This week on Two Girls and a Plot Twist, we do what we do best: interrogate the twist. From iconic reveals in Gone Girl, The Prestige, and Oldboy to moments that made us pause the screen in disbelief, we break down what separates brilliant storytelling from straight-up bad writing.

We ask the important questions: Was the twist earned—or was it just shock value? Expect hot takes, laughs, and a little internet nonsense as we argue our cases and crown the twists that actually deserve respect.

Content Note: This episode includes discussion of sensitive topics, including sexual assault, abuse, and underage relationships. Listener discretion advised.

Spoiler Alert: We discuss plot details for some of the shows mentioned.

This episode has no agenda—just opinions. Shana and Lala Elsie let the conversation roam from Emmy nominations to conspiracy theories, nostalgia, animation, and the strange state of modern media.

It’s pop culture whiplash in the best way: honest takes, unexpected connections, and the kind of conversations that happen when you press record before the outline exists. If you like your media analysis messy, funny, and real, this one’s for you.

In our very first episode, we’re introducing ourselves the only way that feels right: through the movies that shaped us. We kick things off with a quick rundown of what’s happening in pop culture right now — anime, animation, horror, and game-to-screen news that has us excited, confused, or already questioning Hollywood’s decisions.

Then we dive into the main event: the formative films that influenced our taste, worldview, and love of storytelling. These aren’t “best of” lists — they’re the movies that stuck with us, changed how we watch things, and quietly explain a lot about our current obsessions. We wrap it all up with rapid-fire one-sentence reviews, because overthinking pop culture is kind of our brand.
