No More Late Fees

Get ready to jingle all the way back to the ’90s and early 2000s with a holiday bonus episode that’s equal parts sugar rush and nostalgia overload. Jackie and Danielle unwrap childhood Christmas memories, iconic toys, and sour candy chaos in this festive installment of No More Late Fees.

In this cozy, laugh-filled episode, the hosts dive into a full-on Baby Bottle Pop taste test, revisiting classic flavors and trying new twists while reacting in real time. From there, the conversation spirals (in the best way) into childhood Christmas wish lists, toys we desperately wanted, toys we actually got, and the ones that still haunt us as adults. Expect deep nostalgia for mall madness, Barbies, American Girl dolls, Pound Puppies, and other defining ’90s and 2000s staples, along with plenty of side commentary and relatable millennial humor.

Jackie and Danielle also swap stories about family holiday traditions, Santa lore, and growing up with VHS tapes, home videos, and Christmas morning rituals. The episode wraps with a passionate discussion of favorite Christmas movies—especially the underrated, non-traditional picks—plus pop-culture hot takes that prove holiday viewing doesn’t have to be basic to be festive.

If you love nostalgic tangents, pop-culture trivia, behind-the-scenes memories, and candid fandom commentary, this holiday bonus is the perfect comfort listen.

Just in time for a nostalgic rewind, Jackie and Danielle head back to the mid-2000s to revisit Just Friends (2005), the Christmas-adjacent rom-com that defined an era of friend-zone discourse, chaotic comedy, and questionable life lessons.
In this episode of No More Late Fees, the hosts dig into the film’s legacy with their signature mix of humor and honest critique, breaking down what Just Friends got right, what absolutely did not age well, and why it still sparks strong opinions nearly two decades later. 
From Ryan Reynolds’ early rom-com persona to Anna Faris fully committing to unhinged pop-star chaos, Jackie and Danielle explore the performances, character dynamics, and tropes that made this movie unforgettable—for better or worse.
Along the way, they share behind-the-scenes trivia, production context, and pop-culture connections that place the film firmly in its early-2000s moment. Expect sharp character analysis, commentary on the infamous friend-zone narrative, discussions about humor through a modern lens, and plenty of fandom hot takes that balance nostalgia with critical reflection. As always, the episode wraps with Blockbuster-style ratings to see how their Y2K selves compare to their current takes.

When the undead rise and the mall gates come down, who’s on your survival squad? In this Spooky Season bonus episode of No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle ditch the rewind button and build the ultimate zombie crew—with returning favorite Anwar bringing peak chaos, hot takes, and unapologetic opinions.

In this nostalgic, laugh-out-loud episode, the hosts break down their dream apocalypse lineups using iconic characters from late ’90s and early 2000s movies, debating who would actually lead, who would panic immediately, and who’s getting sacrificed without hesitation. Along the way, they dive into zombie movie logic, horror tropes that make absolutely no sense, and the unspoken rules of surviving the end of the world. Expect sharp character analysis, pop-culture trivia, behind-the-scenes movie references, and plenty of fandom arguments about vampires, vigilantes, mall hideouts, and why vibes might matter more than brute strength.

The conversation spirals into nostalgic horror favorites, unexpected character picks, and the kind of friendship-fueled debates that only happen when you mix apocalypse hypotheticals with ex-Blockbuster employees who have seen some things. If you love zombie movies, pop-culture games, and unfiltered fandom commentary, this episode feels like hanging out with friends who take movie arguments way too seriously—in the best way.

When the undead start sprinting and the mall becomes the ultimate apocalypse hangout, Jackie and Danielle grab their metaphorical Blockbuster name tags and dive headfirst into the chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly emotional world of Dawn of the Dead (2004). From fast zombies to questionable survival instincts, this remake gives us plenty to chew on and the No More Late Fees crew is here to break it all down with their signature Y2K flair.

In this episode, the trio revisits Zack Snyder’s high-octane reimagining and unpacks everything from the unforgettable opening sequence to the mall-cop power struggle and the legendary rooftop friendship with Andy. They dig into the character dynamics—from Anna’s nonstop trauma and Kenneth’s quiet determination to Nicole’s questionable decision-making and Andre’s zombie-baby storyline—while sprinkling in behind-the-scenes fun facts, box-office trivia, and their own Y2K ratings rewind. Expect witty commentary, fandom hot takes, and nostalgic deep dives into the kind of early-2000s horror that defined an era.

Listeners will also hear:
• Trivia about the film’s tight budget, fast-zombie innovation, and practical effects
• A breakdown of iconic scenes like the bloated woman, the improvised rooftop games, and the unforgettable chainsaw moment
• Character analysis exploring relationships, motivations, and emotional arcs
• Hilarious commentary on mall survival logic, dog-rescue chaos
• A look at what still holds up, what definitely doesn’t, and how their original Blockbuster-era ratings compare to today’s takes

What happens when one hypnotic suggestion unlocks a nightmare you can’t shake? This week, Jackie and Danielle dive back into the eerie, underrated world of Stir of Echoes, the 1999 supernatural thriller that deserved way more love than it got. From Kevin Bacon’s unhinged electrician energy to ghostly clues, chaotic neighbors, and one very dramatic basement, the No More Late Fees duo is ready to break it all down with their signature nostalgic wit.

In this episode, the ladies revisit the film’s wild plot twists, behind-the-scenes trivia, and the horror-meets-small-town mystery that made Stir of Echoes stand out—despite being overshadowed by The Sixth Sense. They unpack sleepy Y2K memories, compare psychic kids across late-90s cinema, debate the film’s surprisingly heavy themes, and revisit that unforgettable final act. Along the way, you’ll hear character analysis, fandom hot takes, production facts, and plenty of Jackie-and-Danielle banter, including their love-hate relationship with the movie’s whiny wife, spooky sister-in-law, and OJ-obsessed Tom. Whether you’re rewatching the film or discovering it for the first time, this episode brings all the creepy, funny, nostalgic vibes straight from your old Blockbuster nights.

If you enjoy the show, don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe! Your support helps keep the late-fees nostalgia alive and ensures we can keep covering your favorite Y2K-era movies every week.
