Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping a handy Alicia Silverstone vs Rachel Blanchard guide into the ol’ VCR. 

I fear that this may be one that only I think is funny, but I’m really amused by this entire concept. 

This might be like the HSM Dante’s Inferno piece, but, by god, I’m gonna post it anyway. 

Do you ever find yourself wondering if the film you’re watching has Alicia Silverstone or Rachel Blanchard? 

To the untrained eye, they look identical. 

And to the trained eye, they also look identical. 

The only big difference is one supports RFK Jr. (YIKES), and the other is Rachel Blanchard. 

I digress.

Friends, I have a solution for you. 

I’ve created a little cheat sheet to help you differentiate the two Chers. 

Could you Google it? 

Absolutely. 

But, this idea makes me giggle, so there you have it. 

Alrighty, without further ado, here’s a handy dandy guide to whether or not its Alicia Silverstone or Rachel Blanchard. 

Clueless 

• Girl, it’s Alicia! 

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

• Girl, it’s Rachel! 

Batman & Robin 

• Girl, it’s Alicia! 

The Rage: Carrie 2

• Girl, it’s Rachel! 

Blast from The Past 

• Girl, it’s Alicia! 

Clueless: The TV Show 

• Girl, it’s Rachel! 

The Lodge 

• Girl, it’s Alicia! 

Sugar & Spice

• Girl, it’s Rachel! 

Vamps

• Girl, it’s Alicia! 

Flight of the Conchords

• Girl, that’s Maggie Lawson!

Hello, movie mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Ashlee Simpson Show into the ol’ VCR. 

Don’t ask me how, but MTV has, yet again, crept its way onto the B Movies Blog. 

And this time I’m bringing a real gem up from the depths. 

That’s right, friends… 

We’re talking about The Ashlee Simpson Show.

From June 2004 – March 2005, MTV gave us an in-depth look at Ashlee Simpson’s life, which included everything from learning how to clean an apartment to recording Autobiography. 

(And don’t worry, I already have an LCA for Autobiography in the works.) 

Video source: Piecesofashlee33

Now, I want to go ahead and address the elephants in the room. 

Yes, Ashlee Simpson was 19 when the show started, and yes, that’s extremely exploitative. 

I know she was legally an adult, but she was a TEENAGER. 

Also, Ryan Cabrera has been proven to allegedly be a piece of shit. 

Also also, her producers praise her for writing a song about dating a guy older than her? Like, double her age?

So, it’s not great. 

Additionally, the entire point of the show was just to get exposure for her album. 

Needless to say, it was a quintessential, problematic early 2000s reality show. 

It also…kind of makes me sad to watch because it’s clear that Ashlee desperately wants to step out of Jessica’s shadow (which, uh, the song “Shadow” is about), and it feels icky to watch. 

Especially when you realize that The Ashlee Simpson Show had the time slot directly following Newlyweds. 

She even has a terrible boyfriend named Josh for a hot minute who openly treats her like hot garbage for as long as he’s in the picture (which is one episode that ends with a montage of their time together after they break up as Ashlee sings “Unreachable”). 

Because, if you know your lore, she begins dating Ryan Cabrera. 

And, her family kind of treats her like trash, to boot?

I honestly feel bad for her. 

Sure, I more than understand that she has HELLA privilege, but I just feel like they’re really exploiting a teenage girl who’s trying to find herself. 

They also cover the SNL incident, and again, I feel horrible for her because it’s clear she wasn’t feeling well. 

I guess I’ve become an Ashlee Simpson sympathizer in my old age?

(Just in some of the context of the show and not for anything problematic she’s done, to clarify.) 

I digress. 

If you want to reminisce about the early aughts (and give yourself full-body cringes), I’d recommend watching all of the episodes, which, surprisingly, are super easy to find on YouTube. 

In fact, you can find all of the episodes on this handy playlist on Ashlee Simpson Music’s channel. 

Are there any other old reality shows you’d like me to dive into?

Baby, just ask me.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen into the ol’ VCR.

Growing up, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were pop culture royalty in my eyes. 

I watched every single movie and show. 

