It's Brick's birthday, and he's either Molly Ringwald or Lil Sebastian-- we can't tell. We do know that he LOVES Meatball, and dear hearts, so do we. This week, we also love Lemon's coffee carting, Clora not being the worst, and WADE WITH A BEBO. Gird your loins. Plus, in a moment of Lead Deals synergy, we have Jon Timmons on for one last guest appearance. If you were here, you would believe us.

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.
