A Chick Flick Podcast
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.
We go for an almost very traditional rom-com for the second week of Pride month, 2005’s Imagine Me & You. And who’s better to discuss this movie with us than the very people who first suggested it, one year ago? We’ve got our second fiance(e) guest pairing, gay best friends of the show, Allyson and Mariela!
We had a gay old time, and we hope you do too. You know, we want you to be happy. More than anything else, we want to be the cause of happiness in you.
And if you’re in Aurora, IL on June 17th, join Allyson and Mariela for Aurora’s first ever pride!
2! 4! 6! 8! No more Matt McConaughate!
8! 6! 4! 2! Love for LGBTQ(+)!
Happy Pride, FiLM buffs!
Queer stories have been neglected in our chosen genre and on our podcast for way too long; it’s time to parade them out and put them in the spotlight they deserve. And this is just the beginning.
For the first of our four Pride month entries, we’re talking about cult favorite But I’m a Cheerleader with our old friends Kat (whom you might remember from our Fifty Shades of Grey episode) and Whitney (whom you will likely eventually remember from our upcoming-on-date-TBD The Notebook episode). We talk about some pretty gay shit.
Welcome to our NOT AN EPISODE episode of I Feel Pretty!
We had the great privilege of being invited to discuss this film with the cast of The Feminine Mistake Podcast.
On the Feminine Mistake Podcast with Nicole, Sarah, and Hillary, we were able to be a part of a much richer and deeper discussion.
Every week, The Feminine Mistake Podcast and a guest take a critical look at how woman have been portrayed in film and television. Nicole, Sarah, and Hillary lead us through a discussion of the film, introduce some hot facts, and measure how the film holds up to the scrutiny of the Bechdel test and other litmuses for on-screen representation. One of my favorite segments is Nervous Breakdowns where guests and hosts read bad, misogynist casting breakdowns.

As you know, all month long in June, Falling in Love Montage will be releasing weekly episodes for Pride Month with our first episode out later this week. Thank you for your patience as we move slightly behind schedule. We truly can’t wait to share this next episode and hope you look forward to it too.
Well, folks, we did it.
You did it!
It’s done.
We collectively watched Matthew McConaughey’s least enjoyable movies (highly subjective statement, depending) and we survived. We just kept living — exactly as McConaughey dictated.
We planned a wedding, we moved out of Mom and Dad’s house, we visited the past and glimpsed the future, and now we are on one last treasure hunt — searching for GOLD!
Yes, you guessed it, Fool’s Gold!
Joining us on this bestests of quests is the bestests of guests and co-host of Stranger Still podcast, Jon Biegen. Jon will pirate your heart like he has ours and you’ll probably want to drop anchor at his harbor here and here.
And, if you’re observing, Happy McMorial Day! ?
Congratulations! If you listen to this episode, or even glance at it, you are three quarters through McConauMay. This would normally be a sad event but, having just watched Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, we’re feeling a little raw (maybe even hostile) right now.
The only thing that can rectify this mood is the company of our spectacular guest, Nick Wood.
Nick is a newcomer to our production and podcast network Flying Machine but an oldcomer to his hilarious and inquisitive podcast, Stranger Still, which he hosts with fellow spectacular human, Jon Biegen. You can also catch Nick yucking it up with his Dad on Limited Cell– A Generational Hanna-Barbera cartoon review show.
Please enjoy this episode as Helen, Valerie, and Nick single-handedly ruin his incredible wife’s Mother’s Day. There’s some humor in here and hopefully a bit of a catharsis too.
Just Keep Living!