Unfortunately, I couldn’t wear the clothing because there weren’t really any plus-size options, but I did have a LOT of the accessories, like the sunglasses and even the folding chair. 

I also still have The New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Game Boy Color game (and my Game Boy Color), which, like most of their games, is completely unbeatable.

However, as we slowly found out, there was a dark side to the Olsen twins’ fame and fortune. 

Now, I’m not going to dive into any of the alleged struggles the Olsen twins faced or anything in that vein. 

I just don’t want to speculate about their personal lives, and I feel like the media has hounded them enough, as their public appearances are now few and far between. 

I hope that they’re both happy and healthy, and that’s the extent of what I’ll say about their personal lives. 

Moving on. 

I think the best way to tackle the Olsen twins’ pop culture empire is to divide it into three parts: The Movies, The Shows, and The Merchandise. 

I’m also going to throw out my top five favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley movies, just for kicks and gigs, so be sure to read through to the end. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, let’s jump into the world of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. 

The Movies 

The Olsen twins began acting on Full House in 1987 at only six months old, and their film career wouldn’t be far behind. In 1992, the first in an extensive catalog, To Grandmother’s House We Go, was released as a made-for-TV movie on ABC. 

One year later, in 1993, Dualstar, the Olsen’s production company, would begin producing all of Mary-Kate and Ashley’s movies, including How the West Was Fun, Double, Double Toil and Trouble, and the beloved The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley collection. 

Soon after the initial Dualstar releases, Mary-Kate and Ashley would star in the ICONIC It Takes Two, as well as the You’re Invited to Mary-Kate & Ashley’s… series.

Then, in 1998, Billboard Dad was released, which kicked off all of the direct-to-video films we all came to know and love. The full list includes: 

• Billboard Dad 
• Passport to Paris 
• Switching Goals 
• Our Lips Are Sealed 
• Winning London 
• Holiday in the Sun 
• Getting There
• When in Rome 
• The Challenge  

Shortly after the release of The Challenge, the Olsen twins would bless us with one last film in New York Minute before stepping out of the spotlight for good. 

The Shows 

While the Olsen twins made cameos in several shows over the years, they starred in two shows together: Two of a Kind and So Little Time. 

Each show only ran for 22 and 26 episodes respectively, and unfortunately, like their direct-to-video releases, it’s almost impossible to find the episodes anywhere, outside of stumbling across a box set from a reseller. 

Upon further research (aka me doing a bunch of Googling), it looks like Two of a Kind was canceled, but from what I can tell, both shows fell victim to the Fox Family to ABC Family switcharoo (allegedly/in my opinion). 

There’s also one last show that I would be remiss to not mention: Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action! Like the aforementioned two shows, it was canceled after one season on ABC’s One Saturday Morning.

The Merchandise  

Now, we can’t talk about Mary-Kate and Ashley without talking about all of the merchandise, of which there were legions. We’re talking books, video games, perfumes, you name it. But, the crown jewel of the Mary-Kate and Ashley merchandise was the fashion line. 

Now, I want to briefly pause to insert a trademark criticism here.  

I could never wear anything from their fashion line when I was growing up because the sizing was extremely limited. I’ve already talked about the fashion of the 2000s and its shitty size inclusion, so I’ll let you read more about my opinions here. 

I digress. 

Mary-Kate and Ashley had a clothing line for young girls that was available in Walmart. Walmart also carried their perfumes and makeup. I can’t find the *exact* dates their line was available, but it looks like most of the aughts?

I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the Mary-Kate and Ashley dolls. The Olsen twins released Barbie-esque dolls that came dressed in everything from pjs to outfits from their shows and movies. I had SEVERAL, and I can’t thank KP enough for getting some of them for me because a) we didn’t have a lot of money and b) I’m sure she had to fend off a ton of other parents to get them for me.

My Favorites

We’ve finally reached the part of the program where I’m going to reveal my top five favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley movies. And, spoiler, it’s probably going to be controversial. 

