This week Elise and Jenny rewatch the children's classic, "Goodfellas." Considered the training wheels of the gangster movie community - "Goodfellas" combines the gratuitous violence of a slasher film with the blind rage of an ageless Joe Pesci (he's 15 if he's a day over 45.) Add in a killer soundtrack (if it's good enough for the weather channel …

First of all - yes, it's been a while. But second of all (is that a saying...i'm going with it) a lot has happened!

Let's join hands and return to a simpler time - full of romance and competitive high school skiing - when having …

Happy Friday the 13th! We thought we would break our silence to say, there will be more silence. But fear not, unlike in horror movies, we will indeed be right back. Before we take pre-election break we decided to talk about Elise's favorite holiday: Halloween. Whip out your vampire teeth and cheap face paint as we dissect the amazing costume choic…

During the Cold War, when our enemies were the USSR and North Korea, we had but one hope to keep us safe: naval pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Okay, so we had an entire military, but Maverick was still pretty important. Buckle up ladies and gentlemen, we’re soaring high on sweet ‘80s tunes and shirtless dudes in locker rooms. While the love story …

Join us for another trip down memory lane as we explore Legends of the Hidden Temple - quite possibly Nickelodeon's most culturally inappropriate show and a favorite to all kids who ever dreamed of being a Blue Barracuda, a Silver Snake, or even a Green Monkey (we all know they were the worst).
