Falling in Love Montage

For Valerie’s  ~b i r t h  m o n t h~ we are covering the maybe universally beloved but also possibly largely unknown (?? we don’t know!) romantic drama classic (???) Untamed Heart.
We have a great time talking about this ’90s gem that’s a little bit urban Nicholas Sparks, a little bit Moulin Rouge/Tarzan/Splash, and all schmaltzy Christian Slater Nature Boy, all the time.

Dog mom, (cool) Disney adult, and generally fabulous person* Sarah K. Norton joins us as we travel, with Netflix’s help, to Ireland for summer vacation. Will Lindsay Lohan’s Maddie end up with the European faux Property Brother, or will she end up with Jimmy from Downton Abbey? Will she ever write the great Irish-American novel? Will she fall off the Cliffs of Moher, hit her head, and end up in Falling for Christmas again?

*and presumptive new Lindsay Lohan correspondent!

Two musical-loving, straight-passing white women extend their lives by wading deep into drag culture in this Pride episode in which Helen and Valerie cover the 2004 romp Connie and Carla, the largely forgotten Nia Vardalos rom-com in which two musical-loving, straight-passing white women extend their lives by wading deep into drag culture.

Welcome to Debbie Country, where Cameron Crowe is the next Martin Scorceez and the podcast hosts are admittedly pretty biased in their fervent — albeit grungy and nostalgic — love of the 1992 romantic comedy Singles. 

Reach out in the Falling in Love Montage Podcast group on Facebook if you want to be an early investor in our musical adaptation (don’t tell Cameron 🤫)!

Cohost Helen has gotten her own groove mostly back after having to skip March, and we are finally here with 1998’s How Stella Got Her Groove Back. We haven’t covered an adaptation of a work by the iconic and complicated Terry McMillan since we talked Waiting to Exhale in episode six, so if you yourself were waiting until now to exhale, we hope you’ve been resting peacefully these last eight years.

We had a lot of thoughts and feelings about this one, but we still managed to keep this conversation under 90 minutes — you hear that, everyone involved in bringing How Stella Got Her Groove Back to the screen??