In no particular order, here are my top five favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley movies: 

• It Takes Two 
• New York Minute 
• Our Lips Are Sealed 
• Billboard Dad 
• Passport to Paris 

I SAID WHAT I SAID. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the Lecterverse into the ol’ VCR.

Alrighty, friends, here she is—the highly-anticipated piece about the Lecterverse (but mostly Hannibal). 

For those who have absolutely no idea what I’m referring to, the Lecterverse is the nickname I’ve given to the world of Hannibal Lecter. 

Cute, right?

If you still don’t know what I’m talking about, Dr. Hannibal Lecter is the titular character from Thomas Harris’s book series. 

Lecter is a disgraced psychiatrist, who, as it turns out, is/was a cannibalistic serial killer and even went so far as to serve human flesh to unknowing friends. 

As most of you know, Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I’ve always been fascinated with Lecter as a character. 

The Lecterverse currently stands at five films (technically), with Michael Mann’s 1986 Manhunter being the first. 

The other four in the series (aka the ones I consider to be canonical) are: 

• Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs 
• Ridley Scott’s Hannibal 
• Brett Ratner’s Red Dragon 
• Peter Webber’s Hannibal Rising 

The Lecterverse also consists of two ill-fated series: 

• Hannibal (2013-2015) 
• Clarice (2021-2021) 

And, today, we’re going to be focusing on the former. 

For YEARS, people have told me to watch Hannibal. 

It’s very queer, they’ve said. 

It’s very horror-centric, they’ve said. 

It’s a show you really need to watch, they’ve said. 

So, friends, I’ve finally done it. I’ve watched the entire series

And, as expected, your girl has some thoughts. 

I just want to smash their faces together like Barbie dolls

Let’s start with my overall thoughts. 

Hannibal is very gay, very horny (both literally and figurately), and very fucked up in the way that I like. 

I think Hannibal suffered the same fate as most horror shows with primetime spots in the late aughts/early 2010s, like Fear Itself—the normies just weren’t ready for this one. 

I don’t think Hannibal would’ve even had half the problems it did had it come out today on streamer. 

In fact, I think it would’ve been gayer, hornier, and more brutal on a streamer. 

I also think Hannibal is a testament to how much of a bummer it is that the crew of Crystal Lake didn’t trust Bryan Fuller’s vision, as I think he would’ve given Friday the 13th a breath of fresh air. 

Brb, wearing this during Pride month next year 

Overall, I did enjoy Hannibal. 

I think the first two seasons are really strong. 

I love how Michael Pitt (and later, Joe Anderson, when he took over) plays Mason Verger like a Batman villain/old-timey gangster. 

I’ve also never wanted two people to kiss more in my entire life than Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen). 

BUT, the third season…was laborious. 

I’m not going to lie to y’all. 

Those first six episodes were ROUGH to get through. 

In fact, that’s part of the reason why it took me so long to finish the show and write this piece. 

The third season also yields some of my biggest criticisms of the show overall…as well as some of my most controversial opinions. 

I obviously support gay rights as a queer woman, but this hair is a gay wrong

Now, admittedly, I do believe Hannibal begins to jump the shark towards the end of the second season, particularly with the Will/Margot Verger (Katharine Isabelle) storyline where she uses him as a sperm donor. 

Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE Katharine Isabelle, but that storyline just doesn’t work for me. 

Additionally, I have two other hot takes: 

1. I think Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier’s (Gillian Anderson) character should’ve been cut after she visited Will and told him she believed him. 
2. I think Dr. Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) should’ve been killed off at the end of season two. 

I know, I know. 

I grew up on The X-Files, so y’all know I love Gillian Anderson, but I think her character overstays her welcome. 

And, when it comes to Alana, I think this whole descent into darkness arc comes out of nowhere, and it’s not really to our benefit. 

I do love that she and Margot are partners, and I do love that we actually get a sex scene between the two of them.

But, I also have mixed feelings because I know the only reason the network signed off is because sex between two girls is hot/fetishized. 

One thing I will give the first half of season three, though, is the scene where Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) beats the everloving SHIT out of Hannibal; it’s truly one of the best scenes of the entire season. 

