    Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023): “God, Bras, and the Art of Growing Up”
    2025/01/07
    In this episode of Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt reminisce about the joys and horrors of adolescence through the lens of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. They celebrate the stellar acting of Abby Ryder Forston as Margaret, who navigates new friendships, puberty, and existential chats with God—all while rocking some hilariously retro ‘70s vibes. Matt marvels at how the film nails universal awkwardness, while Sophie recalls her own bra-buying debacles (to Matt’s mortification). Between laughs and nostalgia, they uncover the film’s relatable charm and its message: growing up is awkward, messy, and wonderfully human.

  • Mufasa: The Lion King (2024): "Lions, Lamentations, and Lin-Manuel"

    Mufasa: The Lion King (2024): "Lions, Lamentations, and Lin-Manuel"
    2024/12/31
    In this week’s Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt tackle Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, a prequel that takes the Lion King lore where no one asked it to go. From CGI lions singing with unsettling realism to Scar’s hilariously awkward attempts at romance, the film left them questioning whether this origin story added anything meaningful to the pride. With questionable rhymes and a lacklustre soundtrack from Lin-Manuel Miranda, they reflect on the movie's odd choices and ponder: does every Disney classic need an unnecessary spin-off?

  • Conclave (2024): “Cardinals, Crisps, and Cinema Shenanigans”

    Conclave (2024): “Cardinals, Crisps, and Cinema Shenanigans”
    2024/12/13
    In Episode 10 of Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt tackle Conclave, a movie about cardinals, secrets, and the high drama of papal elections. Matt admits to confusing the title with words like “concave,” while Sophie reveals she was mainly in it for the nachos. The duo dives into the film’s tense violin soundtrack, Ralph Fiennes’ trademark gravitas, and their bafflement over Stanley Tucci’s thick American accent as “Cardinal Bellini.” A rogue cinema-goer armed with the world’s loudest crisp packet nearly steals the spotlight, but ultimately, it’s all about stunning visuals and quirky, unexpected twists.

    Moana 2 (2024): "Where's the Magic?"
    2024/12/04

    This week on Can I Change My Score?, Sophie and Matt dive into Moana 2, a sequel that left them questioning: where’s the Disney magic? From puzzling animation choices (what’s going on with Moana’s lips?) to a team-building montage that felt more like a time-filler, the movie struggles to recapture the charm of its predecessor.


    The duo laments the forgettable songs, oversized biceps on Maui, and a villain who wasn’t really villainous—but hey, at least the water behaved. Packed with sharp observations, witty tangents, and a healthy dose of side-eye for toddlers in cinemas, this episode is a must-listen for Disney fans seeking laughs.
