THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAAAAY!

The first Double Feature Date Night Friday of 2026, and the last Double Feature Date Night Friday of Season 2. Out with the old, in with the new, as they say. The champagne bottles are in the recycling, the confetti is cleared away and the When Harry Met Sally Blu-ray is back on the shelf. New Resolutions are being written out to commemorate a New Year and, dare we say, a whole New You? Welcome to Episode Twelve of Season Two of A Couple of Old Fashioneds: Becca and Joe’s Double Feature Date Night at the Movies, the Season Finale!

On this episode the Theme is, “New Year, New You”, and the movies are:

STRANGE DAYS & REPEAT PERFORMANCE!

Who felt an underrated Bigelow deserved a repeat viewing and who wanted to make an underrated film noir less of a stranger? And will this movie mashup make for a strange day, or will it merit a repeat performance? And is anyone else getting sufficiently full of these bios’ questionable wordplays yet?

Watch the episode to find out if you guessed right!

Don’t forget now the show is its own broadcast to please subscribe to its YouTube and Podcast channels, share with anyone you think would enjoy and stay up to date on latest episodes! Follow it on Instagram and Letterboxd to see the complete movie lists and let Becca and Joe know in the Comment Sections on YouTube or leave a Review wherever you Podcast about whether you agree with their picks and what movie you would’ve brought if it had been a Triple Feature.

After all, the greatest gift a movie lover can give another is a great title they have yet to discover. That’s what movies are all about - they’re the only kind of marathon worth participating in and they’re what Date Nights are made for. No matter what year it is, that’s one thing that will never change.

So settle in, grab your favorite old fashioned drink with your favorite old fashioned person (if that’s the pleasure of your own company then we completely feel you), and revel in a couple old fashioned conversations with Becca and Joe. They are, let’s face it, a pretty old fashioned kind of couple themselves.

And alright, once more (for old fashioned times’ sake): THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAAAAY!