The only reason I’m glad Alana made it to season three is for this cunty little suit

But again, overall, I do think Hannibal is a good show. 

Would I like it to be even gayer? Yes. 

But alas, this was NBC in the 2010s, so we’re lucky we got what we did. 

I do also wish that Bryan Fuller would’ve gotten the chance to give his interpretation of Buffalo Bill, as well as Clarice Starling. 

Now, this is the part that I’ve been struggling with on this piece. 

How do I end a piece about the Lecterverse?

I tried giving Hannibal Lecter’s reviews of fast food chains…and hated it. 

I tried making fake recipes…and hated it. 

So instead, we’re just going to simplify things. 

Keeping something simple? On the B Movies Blog? There’s a first time for everything. 

Instead of trying too hard, I’m going to leave you with five of my favorite Hannibal Lecter quotes from Silence of the Lambs: 

5. “A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”

4. “Well, Clarice – have the lambs stopped screaming?” 

3. “You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste.”

2. “I have no plans to call on you, Clarice. The world is more interesting with you in it.”

1. “Oh, and Senator, just one more thing: love your suit!”

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the one-year anniversary of the B Movies Channel into the ol’ VCR.

A little over a year ago, I sent Elliott a text asking her what if, hypothetically, we started a YouTube channel for B Movies. 

She immediately said yes, and thus began one of the craziest journeys I’ve ever started. 

I’ll be honest—I was absolutely freakin’ terrified to start a YouTube channel. 

I’ve been writing on the internet for 13+ years, so I’m used to hate comments and having complete strangers come for me. 

But putting myself on YouTube for over 25 minutes a week?

Now THAT made me anxious. 

However, I don’t regret it for a second. 

I feel like the B Movies Channel has really come into its own over the past year. 

I watched a little bit of our debut video the other day, and I’m so proud of myself. 

My nerves got the best of me, and I was talking super fast to the point of gasping for air. 

Now, I just sit down, hit record, and feel like I’m having a conversation with all of you. 

Are there times we’ve gotten unsavory comments or people have discouraged me from continuing the channel IRL?

(Including someone being upset because I used our platform to talk about how it’s okay to not grieve the death of your abuser 12 hours after they died because it made the video start later—I couldn’t make this up if I tried.) 

Totally.

That’s the unfortunate reality of being on the internet. 

For the most part, though, everyone has been beyond supportive, and THAT’S why I want to keep releasing videos on the B Movies Channel. 

I’ll be even more honest and say that there have been times recently that I thought about ending it, but thanks to all of your support and patience in moving our release, it helped combat any burnout or hesitation I was feeling. 

The initial agreement I made with everyone was that I was going to try YouTube for a year and then go from there. 

Well, Movie Mavens, I’m here to tell you that we currently plan to keep going. 

I love the time I spend each week with you. 

I love writing scripts. 

I love scouring the internet and social media to find you all different kinds of content. 

I never thought I’d say this, but I love YouTube. 

So, Movie Mavens, here’s to a full year of the B Movies Channel, and to many, many more. 

Thank you so much for everything. 🖤

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap into the ol’ VCR.

Y’all, we HAVE to talk about Trap. 

Well, more accurately, I have to talk about Trap. 

This movie is so unserious and so goofy, and I will have to demand that all of you see it immediately. 

We have Miss Hayley Mills, yes, Miss “Let’s Get Together, Yeah Yeah Yeah” HERSELF, playing a Dr. Loomis type. 

We have Josh Hartnett looking F I N E. 

Like, FINE. 

And babygirl even got highlights—gone are the days of his infamous haircut from Halloween H20. 

Also, M. Night, it’s just us girls here… 

How long did you have that poster of JH up on your wall?

Because the slightly unbuttoned flannel is telling. 

But, I’m getting ahead of myself. 

I know I usually throw out a spoiler alert or disclaimer, but there’s not really anything to spoil?

The trailer is pretty straight forward, BUT if you want to keep the very silly shenanigans of Trap a secret, skip down to the paragraph that starts with “But, I have to be honest…”  

Trap follows Cooper (Josh Hartnett) as he and his daughter, Riley (Ariel Donoghue), attend the concert of her favorite artist, Lady Raven (Saleka Shyamalan). 

