How we've never seen Pretty in Pink before, we don't know. But, rest assured, we have opinions to share on it! Another John Hughes film starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, and James Spader, we see a young woman in a teenage "from across the tracks" rom-com where her own personal values are put to the test.

"Build it, they will come." Billie had no idea that quote came from a movie, let alone a movie about building a baseball field for ghosts. Starring Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta, and Amy Madigan, this fantastical movie is still a family favorite today. However, the sisters are divided this episode, debating (arguing) how much one should suspend beliefs for a story, for one. Listen in as they try to persuade each other to their way of thinking. Spoilers: It's a fun time.www.silve...

It's our 50th episode!! We can hardly believe it ourselves. And we fully intend on doing at least 50 more. More like 500.*** This episode is a bit longer than usual because we spend a little time reflecting on our first 50 episodes and what surprised us the most on our journey. Enjoy!Batman, directed by Tim Burton, was released in 1989 and marks the beginning of the Batmans on the silver screen. (Though the TV show in the 60s is the first appearance on film!) It's iconic score, by Danny Elfma...

What can we say that hasn't already been said? A true classic, starring Carey Elwes, Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, and Billy Crystal, to name a few. So many iconic moments to discuss in a new light and some new ones we've never noticed before. We uncover some of the more surprising details from the making of this movie and discuss what makes this movie a perfect 10/10 for us. www.silverscreensisters.comOr find us everywhere here:https://linktr.ee/silv...

And yes, that's the title of the film, based on a book by William Styron. This wasn't a movie that Sophie picked for us to watch. Just to clarify. :)Directed by Alan J. Pakula, it stars Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Peter MacNicol and could rival even Shakespeare's most tragic of plays. The story centers around the story of a Holocaust survivor, a Polish Catholic woman, and her Jewish American boyfriend. A young writer named Stingo bears witness to their spiral into darkness, even going so f...

With a "Mary Shelley meets Alfred Hitchcock" vibe, this Frankenstein story equal parts grossed us out and impressed us in its grotesqueness. (Sophie shares how many gallons of fake blood were used during Trivia.) Directed by Stuart Gordon, this film stars Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, and David Gale. All amazing! Oh, and Hans Gruber is also in this! For a minute. www.silverscreensisters.comOr find us everywhere here:https://linktr.ee/silverscreensisters

We were overdue for an 80s cult classic. One of those "it's so bad, it's good" movies. But we weren't ready for Toxie. A B movie that inspired an entire franchise (and maybe influenced others).In this episode, we ask, "How?" www.silverscreensisters.comOr find us everywhere here:https://linktr.ee/silverscreensisters

Based on the book by John Updike, this 80s classic stars our main man Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Directed by George Miller, music by John Williams... On paper, this sounds like a great film and most people (we know) remember it fondly. As a first-time viewer, Billie is here to ask the real questions with a fresh perspective."What even was that??"www.silverscreensisters.comOr find us everywhere here:https://linktr.ee/silverscreensisters

A "hypothetical WWIII" movie, we weren't sure what to expect. All we knew was that the cast was phenomenal. Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, and Darren Dalton star as teenagers who escape to the mountains of Colorado and end up defending their hometown. From quintessential Americana to our horrible pronunciations, join us as we dig too deep into the philosophy and psychology of wartime. www.silverscreensisters.comOr find us everywhere here:htt...

"I feel the need, the need for speed!" For real, Sophie has never watched "Top Gun"... until now. Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, Tim Robbins, and Tom Skerritt bring Director Tony Scott's vision to life in a truly iconic way. At first glance, the movie looks like any other bro movie, but we dig into the heart of the movie and why it took the world by storm back in 1986. Don't worry. We'll be doing "Top Gun: Maverick" soon!www.silverscreensisters.comOr find us everywhe...
