We are two siblings who grew up watching movies together. These days we have quite different movie tastes, although we also have a collection of movies that we both absolutely love. Over time we realised that maybe 90% of what we talk about when we get together is movies, so we decided to start recording our conversations. Every week we sit down and talk about movies that we love and movies that we're seeing for the first time. Join us!Check out our Instagram page for updates and other fun stuff@justtalkingaboutmovies
This week, our sister Astrid joins us again as we talk about a lighthearted Christmas comedy, "Unaccompanied Minors"🎄✈️🎅✨ This movie is special and nostalgic for us and one of Astrid's favourite movies. In this episode we discuss how 2006 was an iconic year for movies and why this is one of the Christmas classics that we will watch every year✨ Astrid talks about how much she loves the character Charlie Goldfinch played by the great Tyler James Williams, and how his quotes from this movie have become iconic. Meanwhile Lovisa talks about why she loves being at the airport and why having a Christmas movie set there makes a lot of sense to her. In addition, Gustav mentions the number of big comedic actors that were in this movie and how he likes this movie even though it might be a silly, clichéd Christmas movie aimed at a younger audience.

Just Talking About How the Grinch Stole Christmas
This week we watched the 2000 Jim Carrey classic The Grinch for what feels like the first time✨🎄🎅 We discuss the bizarre and almost “too real” take on Jim Carrey’s costume, his intense and iconic way of acting, and how much we loved the narration by Anthony Hopkins and most of all the character of Cindy Lou💕 Lovisa talks about how much she loved the costume designs for all of the Whos, particularly one scene where Cindy Lou wears a hat that is also a cup of eggnog✨ Meanwhile Gustav talks about how this movie felt a bit like a fever dream to him, the dangers of childhood bullies achieving high positions of power in later life, and which characters in this movie we ultimately think are garbage.
