Professional fangirls, Natalie Burris and Maren Ziobrowski, freak out over their favorite TV & pop culture moments from yesterday and today!
Fangirl Fridays is back ... kind of? Maybe? Natalie and Maren check in with each other, discuss what they're watching and how they're coping, and fangirl over a ceramic walnut.
***
Fangirl Fridays, now sponsored by Target - apparently. The ladies chat eye creams, toothpaste, toilet paper and more in this week's mini. Plus, mix in Onward, Little Women, and Toy Story 4. Stay tuned for our next topic!
***
In the final episode of the series, the ladies discuss Breakin' v. Breakin' 2. Was there too much dance? What's the best street dance name? Was Ice-T's performance "wack?" Natalie and Maren BREAKdown these two cult classics. And this week in fangirling: An '80s Movie Hits Spotfiy playlist, Breeders and Pamela Adlon.
***
The sugar has KICKED IN and the ladies are ready to dish on dance. Does Fame take itself too seriously? Why isn't Fast Forward a cult classic? Did Leroy only get in to school because Debbie Allen wanted to jump his bones? Natalie and Maren discuss it all and actually rank the movies this time! And this week in fangirling: Kid talent shows and baby dance recitals.
***
The fangirls feel led astray with the notion that Urban Cowboy is a dance movie. Does riding a mechanical bull count as dance? Natalie and Maren pit John Travolta classics - Urban Cowboy and Staying Alive - against each other and ask important questions like: why was Sylvester Stallone SO involved in Staying Alive? How terrible is John Travolta's Brooklyn accent? And honestly, what was going on with "dance movies only" directive of Paramount Pictures in the 80s? And this week in fangirling: The Invisible Man, pirate dinner adventures and moral superiority.
And yes - we forgot to rank them and say which was better! So flustered by the sweatiness and poor quality!
***
The Fangirls get niche as hell in a new series pitting classic '80s dance movies against each other. Can the banging soundtrack of Flashdance carry it to victory over the horny teens of Footloose? Which movie ranks higher on the dancing lady emoji scale? We admit... the scale needs work. And this week in fangirling: High Fidelity and Brockmire Season 3.
***
From the importance of middle school friends to Natalie's ability to edit Maren into a reasonably non-disgusting person, the ladies cover the full gamut in this week's mini. Plus, they fangirl over Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Earth Girls Are Easy and Once Bitten.
***
2000 may not have had many lows, but it wasn't short on whoas! From J.Lo's dress inspiring Google Images to 55 stolen Oscars, the year was full of crazy moments. And this week in fangirling: crazy Super Bowl parties and Shrill season 2.
***
2000 may have been a transitional year, but it didn't have many low points (..Guess that's a good thing!) Natalie and Maren discuss the final Peanuts comic strip, the 2000 election, and the bugaboos with CBS reality television. And this week in fangirling: Fashion moments from Grace and Frankie and A Very Brady Renovation.
***
Holiday hiatus is over and the fangirls are finally ready to accept that the year 2000 was 20 YEARS AGO. To soften the blow of this insane news, Natalie and Maren start this 3-part series by discussing the high moments of the new millennium. Britney! Bring It On! Jewel Girl Barbie? And this week in fangirling: Jojo Rabbit and GameFace.
***
TIME TO BINGE! It's the most wonderful time of the year, and the fangirls have 10 show suggestions to keep you busy over the holidays. And this week in fangirling: Christmas with a small child and a specific scene from Gremlins 2.
(P.S. Please ignore all binge suggestions, and watch The Righteous Gemstones instead.)
***
Do holiday movies have to bring Christmas cheer? Or are festive decorations and music enough? Natalie and Maren watch two *controversial* Christmas films, Gremlins and Die Hard, and decide if they'd make their annual rotation ... and of course, rate them according to the tree scale. And this week in fangirling: Pretzel Pop-Tarts for the win, and Maren revisits her favorite Disney movie.
***
After the hijinks of the Home Alone(s), it's time to bring on the love. Natalie and Maren pit The Holiday vs. Love Actually in a rom-com showdown. Where will each one fall on the tree scale?! And this week in fangirling: Olaf from Frozen, Dollface, and an advance viewing of Little Women!
And sorry about the intro - Natalie and Maren got attacked by some holiday elves!
***
Thanksgiving is over, which means everyone is *officially* allowed to watch holiday movies. Natalie and Maren are kicking off the season with a "Holiday Head to Head" featuring one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time, Home Alone, and the not as celebrated, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. And this week in fangirling: Seasonally appropriate bread and Amazon wasting money on Maisel gifts!
***
In this hodge-podge mini, Natalie and Maren run the gamut. Take CNN's Movies, sprinkle in a dash of Single Parents, mix with Pop Tart's Pretzel flavor, add some Disney and a pinch of murder and it's just your typical Fangirl Fridays! Stay tuned for our next series!
***
The sun has almost set on the Moonlighting series. In the final episode, Natalie and Maren discuss the show's finale, the later careers of Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis and whether or not there should be a reunion. And this week in fangirling: Disney+... because, duh.
***
Was Moonlighting way ahead of its time? Did it pull inspiration from Monty Python? Is it a meme waiting to happen? Yes, yes and yes! Natalie and Maren discuss 5 of the best episodes of the show from the Emmy-winning black and white episode, to the one where David and Maddie finally knock boots. And this week in fangirling: elderly Thriller videos and n/naka.
***
Moonlighting prevailed in the battle of the pilots and the fangirls dig in. From Cybill Shepherd's backstory (Elvis...whoa), to the crazy script-length, to the tension between David and Maddie - Natalie and Maren discuss it all. Plus, murder and Martha Stewart! And this week in fangirling: Souvenir writing and 9-1-1.
***
After a small-to-moderate amount of debate, the fangirls have settled on Moonlighting for their next series. Bring on the love-hate dynamics of Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis! And this week in fangirling: Media and Jennifer Love Hewitt's ability to well on command.
***
The ladies finally bite the bullet and watch Friday Night Lights. Did they love Connie Britton's perfectly executed mid-2000's highlights? Obviously. Were they digging Tim Riggins? Maybe. Were they completely jarred by the Blair Witch meets football aesthetic? HARD YES. Malcolm in the Middle and Dexter round out the pilot picks for the 2000's. Which show will be the ultimate winner? Find out in next week's episode! And this week in fangirling: A chance encounter with Meredith Scott Lynn and the iPic movie-going experience.
