THANK GOD IT’S FRIDA — wait, Saturday?

It’s Episode Two of Season Two of A Couple of Old Fashioneds: Becca and Joe’s Double Feature Date Night at the Movies!

On this second episode of our second season, the Theme is, quite literally this time, “Hangover Cure”, and the movies are:

SCHOOL OF ROCK & SHAUN OF THE DEAD!

Join Becca and Joe in this special episode of the show - not during their booze-soaked Date Night, but on the day after. That’s right, it’s...Saturday! And Becca and Joe are…not feeling their best. Just as movies are the best accompaniment to cocktails and conversations, they are also often the only real salve to broken brains and crushed souls.

Will these two movie picks really cure a hangover? Whose comfort film features a hungover guy teaching precocious kids how to rock and whose features a hungover guy teaching hungry zombies how to roll? And will their close release dates help or hinder? Watch the episode to find out if you guessed right, and stay tuned to the end to find out what the theme will be next week!

Don’t forget now the show is its own broadcast to subscribe to its YouTube and Podcast channels and stay up to date on latest episodes! Follow it on Instagram and Letterboxd to follow the complete movie lists and let Becca and Joe know whether you agree with their picks, and what you would’ve chosen yourself.

After all, the greatest gift a movie lover can give another is a great title they have yet to discover. That’s what movies are all about - they’re the only kind of marathon worth participating in and they’re what Date Nights are made for.

So settle in, grab your favorite old fashioned drink with your favorite old fashioned person (if that’s the pleasure of your own company then we completely feel you), and revel in a couple old fashioned conversations with Becca and Joe. They are, let’s face it, a pretty old fashioned kind of couple themselves.

Welcome to SEASON TWO of A Couple of Old Fashioneds: Becca and Joe’s Double Feature Date Night at the Movies!

On this inaugural episode of our grand return to your eyeballs and earholes, the Theme is, for self-evident reasons, “Making a Comeback”, and the movies are:

THE NATURAL & REVENGE!

Join Becca and Joe as they once again discuss their different interpretations of what it means to Make a Comeback and the nature of Comeback Movies. Will a 1980s baseball drama and a 2010s body horror make for a delightful flavor combination or leave a sour taste? And who picked which? Watch the episode to find out if you guessed right, and stay tuned to the end to find out what the theme will be next week!

THANK GOD IT’S…FRIDAAAAAY!

(Hope we’re saying that altogether by now!)

Welcome to Becca and Joe’s Fifth and Final Double Feature Date Night at the Movies!

This week on Episode 5 of "A Couple of Old Fashioneds" the Theme is "Two for the Road", and the movies are:

FACES PLACES & DIRTY MARY, CRAZY LARRY!

Have one for the road with Becca and Joe as they discuss their movie selections for Two for the Road! Who picked a 21st century, sight-seeing French documentary and who picked a 20th century, car-chasing American thriller? And how did both steer them towards musings on life, death, and how to make the most of the moments in between? (We promise, it wasn’t just the bourbon talking…alright maybe a little.)

Find out what Joe and Becca thought of the other’s interpretation of the Theme, whether they made for a great pairing or a terrible one, whether Joe dressed up in character costumes this time or left Becca hanging once again, and whether or not their marriage is still intact…just kidding, movies can only ever bring people together! That’s what movies are all about - they’re the only kind of marathon worth participating in and they’re what Date Nights are made for.

A huge thank you to everyone who has bought episodes, commented, and been an integral part of the evolution of this crazy experiment side show. Your contributions have been invaluable! And if we may be so bold as to ask for one more, we would love to send out a questionnaire to help us figure out exactly what worked and didn’t work and how we can best take this show forward in its next stage of metamorphosis! Don’t worry, you haven’t seen the last of us yet.

So please keep an eye out for a questionnaire landing in your inbox soon, and in the meantime, enjoy your two for the road! Or three…or four…hey, it’s Friday, hopefully you ain’t driving, and as the French say, Bon Voyage!
