Bossy Britches

On the very brief hiatus between regular episodes, Lisa and Jules saw the new Ghostbusters! And accidentally recorded this full-length episode masquerading as a Bossy Short. You’re so welcome! The post Bossy Shorts – Ghostbusters! appeared first on Bossy Britches.

In this embarrassingly delayed second edition of the Harry Potter Book Club, Lisa and Jules are ready to talk about all things Chamber of Secrets, the shortest (maybe?) book in the series and one of the most upsetting. Comparatively. It’s a sliding scale, okay? Grab your copy and listen along as we convene the first […] The post #033 – Harry Potter Book Club appeared first on Bossy Britches.

This week, Jules and Lisa are giving thanks for entertainment that doesn’t make you despair for the future of literally everything and everyone everwhere. So slip on your headphones and take a break from the doom and gloom! We’re talking about the power of positivity, the death of irony, the importance of making meaningful work, […] The post #032 – Positivity appeared first on Bossy Britches.

A Bond movie is a Bond movie is a Bond movie. Right? Like a good romance novel, you get what you expect. Although the Daniel Craig era initially seemed like it offered something new (beyond the blond Bond) … uh, it doesn’t, really. Jules and Lisa dig into Spectre and try to figure out how […] The post #031 – Spectre appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Listen up, space nerds! This week we’re talking about the movie that doubles as our favorite recent catnip for space nerds, The Martian. Yeah, that’s right. A movie so good we’ll mix all kinds of awkward metaphors! Over two hours of people working together to do amazing things and save people. What a nice change […] The post #030 – The Martian appeared first on Bossy Britches.

While Jules is on vacation, Lisa Eastham (Charter Member of the Roger Deakins Appreciation Society) returns to Bossy Britches to talk about Sicario–and we somehow do it without spoiling anything major! The latest from Denis Villenueve, this bleak, violent, gorgeous movie is the best argument yet for Roger Deakins to get that Cinematography Oscar (COME […] The post #029 – Sicario appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Welcome back to Bossy Britches! We have a very special episode of Between Two Lisas, with special guest Lisa Eastham. (Jules is taking some well-deserved time off, but she’ll be back soon.) This week it’s just two Lisas, talking about zombies. Talking a lot about zombies and other totally non-fictional Halloween types. First we catch […] The post #028 – Zombies! appeared first on Bossy Britches.

You still have time to enter our The Martian contest! Email info@realbossybritches.com or comment on the site with your guess for the first time the movie made Lisa cry, for your chance to win a shout-out and an iTunes giftcard! You might have noticed that there’s a new Broadway musical that everyone* is losing their […] The post Bossy Shorts – Hamilton appeared first on Bossy Britches.

As the summer winds down, Jules and Lisa catch up on the media they’ve been consuming for non-podcast purposes while we wait (anxiously!) for the new TV season to start. TV: Brooklyn Nine-Nine Veronica Mars Books: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic The Girl on the Train Music: Spotify […] The post Bossy Shorts – Summer Roundup appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Special guest Carly Lane is back with Lisa and Jules to talk about the new Netflix series, Sense8, which was just renewed for a second season! If you haven’t watched yet, you should. Like, now. Now? Yes, go. But come back! Because we’re all about this show, from the delicious character development to the weightier […] The post #027 – Sense8 appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Carly Lane is back with Lisa and Jules at Bossy Britches HQ to get over-excited about the upcoming Deadpool movie, with Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as Wade Wilson–maybe done right this time, even! (Are there pouches??) Here, you can watch the new trailer and get hyped too: Deadpool Is it February yet? We really […] The post Bossy Shorts – Deadpool appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Special guest and occasional boxing movie aficionado Lisa Eastham joins Jules and Lisa for a deep dark–and occasionally confusing–discussion about the new Antoine Fuqua/Kurt Sutter movie, Southpaw, starring Jake Gyllenhall, Rachel McAdam’s bandage dress, and Forest Whitaker doing the kind of acting work that deserves much better material. Tell us what you’re looking for in […] The post #026 – Southpaw appeared first on Bossy Britches.

It’s been a wet hot American summer, but it’s winding down now. And you know what that means: time to burrow into the couch until you fuse with the cushions and lose yourself in so much Netflix you forget about the inexorable march of time and cold weather and the long dreary inescapable…. Sorry! Netflix […] The post Bossy Shorts – Netflix August appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Lisa and Jules dig into the art of revisiting media with their customary laser focus, asking what it means to revisit a favorite in terms of personal experience and memory. From Pride & Prejudice to the Terminator franchise, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Star Wars before and after the Dread Remasterings, how do […] The post #025 – When You Come Back appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Is there really anything to say except: Lisa and Jules saw Magic Mike XXL, in theaters, in the daytime, and then giggled about it for ten minutes? Well, giggled and talked about how it’s a wonderful embodiment of a feminist agenda that not only values women and women’s bodies and women’s sexuality and women’s active […] The post Bossy Shorts – Magic Mike XXL appeared first on Bossy Britches.

It’s finally time for the first Bossy Britches Book Club! Lisa and Jules have a lot of feelings about Harry Potter, the first book, the Trio, the rest of the books, the movies, Minerva McGonagall and Neville Longbottom, and deathless prose, but our biggest feel of all is reserved for THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS […] The post #024 – Harry Potter Book Club appeared first on Bossy Britches.

In the immortal words of Immortan Jules: People are jerks. And especially so in Mad Max: Fury Road! If you subscribe to the Bossy Britches Official Position on Action Movies, we’re pretty sure you’ll find that this one has (almost) everything you want and crave and need and would fight for in an action movie. […] The post #023 – Mad Max: Fury Road appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Lisa has seen the new Melissa McCarthy movie, SPY, a truly ridiculous number of times for a movie that’s still in theaters. Co-starring Everyone’s Favorite Miranda Hart, God’s Gift to Comedy Jason Statham, and some guy named Jude, it’s a Bond movie without all the things that make Bond movies … pretty gross, actually. (But […] The post Bossy Shorts – Spy appeared first on Bossy Britches.

It’s finally here! Jurassic World! Dinosaurs! Special effects! Action hero Chris Pratt! That musical motif! Lisa hasn’t gone to see Jurassic World yet (no-one tell 14 year old her, please, she’ll be so disappointed), and Jules is … Jules is totally fine with that, honestly. In this Bossy Short, they talk about whether not going […] The post Bossy Shorts – Jurassic World appeared first on Bossy Britches.

Jules and Lisa are starting a book club and you’re invited! This summer we’re re-reading the Harry Potter series, one book every other weeks, from the first owl in Privet Lane to the last kid’s kid bundled off to Hogwarts. Drop us a line on Twitter, Tumblr, or in email–or even here in the comments! […] The post #022 – Netflix June & Kimmy Redux appeared first on Bossy Britches.
