    The Apartment

    The Apartment

    Elevator going up 🛗 to the 27th floor!

    Returning Film to Table guest, Buddy Boy joins flu patient Michelle & Laura for this melancholy BONUS release.

    We’re crying while laughing about Billy Wilder's 1960 film, The Apartment: why Shirley Shirley MacLaine deserves all the awards, the emptiness of office culture, and an office outing at The Rickshaw.

    Start the New Year with us and a daiquiri, champagne, or a dirty martini (or all three!)

    The Holiday

    The Holiday

    All we want for Christmas is a cozy English-side cottage or a mansion in Los Angeles… is that too much to ask?

    In this episode we are ridding ourselves of heartbreak and taking a trip to both places.

    Listen to our next "Bloody Holly"-day release, where we gush over another Christmas classic, The Holiday.

    Elf

    Elf

    The year was 2003, when Laura and friends celebrated her 10th birthday by watching for the first time Elf on the big screen.

    Twenty years and countless rewatches later, we have so much to say about this Christmas film that has become our family’s favorite (smiling is also our favorite).

    Join us and returning special guest, Lisa for a discussion about Elf.

    E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

    E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

    In this episode, we are coming back down to earth but bringing an extraterrestrial with us. ET is wrinkly and cute, kind of like Michelle as a baby. We gush over the adorableness of the film’s sibling dynamics, Spielberg’s experimental camera play, and talk about why frogs deserve better. Grab your bike and Reese’s Pieces. We’re going to Elliot’s house.

    This week Michelle & Laura are taking you on a date to the desert. But don’t worry, you can leave your white dress and high heels at home, just bring a lasso. There will be snakes. There will be hot archeologists. There will be a lot of confusion about the plot line.

    Casablanca x The Notebook

    Casablanca x The Notebook

    In a season dedicated to love, we did not anticipate a plot twist that is the argument that breaks out in this episode.

    In this week’s pairing, we’re chatting (disagreeing) about two films set in the 1940s: The Notebook and Casablanca.

    Join Laura and Michelle as they try to convince one another that one of these two movies deserves all its accolades. Be sure to tell us where you stand. Don’t be a Rick about it.

    When Harry Met Sally x The Worst Person in the World
