Rice, Beans, and Scenes

Titanic (1997)

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.

Free Willy (1993)

Ready for some childhood nostalgia? This week on Rice, Beans & Scenes, we’re talking Free Willy—a movie filled with big emotions, bigger jumps, and one very suspicious whale. Join us as we ponder one very important question... was that whale real or not!?

Muppet Treasure Island (1996)

This week on Rice, Beans, and Scenes, we dive into Muppet Treasure Island—where pirates sing, chaos reigns, and somehow Tim Curry is the most normal one on screen. 

Episode 008 - Saving Silverman

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!

Episode 07 - Disney Channel Original Movie - My Thirteenth Year

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.

Episode 05 - Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

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.

Episode 04 - Halloween Double Feature: Interview with a Vampire & The Monster Squad

This week on Rice, Beans, and Scenes, Andrew (“Beans”) sinks his teeth into Interview with the Vampire—a guilty pleasure story for sure—while Sarah (“Rice”)… politely regrets ever pressing play. Then they cleanse the palate with The Monster Squad, an 80s creature-feature romp that brings out Beans’ nostalgia and Rice’s fun commentary. It’s fangs, friendship, and full Halloween energy as the duo battle it out over brooding vampires and cheer for a squad of monster-fighting misfits. Tune in for the banter, stay for Rice’s brutally honest reactions.

Episode 02 - The Shawshank Redemption

In this episode of Rice, Beans, and Scenes, Andrew and Sarah unpack The Shawshank Redemption, exploring why this film continues to resonate decades after its release. Andrew offers deep insight into its themes of hope, justice, and quiet rebellion, while Sarah recaps her very first viewing of this masterpiece bringing thoughtful observations about the characters, emotional arcs, and the power of unlikely friendship.
