Erin & Blythe
A teen movie podcast!
Smile, You Love (Christm)Us!
Ho ho ho! It’s our very first holiday episode! Recently visited by three Teen Movie Spirits from their past, present, and futures, Blythe and Erin set out on a journey to find the true meaning of Christmas, and answer the question: do holiday teen movies even exist? Grab a cup of Blythe's beloved bougie eggnog and settle in as we discuss three extra-festive features, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” (1999), “Let It Snow” (2019) and the highly enjoyable Netflix miniseries, “Dash & Lily,” (2020). We also tackle the art of gift-giving and reveal who are 17-year-old selves would most like to meet under the mistletoe. (Remarkably, it's not JTT). Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

We Volunteer as Tribute!
Do you belong in the Dauntless or Erudite? What's your District? Do you have what it takes to be a Runner? Are you confused yet?! Well try being a teen in a dystopian world. In honor of the strangest year of our lives we chose to dissect some darker teen movies, "The Hunger Games" (2012), "Divergent" (2014), and "The Maze Runner" (2014). Heroes will rise, plots will crumble!

Our Favorite Episode
Ever imagine what it would be like as an adult to have to go back to high school? No, it's not a nightmare or something we ever want to do. It's the premise of three hilarious, weird, and charming movies covered on today's episode. We start with Drew Barrymore's "Never Been Kissed" (1999), are completely smitten with Zac Efron in "Seventeen Again" (2009), and bow down to the comedic juggernaut that is Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in "21 Jump Street".  As adults who cover teen movies for fun, just how much of ourselves we saw in these characters is certainly up for debate. Note: Delinquency alert! This episode was recorded in 2019!!!

Good, Bad, Ugly - Girl Gangs
Coming at you from our separate apartments!! We're talking about teen movies taking on "Girl Power". There are some swings and misses in 2006's John Tucker Must Die, inspiring heroines on screen and off with 1999's Strike!, and rough and tumble harnessing of female energy of all ages in Whip It (2009). We are getting the hang of recording from two different mics, so please stick with us while we improve audio in the coming weeks. Thanks to  our friends and family for listening to this hobby of ours, we love you all so much.

Charming Chaos
Bueller? Bueller? Ferris Bueller! Juno McGuff! Ladybird! We're covering three eponymous teens in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Juno (2007), and Ladybird (2017) as they get up to some shenanigans in pursuit of their ultimate teen self expression. They are charming, chaotic, and oh so relatable to anyone who has ever been or known a teenager.

"You'll Always Be My Favorite Ex-Boyfriend" - First Love
Want to lose yourself in teen feelings, grand gestures, and fall in love? This week Erin and Blythe watch and chat "Say Anything" (1989), "The Last Song" (2010), and "The Spectacular Now" (2013). We discuss Lloyd Dobbler's  unfair edit with 2019 audiences, how Miley and Liam were a mess from the start, and why Sutter Keely is an all time great teen movie character. Before you listen, we strongly suggest watching "Say Anything" and "The Spectacular Now" if you are unfamiliar!
