Editor’s note: Meet Lindsey and Bobby, two pop culture fanatics who’ll be sharing their date night movie picks with us each week. Check back next Friday for more!

Lindsey: HEY BOBBY

Bobby: HIYA LINDSEY! Did you see any good movies this past week?

Lindsey: Oh! I saw The Master because I just love being 10 miles behind the curve.

Bobby: What’d you think?

Lindsey: I hated it? It made me tired and bored? It’s gonna win all the Oscars?

Bobby: I don’t think it’ll win all the Oscars, but I was disappointed, too. I thought it was Fine. Basically, it needed more Laura Dern.

Lindsey: OMG It really did.

Bobby: BUT WE DIGRESS. The movies out this week range from WTF to Oscars contenders.

Lindsey: This is a great week, let me tell you.

Bobby: Paranormal Activity 4, Alex Cross, and The Sessions.

Lindsey: So, basically: all scary movies. Ghosts, Tom Cruise, Helen Hunt has sex with a man in an iron lung. Happy Halloween y’all!

Bobby: Alex Cross isn’t Tom Cruise! It’s TYLER PERRY.

Lindsey: THAT’S EVEN SCARIER.

Bobby: Tyler Perry NOT IN DRAG.

Lindsey: What’s the movie with the first name that’s coming out with Tom Cruise? JACK REACHER

Bobby: oh god

Lindsey: Now THAT will be a scary movie.

Bobby: That title makes me giggle

Lindsey: Anyway! back to Tyler Perry. Why is this happening to us! Is this the ONE TYLER PERRY MOVIE you won’t see?

Bobby: I’ll probably see it. But what I think is funniest is that he’s reviving a character originally played by Morgan Freeman.

Lindsey: That takes lots of balls. Lots of balls Tyler Perry definitely has. Those balls have been tucked away for so long, Bobby.

Bobby: Yeah, very Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Goodbye, Horses. So it’ll be worth it as a date movie in that way where you just compare the two of them after it’s over.

Lindsey: I would never do that. I think we can count that one out for the majority of our readers? See an old Madea movie! Which one would you recommend?

Bobby: Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion OR Tyler Perry’s The Family that Preys those are my two favorites.

Lindsey: Both available in trash cans near you!

Bobby: Rude. NEXT: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4

Lindsey: You know how I feel about a scary movie on a date. (It’s perfect!)

Bobby: Yeah, but the THIRD sequel? Too much. Not original enough.

Lindsey: What’s scary is scary though.

Bobby: But is this scary? how long will we be scared by night vision and closet doors that open and close VERY FORCEFULLY.

Lindsey: I don’t know about you, but I cried during FX’s American Horror Story. So, forever.

Bobby: OH, I DVR’d that. I’ll definitely watch.

Lindsey: It’s terrifying. Adam Levine’s arm gets ripped off MID ORAL SEX.

Bobby: SPOILER ALERT. BUT OK. Speaking of sex. THE SESSIONS.

Lindsey: The scariest movie of them all if you ask me.

Bobby: Man who had polio is a virgin at 38 and in an iron lung and helen hunt has sex with him. Apparently it’s very sweet and touching…IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

Lindsey: APPARENTLY. I’d rather not be touched by Helen Hunt.

Bobby: but yeah, this has a lot of acting Oscars buzz.

Lindsey: I watched Pay it Forward already tooooo many times.

Bobby: who doesn’t like John Hawkes?

Lindsey: Is that really the question to ask here?

Bobby: Maybe it’s a good date movie because it’ll give the couple iDeAs in the bedroom post-movie! “You just lie there and pretend to have polio”

Lindsey: Sounds like great advice. Well I loved Bubble Boy.

Bobby: Yep. I mean, “You just lie there and pretend that you HAD polio as a child and are now paralyzed from the neck down…But you can still FEEL ~down there~”

Lindsey: Okay Bob, we’ve heard enough about that. SO WHAT’S THE DECISION.

Bobby: I choose The Sessions, obviously.

Lindsey: And I would rather be terrified by surveillance cameras.

Bobby: If night vision scares you, see Paranormal Activity 5,403. If Polio Sex is kind of intriguing, see The Sessions.

Lindsey: Don’t forget Helen Hunt.

Bobby: It’s very easy to forget Helen Hunt.
