Welcome to the weird and wonderful and fantastical world of Terry Gilliam! The sisters delve into their VHS vault and discuss a childhood movie they watched a billion and a half times, 1981's Time Bandits. Starring (among others) John Cleese, Shelley Duvall, Kenny Baker, Craig Warnock, and the late, amazing David Warner
ANNA- has a whole lot to say about this movie is ready for any and all of Katrina's lame attacks. Pathetic attacks, really.
KATRINA- is also ready with some very good, very valid critiques. Also...lame and pathetic, Anna?! Honestly.

Time for the sisters to deep dive into the 1994 movie adapted from the late Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. They'll talk Kirstin Dunst's incredible acting, a very moody Brad Pitt, and a whole lotta homoerotic overtones. Will Anna be able to avoid a push from the big red button? Listen and find out!
KATRINA- takes the PRO and navigates Anna through the murky waters of being a vampire in New Orleeeeeeeeeeans, and reveals one of the sources for the trivia she found-- a book that may or may not actually exist.
ANNA- has attacks that range from garbage to not-garbage, and would very much like to issue a disclaimer for the listeners...
Disclaimer: I swear everyone, I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and when I say this movie is gaaaaaaay, it's not meant as a pejorative or one of my attacks. However, seeing as I was not allowed to compliment during the synopsis, I'm gonna say it was meant solely as an observation.
2nd Disclaimer: My apologies to the Dutch. I'M NOT GOOD AT ACCENTS!

HEY EVERYONE! A FEW EPISODES BACK WE SAID IF ANYONE CONTACTED US THAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY SEEN THE 1982 AUSTRALIAN MUSICAL--THE PIRATE MOVIE, WE WOULD DROP THE EPISODE WE RECORDED COVERING IT, BUT NEVER RELEASED.
WELL...APPARENTLY WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO LOVE THIS MOVIE, SO AS PROMISED, HERE YOU GO. THROWBACK EPISODE FOR A THROWBACK MOVIE!
ENJOY!
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.ANNA- takes the PRO and sends Katrina out to walk the plank.
KATRINA- takes the CON but luckily has plenty of ammo with Christopher Atkins' questionable everything in this movie.
