After a quick round of 'This or That', the conversation deepens into the world of the limited series—motherhood, partnership, and the quiet expectations that show up when both parents are trying to work, be present, and hold everything together. They explore how the story handles blame and perception, but also the subtler emotional truths it hints at: the pressure to do it all, the loneliness that can exist inside a family, and the aching desire so many of us carry to feel needed… even when that need becomes its own kind of burden.

In this episode of Cut 2 the Feels, we’re diving deep into Past Lives, a film that beautifully unravels the relationship between identity, love, and the places that shape us. We explore how Nora’s journey across countries and cultures becomes a story not just about romance, but about who we become when we leave home—and who we might’ve been if life had unfolded differently.

It’s been a minute—but we’re back on Cut 2 the Feels! In this episode, we’re catching up on everything we’ve been up to lately—travel, work, school, and all the chaos in between. Of course, we couldn’t resist diving into the movies that dropped over the summer, sharing what we loved, what surprised us, and what we can’t wait to review next.

In this powerful episode of Cut 2 the Feels, we’re joined by our amazing friend Helina to unpack Sinners—a film that doesn't just tell a story, but redefines the narrative for Black characters in media.

We dive into the masterful acting, the rich emotional depth of the characters, and how the film boldly challenges long-standing stereotypes in Black storytelling. Together, we reflect on how Sinners paves the way for more honest, layered, and liberated portrayals of Black life on screen.

This one’s full of heart, sharp takes, and celebration for what’s possible when storytelling breaks the mold.

In this episode of Cut 2 the Feels, we’re getting straight to the feels—sharing how our different attachment styles shape the way we experience relationships. One of us leans anxious, the other avoidant, and together we unpack what that actually looks like in real life: habits, emotional needs, conflict, and all the things we’re still learning (and unlearning).

Whether you’re deep into your attachment theory era or just curious why dating feels so complicated sometimes, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Cut 2 the Feels, we dive deep into Sean Baker’s Anora — a chaotic, tender, and brutally honest story about love, power, and self-worth. With our FIRST-EVER guest Minasse (fellow movie lover and certified feeler), we unpack Anora’s messy charm, the impulsive romance with Ivan, and the heartbreak that follows when fantasy collides with reality.

We talk about what makes a relationship functional, the traps of fairy tale thinking, and why sometimes the dream of being “saved” isn’t what it seems. From spontaneous Vegas weddings to the brutal power of family money, we explore how Anora exposes the raw truths about vulnerability, control, and reclaiming your own story.

Few films leave you shaken to your core, and Incendies is one of them. In this episode of Cut 2 the Feels, we dive into Denis Villeneuve’s haunting masterpiece—a story of war, identity, and painful family secrets.

We break down the gut-wrenching plot twists, the film’s powerful themes of intergenerational trauma and the search for truth, and how Incendies forces us to question whether the past can ever truly be left behind. We also discuss the emotional weight of uncovering family history—and what it means to confront painful truths about where we come from.

This is not an easy watch, but it’s one that stays with you. Let’s unpack it together.

Life can suck, but the right movie can make everything a little better. In this episode of Cut 2 the Feels, we’re building the ultimate recovery watchlist—from sob-fests that let you ugly cry, to feel-good flicks, to the ultimate glow-up inspo.
