A Chick Flick Podcast
It’s November for a few more hours, and we are thankful to be here with you, talking about another problematic (!) fave (?), 1999’s Never Been Kissed. We shouldn’t say this because we’re your teacher hosts, but it’s totally rufus.
Sorry in advance for Helen’s questionable audio — she was recording on an iPhone from a frilly pink bedroom in South Georgia.
Happy N[e]vember Been Kissed! Nailed it.
Years ago, a pair of sisters came together on Halloween to talk about Hocus Pocus. We thought the story ended there. We were wrong.
Those lovable sisters are back, making magic, once again, because Disney dug up the past with Hocus Pocus 2, and like a bajilliondy people watched it, and we figured, One Way or Another, we could get some easy spooky-month downloads. Itchita kupita melaka mystika.
Hocus Pocus 2 is currently streaming on Disney+.

This time Valerie‘s just getting over COVID, and she still managed to watch, talk about, and edit an entire podcast episode on the Definitely Underrated Fun Film, 2015’s The DUFF.
Whether we say it directly or not, both of us are still a little bit waiting to see if and when Mary Poppins will fly down to us and reveal we are secretly princesses.
What we are in the meantime is chick-flick podcasters, so this month we decided to podcast about the 2001 chick flick The Princess Diaries. It’s also our third Disney film this year, and our third Sandra Oh film this year, so. Yeah. Happy August, commoners listeners.
If you’ve been spontaneously crying as of late, and want more of that, this is the podcast episode for you.
It’s the last day of Pride month, and while we have failed to deliver a focused conversation about a piece of queer cinema, we are delivering on our mother’s dying (to be determined) wish to discuss a personal favorite of her’s – thus, a house-hold favorite of ours and a staple of our childhood — 1995’s Sense and Sensibility.
We are joined by our best friend/Jane Austin correspondent, Tracy Tanoff, for a (some may say) overlong celebration of Emma Thompson’s adaptation. Catch Tracy streaming here: https://youtube.com/channel/UCTW4vTLi-wK5QEe14SI9keQ, and catch us crying eternally, everywhere.
We put this month’s movie up to a vote, and if the votes told us anything, it’s that 1 thing you hated about us is that we hadn’t covered the classic ’99 teen rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You yet.
Well, now we have. Helen’s bestie Jan Thrapp joins us again to talk about Shakespeare, our motives behind the various colors of underwear we possess, and Andrew Keegan’s California cult. And we maybe introduce a new FiLM award.
10 Things I Hate About You is currently streaming on Disney+. Check your local animal shelters for information about fostering animals.
