#108: GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIVE (2021) REVIEW AIRDATE: March 27, 2024 The Ghostbusters are back! The newest release, Frozen Empire, is currently in the theaters. So, we're tackling the 2021 movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife that fans raved was the sequel they asked for. Considering the 2016 female led film was regarded negatively, we wanted to see what set Afterlife apart from the other attempt to relaunch the franchise. ***SPOILER WARNING*** __ __
EPISODE #107: A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN S1 (2022) RE-AIR AIRDATE: March 13, 2024 ORIGINAL AIRDATE: September 7, 2022 Tubi announced a Wynonna Earp movie. Warrior Nun has been saved as a movie trilogy. We wanted to shine a light on another show that was renewed, but then Amazon dropped it without a second thought. We covered A League of Their Own in 2022. The series has become a cult hit and showcased diverse representation. Because of this, we felt it would be a good time to re-air that recording. ***SPOILER WARNING*** __ __
EPISODE #106: HALO BEARER UK CONVENTION RECAP AIRDATE: March 3, 2024 HaloBearerUK, the first Warrior Nun specific convention, took place in February 2024. As the moderators, we held panels, ran trivia games and much, much more. Above all, it was one heck of an experience. So, here's a recap with our Top 5 Panel Moments & Top 5 Convention Moments. ***SPOILER WARNING*** __ __
EPISODE #105: MADAME WEB (2024) AIRDATE: FEBRUARY 28, 2024 Madame Web had the potential to connect all the spider-verse movies together. It could have used the name talent and propel forward a well thought out story. While some feel the film is horrific, we disagree. The web set up was perfectly symmetrical in its beauty... and Sony smashed it. ***SPOILER WARNING*** __ __
EPISODE 104: ARGYLLE (2024) REVIEW AIRDATE: February 14, 2024 Argylle, a handsome James Bond-esque spy, is a fictional character in Elly Conway's novels of the same name. Right? Dallas Bryce Howard, as Elly, leads the audience on a ride with twists, turns & cat flying stunts - all to find the truth. But are the answers something everyone will accept? We saw the film opening weekend, but will we see eye to eye on our rating? The answer might surprise you. ***SPOILER WARNING*** __ __
#103. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1992) REVIEW AIRDATE: January 31, 2024 Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a cult classic television show that broke barriers and laid the groundwork for many other projects. But it started with a campy film in 1992. In this Nostalgia vs Novelty episode, Sheila gets to see the film Kimberly has referenced repeatedly throughout their relationship. **SPOILER WARNING**
#102. WARRIOR NUN (S2 - 2022) REVIEW: RE-AIR AIRDATE: January 17, 2024 ORIGINAL AIRDATE: January 11, 2023 Warrior Nun returns to answer several questions from the season one cliffhanger. Shorter by two episodes, does the second season pick up right where the previous one left off? Has the order survived the onslaught? We delve into these questions and the darker side of streaming... cancellations with no transparency. **SPOILER WARNING** __ __
#101. WARRIOR NUN S1 (2020) REVIEW: RE-AIR AIRDATE: January 3, 2024 ORIGINAL AIRDATE: February 24, 2021 The Netflix series, Warrior Nun, tells of a Halo Bearer and the secret order working in the shadows to prevent hell from walking on Earth. What happens when they choose a new bearer... and she doesn't even know it? **SPOILER WARNING** __ __
#100. LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND (2023) REVIEW AIRDATE: December 20, 2023 Leave the World Behind has an A-list cast, help from the Obamas & amazing source material in the original novel. An apocalyptic thriller that leaves heavily into the emotional and psychological rather than violent uprisings, the film should be a must see. But at 2 hours and 21 minutes, maybe the animals were right. There's something bad on the horizon when you click play. **SPOILER WARNING** FOLLOW FOREVER FANGIRLS: https://linktr.ee/ForeverFanPod OUR SPONSOR: KINDNESS UNTAMED: https://kindnessuntamed.com/
#099. THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES (2023) REVIEW AIRDATE: December 6, 2023 The Hunger Games original trilogy gave fans Katniss Everdeen as a powerful heroine against a formidable villain, President Snow. Lionsgate has given us a prequel, to give the evil man his backstory. Snow always falls on top, but don't worry - we have a snowblower. **SPOILER WARNING** __ __ FOLLOW FOREVER FANGIRLS: https://linktr.ee/ForeverFanPod OUR SPONSOR: KINDNESS UNTAMED: https://kindnessuntamed.com/
#09. THE MARVELS (2023) REVIEW AIRDATE: November 22, 2023 Higher. Further. Faster. Flerkens? The Marvels, the highly anticipated sequel to 2019's blockbuster Captain Marvel, finally graced movie screens in November 2023. This time Carol Danvers has help from Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan. Can this trio stop Dar-Benn from destroying the universe, or should this film become a memory? **SPOILER WARNING** __ __ FOLLOW FOREVER FANGIRLS: https://linktr.ee/ForeverFanPod OUR SPONSOR: Kindness Untamed: https://kindnessuntamed.com/

In another Nostalgia -vs- Novelty episode, our hosts discuss how viewing the ghost with the most for the first time compared to seeing it after many years.

#093. ELEMENTAL (2023) REVIEW Airdate: September 6, 2023 Elemental's trailer states "elements don't mix." But the film shows that air, water and earth blend just fine. Why is fire on the outskirts looking in? Does the film have a classic Pixar/Disney moral to the story that lands or falls flat? Forever Fangirls saw the film in theaters, but it launches on Disney+ September 2023. **SPOILER WARNING** https://www.foreverfangirls.com/093-Elemental-Review https://www.foreverfangirls.com/093-Elemental-Review FOLLOW FOREVER FANGIRLS: https://linktr.ee/ForeverFanPod OUR SPONSOR: Kindness Untamed: https://kindnessuntamed.com/

#091. HAUNTED MANSION (2023) REVIEW Airdate: June 28, 2023 Haunted Mansion comes to the big screen... again. Does it scare up enough nostalgia from the parks and a story that made it worth seeing? July seemed like an odd release date, as we expected something closer to Halloween.

#088. GOONIES (1985) NOSTALGIA -VS- NOVELTY Airdate: July 12, 2023 The Goonies (1985) gave us one of the most iconic line of the decade "Goonies Never Say Die."
