    The True Story That Inspired Kate Winslet’s Role in 'The Holiday'
    Dec 22 2025
    This week on Betches Video Club, the Screen Queens are rewatching Nancy Meyers’ 2006 holiday rom-com ‘The Holiday’—and asking the only question that matters: Is this movie actually perfect, or are we just emotionally undone by Jude Law in glasses? From the always picturesque Nancy Meyers’ home swap to Jude Law quietly inventing modern “hot dad” culture, the crew breaks down everything that makes ‘The Holiday’ endlessly rewatchable—and possibly Nancy Meyers’ crowning achievement. Plus, they get into the behind the scenes nitty gritty, including the bizarre way Dustin Hoffman ended up in the movie, the real difference between the ‘female gaze’ and ‘the gay gaze’, and the most important mystery of all—is Christmas fettuccine actually a thing? ‘The Holiday’ is the perfect bow on our 2025. We’ll be back in the new year with more stellar film picks. Until then, Happy Holidays! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Is ‘The Family Stone’ Even A Christmas Movie Or Just Emotional Sabotage?
    Dec 15 2025
    On this week’s episode of Betches Video Club, our Screen Queens dive into the holiday classic The Family Stone. The ensemble is iconic, but the real fight begins when we try to figure out who the actual lead is: Diane Keaton? Rachel McAdams? The egg strata? Meanwhile, as Sarah Jessica Parker gets thrown into a gauntlet of in-law chaos, and we’re left to wonder… is Meredith even likable, or is that just the holiday delusion talking? And sure, the movie opens like a cozy Christmas card, but does The Family Stone actually count as a Christmas movie? Stick around for a surprise White Elephant exchange courtesy of Uber Eats, and tune in next week as we break down The Holiday. #TheFamilyStone #HolidayMovies #ChristmasMovies #FestiveFilm #HolidayClassic #SeasonalMovies #DianeKeaton #RachelMcAdams #SarahJessicaParker #MeredithStone #EnsembleCast Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The 'Wicked: For Good' Deleted Scene That Explains Everything

    The 'Wicked: For Good' Deleted Scene That Explains Everything
    Dec 8 2025
    The Screen Queens are skipping down the Yellow Brick Road and wondering — was 'Wicked: For Good'… actually bad? Jack is going full Elphaba and serving some serious critique on why some relationships feel super off, the plot beats make zero sense, and all the music fails. Bryan and Jack take a deep dive into the CGI – was it secretly brilliant or quietly unhinged? Plus, they obsess over the trifecta of hotness (Fiyero, Boq, and the Wizard) and debate whether Michelle Yeoh was the right choice for the role. And of course, they can’t resist speculating on Oscar chances for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande – will this be Ari’s first ever win?? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Is ‘Love Actually’ Hugh Grant’s Douchiest Role?
    Dec 1 2025
    In this festive episode of Betches Video Club, the Scream Queens sit down to unwrap one of the most iconic holiday movies of all time, ‘Love Actually.’ From Hugh Grant’s dance routine to Emma Thompson’s devastating Joni Mitchell moment, the crew breaks down every questionable power dynamic and messy detail that doesn’t stop anyone from rewatching every 👏single 👏year. Even though the Screen Queens have deep nostalgia for this movie (with a gay awakening or two along the way) the constant body-shaming jokes get a little exhausting, but it was 2003. They unpack behind-the-scenes details like Olivia Olson having to sing “worse” because she was too good and the film’s infamous posterboard scene with Keira Knightley’s hat allegedly hiding a giant zit. The Screen Queens share their own first “I love you” stories and debate whether the holiday season is the best or cruelest time to break up with someone. Finally, the crew answers the ultimate question: Is ‘Love Actually’ messy or perfect because it’s so messy? Join us next week as we pre-game the holidays with the much anticipated ‘Wicked: For Good’! Did we lose our minds? Stay tuned to find out! 00:00 Intro 1:11 Saying ‘I love you’ for the 1st Time 5:10 ‘Love Actually’ Recap 6:17 The Weird Body-Shaming 6:50 That Joni Mitchell Moment 8:17 Why so many storylines? 11:00 Give Olivia Olson an Xmas Album 12:50 Hugh Grant’s douchiest role? 15:00 Romance during the Holidays? 17:40 All the Problematic & Messy Moments 20:50 The Best Side Characters in ‘Love Actually’ 23:00 Quote Corner 24:20 The Kiera Knightley Posterboard Scene 26:57 ‘Love Actually’ 2? 28:04 Outro #LoveActually #HolidayMovies #HolidaySeason #VideoClub #MovieNostalgia #Rewatch #ChristmasMovie Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Is ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ A Spiritual Journey or a Midlife Crisis? ft. Paul Mescal & Jessie Buckley Exclusive

    Is ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ A Spiritual Journey or a Midlife Crisis? ft. Paul Mescal & Jessie Buckley Exclusive
    Nov 24 2025
    Stick around for exclusive interview with Paul Mescal & Jessie Buckley! On this week’s episode of Betches Video Club, Maddie kicks things off with a little interpersonal travel drama (what’s a vacation without some turbulence, right?) before the Screen Queens dive into the Julia Roberts classic ‘Eat Pray Love’. Between bites of hot pasta and even hotter men, the hosts break down the eternal debate: is this a movie about self-discovery… or self-importance? Despite vividly remembering a threesome (checks notes) that never actually happened, the crew agrees on one universal truth: this film is really about eating without abandon and buying the jeans to match your lifestyle—not the other way around. Plus, Maddie brings us along as she chats with Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal about their new masterpiece ‘Hamnet’—a film that might genuinely deserve an Oscar for “Best Hawk Handling.” Join us next week as we officially enter the holiday era with everyone’s favorite… or least favorite… ensemble Christmas movie.

    All The Biblical References You Missed In ‘The Menu’
    Nov 17 2025
    “Yes, Chef!” This week, the Screen Queens serve up ‘The Menu’—the ultimate “psycho thriller” satire blending food, ego, and cultish fine dining. The crew shares their own restaurant trauma while debating whether fine dining is high art or just overpriced torture.Bryan stuns everyone with his jaw-dropping answer to how much he’d pay for the “perfect meal,” and the crew explains why everyone should be required to work in the service industry at least once. Then, they take a behind-the-scenes look at the director’s surprising improv style and reveal what made the set unexpectedly fun rather than terrifying. Along the way, they uncover hidden biblical references you probably missed and explain why the entire film radiates pure cult energy. Next week we are heading to Italy to ‘Eat, Pray, Love,’ - but mostly just two out of three. 00:00 Intro 01:20 Our Restaurant Trauma! 07:18 On Set of ‘The Menu’ 10:31 Hidden Biblical References 12:38 Should They Adapt ‘The Menu’ for The Stage? 14:14 Fine Dining Is Overrated! 17:04 How Much Would You Pay for A Perfect Meal? 22:21 Classic Cult Behavior 23:57 Our Theories! #TheMenuMovie #PsychoThrillerMovies #MovieClubPodcast #ScreenQueensReview #FineDiningMovies #CultEnergyFilm #BehindTheScenesMovie #ImprovDirectingStyle #HiddenBiblicalReferences #MovieDiscussionPodcast #PerfectMealDebate #ServiceIndustryLessons #FilmAnalysis Learn more about your ad choices.
