Well, well, well if it isn&apos;t an early 2000s MASTERPIECE (mostly). Audrey and Helen discuss "Bring It On" - the earliest movie they&apos;ve discussed thus far! Released right as Y2K was taking its inaugural breaths, it gifted us this seminal classic. (Dramatic? Maybe? But Audrey wrote this write-up and she is a BIG FAN).Audrey and Helen discuss Queen Kirsten Dunst and, as always, the things that hold up very very well (some of the race issues), and the things that really really do not (erm...the football game scene). The two pals discuss their early dreams of being high school cheerleaders, dreams that never came to fruition because they instead decided to become theatre kids. Ah, what could have been!Enjoy this episode! We hope you love it as much as we loved recording it.THANK YOU to Sami Kelly for our adorable cover art and Nicklaus Martin for our killer theme song!Helen: @helenmanganaroAudrey: @audpen@y2kcastLeave us a review, we&apos;d truly love you more than we already do!WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DISCUSS??

The Holiday

Happy Halloween! This weekend, the pals cover Twilight. Audrey and Helen could think of nothing spookier than this late 2000s vampire flick that pairs a 17 year old with a sparkly 90-something year old.

Twilight

WE DO DECLARE! This is one of the best episodes of Y2KCast yet. And that's saying a lot because we think we're pretty entertaining! But this so-bad-it's-good-movie made for some of the best takes YET from Audrey and Helen!Your favorite 2000s fanatics discuss Raise Your Voice (2004) aka the movie made specifically for Hilary Duff's music career. Audrey and Helen discuss the good (Denise! Montages!), the bad (the glorification of toxic relationships! music majors!), and the downright ridiculous (Hilary Duff praying in a church! more music majors!). Audrey thirts over John Corbett (wouldn't you?) and Helen pops OFF about the dangers of young people watching this movie (and rightfully so). Please enjoy the rantings (we know you will), and don't forget to leave us a review along the way!THANK YOU to Sami Kelly for our adorable cover art and Nicklaus Martin for our killer theme song!Helen: @helenmanganaroAudrey: @audpen@y2kcastLeave us a review, we'd truly love you more than we already do!WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DISCUSS??

Wooo boy, we got a doozy here, folks. Audrey and Helen are back and annoyed after watching A Walk to Remember (2002). For the first time, Helen doesn't find a hunky male lead hot (Audrey does though!), and the girls get a little deep about *~*the church and organized religion.*~* For possibly the first time, the girls are left with a taste in their mouths that is less nostalgic and a little more sour.THANK YOU to Sami Kelly for our adorable cover art and Nicklaus Martin for our killer theme song!Helen: @helenmanganaroAudrey: @audpen@y2kcastLeave us a review, we'd truly love you more than we already do!WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DISCUSS??
