This week the girls chat about some of their favourite 90s movies, genres, and soundtracks that accompanied these movies.
Honestly, if you could find three more basic 90s bitches we would be very surprised. The girls love everything 90s and chat about some of the movies that they love. This will be part one of a probably never-ending series of parts where the girls chat about 90s movies.
But first, what were we drinking?

Sarah opened with some teen 90s movies she loved being Now & Then, one of our all-time favourites, and then moved onto one of the most popular teen movies of the time, She's all that. She then ended her segment with the cult teen flick Cry-baby, one of the best movies of all time.

The second film Bianca discussed was Hercules Returns.
Hercules returns - opens with a birds-eye view of Melbourne and pans over the iconic Flinders Street station.
Film buff Brad McBain (Argue), a frustrated employee of Australia's largest cinema chain, The Kent Corporation, quits his job and decides to set up and re-open the Picture Palace, a palatial disused cinema in St Kilda, Melbourne, to show classic old films in the old-fashioned style.
As a gimmick, he chooses the last picture that the cinema featured, Samson and His Mighty Challenge (an Italian film, originally released in 1964 as Ercole, Sansone, Maciste e Ursus: Gil invincibili). When the print arrives at the grand gala opening they discover that it is in unsubtitled Italian, and Brad suspects that his old boss, Sir Michael Kent (Carman), has in some way sabotaged the delivery so that McBain can fail at his achievement and keep Kent's business running successfully.
This calls for desperate measures and McBain, his projectionist Sprocket (Spence), and his publicist Lisa (Coustas) are forced to improvise voice-overs for the entire film with hilarious results. Kent (Carman) also attends the screening, hoping to see it fail. As he realizes that the crowd is enjoying the film, he storms up to the projection box. He and McBain fight just as the film reaches its climax; McBain breaks the fourth wall several times so that the fight in the projection box corresponds with the fight on the screen. Kent is knocked out, and the film is a huge success.
Amy finished off with a discussion about action movies and the actors who were redefined as action hero's after they featured in some action movies made in the 90s.
Amy also chatted about the prevalence of comedy in 90s action movies and some of the movies which better fit into the genre of action-comedy.
