Does 'The Lizzie McGuire Movie' Hold Up?

Rich Text ·

2023/05/01

Twenty years ago, Hilary Duff cemented her status as a Disney Channel icon by starring in the first-ever Disney series movie spin-off released in theaters: “The Lizzie McGuire Movie.” As in the show, Duff played the perpetually lip-glossed, glossy-haired middle-school outcast, Lizzie McGuire, who manages to get bullied by being nicer and conventionally hotter than anyone you went to junior high with. The concept of the movie: Lizzie heads to Rome for a post-graduation class trip, only to catch the

Our Dallas “Love Is Blind” crew has officially returned to the small screen. And with them they brought some drama, some laughs, some true clubwear-at-brunch *lewks*, and a lingering question: When the hell was this thing filmed?Here are a few things we knew: Bartise said on Instagram that he had filmed three shows — “LIB,” “Perfect Match” and “After The Altar” before any of them aired. They repeatedly reference it being a year since the weddings on “After The Altar,” and we know that filming

[PREVIEW] 'MILF Manor' Takes Fauxcest To TV

2023/01/30

When a dating reality show called “MILF Manor” was announced not long ago, the reaction was immediate and unanimous: Wasn’t that a fake show on “30 Rock”? It does seem like a desperate TV exec, over a decade after the “MILF Island” episode of “30 Rock,” cribbed the concept of a reality show about hot moms for their own pitch. But in practice, “MILF Manor” is somehow more tawdry than its fictional predecessor. “MILF Island” (tagline: "25 super-hot moms, 50 eighth grade boys, no rules”) seemed more

In three seasons and less than a year in the life of Emily Cooper, our plucky Chicago girlboss’s Parisian adventures in love and marketing have somehow gone from infuriatingly absurd to deflatingly dull. Season three revolves around endless workplace furniture-moving that ultimately leaves our core Savoir team almost exactly where they began; on the romantic front, Emily, Mindy, and Sylvie all find themselves locked in deeply forgettable love triangles. After two vibrantly chaotic seasons about the

“The White Lotus” is one of those shows that sticks with you.Mike White’s masterful series, which follows a new group of wealthy Americans (and locals) each season as they travel to a different White Lotus hotel, wrapped its second season in mid-December, but we’ve both been thinking about it ever since. So by popular demand, we finally got our act together to podcast about it. White loves a Big Juicy Theme, and this season it was sex, specifically of the transactional variety. As Jen Chaney put it

2022/12/19

The idea of love as the perfect Christmas gift from Santa – whisked down the chimney and tucked underneath a fragrant, be-tinseled Scotch pine, “all my own in a big red bow” as Britney Spears memorably envisioned – is at the heart of most holiday romantic comedies. And yet, we’d argue, most don’t go far enough in bringing Britney’s vision to life. What sort of man actually can be produced from Santa’s big toy sack and given to you as a holiday gift, flawless and utterly devoted to you? Well, one who

Why is it so hard to make a decent holiday rom-com that centers Jews?That is the topic we are exploring on this week’s podcast as we dive into the absolute student-film-esque mayhem of Hulu’s “Menorah In The Middle.” This Hanukkah romantic comedy follows Sarah (Lucy DeVito, daughter of Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman), as she returns to her hometown of Sol Viejo, California for Hanukkah with her goyishe supervillain boyfriend Chad (inexplicably played by Chilean-American actor Cristián de la Fuente)

The Lohanaissance has arrived and it feels so good. For the two of us, Lindsay Lohan was synonymous with the best parts of girlhood when we were growing up. Her bright red hair and visible freckles were icons in their own right. She was there with us navigating sibling relationships (“The Parent Trap”), parental relationships (“Freaky Friday”), and friendships (“Mean Girls”). We grew up alongside Lindsay, and then watched as the media delighted in her fall from grace, her struggles with addiction,
