Ladies Get Action

Mission Impossible 3

Is this the rare action movie with a *true* happy ending?!  This week, the Ladies returned to the Impossible Mission Force (IMF) with Mission Impossible: 3, which saw Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt as we’ve never seen him before: considering someone else over his job! Tune in to hear why Philip Seymour Hoffman rises to the top of our list of great action movie villains, the very long list of skills required for a spy resume, and why friends don’t let friends get spontaneously married at their place of work. Bonus tangent: bone broth isn’t a meal, y’all! CW for this episode: disordered eating.

The Tomorrow War

When the Tomorrow Treat doesn't come, it turns into a Tomorrow War! This week the Ladies landed down with The Tomorrow War. We once again stretched our time travel war muscles and watched another hunky hero save the future from crazy aliens. We debate if a marriage can really survive a time traveling child of divorce, roll our eyes at self-important scientists, and ponder period tracking within a global draft!

The Fugitive

OF COURSE everyone believes this wronged man! This week the Ladies watched listener recommendation “The Fugitive,” starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, with plenty of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it roles from big names today. We discuss just how surprisingly action-packed the film gets, detour into the latest Ozempic obsession (*eye roll*), and marvel at how many people are willing to blatantly lie for Harrison Ford’s Dr Richard Kimble. *BIG NEWS* Rebecca's latest show is out! Watch "The Exhibit," an art show/competition hosted by the Smithsonian. It's on MTV after RuPaul's "Drag Race."  [https://www.mtv.com/shows/the-exhibit-finding-the-next-great-artist] Want to recommend a movie? Send them to us at ladiesgetaction@gmail.com

The Saint

Say a prayer to your saints! Which one? It doesn't matter -- Val Kilmer invokes them all! This week, the Ladies watched "The Saint," the Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue-fronted heist movie, featuring US-Russia relations that make it feel like no time has passed at all since the 90s! (It hasn't, because we're still VERY young, right? Right?!) We laugh about all of Val Kilmer's silly disguises and accents, ponder the similarities between this movie and "A Little Princess," and overall have a blast talking our way through this ultimately sweet-natured movie. The Ladies want all ladies to remember this PSA: KEEP YOUR PATENT.

The Fast & Furious (4)

Time for a REBOOT! This week, the Ladies watched "The Fast and the Furious" — otherwise known as “Fast 4.” We attempt to warn the world about a movie that was our failed podcast episode before diving back into one of our fave series with OUR FAMILY. We break down the misguided sexual tension (“Flowers In the Attic” throwback, anyone?), compare the movie beats to the original, and are BAFFLED by the fact that ANYONE (*cough cough* Dom) would reject Giselle. Be sure to listen until the end to hear our predictions for Fast X!
