Falling in Love Montage

What do Batman, E from Entourage, Rachel Green, Black Widow, the Hangover guy, Officer Hopps, the Mac, and Academy Award-winning actor Jennifer Connelly have in common?
They are all in this movie that we’re just not that into, spoilers! ?

The long-anticipated cross-over episode is here! Okay, it’s not technically a cross-over, maybe it’s just an episode we’ve been dying* to do with a guest we’ve been dying to have.

Lawrence Kasdan’s 1999 Mumford offers no exception to deception and this entire character-driven comedy/drama/maybe chick-flick(?) hinges on one man’s lie. Here to help us interrogate this movie is the mayor of Liar City and my** best friend, Brian Flanagan.

Prepare for more conflict in the episode than the movie. Sisters Helen and Valerie, wait for it, have strong and different opinions about this film!?!?! WHAT!?!?!

Helen describes Dr. Mumford as a “lovable fraud” and Valerie applauds him for demonstrating that generally, the nicest thing you can do for someone is listen to them.

☝?That’s a suggestion folks, you should listen to us ?

*No podcasters actually died during or for this episode
** Who’s that girl? It’s Jess Valerie!

Two years ago we talked about Dirty Dancing.
One year ago a dear listener emailed us to request we cover Dirty Dancing’s 2004 sequel.
And just one week ago we finally watched Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and got together to talk about it.
This is that talk. You’ll be happy to know — it’s less than four hours.
Beloved friend/superfan/Jane Austen correspondent Tracy Tanoff joins us for the not-so-heavily contested debate of whether Havana Nights should get the illustrious Houseman Trophy ? — and if we should rename it the “Miller Trophy,” after our Havana heroine Katey Miller (spoiler-hint: yeah nah).

We truly missed you and to prove it, we are serenading you with these handpicked* 21 ABBA songs. Podcast legend and Ghost of Girlfriends Past survivor, Nick Wood, joins us to dish and dance and jive. Seriously guys, we were having the time of our lives. Dig in, you dancing queen!

To close out Pride month, we are appropriately proud to bring you something a little bit different. Not so much chick, not so much flick — we wanted to spotlight a new queer web series currently streaming on Amazon, After Forever.

Joining us for the entire discussion is costar of the series Mitchell Anderson, known also as the founder of Atlanta’s great MetroFresh restaurant, Ross Werkman on Party of Five, and one of the sexiest TV doctors of the last 20 years (People, 2005), among other things.

We were delighted and honored to have Mitchell on to talk about this great short series, his experience as an out actor in the television industry, and yes, his favorite chick flicks. Easily one of the sexiest podcast guests of the last 20 years (Falling in Love Montage, 2018).

It’s listener’s choice this time as we delve into the bi-curious indie rom-com Kissing Jessica Stein.

Super-fan/friend Lauren DeBlasi (of upcoming podcasts TBD and also TBD!) joins us as we joyfully unpack Jessica Stein’s considerable baggage. We think she’s a very nice girl.
