Third in our six-episode theme-song series is 2004’s Mean Girls. Joining us in this almost completely on topic, never meandering discussion is Vanessa Riley of the Square Roots podcast.
I know you expect me to now work in some memorable lines from the film, but relax Glen CoCo, we do that plenty in the episode.
·46· She’s All That
Be silent. Be still. Be silent. Be still. Be silent. Be still.
For the second episode in our theme-song series, we took on the archetypical teen rom-com, She’s All That. For this one we’ve returned to our classic format — meaning it’s just Helen and Valerie and a Matt, and the episode itself is at least 20% longer than the movie we were talking about.

·45· Clueless
If you’ve ever wondered what the hell Helen is singing about in her original Falling in Love Montage theme song, then be buggin’ no longer.
Starting with episode 45, Clueless, we will tackle all six movies referenced in the theme song.
It’s going to be Phat!
We’ve called a truce and brought Val’s Matt back (after he was totally wiggin’ on Bridesmaids).
Also joining us is our *official* Jane Austen correspondent, Tracy Tanoff!
·44· Emma
For our first (but not last) time covering a Jane Austen adaptation, we knew we needed to rope in someone better read, smarter, and generally superior to us — so we nabbed Superfan Tracy Tanoff! We rode through the rain* to tell you about the Gwyneth Paltrow Emma, easily the second-best adaptation of the novel Emma made in 1995-1996.
*metaphorically.**
**No, not even.
·43· Pillow Talk & Down With Love
Ladies’ man, man’s man, man about town, Ollie Brady (one-half of the Best Acquaintances Podcast) joins Helen and Valerie for a double dose of *’60s sex comedies. They talk the Pillow Talk and walk the Down With Love **walk.
Tune in ‘a la carte’ for this v. v. good time.
*in theory (1959/2003)
**basically walking with an erection
·42· Mannequin
Last year we were listening to Rae Sremmurd and doing the Mannequin Challenge. Thirty years ago we were listening to Starship and watching Jonathan Switcher do the Mannequin.
FiLM is joined by special guest MC Williams of the Myths Your Teacher Hated podcast to discuss the 1987 re-telling of Pygmalion.
Join us for a healthy dose of chick-flick-nitpicks and Greek-geek-speak.
