Falling in Love Montage

Mannequin (w/ MC Williams)

Last year we were listening to Rae Sremmurd and doing the Mannequin Challenge. Thirty years ago we were listening to Starship and watching Jonathan Switcher do the Mannequin.  FiLM is joined by special guest MC Williams of the Myths Your Teacher Hated podcast to discuss the 1987 re-telling of Pygmalion.  Join us for a healthy dose of chick-flick-nitpicks and Greek-geek-speak.

Girls Trip

Is it hot in here or is it just August? If you're looking for a breakout summer comedy that's got everything from urinating on a crowd to bootyhole-kush to sploshing, then look no further than 2017's Girls Trip. Oh, we should also mention it's a remarkably grounded narrative about friendship and a powerful portrayal of black women that audiences everywhere desperately want and deserve. Ryan, Sasha, Dina, and Lisa are characters we want to spend more time with.           

Frozen (w/ E. LaStar)

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, snow sister   In our first ever clean* episode, sisters Helen and Valerie talk about Disney's 2013 Frozen. Our special "guest Matt" will melt you like an Olaf by an open fire. *an earnest attempt to not say F**k and S**t

Snatched (w/ Karen Wurl)

Helen and Valerie are once again joined by their mother, Karen Wurl, for this belated Mother's Day treat. The three of them, now fully recovered from the emotional trauma of watching last year's Mother's Day (may you rest, sweet Garry), venture to Venture Cinema to watch 2017's comedy caper Snatched.

Four Weddings and a Funeral (w/ Owen Choules)

Falling in Love Montage is packing up the moon and dismantling the sun  for the Never-A-Bride™ June series is now over and done.  Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Owen Choules came by to put the podcast to bed.  The honor of your presence is requested by  Helen & Valerie together with their comrade family featuring Owen Choules of Classic Schmassic  

Bridesmaids

Here we are, week 3 of our month long Never-A-Bride spectacular. It's a little on the nose, but we're talking about Bridesmaids. Not as divisive as current U.S. politics, but Paul Feig manages to cause turbulence once again. That reminds me, "There's a colonial woman on the wing, there's something they're not telling us!"

My Best Friend’s Wedding

My Best Friend's Wedding is the second film in our four-week bonus, antithetical bridal month bonanza. That's right, every Monday in June we're going to deliver fresh cut podcast bouquets straight to your internet door. This is our vow* to you.   *inconspicuous details or conditions printed in an agreement or contract, what I'm saying is "we'll probably honor this vow"

Picture Perfect (w/ Erin Gambrill)

It's 1997 again so remember, if you've got to make a call, we brought our flip-phone. Helen and Valerie are joined by the divine and consummate Erin Gambrill of the Ladies Who Library podcast. We answer this burning question, "can you write a super bowl campaign and like a boy at the same time?"

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

20 years ago, two impressionable young women walked into a movie theater to watch Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and they pretty much haven't stopped talking about it since. Seeing as you might not have 20 years to listen to them talk about the film, they graciously condensed their discussion to just under 2 hours. Now, would you excuse me? I cut my foot before and my shoe is filling up with blood.

Man Up

Your FiLM podcast hosts are not completely on board with the much dated and gender awkward title of our thirty-third episode, Man Up. However, what they do like is the charming, thoughtful, and deliberate screenplay found in between the title page and FADE OUT.   Tess Morris sought out to make a clever and enjoyable romantic comedy and we think she succeeded. And to 'one up' her Man Up movie, she cast Simon Pegg—making a sturdy gamble that a few men would likely watch along as well.
