Everyone's Gay

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

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?

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

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.

“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!

It’s a culinary fever dream about a woman obsessed with mastering the art of cooking “Frenchly” while following in Julia Child’s footsteps, leaving Bryan personally victimized by every single thing Julie does. Jack drops an alarming amount of Julia Child trivia, while the team debates: is this Amy Adams’ most narcissistic character ever? They question whether Julie had the most depressing job imaginable and if Stanley Tucci truly deserves the crown as the gayest straight man alive.

The Screen Queens dive into the artistry that Pixar puts into every. single. one. of their films and why all your favorite Pixar movies might be more connected than you think. Doing a deep dive into nostalgic childhood foods, Bryan confesses his childhood snack that leaves us wondering is that really a ‘snack’?

This week the Screen Queens dive broom-first into the Disney Channel Original Movie ‘Halloweentown,’ aka the movie that made every millennial hope they also had secret powers. The hosts unpack everything from Debbie Reynolds’ iconic performance as Grandma Aggie to the chaotic world of Halloweentown (why was there a ghost in a sauna?). The movie’s comically low budget, campy dialogue, and practical effects gave it charm, but exposed its flaws.  Becoming a witch and living in Halloweentown was a 90s kids’ dream but 25 years later the real world looks a little more appealing. The biggest question on our minds: Was ‘Halloweentown’ actually good, or were we just kids with no taste?  Next week we’re diving into the final movie in our spooktastic lineup ‘Practical Magic.’  Watch along and let us know which Owens family member you relate to the most.

Finally, they ask the age-old question: why did they say “virgin” so many times in a Disney movie? Join them next week as they hop onto the magical bus and head to ‘Halloweentown’ (1998) with Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie! #hocuspocus #betchesvideoclub #spookyseason #halloweenmovies #sandersonsisters #cultclassic #disney #bettemidler #moviepodcast #popculture Learn more about your ad choices.

The Screen Queens are lit-erally screaming as they kick off spooky season with the ultimate horror-comedy cult classic: Scary Movie. In this episode, they’re breaking down the cultural role of parody, debating how far is too far, and why the “gay villain” trope needs to finally retire. Jack admits he has no clue who one of the film’s biggest stars is (and that he has basically no pop culture knowledge pre-2005). They explore why the Wayans Brothers sat out the sequels, if modern viewers would get the jokes, and whether Scary Movie 6 can live up to the original madness. But the biggest question on their minds-did this movie age well, or is it gloriously frozen in early-2000s absurdity? Next week, they’re hitching their broomsticks with a re-watch of Hocus Pocus! Watch along and let us know which Sander’s sister you’re channeling this year! At the end of October, they’ll close out Spooky Season by casting their votes for the ultimate Halloween movie of all time. 00:00 Intro 01:25 Our Irrational Fears 03:31 W
