Rice, Beans, and Scenes
Rice, Beans, and Scenes is a weekly, light-hearted movie podcast hosted by Andrew (“Beans”) and Sarah (“Rice”), a married duo whose movie habits are as different as their nicknames.
Andrew (Beans) is a true cinephile with encyclopedic knowledge of film across every genre. He can speak in movie lines and pop-culture references for an entire day without repeating himself.
Sarah (Rice) loves movies just as much, but with the memory of a goldfish—she’ll forget character names, plot points, and sometimes whether she’s even seen a film before. Her reactions are genuine, funny, and often completely unpredictable.
While they both adore movies, their tastes don't always align—which is the fun of it.
Each week, they trade picks: one week Sarah chooses the movie and they dive into it together; the next week Andrew takes his turn.
The result is a playful blend of silly jokes, heartfelt commentary, pop-culture tangents, character deep dives, and the unmistakable chemistry of two people who love each other—and movies—even when they disagree.

This week on Rice, Beans and Scenes, we strapped in for Top Gun: Maverick in 4DX, and let’s just say, this viewing format understood the assignment. From aerial stunts to emotional flybys, this episode had speed, nostalgia, and just enough chair-shaking chaos to make us FEEL THE NEED, FOR SPEED.
Maverick is back, and so are we.

SURPRISE! We dropped a very special Rice, Beans & Scenes Minisode packed with a chaotic side tangent, questionable theories, and it made us ask, “should we have cut that out?” (We didn’t.)

This week on Rice, Beans & Scenes, we finally watched Titanic… and yes, Sarah had THOUGHTS. From “there was definitely room on that door” debates to Andrew trying way too hard not to cry, this episode is one big emotional iceberg.

This week on Rice, Beans & Scenes, we’re rewinding to the chaotic, wildly unhinged early-2000s rom-com Saving Silverman. It’s got Jack Black BEFORE peak Jack Black, Jason Biggs in full awkward-best-friend mode, and a completely unhinged performance by Steve Zahn! This plot most likely would not be made today. Is it dumb? Yes. Is it problematic? Also yes. Is it weirdly charming anyway? Absolutely!

In this episode of Rice, Beans, and Scenes, Sarah and Andrew dive into the Disney Channel Original Movie My Thirteenth Year—the unexpectedly weird, slightly emotional tale of puberty… look out MeiMei Cody was here first!
They unpack the nostalgia, the awkward transformations, and ask the important questions Disney never answered, all while laughing their way through one of the channel’s more forgotten coming-of-age experiments.

This week on Rice, Beans, and Scenes, we revisit Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and dive into why this film is far more than a goofy disguise flick, unpacking its surprisingly tender take on divorce, fatherhood, and showing up for the people you love.
We dive into the chaos, the wigs, the accents, and that unforgettable kitchen scene—because yes, it still hits. And at the center of it all is Robin Williams, delivering one of his most iconic performances: hilarious, heartbreaking, and impossibly human.
We talk about Williams’ unmatched ability to swing from comedy to vulnerability in a single breath, why Mrs. Doubtfire endures across generations, and how this movie quietly taught us that love doesn’t always look the way we expect—but it always shows itself.
