Falling in Love Montage
Every other week, Valerie and Helen will look at a different chick flick (muff film, broad comedy, lady thriller, period movie, whathaveyou) and boil it down to its themes and how those themes affect our tender feminine emotions. Mostly we'll just go off on tangents about Sex and the City. We'll talk about chick flick tropes, like love triangles/squares/pentagons and sisterhood. We'll explore just how strong girl power actually is and if real vampires sparkle in the sunlight, or if that's just movie magic. And we'll reveal our (Helen's) repressed sexual feelings for Hugh Grant. We'll get a dude's opinion, and we'll even listen to it.

Give it up for the one and (likely) only time we'll get to discuss a Coen brother's film on Falling in Love Montage. We like to stay flexible, and this is a very comfortable stretch for us as we, and special guest Malcolm Nygard, have a rich and uproarious conversation about Intolerable Cruelty. Are you asking yourself where you have heard Malcolm's intoxicating voice before? Maybe you recall it from our new bumper? (Psst! We joined a podcast network earlier this month!) Or maybe you are already a fan of or subscriber to the Comrade Radio Network? If you aren't already, you can hear more from Malcolm on his show Apoc Radio and the Comrade Radio Podcast.

In this, our third clip episode, you'll hear bits and pieces from Ghostbusters, Jane Eyre, Bridget Jones's Baby, Crank, While You Were Sleeping, and Overboard. I feel it is only fair to remind you that we absorbed a whole lot of acute sexism during our Ghostbusters research and then, the next thing you know, it was November and our fragile little female bodies and minds were very, very weary. One of my favorite podcasts recently made a disclaimer about choosing to be neutral when it comes to politics. I was very happy for him that he and his co-host were lucky enough to feel they had such a choice. Listeners, for as long as females are marginalized, we do not have that choice and I truly hope you can enjoy our programming and our points of view.

Welcome to our thirtieth episode—and our first episode as part of the Comrade Radio family! We are majorly, totally, butt-crazy in love with this new undertaking. Also of equal excitement is the announcement of our special guest, Nicole Kemper of 'The Feminist Mistake podcast' and 'Critical Crop Top'. Nicole writes, directs, produces, and stars in some of Atlanta's premiere sketch comedy and web series.

Can you guess the name of this film solely from a peak at Helen's note taking? 1) She's shaking her vag-heart right at him 2) Coughing equals death 3) Was he the most masturbated about man at this time? (look that up!) Give up? Need context? Well, it's Moulin Rouge of course!

I've pulled these two quotes that, I believe, fully color the movie, Bend it Like Beckham. "There is a history of seeing difference, in terms of culture (...) as problematic. For me, difference is celebratory." - Gurinder Chadha (writer, director) "This movie kicks balls" - Matt LaStar (Ask A Matt)

FiLM podcast is back with a full episode and we're discussing the 2005 feature film Hitch. Joining us is a special guest, Jessie Cooper. He is the host and co-host of such podcasts as 'Turn to Page', 'Alphabet Flight', 'Random Sampling', and 'Me, Last Year'. Join the three of us as we successfully keep from making a single joke about "getting jiggy" with anything, well up until right now.

These podcasters do more than watch movies, call actors by the wrong name, and go off on tangential rants. OR DO THEY? Outtakes, bloopers, and anecdotes about your favorite and least favorite chick flicks are just one chick-click away.

In this episode, Helen observes some stunning parallels between Overboard and James Cameron's Titanic, meanwhile Valerie fetishizes macaroni necklaces and Matt observes the many unromantic themes the film would rather you ignore. Oh—and Happy New Year!

"While you were sleeping, on your brother I was creeping" Those are just some of the lines from an epically bad rap, written by Valerie and inspired by the 1995 film While You Were Sleeping. If you'd like to hear more of that rap, start getting her drunk like right now. If you'd like to hear special guest Heather Hooks delight the ever-loving shit out of us, start listening like RIGHT NOW.

Chev Chelios may never be a bride. He may never land the DeLauer Diamond or Gulden's Mustard accounts. Chev may never stand on the pitcher's mound of a high school baseball field waiting to be kissed in front of the entire student body. Chev Chelios may never do any of these things thanks to that back-stabbing bitch, Ricky Verona. Oh, and also, Chev may die or something, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I don't think they'll be friends again. Join Helen and Valerie as they are joined by 'The Matts' [both of them!] for a head scratching look inside "the other kind of date movie". Hint, it's a light flow day.
