·14· Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

Matt Damon has been quoted saying, “A friend of mine said there are only three good sequels, The New Testament is better than the Old, Huck Finn is better than Tom Sawyer, and Godfather II is better than The Godfather.”

Podcasts are the best!

If you had $6,000 for every time we dragged you to a wedding, you’d have $6,000. But maybe you’d fall in love with us? Maybe you’d miss us, even if we never met? Maybe you’d give the money back, like Nick Mercer does. Follow along and find out what kind of wedding date you are.
*Featuring our special plus-one, Frances Chang
