Bed Wed or Behead

By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, the BeWBs will not stop until they've conquered every space show and movie under and beyond the sun! This time, Meg and Carla take their aim at 1999's Galaxy Quest (DreamWorks / Universal). Unlike the well-meaning bit dopey Thermians, we know this is all just entertainment. It doesn't make it any easier to separate the actors from their characters, however, and believe it or not this ends up working out for the best. Our trio is made up of Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman) Gwen DeMarco (Sigourney Weaver), and Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen), and we have a lot to say about each! So, who gets the ring, the fling, or the guillotine? Press play and find out!

We're celebrating our ten year Carlegversary! Meg and Carla met a decade ago as part of The Mindy Project (Fox 2012-2015, Hulu 2015-2017) fandom, and what better way to celebrate than to talk about a trio from the show that brought them together? This week, it's Cliff (Glen Howerton), Jamie (BJ Novak), and Josh's (Tommy Dewey) turn to have every aspect of their characters examined under the BeWBs' microscope. Who will get the fling, the ring, or the guillotine? There's lots of reminiscing, laughs, and Mature Lady-style fighting on the way to our Final Judgement. Press play and find out who gets what fate! *Excuse Meg’s audio sounding like she’s moving her whole office. Her mic was attacking her.

This week the BeWBs and Jenn from My Streaming Bubble bring you a Swapisode! We've swapped episodes with Jenn to bring to your ears our thoughts on The Cleaning Lady and Our Flag Means Death in a different format from what you normally hear from us, and to give you a peek into the world of her Streaming Bubble! Make sure to check out her podcast and give her some love! https://mystreamingbubble.podbean.com/

Aca-what? Your favorite basic pitches are looking for treble on this week's Bed Wed or Behead as they revisit 2012's Pitch Perfect (Universal Pictures)! Meg has watched this film roughly a thousand times to Carla's zero…until this week when she watched it to take on Beca (Anna Kendrick), Chloe (Brittany Snow), and Jesse (Skylar Astin). From the moment you hear this week's opening song parody you'll know whether Carla loved it or not, but you'll definitely want to stick around for their decision of who gets the ring, the fling, or the MUUUUUURDER! Press play and check it out!

Join the BeWBs in the shallow end of the sci-fi space pool for a good time with the fine folks of The Fifth Element (1997, Pathé)! Meg's revenge on Carla for making her watch Bridesmaids is this late 90s classic, and you can say it made an unexpected impression. More importantly, big choices were made between Father Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm), Corbin Dallas (Bruce Willis), and Leeloo (Milla Jovovich). So who gets the ring, the fling, or the guillotine? Press play and find out! *Also Meg apologizes for forgetting the difference between 300 years and 5,000.

🎶 Going to the chapel and we're Gonna get caaaaatty🎶 Because that's how adults handle things in Bridesmaids (2011, Universal Pictures), of course! The BeWBs fight starts before we even talk about the characters, with this being one of Meg's least favorite movies vs one that Carla loves. Don't worry! We do get into it about Annie (Kristen Wiig), Lillian (Maya Rudolph), and Helen (Rose Byrne), and there's LOTS to dish! Press play and find out who gets the ring, the fling, or the MUUUUUURDER!

You how how BeWBs do: When we fall in love with a show, we fall hard (aka, can't shut up about it), which is why even though we thought we could hold out and cover more Abbott Elementary (ABC, 2021 - present) characters later this season we caved and covered them much sooner than expected. So grab your backpacks, BeWBs Fam, because we're headed back for more shenanigans with our favorite group of teachers, and their fearless "leader"! That's right: this week you get our epic dive into what makes Ava Coleman (Janelle James), Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams), and Jacob Hill (Chris Perfetti) who they are. Press play and find out who gets the ring, the fling, or the MURRRRDERRR! Subhah Agarwal TikTok on white liberalism: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR38HpkD/

Grab an extra large juice box and join us for back to school night at Abbott Elementary! Meg and Carla "borrowed" Mr C's podcasting equipment to talk about Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph), Janine Teagues (Quinta Brunson), and Melissa Schemmenti (Lisa Ann Walter), three of our favorite Abbott teachers. It's not easy to choose among these amazing women, but in the end we decide who gets the Lego flower set, the Fun Times in the Living Classroom, and the detention. Press play to find out the fates that await this week's trio!

The BeWBs are back and chattier than ever, thanks to our special guest Hannah and the Gift to thirstkind that is Pedro Pascal! During our extended hiatus Meg fell down a Pedro Pascal rabbit hole, eventually piquing Carla's interest in The Mandalorian (Disney +, 2019 - present), The Last Of Us (HBO Max, 2023), and just enough episodes of Game Of Thrones (HBO Max, 2011 -2019) to watch his character in it. Along with Hannah, Meg and Carla face the challenge of being a normal amount of enthusiastic about Din Djarin, Joel Miller, and Oberyn Martell. So, who gets the ring, the fling, or the reluctant murder? Press play and find out!