Before we go any further, I do want to give Saleka Shyamalan major props, as she has a BEAUTIFUL voice, and apparently wrote all of the songs for the film. 

I digress. 

I PROMISE I tried to find you a shirtless picture of JH from this movie, and I’m probably on several watchlists now 

Cooper is like if Dexter was saccharine sweet but the sugar coating was also made of Norman Bates’s mommy issues. 

Yes, you read that correctly. 

Throughout the film, Cooper does the GOOFIEST shit to evade capture. 

And, it works for the first two acts. 

However, the third act is where everything goes truly haywire. 

For example, at one point during the third act, a shirtless Cooper bodies a cop and proceeds to gouge his eyes out…all while being tased. 

Yes, I’ll give you a moment to picture it. 

There’s also a WILD scene where Lady Raven and Cooper partake in a weird roleplay, a la J.D. and his dad in Heathers, in an attempt by Lady Raven to get inside Cooper’s head. 

Yeah…

But, I have to be honest: I would watch an entire FRANCHISE with Cooper. 

Seriously. 

Something about the mustard yellow corduroy jacket is just really doing it for me, y’all

Much like Twisters, I loved how truly unserious this movie was. 

I personally don’t see a world where M. Night took this movie seriously, and I believe he’s on record as saying that he laughed when he finished this script? 

I also want to keep up this trend of 80s and 90s teen dream boys turning into baddies, a la Thanksgiving and Scream VI. 

Someone see if Tom Welling is available. 

Hell, he already did Lucifer and The Winchesters. 

Now, I would be doing all of you a disservice if I didn’t give a couple of sentences of a serious review. 

Is this a good movie? 

No, it’s not. 

But was I entertained from start to finish?

Abso-fucking-lutely. 

I was half expecting Hayley Mills to come on the walkie and say, “He seems to have brought his daughter, that means he’s a parent. This is a trap, a parent trap.” 

Like I said, I would sincerely watch an entire FRANCHISE with Cooper. 

Let Josh Hartnett run wild. 

Let his beautifully highlighted hair float in the wind while he pretends to be a disheveled barista and member of the S.W.A.T. team. 

Give me an entire series with this Oedipus complex-ridden man. 

Give me a reason to Google how tall Josh Hartnett is on a Wednesday night (he’s 6’3”, just an FYI). 

Give me more sheer silliness like Trap. 

And, M. Night, I hope you still kiss that Josh Hartnett poster every night. 

P.S. To all my eagle-eyed Movie Mavens, keep your eyes peeled for a billboard for The Watchers in the background at the beginning of the movie.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping movie recommendations based on astrological signs into the ol’ VCR.

I feel like there are several disclaimers I need to give up top. 

First and foremost, I’m not an expert on astrology. 

I know my big three, and I know some basics about some of the signs, but most of these movies were chosen based on the characteristics I found over on good ol’ Horoscope.com. 

Secondly, I need you all to remember that I’m just a silly goose that writes about pop culture on the internet, so all of this is in good fun. 

Some of the movies I picked based on the animal/symbol for the sign, and others have characters that made me think of the signs. 

I won’t be explaining my choices, though, because I think it’s more fun that way. 

Just roll with it, bbs. 

Finally, be sure to check CW/TWs for these movies before watching. Some do have content that might be triggering. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are three movie recommendations based on your sign: 

Aries 

Firestarter (1984), Bring It On, and Uptown Girls

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Emily

in Paris into the ol’ VCR.

I decided to finally watch Emily in Paris, and, boy howdy, do I have some thoughts. 

And the first is, how did no one tell MTV and Netflix that when a word starts with a vowel/vowel sound, you put “an” in front of it, not “a”. 

(Here’s looking at you, A MTV Entertainment Studios Production.) 

I digress. 

Okay, y’all know I’m a sucker for a plucky heroine in a fish-out-of-water story. 

Emily Cooper…isn’t that. 

