Falling in Love Montage

This very special Halloween episode delves into the story of two close-but-disparate sisters and how they found themselves shunned by their community because of their unusual background — they were bitches who had either never before seen Practical Magic, or they thought it was silly, or both.

Join us as we come to terms with every wild thing the beloved 1998 rom-com-fantasy-crime-drama-cult-classic-Margo-Martindale-vehicle Practical Magic stands for and find ourselves maybe grabbing our proverbial brooms to join the coven.
Do we make ourselves as silly as the film we’re discussing? At least.
Are we able to keep down these midnight margaritas? Mostly.
Will our listeners burn us at the stake for transgressing against the Owens women? Well, that’s up to you.

You asked for it (we think? It would have been a long time ago; we could be wrong. Someone definitely asked for it, we’re pretty sure), and after a mere half-dozen years, we did it — Michel Gondry’s beloved sci-fi dram-rom-com Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And for the discussion, we brought someone unforgettable — poet, host of the Ku-Popup Open Art Showcase, and romantic lead to cohost Helen — Angel Kofsky!

Check out the Ku-Popup Open Mic and Art Showcase, Thursdays at 8pm ET on Angel’s Twitch channel and/or in their Discord. 

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.
