This week, Shai and Lily dive into the messy state of movie ratings and ask a simple question: Can we trust any of them anymore? From surprisingly great films with disappointing Rotten Tomatoes scores to the growing gap between critics and audiences, they unpack why trusting these rating systems has become harder than ever. Tune in for a fun conversation about our favorite “bad” movies, underrated gems, and the reboots everyone is talking about.

This week we share all the tea from Shai's bat mitzvah (jk it was his daughter's) and spoiler - it was the best weekend ever. We talk playlists, swag, food and how certain traditions will never change. We also go down memory lane and chat about some throwbacks from our bar and bat mitzvah days. We round off the ep with a few movie and TV recs since this is still technically a pop culture podcast. You're definitely invited to listen to this ep.

Becky and Shai are back with a packed watch list. They break down Influenced (in theaters now!), Jill Kargman's sharp satirical take on influencer culture — and yes, the sibs have a little skin in this one as co-exec producers. They also get into Devil Wears Prada 2, whether it lives up to the legacy, and why we always want more Emily Blunt. Plus: Dark Wizard the Dean Potter documentary, a tragic and riveting portrait of a BASE jumper living at the edge of everything.

This week the sibs talk about some upcoming movies and react to the trailers. We kick off the ep with Hugh Jackman’s latest thriller (or is it?) - Sheep Detectives - and can’t help going on a “Huge” tangent. We then discuss the controversial (for very different reasons reasons) trailers for Michael and Practical Magic 2. We close out the ep with some “Buy, Rent Meh” Trailer edition.

They dig into  Samara Weaving's outstanding leadership on set, the costume designer who hand-made multiple progressively destroyed wedding dresses, and the bond between cast members.

Writer/director Danny Madden joins stars and co-writers Daniel Rashid, Addie Weyrich, and Arkira Chantaratananond to talk Downbeat, a "broke-wave" film about a lost soul that turns to bucket drumming and his younger sister to heal and find connection. The team digs into their collective improv that built the film's story, the central tension between pursuing art and commercializing it, and how Addie and Daniel's sibling-like bond on set unlocked one of the most heartbreaking and organic fight scenes of the festival. Plus: a cast that's almost 100% musicians, why every note of bucket drumming was recorded live, and what it means to fight for your sibling bonds and be the one who breaks the cycle of dysfunction.

Director Lee Lawson joins the sibs to talk Man Eating P, the horror film she accidentally made while trying to make something gentle. Lee breaks down the conceptual heart of the film — the relationship between sex, death, and birth — and how the warmth of the cinematography holds the maternal feeling that carries it all together. They dig into casting icon Julien Richings, perfectly timed secretions, and animatronic anatomy.

***SXSW AUDIENCE AWARD WINNER*** Director Hannah Shealy and co-director/producer Celine Sutter talk Birth Is for..., a smart, funny, and impactful pilot that left everyone wanting a whole lot more. Hannah drew from her real experience as a birth doula to write something authentic to the work she was doing and dispel stereotypes. They dig into how the show will open minds, the "moan dance," and the scene where a laboring woman says she misses her mom that had the whole room feeling something.

Director-writer-star Aisha Evelyna joins co-stars Ruth Goodwin, Joseph Marcell, and Brett Donahue to talk Seahorse, a film about community, failure, and redemption. They dig into the compassionate space Aisha holds for flawed men, the thread between perfect children and the complicated adults they become, and why a doctor using all the right words can still be a complete jerk. Plus: Joseph's quietly devastating portrayal of Cyrus, the chemistry Ruth and Aisha share rooted in their longtime friendship, and how the haters gave Aisha the fire to prove them wrong.

Director Mekhai Lee joins the sibs to talk Them That's Not, a short film about Drea, a queer hard-of-hearing woman navigating grief, family, and the feeling of being an outsider in your own home. Mekhai opens up about losing his grandmother the same day he got the grant opportunity that sparked the film — and how he chose to transmute that grief into art. They dig into the extraordinary collaboration with star Angel Theory, the Oscar-worthy sound design from Candace Mortier, and why sign language demanded a whole new visual grammar from cinematographer Sade Ndya and editor CJ Duncan.

Directors Sonja O'Hara and Adam Hoelzel join the sibs to talk about their feature, Snare, the psychedelic queer sexual thriller that started as a proof of concept and ended up at Tribeca's Creator Labs. They dig into the practical effects philosophy inspired by Pan's Labyrinth, how an intimacy coordinator transformed vulnerable scenes into a choreographed dance, and the scrappy reverse-engineering approach that got the film made. Plus: a very important debate about which Muppet should play RoboCop.

Micaela Wittman joins the sibs to talk Clairevoyant, the indie film that started it all for her. Micaela breaks down Claire, a well-meaning, slightly privileged, deeply flawed woman who keeps getting taken advantage of by the corrupt spiritual world around her (neutral color palettes bring you closer to god, apparently). They get into Earl's hilariously detached off-camera energy, 12 hours of improv, and why the film earns its compassion for a character. Plus, Micaela reflects on her character in the SXSW premiering Perfect — the grounded, no-nonsense counterweight to Kai (Ashley Moore)'s beautiful chaos.
