Falling in Love Montage

Irish Wish (w/ Sarah Norton)

Dog mom, (cool) Disney adult, and generally fabulous person* Sarah K. Norton joins us as we travel, with Netflix's help, to Ireland for summer vacation. Will Lindsay Lohan's Maddie end up with the European faux Property Brother, or will she end up with Jimmy from Downton Abbey? Will she ever write the great Irish-American novel? Will she fall off the Cliffs of Moher, hit her head, and end up in Falling for Christmas again? *and presumptive new Lindsay Lohan correspondent! Check out Sarah and her husband's podcast Never Grow Up! Donate or learn more about Equality Florida here.

Connie and Carla

Two musical-loving, straight-passing white women extend their lives by wading deep into drag culture in this Pride episode in which Helen and Valerie cover the 2004 romp Connie and Carla, the largely forgotten Nia Vardalos rom-com in which two musical-loving, straight-passing white women extend their lives by wading deep into drag culture. Donate to Fanaticure's June 2024 Pride charity drive for Equality Florida here. Since June is almost up, we at FiLM will also be donating $1 to Equality Florida for each July 2024 download of this episode. Thank you for your support!  Fanaticure can also be found on Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and on her podcast Two Lacquered Ladies.   

Singles

Welcome to Debbie Country, where Cameron Crowe is the next Martin Scorceez and the podcast hosts are admittedly pretty biased in their fervent -- albeit grungy and nostalgic -- love of the 1992 romantic comedy Singles.  Reach out in the Falling in Love Montage Podcast group on Facebook if you want to be an early investor in our musical adaptation (don't tell Cameron 🤫)!

How Stella Got Her Groove Back

Cohost Helen has gotten her own groove mostly back after having to skip March, and we are finally here with 1998's How Stella Got Her Groove Back. We haven't covered an adaptation of a work by the iconic and complicated Terry McMillan since we talked Waiting to Exhale in episode six, so if you yourself were waiting until now to exhale, we hope you've been resting peacefully these last eight years. We had a lot of thoughts and feelings about this one, but we still managed to keep this conversation under 90 minutes -- you hear that, everyone involved in bringing How Stella Got Her Groove Back to the screen??

Re-Patreon M.A.S.H

It's March y'all, officially Spring, so in honor of that, we're going to spring a surprise on you and switch up our regularly scheduled programing. We're looking forward to discussing the 1998 McMillan classic How Stella Got Her Groove Back, but in the interim, please enjoy a throwback from August 2019 when we were on our beloved podcast network, Flying Machine.

Valentine’s Day

Leap year only comes around every four years, and this year -- our 8th anniversary -- marks the second leap year we've experienced as a podcast. We couldn't think of a better time to finally bring you an enthusiastic discussion of the oft-mentioned 2010 rom-com Leap Year -- but we didn't do that. Instead, we're here with an enraged dialog about the best-forgotten 2010 rom-bomb Valentine's Day. The movie about the holiday Valentine's Day. The one that happens every year. Enjoy. ❤️

The Notebook

It's the 20th anniversary of the beloved film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's The Notebook, and that means we and our podcast are really old, and that means it's time to finally cover this movie.  Join us as we ascend the figurative ferris wheel that is this 2004 romance. Do our pants get pulled down? Do we fall in love? Has this metaphor already worn itself out? 

The Christmas House

For a podcast that has never covered a Hallmark movie in its 7+ years of existence, our fans sure love to throw Hallmark holiday movie memes and articles our way. Now it's our turn -- see how much you like it* when we throw Hallmark holiday movie content at you, haha!  Yes, for this holidaymonth, we are talking about the holly-jolly, gay-appareled, made-for-TV stone-cold Hallmark masterpiece, The Christmas House. Is it destined to be a holiday classic, or is it merely a 90-minute makeover montage? Unwrap this gift and find out! *we hope a lot

Legally Blonde (w/ Vanessa Riley)

Aristotle and Holland Taylor once said, "The law is reason, free from passion." Valerie and Helen once said, "Oh man, we really should cover Legally Blonde at some point."  And six or so years later, here we are -- covering 2001's beloved Legally Blonde with long-overdue repeat guest, beloved Vanessa Riley from The Square Roots Podcast.  Habeas corpus! 

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (w/ Tracy Tanoff)

To round out our whirlwind 2023 sampling of various Bennet and Darcy types (a Darcuterie, if you will), we've brought back our bestie and official Austen correspondent Tracy Tanoff for the third time/adaptation this year. Spooky month brings us to our likely last Pride and Prejudice for the foreseeable future -- the 2016 action-comedy-horror-chick-flick Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  Will Charlotte become a zombie? Will love conquer all? Is Helen a dirty Wickham apologist?? Find out on this month's exciting episode! Find Tracy on Bluesky at @haveloved.bsky.social, and hear more Tracy on this year's episodes on Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Fire Island, or our other classic Austen episodes, Emma (1996) and Sense and Sensibility. Our spooky theme song was put together by the very talented Jon Biegen -- you can find him at @jonbiegen on all socials.
