This week, everything hits different as we travel from Missouri to FLORIDA for the 2024 remake-in-name-only of Road House. Jess can’t seem to shake it off how she feels about Jake Gyllenhaal’s face, but thankfully Jaleh can tolerate it. Plus, we’re not sorry about the Hart of Dixie references we make, and we are in …

We are absolutely crazy for Swayze as we leap off the flaming roof and back in time to 1989’s “cult” classic Road House. OG Dear Hearts will know this one lives near and dear to our Bluebellian hearts, and it was an experience from its 80s start to its I-brought-a-bear-to-a-gun-fight finish. To quote our favorite …

Hello, People of Dear Hearts! This week, perhaps we’ll find the answer to the question Why Did This Get Made? while discussing 2010’s Let Me In, the American remake of Let The Right One In. We dive into the obvious-ness of it all while creating the phrase trickle-down bullyism and mentioning Richard Jenkins by full …

We’re deep in Hoa-Hoa-Hoa season (iykyk), and we couldn’t let it pass without leaping from overpasses into the Swedish vampire film Let The Right One In. We brought our resident horror expert Jamie back for this couplet, so you know it’ll be a great dive into practical effects, the bleakness of the early 80s, and …

It’s LL’s world and we’re just living in it this week as we base jump into 2006’s Last Holiday starring true royalty Queen Latifah. We get into the Americanness of it all, as is our way, and we definitely don’t go off about late stage capitalism or the healthcare system. We also talk about what …

Journey back to the past (or like 30 miles outside of London) with us as we discuss 1950’s Last Holiday, starring a once and future Jedi Knight. This is a morbid one, so you know Jess is excited for all the comas… and then death. We go into why this is the original White Lotus, …

Same red, white, and blue Minis, but different country! This week, we’re back in the US to rant and rave about the 2003 very light remake of The Italian Job, a film near and dear to Jaleh’s heart. We get nostalgic about DVD rental shops, Napster, and the summer blockbuster while our heist team heists …

Allo, guvnahs! We’re across the pond to drive our Minis through the British cult classic, 1969’s The Italian Job (not to be confused with The Italian Jobby). We talk cinematography, Quincy Jones, the eternal oldness of Michael Caine, and occasionally we use a terrible accent to do so. Hang on a minute, dear hearts. We …

Hop on the QE2 with us, dear hearts, as we sail back in time to 1998 to share our love for the remake of The Parent Trap. We go into the who’s, the where’s and the how’s of remaking the original, all while deciding if this SHOULD have been remade (spoiler: heck yeah). Put on …

As if this remake season would start with any other film but the classic The Parent Trap from 1961. We finally pay attention to the plot from a critical lens, and boy, does EVERYone here need therapy! We talk accents, hair cuts, practical effects, earworm songs written by two brothers who could only write bangers, …
