Falling in Love Montage

Congratulations! If you listen to this episode, or even glance at it, you are three quarters through McConauMay. This would normally be a sad event but, having just watched Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, we’re feeling a little raw (maybe even hostile) right now.
The only thing that can rectify this mood is the company of our spectacular guest, Nick Wood.
Nick is a newcomer to our production and podcast network Flying Machine but an oldcomer to his hilarious and inquisitive podcast, Stranger Still, which he hosts with fellow spectacular human, Jon Biegen. You can also catch Nick yucking it up with his Dad on Limited Cell– A Generational Hanna-Barbera cartoon review show.

Please enjoy this episode as Helen, Valerie, and Nick single-handedly ruin his incredible wife’s Mother’s Day. There’s some humor in here and hopefully a bit of a catharsis too.

Just Keep Living!

It’s McConaunaMay part II, or as we’re calling it (for some reason*) McConaunaMother’s Day.
In order to get enough wind in our sails to dissect 2006’s Failure to Launch, we had to beg Ryan Healey, of Tales from the Static podcast to watch this film with us.
OR — was it the other way around?
You’ll never know (unless you listen to this episode) which is, btw, just as charming as our guest (i.e., hella charming).

*Because it’s Mother’s Day and we love Kathy Bates, that’s why.

Welcome to Matthew McConauMAY!
Every Monday in May, Falling in Love Montage is covering an early 21st-century Romantic Comedy starring Matthew McConaughey.
This week we break the cardinal rule of Wedding Planning and fall in love with our guest, Elle Riccardi. She knows a thing or two about weddings and even more about jigsaw puzzles.
Join us as we try to piece together this puzzle of a movie.

✨Also, if you stick around for the very beginning (and why wouldn’t you?) you’ll hear some really big news! ✨

And if you stick around until the end (thank you) you’ll learn that Helen and Valerie are month-long guests on one of their favorite podcasts, The Feminine Mistake Podcast, hosted by Hillary, Sarah, and Nicole.
Find them (and follow them) on iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud or start listening to this awesome discussion of I Feel Pretty by clicking right here!

We’re back from our “Spring Break” and we have a question to ask you. You ready? Okay, what’s better than two sisters on a podcast talking about a super awesome movie?
Oh, so I heard one of you say a million dollars and now that I’m getting into this I’m realizing there is probably more than one answer.
Okay, so yes, that is correct. BUT the answer I was looking for is THREE SISTERS talking about a really awesome movie!
Helen and Valerie’s sister, Tara, join them to talk about 1990’s Mermaids ?‍♀️.

Please welcome us in joining Tara and wishing Helen a very happy (belated) Birthday!

Batter up!
Hear that call!
The time has come
for Helen and Valerie
to discuss the Penny Marshall classic A League of Their Own.

Friend to the podcast Jan poked us until we put her choices to a vote, and our beloved listeners voted overwhelmingly to hear about everyone’s favorite chick sports flick. Expect some more fan picks and Jan picks in the future.

We bumble our way through the plot, objectify David Strathairn, talk to a Matt, and make too many puns. So it’s just like every other episode, really. And to think we were intimidated by the material.

P.S. Art Garfunkel

We’re back in black and we’re back in black comedy. Joining us all the way from six hours in the future (c/o Germany) is Juha Heikkilä, esteemed guest, friend, and winner of a recent(ish) Facebook group caption contest.

Juha can be found guesting on podcasts and occasionally tweeting. If you’re dedicated, you can find his super secret archive of film blogs. We’re still looking.?

Our hero Juha resurrected us after the recent event that was Unleashed and gave us hope and light when he chose this exquisite, exceptional, and peerless film.
Thank you, Juha! ?
