Sugar & Spice (25th anniversary)

About this episode

Mark and Carlos celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film Sugar & Spice and discuss its themes and related films.

Nobody ever got ahead by sitting on their behinds! Mark welcomes Carlos from @slasher_junkie back on the pod to celebrate a Marley Shelton-starring 2001 female ensemble double feature! In this first part of a two-part discussion, the boys make their own A squad, pull out a Betty doll mask, and chat about the underrated cheerleader caper Sugar & Spice for its 25th anniversary. That's an illegal dismount! Plus, they applaud Drop Dead Gorgeous (same writer!), mention Brokeback Mountain for its 20th anniversary, and mourn the loss of James Van Der Beek.
