Matt read this book way, way, waaayyyyyy back in the day (old man jokes!), this this initial film adaptation from 2005 was never one he sought out. He would probably blame this on fantasy just not being his genre, but Jess isn't high on the genre either and she still watched the film when it came out. Either way, he's out of excuses now!

Grab a handful of the most authentic Turkish Delight you can find (turns out that Big Turk bars are not so authentic...) as Matt and Jess discuss allegories, repressive British society, back hair treasure trails, and how big of a badass Tilda Swinton is. They also ask the question all Canadian viewers will have: "Are all British children just immune to the cold?"

Jess isn't new to Martin Scorsese movies, but Goodfellas had eluded her. This is a bit surprising, given how fascinated she is with true stories AND organized crime, but now she fully understands why you should never tell Joe Pesci that he's a funny guy...

We get to talk about unions, fourth wall breaks, the "right way" to do crime, and all the delicious food. You can listen in but just remember: never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

Steel Magnolias was HUGE in 1989 when it came out. Matt was only 7 years old, so he can perhaps be forgiven for not watching it then. His parents may not have approved of him hearing some of Ouiser Boudreaux's colourful language...

There's a lot to talk about with this film! So many wonderful strong female characters, so many head-scratching decisions related to Easter eggs, so many times where the 1980s felt like the 1950s, and Shirley MacLaine...just give us all of the Shirley MacLaine. Get ready to line up for some bleeding armadillo cake!
