    This month the Screen Queens are serving up foodie films, starting with the Disney Pixar comfort classic, ‘Ratatouille.’ The hosts rank how ‘Ratatouille’ stacks up against other Disney Pixar classics, then they discuss if French food is really the best cuisine in the world (hint: butter might be overrated). 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’? From secret rat chefs to five-star meals, we’re unpacking how ‘Ratatouille’ made us all believe anyone can cook (even if it’s definitely a health-code violation).

  • Where Is The Cast Of ‘Halloweentown’ Today?

    Where Is The Cast Of ‘Halloweentown’ Today?
    Oct 19 2025
    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.

    Does 'Scary Movie' Hold Up After 20 Years?
    Oct 5 2025
    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 Wayan's Brothers lore 08:00 Hot Teens Getting Slayed 11:20 All The Tiny Little Bits You Missed 12:14 Important Lesson In Filmmaking From Scary Movie 16:00 Could This Movie Be Made Today? 20:00 Did Scary Movie Age Well? 26:40 Outro #ScaryMovie #HorrorComedy #CultClassic #WayansBrothers #Early2000sMovies #MovieRewatch Learn more about your ad choices.
