May 04, 2022 13:00 - 56 minutes - 61 MBAn episode planned before the first one was ever recorded, Diana nervously brings her pick Circle of Friends (1995).

Imagine teenage Erin and Diana walking around high school with their tape recorders saying “Note to self…”.

Practical Magic (1998) & Justine Gendron
March 23, 2022 13:00 - 50 minutes - 68.8 MBJustine brings and shares her powers as we talk about her pick Practical Magic (1998).

January 05, 2022 14:00 - 55 minutes - 60.3 MBDiana picked The Hating Game (2021), which has been operating as her most recent comfort watch.

It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and Kevin Lester
December 22, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 120 MBInstead of the moon, Diana lassos long time friend Kevin Lester to talk about It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). Kevin shares that he appreciated how the movie didn’t shy away from the darker elements and the struggle of a character always trying to do right by others. With many re-watches, he finds more to enjoy each time. Diana finally crosses this movie off her to-watch list, but may have to watch again since she saw the colorized version. Bask in the hilarity of The Simpsons and Saturday Ni...
