas Cage. Please enjoy our equally cuckoo bananas recap of 1997's Face Off!
ANNA is the pro-and in addition to some kick ass trivia, she also brings sass, tequila, trickery, and a touch more tequila. Will this lethal combination be enough to carve, heh, heh, a button push from Katrina?
KATRINA is the con-and while she feels confident that the pure silliness of this movie in combination with her steadfast resolve to not enjoy Nicolas Cage movies since Leaving Las Vegas should make it easy to avoid a button push, she DOES love dancing, and you know that sly fox Travolta can't help but sneak a booty shake in.

If something is happy the first time, isn't it happier the 2nd time? Us twice married people think so (Katrina, that is), so we thought, "Hey us, why don't we try re-recording an episode that people seem to love, and put that theory to the test?"! Except this time Katrina is the pro, and Anna is the con! Genius! Get ready for the swashbuckling romp that is 1982's The Pirate Movie!
Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins in Australia doing a "modern" take on the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Pirate of Penzance...what exactly is there not to love???
This award-winning film (Nominated for nine Razzies and winner of three) has been described by critics as "unwatchable" and "excruciating" and "literally painful to get through" and is a personal favorite of the Split Happens sisters. If you'd like to see it before you listen to the episode, it's conveniently located exclusively on YouTube.

Is that a dragon in your pocket or..........hey, knock it off! This is a podcast that is only MARGINALLY inappropriate when covering children's movies, and boy do we have a doozy for you! Do you like dragons, and songs, and orphans, but not overly fond of dragons from outer space, or just don't trust Sheb Wooley in general? Same! Look no further than 1977's fire breathing heart warmer Pete's Dragon! And just to be clear before you ask and maybe didn't see the date, this is the orIginal, not the remake, because WE DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!!!
ANNA-is the pro, and as usual she has tons of the 3 t's: trivia, tequila, and talking back. She gets extra salty when defending cherished childhood movies, but movies she loves with Helen Reddy and Mickey Rooney? Everyone better shut up!
KATRINA-is the con, and ordinarily we are real cautious about saying anything negative about "the mouse", but this time.....we still don't touch the name that rhymes with Stickey Clouse. She does has a few other cons up her sleeve, and she made sure to not day drink the day of recording to smugly stand in judgment of one Mr. Rooney. Boom, roasted.
