As I uploaded the episode I couldn’t help but wonder, will anybody listen? If they do listen, will they be surprised the episode is shorter than the running time of the movie? Across town Helen was getting a surprise of her own; the details of which I’m uniformed. I expect she’ll tell me at brunch. What I do know is this, Matt flew coach with one of stars of Sex and the City. Who? You’ll have to listen to find out.
I’ve gotta run, Aidan is here to strip my floors.

How do women of the nineties handle loss, humiliation, manipulation, and degradation?
How ever the hell they want.
How ever the hell they want.
This could mean commiserating, seeking justice, or reclaiming what is yours.
It might also mean sophisticated degrees of extortion (but no one is perfect).
It might also mean sophisticated degrees of extortion (but no one is perfect).
Above all it means surviving.
Survive—and help others to survive. That is the best revenge.
Helen and Valerie toast to The First Wives Club.
·16· Christian Mingle

Sweet Cheesus! Are you asking yourself “Did Helen and Valerie really watch the Christian Mingle movie”? The answer is yes—we watched it twice.
If you’re Christ-curious and want to pretend that you’ve watched it, simply listen to this episode. Take a leap of faith that we’re probably more entertaining than the *actual film.
*no actual film’s feelings were hurt in the description of this podcast

Happy 20th Birthday to The Craft.
Sisters Helen and Valerie delight in discussing this “coming of mage” film.
Nancy, however, is sorry that Chris won’t be around for the discussion. Don’t be like Chris.
·14· Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
Matt Damon has been quoted saying, “A friend of mine said there are only three good sequels, The New Testament is better than the Old, Huck Finn is better than Tom Sawyer, and Godfather II is better than The Godfather.”
Edge of Reason is definitely not Godfather II and also, did I really just quote Matt Damon quoting someone? I guess this means we don’t have to watch Jason Bourne [probably going to anyway].
In this v.v. complicated sequel, and to the detriment of the film, Bridget spends more time being humiliated than she spends making diary entries. Mark Darcy is ever stalwart and Daniel Cleaver is…wait, why is he here?
Helen and Valerie both agree that Edge of Reason should have resumed one whole year later but, as usual, no one consulted us.
·13· Summer Clipisode
When the weather is hot and you just can’t find the time to get together with your sister to talk for 2 hours about a Renée Zellweger movie, that means…
…it’s time to enhance/undermine the previous 12 episodes (and one minisode) with a special clip show!
We’ve swept the snippets up from our cutting room floor, and you, dear listener, are our dustbin. You’re welcome. We’re sorry.
