Let's Press Play: Damsel

What more could a movie need than a dragon, suspense, and a wedding (or three)? Well... our hosts are spilling their hopes, dreams, and critiques of the Millie Bobby Brown-led Damsel to answer that very question. With Katie, our very own dragon-lover and Emilie, fantasy's biggest fan, and MacK... who frankly for this one was just happy to be here... this episode is sure to bring you some laughs, an escape into a faraway land, and reasons to love when women get to be more than a bride at the altar.

Let's Press Play: The Man in the Iron Mask

All for one, and one for all - and absolutely everyone for a young 90s Leo! This week we're discussing the 1998 adventure The Man in the Iron Mask, which takes us back to 1700s France, where King Louis is being less than noble. *** On the verge of bankruptcy, with its people starving in the streets, France is preparing for war that no one (except the King) wants. How do you stop a king? You grab your besties, put your lives in danger, and rescue a stranger from a dungeon. Duh! The Musketeer (yes, those ones) hatch a plan to free a prisoner who has been locked in an iron mask for years... his face hidden... because some say he just might have the face of a king. #PressPlay with us as MacK takes us through a 90s childhood classic of hers that lives in infamy, if for nothing else, for one Sir Gerard Depardieu...
