Falling in Love Montage

We put this month’s movie up to a vote, and if the votes told us anything, it’s that 1 thing you hated about us is that we hadn’t covered the classic ’99 teen rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You yet. 

Well, now we have. Helen’s bestie Jan Thrapp joins us again to talk about Shakespeare, our motives behind the various colors of underwear we possess, and Andrew Keegan’s California cult. And we maybe introduce a new FiLM award.

10 Things I Hate About You is currently streaming on Disney+. Check your local animal shelters for information about fostering animals.

It was Helen’s birthday this month, so this time, we covered a movie she wanted to cover! …Just like we pretty much always do, whoops. 

Anyway, the movie Helen wanted to cover this time was the 2007 Disney spectacular Enchanted. Did we find it enchanting? It’s a safe bet to say we did, but obviously these notes are meant to promote the episode, so officially you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out!! 

Oh, also, it’s finally getting a sequel later this year, so let’s pretend we knew that and planned it, going in.

What do you get when you cross an embarrassment of pandas with embarassing podcasters? 
This. This is what you get. 
We had a box full of kittens-like good time discussing Domee Shi’s 2022, unapologetically titled Pixar hit, Turning Red. 

Here we are again, for the first time, talking about the Harold Ramis 1993 classic Groundhog Day. Does spring come early for the podcast? Listen and let us know if you hear a shadow.

If you want more Jack Black than you can shake a stick at, there’s no better choice than the Kung Fu Panda trilogy. But we’re talking about Nancy Meyers’s warm and fuzzy The Holiday this time, which Jack Black is also in (as well as Jude Law, Eli Wallach, and a couple of chick-flick all-stars). With this episode, we become the leading ladies of our own lives, by deciding that we can release a Holiday episode at the end of January in a pandemic. 

It’s the holiday season and the 107th episode of this chick-flick podcast — so really what choice did we have but to discuss 2000’s High Fidelity with our friend and Beta-Band-stan Shane Kearney? It makes sense if you consider our continued use of John Cusack as a 2021 coping mechanism, or if you know that one of our hosts wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for a meet-cute in a record store in Chicago.
Anyway, it’s one of our top-5 favorite male-led rom-coms, with one of our top-6 favorite guests of the year. Happy holidays.
