·52· Wonder Woman

January 9, 2018 No Comments

Happy New Year!

We could think of no better way to ring in 2018 than to watch one of the best things about 2017 — Wonder Woman. And we could think of no better person to discuss it with at incredible length* than our podcast sweetheart, #1 fan, and male counterpart (and previous guest) Ryan Lynch. And we could think of no better “Matt” to consult than Ryan’s own (non-Matt) very best half, Ariel Azzara.

Check out all of Ryan’s podcasts — We’ll Get it Right Next Year: An Adventure in Cinema (for which Helen is the Etta Candy) and Comrade sister-casts Divisive Issues and Oops, I Talked Politics, both also available at frondsradio.com — and hit up Ariel on the internet to find out where you can send her tons of money for her upcoming wedding.

·50· Titanic part I

December 18, 2017 No Comments

20 years ago tomorrow, people poured into theaters to see James Cameron’s epic romance-disaster film, Titanic.

Just last week, Helen, Valerie, and two fellas named Matt shelled out a ton of cash, donned some serious 3D shades, and relaxed into their reclining movie theater seats for 195 minutes of Helen preciously reciting every line of Titanic. For the record, this is the preferred way to see Titanic.

What happens now is part 1 of a very special 2 part episode, closing out FiLM’s six-episode theme-song series, and our 2017 schedule.

Don’t let go!

·49· Love Actually

November 27, 2017 No Comments

The penultimate episode of our six-episode theme-song series has arrived and—if you’re looking at your DVD packaging—its got a freaking bow on it. You’re welcome!
Best Acquaintances Podcast co-host and greatest person currently alive, Emily Bennett, joins us for a jovial conversation about one of the most irritating and (yet somehow) endearing of all romantic holiday films. And if that didn’t give it away, it’s Love Actually folks. We’re talking about Love Actually.

·48· Jerry Maguire

November 13, 2017 No Comments

While this episode is the fourth in a series of like episodes, i.e. our six-episode theme-song series, it is the first of its kind in many ways.

1996’s Jerry Maguire is both our first ‘sports’ film and our first time welcoming two guests. FiLM favorite, Ariel brings charm, wit, and also her fiance, Ryan Lynch of We’ll Get it Right Next Year: An Adventure in Cinema, and Comrade Radio’s own Divisive Issues and Oops, I Talked Politics to this decades-old tale of being a better person than you were yesterday while still making a shit ton of money for yourself and other people. It’s a classic.
