    From Cousins Beach to the Outer Banks, it’s time to settle the ultimate debate: which teen summer drama reigns supreme? In this episode the Screen Queens are asking who had the best summer, The O.C., Outer Banks, or The Summer I Turned Pretty? Expect plenty of nostalgia, chaotic teen romance, and the eternal question, where ARE the parents? Along the way they swap their own teen summer stories–from awkward first kisses to beach days that could rival any scripted drama.

  • What Are The BEST Summer Blockbusters Of All Time?

    What Are The BEST Summer Blockbusters Of All Time?
    Aug 11 2025
    This week on Betches Video Club, it’s a showdown to determine the ultimate Steven Spielberg summer blockbuster. From Jeff Goldblum's glistening shirtless moment in Jurassic Park, to the severed head scare in Jaws, to the emotional ride that is E.T., this episode is packed with unfiltered reactions and surprising opinions. We jump in with the film that redefined the summer blockbuster, Jaws (still holds up nearly 50 years later). Next up, the ultimate childhood heartstring-puller, unpacking the film’s magical tone and emotional depth. And of course, Drew Barrymore's star-making moment (and her tragic backstory) gets a major shoutout. Then, the Screen Queens dive into everything from Laura Dern’s "mother" energy to Jeff Goldblum’s chaotic charisma as they break down what makes this dino epic endlessly rewatchable. Next week, we are watching the pilot of these iconic teen dramas, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The OC, and Outer Banks! Join us! Don’t forget to vote in our next poll and tell us what movies the Video Club should watch next!

  • What Makes The Parent Trap So Good?

    What Makes The Parent Trap So Good?
    Aug 4 2025
    This week on Betches Video Club, the Screen Queens dive into the chaotic, emotional, and lowkey delusional world of Americans abroad. The Parent Trap, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, and The Lizzie McGuire Movie shaped how an entire generation of teens thought international travel would go, and *spoiler alert* the bar was set unrealistically high. From dual Lindsay Lohans orchestrating the parent trap across continents to Lizzie McGuire becoming an international pop star by accident, these millennial-core films defined our dreams of romance abroad. Also the way America Ferrara absolutely ate in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, give her an Oscar! The hosts take a nostalgic look at what these movies promised us, from self-discovery to an entirely false sense of what a middle school class trip to Rome might be like. Whether you’ve watched these movies a hundred times or haven’t seen them in two decades, this episode is your ultimate rewatch companion. Expect plenty of laughs and honest reflections about what these films taught us (for better or worse). Find out which Summer blockbuster blew the most minds (and budgets) on our next episode!

Plus we debate when exactly you earn your New Yorker card and the classic question on whether you're a Carrie, a Miranda, or maybe a Charlotte pretending to be a Samantha. Once and for all we settle the debate on which of Carrie’s men is the hottest. Was it the charming Aidan Shaw, or maybe the mysterious Russian whisking her off to Paris?