Emily manages to bring down the electricity in her entire apartment building with a single vibrator, kiss, and eventually sleep with, one of her friends’ boyfriends, and be one of the most all-around densest characters ever written. 

But, let’s start with the positives. 

There are a lot of characters I actually really do like in this series. 

I also love how they showcase Ashley Park’s talent because she’s such an incredibly talented singer and performer. 

I would even be so bold to say that they hit some of the nuances you see in the marketing field. 

HOWEVER, I think Emily’s character is super annoying. 

There, I said it. 

I’m already shitting on Emily so hard that I’ll spare y’all my fashion commentary

In the very first episode, she says, and I quote, “The entire city looks like Ratatouille.” 

I’ll admit that I’ve never been to France, but I don’t believe that would be the first thing out of my mouth. 

Additionally, Emily not only continuously tries to change the culture of a country she’s VISITING, but she scoffs at many of their traditions. 

She also doesn’t understand the concept of polyamory or open relationships??

And then shames people for them while openly having an affair with her friend’s boyfriend??

And don’t even get me started on the episode where she SLEEPS WITH A 17-YEAR OLD. 

I know I wasn’t going to dog on the writing, but the writers stole a plot line from Friends. 

And, spoiler, it was problematic then, just as it’s problematic now. 

Speaking of problematic…

Not to mention the scene where his mother then asks Emily about her son’s…performance?

YIKES. 

Someone needs to remind MTV that they can’t make shows like they used to any more. 

I feel like Emily in Paris manages to offend Americans and Parisians alike at times, which is no small feat. 

In all seriousness though, I would love for Emily’s character to be more likable. 

Hold her more accountable. 

Let’s tighten up that “small town girl from Chicago” act. 

Maybe have her repeat an outfit every now and then?

I think by making her a wee bit more relatable, it would fix a lot of the issues I have with her. 

But, I fear that she’ll continue to be what the French call, “Les Incompétents.” 

Fun fact: Linnie is played by Angela Goethals, who a lot of you will also know as Taylor from Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon 

But, you already know I’m going to watch the new season, baby.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Cher into the ol’ VCR.

I feel like many of you grew up with The Very Best of Cher in your mom’s car like I did. 

If not, I grew up blasting The Very Best of Cher in my mom’s car. 

KP LOVED Cher, so I was fortunate enough to grow up with her music and movies alike. 

KP even bought me a “Mom, I am a rich man” sweatshirt when my career started to get off the ground. 

If it isn’t obvious, I’ve been missing my mom quite a bit lately, and our love of Cher was something we shared. 

That’s why I want to do a spotlight on Cher today, among other reasons. 

Cherilyn Sarkisian, aka Cher, was born on May 20, 1946. 

Cher was thrust into the spotlight with her then-husband, Sonny Bono, as the duo released hit after hit and starred in their own show. 

However, Cher more than held her own with hits like “Dark Lady,” aka one of my favorite Cher songs of all time (which is equally as important as the other information in this sentence). 

Soon after her divorce, Cher’s popularity skyrocketed with the release of Take Me Home, ultimately leading to her Broadway debut and her acting career on the Silver Screen. 

Since then, Cher has become an international icon with hits like “Believe” and “If I Could Turn Back Time.” 

Not to mention, she’s starred in classics like Burlesque, which I believe to be the millennials’ version of Showgirls, and you can’t tell me otherwise. 

I digress. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Cher that hasn’t been said before. 

She’s a strong, badass woman with one of the most incredible and recognizable voices of all time. 

Cher, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Cher content: 

• Burlesque
• Moonstruck 
• The Witches of Eastwick
• Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping more cult-classic cartoons into the ol’ VCR. 

Y’all already KNOW that we couldn’t leave Drawing A Blank at one entry. 

I mentioned in the last edition that several really good cartoons got left on the cutting room floor, and I figured that now was the time to give them their dues. 

We have some deep pulls for you this time, including one that I had completely forgotten about until it popped up on my Instagram feed. 

Alrighty, we’ll keep it short because y’all know the drill. 

Without further ado, here are 10 cult-classic cartoons that’ll make you crave unprecedented times and a Caribou Coffee bar:
