The Wedding Singer
Jaleh and Jessica host a podcast. WHOOPADEEDOO! It’s a quote-fest on this week’s episode, because we’re talking about The Wedding Singer, and it’s impossible not to quote along. We get intellectual about millennial 80s nostalgia before we devolve completely in classic Hart Chicks style. Now take off that Van Halen t-shirt, dear hearts, before you …

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
It’s time to cliff-dive into our next couplet: rom-coms with male leads, starting with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a modern classic full of one-liners and Jason Segel’s work of art.

The Baxter
It’s trope talk this week on The Hart Chicks Present as we ask ourselves so many questions about 2005’s The Baxter. While this film is our type on paper, it better get its grafting boots on. However, we’d go geode hunting in Malta with Justin Theroux and Jack Mechanic any day. We’re Doug and you’re …

I Saw the Devil

Save the Green Planet!
This week our hosts watch Save the Green Planet!, and you know if there’s an exclamation point in the title it’s going to be good! One of the lesser-known South Korean horror films to come out of the early 2000’s, this film nonetheless hops genres from goofy comedy, to tense horror, to cop drama to… …

While You Were Sleeping
Get your tokens, dear hearts, because we’re taking the El straight to Chicago for the April Christmas classic, While You Were Sleeping. Eliza Jo is back too, so you know we have lots of opinions about everything: Spaceballs, string cheese, and the dramaturgical impact of voiceover. No, seriously we do. Flip your coat to the …

The Lovebirds
It’s the beginning of an accidental triplet, and we are super duper in love with 2020’s The Lovebirds. It’s a caper, it’s a romance, it’s a comedy, it’s Kumail and Issa giving us the goods from t to b. If you like quotes about Doug and Dad, ideas for Sex & the City podcasts, and …

A Tale of Two Sisters
It was the best of sisters. It was the worst of sisters. This week our hosts watch A Tale of Two Sisters, the film that teaches us if you’re not nice to family members then everyone you love will be crushed by a wardrobe. This continues the investigation into South Korean horror, this time highlighting …