Christmas is a magical time of the year, full of baking, switching places with an identical stranger, finding love, and deciding which of three characters doesn't survive the holiday. The BeWBs celebrate by taking on Kevin (Nick Sagar), Margaret (Vanessa Hudgens), and Stacy (Vanessa Hudgens) from The Princess Switch! In this episode not only do you get our classic character analysis with an FMK twist, you also get us creating a whole new and exciting backdrop for the events that take place in the movie! Consider it our holiday gift to you. You're welcome. So who gets the ring, the fling, or the MURRRDEERR? Press play to find out!

Here at Bed Wed Or Behead Pod, we're suckers for both Christmas and found family, so what better movie to cover than The Night Before (2015, Columbia Pictures)?! Chris (Anthony Mackie), Ethan (Joseph Gordon Levitt), and Isaac (Seth Rogen) are three dudes being best bros in this unexpectedly sweet buddy comedy. Naturally, one must die. Who gets the ring, the fling, or the MURRRDEERR? Listen and find out!

We love a good revenge film that's not about revenge, and it's hard to top The First Wives Club (1996, Paramount Pictures)! Join us as we dish on what we love about Annie (Diane Keaton), Brenda (Bette Midler), and Elise (Goldie Hawn). You don't own us but you CAN download us to listen and find out who gets the ring, the fling, or the MURRRDEERR!

Esta semana en nuestro podc– oops! This week on our podcast we talk about 2022's Father Of The Bride, and by "talk about" we mean lay into

You need at least three witches in a coven…or to take on Hocus Pocus 's Sanderson sisters, so Meg and Carla recruited Nish to play Bed Wed Or Behead this week! We talk about our favorite spoopy siblings and decide the fates of Mary (Kathy Najimi), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker), and Winifred (Better Midler). Press play to find out who put a spell on us!

It's spooky month, and we're feeling very into sisters right now so we're talking about Gillian (Nicole Kidman) and Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock), along with Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn), from Practical Magic! The hit 1998 movie based on the book by Alice Hoffman took over our hearts in a similar but less spooky way as Jimmy taking over Gillian's soul, but no exorcism will ever make us love it any less. So, who gets the sexy push into a wall, the ring coughed up by a frog, or the cast iron pan to the back of the head? Listen and find out!

Get your tea and scones and get ready for the BeWBs to take on the heroes of three Jane Austen book adaptations, joined by none other than Rachel and Lauren from Sort of Brilliant Podcast! This week's trio is composed of Pride and Prejudice 's Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy (Matthew Macfayden), Emma's George Knightley (Johnny Lee Miller), and Northanger Abbey's Mr. Henry Tilney (JJ Feil's). While they are all rich white men who ride horses in Regency Era England, the similarities absolutely go on from there, but we still manage to decide who gets the ring, the fling, or the MURRRDEERR! Press play to find out their fates!

Much as in baseball, there's no crying in this episode of Bed Wed Or Behead Pod! We visit the 1992 classic A League Of Their Own (Columbia Pictures) and decide the fates of Dottie (Geena Davis), Jimmy (Tom Hanks), and Kit (Lori Petty). Some VERY strong opinions are revealed and a kerfuffle breaks out on the field because Meg and Carla cannot agree on who deserves the guillotine most this week! Press play and find out who prevails!

It's a Peachy day here at Bed Wed Or Behead Pod as we fangirl over one of our new favorite shows, A League Of Their Own (2022, Prime Video)! We round the bases on what makes Carson Shaw (Abbi Jacobson), Greta Gill (D'Arcy Carden), and Max Chapman (Chanté Adams) our aces on the show, and we decide who gets the diamond, to home base, or who's out! We have also now officially exhausted our baseball puns. You're welcome!

Who wants to live forever? Not us BeWBs, but definitely most of this week's trio: Ernest Menville (Bruce Willis), Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn), and Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep)! That's right. This week we talk about 1992's Comedy/Fantasy Death Becomes Her (Universal Pictures), a classic that, unlike Mad and Hel's paint jobs, holds up remarkably well! So, what fates await these fabulously wicked characters? Press play and find out!

Meg and Carla have both finally recovered from the plague (COVID), and not once were we forced to live in the basement of a haunted English manor! Speaking of such accommodations, Bed Wed Or Behead kicks off the fall (shut up about your "calendars") by revisiting the delightful spectral residents on BBC's Ghosts (2019 - present). This time around we're talking about Kitty (Lolly Adefope), Mary (Katy Wix), and Robin (Laurence Rickard) to decide who gets the ring, the fling, or the MURRRDEERR!
