  • One Fine Day
    Mar 17 2026

    Two single parents, one chaotic Manhattan day, and a rom-com that asks: what if the worst day of your life turned into the start of something magical? Jackie and Danielle celebrate Jackie’s birthday by revisiting the 90s rom-com classic One Fine Day—the film where George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer juggle careers, kids, and absolute New York City chaos.

    On this episode of No More Late Fees, the former Blockbuster employees dive back into the fast-paced 1996 romantic comedy to see if this underrated gem still delivers the charm. Between missed field trips, runaway goldfish, and a city-wide parenting relay across Manhattan, Jackie and Danielle unpack the movie’s funniest moments, most relatable parenting struggles, and the undeniable chemistry between its two leads. The hosts also share personal nostalgia tied to the film, including why this movie has become Jackie’s unofficial birthday tradition.

    Along the way, they break down fascinating behind-the-scenes trivia—from the surprising actors who were originally considered for the lead roles to the real story behind how George Clooney landed the part. They also discuss Roger Ebert’s less-than-enthusiastic review, the film’s competitive 90s box office landscape, and how One Fine Day captures a very specific “New York day” energy that makes the movie feel both chaotic and cozy. Expect witty commentary, character analysis, nostalgic tangents, and plenty of fandom hot takes about Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic “magic bag,” Mae Whitman stealing every scene, and why this rom-com still resonates decades later.

    If you enjoy nostalgic movie deep dives and revisiting the best (and sometimes most chaotic) films of the late 90s and early 2000s, be sure to subscribe to No More Late Fees, leave a review, and share the episode with your fellow rom-com lovers.

    Mar 10 2026

    This week on No More Late Fees, Danielle and Jackie are joined by returning guest Maria (host of Maria Watches Everything) to revisit the 1999 rom-com Blast From the Past starring Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone.

    After being raised in a fallout shelter for 35 years, Adam Weber finally emerges into the late-90s world with perfect manners, old-school charm, and absolutely no idea how modern society works. When he meets Eve, a street-smart woman trying to navigate life in Los Angeles, the two form an unlikely connection while Adam searches for supplies, and maybe even love.

    We dive into Brendan Fraser’s unforgettable performance, the movie’s fish-out-of-water comedy, 90s nostalgia, and whether this underrated rom-com still holds up today.

    Plus we discuss:

    • Our original Y2K ratings vs today

    • Brendan Fraser’s career

    • Alicia Silverstone post-Clueless era

    • The stacked 1999 box office

    • That iconic swing dancing scene

  • Disney’s Most Chaotic Dinner Party Draft
    Mar 5 2026

    Pull up a chair and brace yourself for chaos—because Jackie and Danielle are drafting the most unhinged Disney dinner party imaginable. From villains who maybe had a point to cartoon crushes that rewired our brains, this episode is pure Golden Era Disney mayhem with peak Y2K energy.


    In this nostalgic, witty roundtable, the No More Late Fees hosts are joined by their friend Laura to play the Golden Era Disney Chaos Dinner Party game, pulling characters from Disney animated films, live-action favorites, and DCOMs released between 1995 and 2005. The conversation spirals—in the best way—into character analysis, fandom confessions, and hot takes that will absolutely start arguments. They debate which Disney characters are certified instigators, who would definitely break something expensive, which villains were secretly right all along, and which characters launched a thousand crushes back in the Blockbuster era.


    Along the way, Jackie and Danielle sprinkle in behind-the-scenes trivia, pop-culture context, and hilarious side tangents, including nightmare animal transformations, cartoon baddies worth defending, and the kind of nostalgia that only late-90s and early-2000s Disney kids truly understand. It’s conversational, chaotic, and packed with the kind of fandom discourse that feels like hanging out in the aisles of Blockbuster after closing time.

  • The Emperor's New Groove
    Mar 3 2026

    What do you get when Disney ditches the princesses, skips the love story, and turns its emperor into a llama? Pure Y2K chaos. This week, Jackie and Danielle are getting their groove back with a nostalgic deep dive into The Emperor’s New Groove—the fast-talking, fourth-wall-breaking comedy that quietly became a millennial cult classic.


    In this episode of No More Late Fees, your favorite former Blockbuster besties break down how this 2000 Disney animated movie went from a dramatic Sting-scored epic to a slapstick comedy powered by David Spade’s sarcasm and Eartha Kitt’s iconic villain energy. They revisit Kuzco’s surprisingly effective character arc, debate whether Yzma is actually the real boss of the kingdom, and give Kronk the respect he deserves as one of Disney’s greatest comedic sidekicks. Expect sharp character analysis, behind-the-scenes production trivia, box office tea, critic reviews, and hilarious commentary on everything from KuzcoTopia to spinach puffs.


    The conversation also dives into the film’s experimental place in early 2000s Disney history, the scrapped original version (Kingdom of the Sun), the casting what-ifs, and how this movie holds up for modern audiences. With Y2K ratings, present-day rewatches, fandom hot takes, and plenty of witty banter, this episode is a love letter to late ’90s and early 2000s nostalgia.


    If you grew up quoting this movie—or you’re watching it for the first time—this is the ultimate Emperor’s New Groove podcast review you didn’t know you needed.

  • Connie and Carla
    Feb 24 2026

    Two best friends, ex-Blockbuster employees, and one wildly underrated 2004 comedy—this week, we’re belting our hearts out and dodging mobsters as we revisit Connie and Carla. Grab your wigs and warm up your vocal cords, because this cult favorite is pure show-tune chaos.


    In this episode of No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle are joined by special guest Kyle Ridley to break down Connie and Carla, the campy, big-hearted musical comedy that blends Broadway dreams, drag performance, and found family energy. What starts as dinner-theater desperation turns into an unexpected reinvention—and we’re unpacking why this movie meant so much to theater kids, queer audiences, and anyone who ever committed way too hard to “the bit.”


    We dive into behind-the-scenes trivia, including the film’s box office struggles, soundtrack choices, and why it may have been ahead of its time in pre–Drag Race, early-2000s Hollywood. We analyze the characters and performances—especially the powerhouse pairing of Nia Vardalos and Tony Collette—and explore the film’s themes of friendship, self-acceptance, and chosen family. Along the way, we share nostalgic memories, fandom hot takes, Broadway references, and plenty of laugh-out-loud commentary.


    From drag disguises and jazz hands to cult-classic status and missed marketing opportunities, this episode celebrates Connie and Carla as a joyful, messy love letter to musical theater and unapologetic self-expression.


    If you love nostalgic movie rewatches, 90s and 2000s pop-culture deep dives, and cozy chaos with strong opinions, make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode with a friend who would absolutely headline a dinner theater in a wig.
