Two heist movies featuring people who have hidden motives and Ben Affleck — it's The Town vs Reindeer Games.
Alexandra Holden | Strong Female Leads
Everything Alexandra Holden is in, she elevates. A comedic delight who is responsible for some iconic characters in my favorite things (Friends, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Rizzoli & Isles), and who is now creating her own sketch comedy on Instagram as half of Out of Luck Show. I loved getting new insight into the dark humor behind her projects as well as discussing the unifying hotness of Bruce Willis.

Two movies about groups stuck in one spot, dealing with an inevitable end — it's The Hateful Eight vs It's a Disaster.
Que Sera, Sera: Requiem for a Dream vs Final Destination
Two movies that explore inevitability and what hand we have in our future - it’s Requiem for a Dream vs Final Destination.
Mother Knows Best: Lady Bird vs Sleepwalkers
Two movies about complicated maternal relationships and the opportunities that youth affords — it's Lady Bird vs Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers.
Jamie Gray Hyder | Strong Female Leads
Jamie Gray Hyder (Law & Order: SVU, COD: Infinite Warfare) took my favorite thing in the world and made it even better when she joined Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. This conversation was a delight, ranging from the direction of the newest season of SVU, to the childhood playtime vibes of portraying a video game character, to the thoughtful ways Jamie engages with social media. She is such a bright light and so funny - enjoy!
SVU airs Thursdays on NBC at 9PM | Follow Jamie Gray Hyder on Instagram and Twitter (both @JGHyder) | Book a Cameo from Jamie (and help out a good cause!)
Odd One Out: Donnie Darko vs Compulsion
Come As You Are: The Departed vs Undercover Brother
Two undercover movies about coming to terms with who you are and the importance of community — it's The Departed vs Undercover Brother.
Kimberly J. Brown | Strong Female Leads
Halloween queen Kimberly J. Brown (Halloweentown, Bringing Down the House, Guiding Light) is my guest, so obviously we talk all things Cromwell family and the joy of Disney Channel Original Movies, but we also get into her killer crafts and having some of the all-time best on-screen families.
Spend your Halloween with Kimberly at the virtual Galaxy Con panel!
