A Chick Flick Podcast
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.
It was Helen’s birthday this month, so this time, we covered a movie she wanted to cover! …Just like we pretty much always do, whoops.
Anyway, the movie Helen wanted to cover this time was the 2007 Disney spectacular Enchanted. Did we find it enchanting? It’s a safe bet to say we did, but obviously these notes are meant to promote the episode, so officially you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out!!
Oh, also, it’s finally getting a sequel later this year, so let’s pretend we knew that and planned it, going in.
What do you get when you cross an embarrassment of pandas with embarassing podcasters?
This. This is what you get.
We had a box full of kittens-like good time discussing Domee Shi’s 2022, unapologetically titled Pixar hit, Turning Red.
Here we are again, for the first time, talking about the Harold Ramis 1993 classic Groundhog Day. Does spring come early for the podcast? Listen and let us know if you hear a shadow.
