Merry belated Christmas from the Good Sisters! We watched this Netflix holiday trash so that you don't have to. Good things about this movie: Scotland is pretty, and the secondary characters are very nice. Bad things about this movie: the plot, the continuity, and OMG THE MUSIC, which must be heard to be believed . . . but instead of listening to that, dear listeners, we entreat you to listen instead to this episode, which we promise is more entertaining than the movie itself ..read more

Happy Disney Plus weekend! Please enjoy this review of Shang-Chi from the Good Sisters. Brianna would be grateful if Xialing stepped on her face and suffocated her! Marissa wants Xialing to go live with her Auntie Nan! Neither sister really gets what she wants here, but they both really liked the film. N.B. this episode was recorded in late September. Sorry for the ridiculous delay; grad school got on top of the Older Good Sister ..read more

Chomp chomp goes Alioth on He Who Remains variants, and chomp chomp goes the Disney Content Machine on the budding themes and philosophy of Loki (the series, not the character). We were all geared up for an ending that would bring some closure to the ideas the season had been building up to, but instead we got a promise of a second season and an implicit reminder to go see Phase 4 MCU movies. Ah well. We hope you Good Listeners are ready for some more yelling about How Timelines Work!! Here is the episode of Extra Hot Great that is "quoted" about midway through this episode: https://www.extrah ..read more

On the eve of the finale, here is your penultimate Loki episode recap and discussion! From the Yakety Sax-esque multi-Loki pileup in the disused bowling alley to the Dashboard Confessional-style dual-Loki snugglefest, we have tabs on every Loki, especially Croki.

"How are they gonna get out of this one? . . . Ohhhhh. Oh no." Things get VERY real in this episode of Loki, entitled "The Nexus Event." I guess we're up a CrocoLoki and down a jetskiier. Sigh. Jared, could you turn that rain machine down a click, PLEASE ..read more

This week, we learn a shocking secret about the TVA (we're sure there are many more to come), and it leads to a consensus among the Good Sisters that you can't just merk brainwashed soldiers. It's uncool, Sylvie. But what IS cool is the camaraderie between Loki and Sylvie as they scramble to survive the Worst Apocalypse Ever. When she podcasts, she podcasts at home ..read more

The action is nonstop in the second installment of Disney+'s Loki series. There's a lot of jibber-jabber about time travel and how it works (or doesn't work) and a lot of unanswered questions about what "our" Loki wants. Also a bit of needling the audience about climate change, which the Good Sisters certainly believe in but do not wish to have to think about in this moment, please and thank you ..read more

We're baaaaaaaack! Pandemics suck, y'all! How is everyone?? Vaccinated??? Anyway, we're watching the Disney+ limited series "Loki," because we are burdened with glorious purpose. Brianna is tickled by Owen Wilson's accent, while Marissa thinks that trickster gods should be stealing genitalia, not enacting fascism. Join us back in the MCU ..read more

This 2018 Netflix movie about overachieving high school debaters is an interesting window into the world of debate and also a frustratingly architected movie. (What is the theme? Can anyone tell us??) But for the Good Sisters, it's just an excuse to tell more stories of their lives in high school. Come for Marissa's FLAWLESS French accent; stay for Brianna's rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "America ..read more

"Work It": A Netflix original movie about college admissions that really doesn't seem to understand college admissions in the slightest! The Good Sisters have extremely strong memories of the college admissions process, thankyouverymuch, and will be happy to expound on everything that "Work It" gets wrong. Also, can the power of love heal a bad ACL? And what even is an ACL?? Hey, at least the dancing is fun ..read more
