Spilling the Popcorn is your ultimate dose of movie nostalgia, pop culture tangents and hot takes on the clichés in the classics. Join childhood best friends, Jayde and Lisa, as we rewatch the movies that raised us. From makeover montages and side characters who deserved better to problematic heartthrobs and iconic soundtracks, we're unpacking what made these movies unforgettable.
Your favourite duo is back and this week we're discussing Legally Blonde.
Elle Woods is iconic - she dresses head to toe in pink, got into Harvard (what like it's hard?), ditched her bonehead boyfriend, and is comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life.

Bridget Jones's Diary
Throw on your absolutely enormous panties and a reindeer jumper, and grab a glass of wine, a pack of ciggies and a bowl of blue soup because this week we're discussing Bridget Jones's Diary.
In the season 1 finale, Jayde and Lisa take a deep dive on this 2001 Christmas classic, unpacking everything from the naughty leading men and the completely misunderstood Perpetua, to the film's friendship theme and early 00s diet culture.
Bridget may be a verbally incontinent spinster who drinks like a fish, smokes like a chimney, and dresses like her mother, but she's an iconic heroine and we love her - just as she is!

Bring It On
Y'all ready for this? Get your spirit fingers ready because this week, we're talking all things Bring It On.
Jayde and Lisa unpack the Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union classic - from the iconic cheers, to the body shaming and the cultural appropriation. Plus, this isn't a democracy, it's a cheerocracy, and so there's serious debate about whether or not Cliff holds up as crush material.
This episode is sexy, it's cute, it's popular to boot. You might even say it's the poo. So take a big whiff.

Never Been Kissed
Yikes! Bikes! This week we're discussing the problematic 1999 teen rom com, Never Been Kissed.
Jayde and Lisa unpack the iconic fashion moments, the hilarious one-liners, and the very disturbing fact that almost every relationship in this film would be a crime.

She's All That
Grab your hacky sack and your falafel hat - we're going back to 1999 to discuss the ultimate teen rom com, She's All That.
In this week's episode, we get major wiggage over THAT pizza scene and unpack the makeover trope that told us all the nerdy girl has to do to become popular is remove her glasses, cut her hair - and ideally stop tripping over!

10 Things I Hate About You
Welcome to episode one of Spilling the Popcorn! Your new BFFs, Jayde and Lisa, are WHELMED to be discussing 10 Things I Hate About You - one of our ultimate teen faves.
Join us as we unpack this 1999 classic - from Mandella's "involvement" with Shakespeare to Bianca's two-piece prom outfit and the pure perfection that is Heath Ledger.
Spoiler: we don't hate this movie. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. In fact, we love this movie more than Bianca loves her Prada backpack.

Hello and welcome to our new podcast, Spilling the Popcorn!
We're childhood BFFs, Lisa and Jayde, and each week we're rewatching the movies that raised us. We'll share our favourite quotes and soundtrack highlights, and break down which looks served - and which should've served time.
We'll hand out justice for side characters who deserved better and ask the big question: were those heartthrobs actually crush-worthy or just plain creeps?
Plus, we'll take a deep dive and unpack everything from plot holes, outdated tropes and the moments that make us go, yikes!
Expect nostalgia and laughter as we revisit the classics - from the most memorable Mean Girls quotes to the 10 Things I Hate About You soundtrack that had the early 2000s in a chokehold.
Join your new best friends when the podcast launches on November 12th - we can't wait to spill the popcorn with you!
