Murderous Millinery and Chaotic Couture in Another Simple Favor (2025)

·1 hr 27 min·5 clips

The trailer’s prison-striped look is “Hamburglar meets Chanel,” which the hosts treat as the first big statement outfit.

The show opens by acknowledging a brief hiatus and tying it to the horrible things happening in Los Angeles. Both hosts sound relieved to be back on mic together. They choose Another Simple Favor as the movie of the week. It is framed as something anyone can throw on through Amazon Prime. They treat it like glossy movie junk food. The mood is summer watch, plane watch. Blake Lively becomes a major focus. Anna Kendrick does too. Their characters' relationship gives the discussion its center. The hosts also frame both Simple Favor movies as a throwback noir crime whodunit setup. They are perfectly happy to call the movie ridiculous. That is a compliment here. Once they settle on that, the conversation starts wandering. 40 Days and 40 Nights comes up first.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape brings a more serious memory of being blindsided by a movie on first watch. Cider House Rules and Snow Falling on Cedars follow as examples of the prestige movies that used to just be there to stumble into. The hosts laugh about how different that viewing world was. Near the end they shift back to podcast business. They ask listeners to leave reviews and mention gifts for people who reviewed in October. The close drifts through travel talk about Capri and Naples before the show signs off with its usual affectionate chaos.
