This week we’re diving into “Forbidden Fruits” and instead of guessing what the film is trying to say, we went straight to the source. We sat down with co-writer Lily Houghton to talk through the story, what inspired it, and the themes that might not be as obvious on the surface. From how the script evolved to the parts of the film people might interpret differently, this is a deeper look at what’s really going on behind the scenes. If you’ve been curious about “Forbidden Fruits” or feel like there’s more to unpack, this conversation gives you the context you didn’t know you needed. youtube.com/@betchesvideoclub #ForbiddenFruits #FilmInterview #Screenwriting #MoviePodcast #Filmmaking #BehindTheScenes #Screenwriter #FilmIndustry #IndieFilm #CinemaTalk #MovieDiscussion #WritingProcess #UpcomingMovies Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we’re revisiting the movie that is spiritually, fundamentally Betches: ‘Clueless’. Cher Horowitz is the blueprint for every main character who came after her, the fashion is still elite, and the matchmaking confidence? Aspirational. But we also spend a lot of time unpacking the part of this movie that still sparks real debate: the Cher and Josh romance. Is the ex-stepbrother thing overblown, or did the ’90s fully gaslight us? Are we romanticizing something that deserves a little more side-eye? We get into why the discourse won’t die, whether the relationship actually holds up, and why it somehow still works emotionally even when you’re questioning it intellectually. We’re also talking Cher as a low-key genius, why this movie is sharper and smarter than people give it credit for, and how ‘Clueless’ quietly set the standard for every teen rom-com that followed. If you understand Clueless, you understand us. As if we wouldn’t give this movie the deep dive it deserves. #Clueless #CherHorowitz #CherAndJosh #AliciaSilverstone #PaulRudd #AmyHeckerling #90sMovies #TeenMovies #RomCom #CultClassic #RomComPodcast #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #PopCulturePodcast #BetchesVideoClub Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we’re diving into Emerald Fennell’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ and asking the question we kept circling back to: are we supposed to see this as romance… or as pure emotional devastation? We unpack the casting discourse, why the internet had immediate opinions, and how Fennell’s gothic, stylized approach reframes Heathcliff and Cathy’s obsession. Is Heathcliff a tragic romantic hero, or are we collectively gaslighting ourselves? Does this adaptation justify its existence, or are we just addicted to watching toxic love stories play out beautifully? We talk performances, tone, what feels distinctly Fennell about this version, and whether this story still works for modern audiences - or if we’re romanticizing something we probably shouldn’t. youtube.com/@betchesvideoclub #WutheringHeights #WutheringHeights2026 #EmeraldFennell #Heathcliff #CathyEarnshaw #EmilyBronte #BookToFilm #LiteraryAdaptation #GothicRomance #FilmPodcast #MovieDiscussion #CastingControversy #RomanceMovies #ToxicRomance #FilmAnalysis #CinemaTalk #BetchesVideoClub Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

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.

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

Even though the Screen Queens have deep nostalgia for this movie (with a gay awakening or two along the way) the constant body-shaming jokes get a little exhausting, but it was 2003. They unpack behind-the-scenes details like Olivia Olson having to sing “worse” because she was too good and the film’s infamous posterboard scene with Keira Knightley’s hat allegedly hiding a giant zit. The Screen Queens share their own first “I love you” stories and debate whether the holiday season is the best or cruelest time to break up with someone.

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?

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.

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?

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!

This week on Betches Video Club, the Screen Queens dive into the chaotic, emotional, and lowkey delusional world of Americans abroad. The Parent Trap, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, and The Lizzie McGuire Movie shaped how an entire generation of teens thought international travel would go, and *spoiler alert* the bar was set unrealistically high. From dual Lindsay Lohans orchestrating the parent trap across continents to Lizzie McGuire becoming an international pop star by accident, these millennial-core films defined our dreams of romance abroad. Also the way America Ferrara absolutely ate in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, give her an Oscar! The hosts take a nostalgic look at what these movies promised us, from self-discovery to an entirely false sense of what a middle school class trip to Rome might be like. Whether you’ve watched these movies a hundred times or haven’t seen them in two decades, this episode is your ultimate rewatch companion. Expect plenty of laughs and honest reflections about what these films taught us (for better or worse). Find out which Summer blockbuster blew the most minds (and budgets) on our next episode! Want to watch along? We’re forming lots of opinions about Jaws, E.T, and Jurassic Park. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Plus we debate when exactly you earn your New Yorker card and the classic question on whether you're a Carrie, a Miranda, or maybe a Charlotte pretending to be a Samantha. Once and for all we settle the debate on which of Carrie’s men is the hottest. Was it the charming Aidan Shaw, or maybe the mysterious Russian whisking her off to Paris?
