Falling in Love Montage

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.

We now interrupt our regularly scheduled six-episode theme-song series to bring you this special holiday message: “Hell is a teenage girl”.

No tricks, just treats for our devoted listeners.
Happy bonus episode day/Jennifer’s Body day/Halloween!
Stay salty!

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.

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!

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.
