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.

Fellas, grab your watermelons; ladies, shake your maracas; college boys, put your pickles on everyone's plates; AND for crying out loud Baby, don't step on the one! Helen and Valerie shave 2 hours off of their Dirty Dancing discussion only to be left with --- 2 more hours?!?!     So let's join in just one last chorus, Listeners, Matts and guests. What we've shared won't be forgotten, Podcasts are the best!

We're super into you. As such, we've been taking this relationship slow. We waited seven episodes to introduce you to our mother and now, after ten episodes, we're inviting you to a wedding. If you had $6,000 for every time we dragged you to a wedding, you'd have $6,000. But maybe you'd fall in love with us? Maybe you'd miss us, even if we never met? Maybe you'd give the money back, like Nick Mercer does. Follow along and find out what kind of wedding date you are.  *Featuring our special plus-one, Frances Chang

Cut your hair, grab your bag, and come along with us on a 2 hour adventure to South Port, North Carolina where young, white people fall in love. Helen and Valerie spoil the double plot twist in this surprisingly fun lady thriller adapted from, I can't believe it, a Nicholas Sparks novel. Third plot twist, we loved it!

This is Garry Marshall's gift to mothers over 60. If you're younger than 60, please wait to go see Bad Moms, that movie is probably less racist.  We took our own mother to see this and she still loves us in spite of it.  Happy Mother's Day!

We made it no secret that this was not our favorite watch. We also tried as best we could to reserve judgement against the multitudinous fans of the Fifty Shades series. However, when a film serves up a male love interest that says the following lines, we quickly spew our safe word and run toward the nearest exit.
There are some people who say that I don't have a heart at all. So is he your boyfriend? I saw the way he was smiling at you. I don't do the girlfriend thing. Necrophilia's not my thing. I had Taylor pick you up some clothes. Yours were covered in vomit. I don't do romance. I'm not going to touch you until I have your written consent. It's called a flogger. Not full time, just Friday through to Sunday. You're biting your lip. Hold out your wrists. That's not really my thing. Try not to get hung up on sleeping arrangements. I was her submissive for six years. But your body tells me something different. Did you just roll your eyes at me? Your biting your lip, you know what that does to me. Turn around. When were you going to tell me about Georgia? You're mine. All mine. Understand? I would never do anything to you that you couldn't handle. Bend over. I'm going to hit you six times, and you're going to count with me. Please don't hate me. I'll send you a check.- Christian Grey

Waiting to Exhale

In this episode we go long and deep—which is more than we can say for Michael, Lionel, and Troy #lols. Friendship perseveres and this film grasps hard at what it means to be a woman. Listen to it 732 times...or light it on fire...but maybe at least listen to it once, first. #feelthebernie

If you don't have a strong opinion about Eminem then you have a lot in common with Jenna Rink. Go back in time and then forward in time and then back in time and then to present day with us, your hosts, Helen and Valerie, in this fun wish fulfillment chick flick.  It will be fabuloso.

In accord with this, arguably, too long movie — we present this, arguably, too long podcast episode. Also harmonious to the movie, there will be sisters and champagne.
