A Chick Flick Podcast
It’s been 25 years since the globally beloved Miss Congeniality came out, and it’s been 9 years since this only-just-slightly-less-globally-beloved podcast first started. And I don’t really remember where I was going with that, but that’s the timeline.
Anyway, we’re finally bringing you what you really want — a frank, 2-hour discussion of the Sandra Bullock beauty pageant classic, and eventually, somehow, world peace.
It is March, and we are sisters, and that technically makes us March sisters.
So this time the “March sisters” pulled in an extra honorary sister to finally fall into the warm embrace of Greta Gerwig’s Little Women (2019). Joining us is Shannon Campe of Little Women: A Modern Audio Drama, whose expertise and contagious fanaticism have helped us realize we were no longer little girls.

When we covered Bridget Jones’s Diary for our first-ever episode on Galentine’s Day in 2016, we couldn’t have known the world would give us the incredible gift of a fourth Bridget Jones movie on our very anniversary nine years later. But that’s where fate finds us today, watching Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy — happy, heartbroken, and humbled that we have gotten to do this for going on ten years now.
It’s a new year and, ugh, a new world, and to celebrate and distract from that, we’ve brought you the absolutely bonkers bouquet that is Tom Hooper’s infamous 2019 masterwork Cats.
While taking on this movie was no small feat, it was an incredibly easy choice* — this episode is dedicated to the memory of James Petrosky, a magnificent person, friend to the show, and the greatest advocate for Cats (2019) this side of the Russell Hotel.
*And yes, a Jellicle one as well
If so moved, you can donate to the wonderful hospice where James spent his last months and days, or to a hospice local to you.
Check out James’s blog, including just some of his thoughts about Cats.
As a holiday gift, Netflix brought Lindsay Lohan back — for, like, a real movie this time. So what choice did we have but to dive back into the Lohan-iverse, bringing along our fetch-as-heck friend and Lindsay Lohan correspondent Sarah K. Norton for Christmas company? We ate this 2024 Atlanta-set rom-com up like so many chocolate cookies (or some other direct reference you’ll only fully get if you watch Our Little Secret and/or listen to this episode).
Check out Sarah and her husband’s podcast Never Grow Up!
We finally discover the secret reason Helen made Valerie wait nine years to cover the very-2006, adapted-from-Shakespeare (?!?) teen revenge comedy John Tucker Must Die — she has a condition* that makes her call basketball “football,” and it’s very painful and embarrassing.
