A Chick Flick Podcast
By unpopular demand, we close out Marchden (or Marsden March) with The Best of Me, the film (a) critic has called, “…a contrived manipulation and an insult to female sensibilities.”
Written by suspected anti-Semite Nicholas Sparks and filmed in the breathtaking bayou, we try to love this movie with the oppressive sincerity of “lucky roughneck” Dawson Cole (Marsden). It’s a miracle.
Big news guys, it’s our first Katherine Heigl movie—and also—our first James Marsden movie! Is this serendipity or a highly contrived plot similar to that of 2008’s 27 Dresses?
Either way Marsden March is here or James Marchden or whatever silly name we want to call it.

Valerie and Helen took to the theater this month (with friends, yes they have some) to watch 2019’s What Men Want.
All of their secret thoughts about the film are contained within this episode. So, if you can’t read our minds, you may have to listen – which, coincidentally, is also the theme of the film.
Thank you for your continued support. Falling in Love Montage podcast turned three this month! ?

Happy January! We couldn’t be more thrilled to pop the lid on 2019 with the discussion of this film, based on the first in a trilogy of books by Kevin Kwan and directed by sweetheart of the podcast, Jon M. Chu. We’re talking Crazy Rich Asians y’all! (I can say y’all, I live in Atlanta where it is definitely not snowing).

It’s possibly our most-favorite (and most-referenced) movie, and we’re going to try our butts off to convince ourselves and y’all that it’s maybe a chick flick. We’re talking about Heathers.
Joining us for this intellectual croquet match is Phil Gonzales of Deep in Bear Country: A Berenstain Bearcast, It’s Del Toro Time!, and Klickitcast: A Beverly Cleary Podcast. Phil uses his podcasting expertise — and general ability to f*** with the eagles — to help us pull this high school black comedy apart, and to keep us on track by reminding us that we gotta motor if we’re gonna be ready to publish this episode in 2018.
Happy Heathersdays, FiLM Buffs.
Happy Holidays to all, and to all a — hey wow, we published an episode; I can scarcely believe it!
We’ve wanted to talk about The Family Stone for as long as we’ve had this platform, so when Elle Riccardi — of Handbook Podcast; Flying Machine’s own Short, Colorful and Loud; and our episode on The Wedding Planner — asked if we’d ever considered covering The Family Stone, we shouted, “OMG, yes!!” so loud that we knocked her off her feet from 1000 or so miles away.
And similarly, on a dozenth-ish viewing, The Family Stone knocked us off our feet, and we step all over ourselves trying to explain our love for this not-completely-unproblematic holiday movie.
Merry Christmas and stuff, from our smug family to yours.
