Falling in Love Montage episodes

  • The Family Stone (w/ Elle Riccardi)

    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.

  • Some Kind of Wonderful (w/ Amy Pascal)

    "I think it's hip that you paint. I think it's hip that I drum. And it's perfect that we're friends." - Watts 

    Listeners, we think it's hip that you listen. We think it's hip that we FINALLY released this episode. And it's perfect that we all LOVE Some Kind of Wonderful. 

    After years of friendship, we finally courted Amy Pascal. We didn't paint her portrait, or take her to the Hollywood Bowl, or spend our college savings on her, but we did ask her to reschedule with us at least a half dozen times so you know her love is true. Amy Pascal is our kind of WONDERFUL and we learn more about this film talking to her than we've learned in any of our gazillionty viewings. 


    Find more from Amy Pascal at http://theamypascale.com and on Twitter & Facebook.

  • Hocus Pocus

    Just in time for the end of Daylight Saving Time, we bring you our last spoopy Halloween chick flick offering -- Hocus Pocus, a.k.a. Vanessa Hudgens's Rocky Horror Picture Show. 


    FiLM threepeat all-stars Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker put a spell on you in 1993, and we attempt to do the same for 90 minutes, here in 2018. So come, listener, let us take you away, into a land of enchantment or whatever. Happy 25th birthday, Hocus Pocus, and happy Halloween, listeners!

  • Death Becomes Her

    We're Mad-Ern-Hel, and we're not going to take [not having covered Death Becomes Her] anymore! 


    Yes, the queens of youth and beauty you know and tolerate are finally tackling the queens of youth and beauty you know and love, and we (re)watched 1992's Death Becomes Her, in which Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn seriously put at least one of the Fs in "BFF."

    A couple of corrections:
    - Zelda from Pet Sematary has spinal meningitis, not scoliosis.
    - We talk briefly about "Kevin Williams" style dialog. We are actually referring to Kevin Williamson, creator of Dawson's Creek and writer of Scream.

    We don't have a guest this time, but we give massive shout-outs to our sweethearts Ryan and Ariel, who got married last week. If you click all of these links, you'll find all of Ryan's many shows:

  • Ocean’s 8 (w/ Malcolm Nygard)

    We've assembled the team, we've got the know-how, we've rented the disc from Redbox, and we're ready to blow this thing wide open. 


    Fearless leader of the Flying Machine network and Ocean's [Numeral] fanboy Malcolm Nygard is back to talk with us about the 2018 female-fronted heist movie and whether (Danny Ocean's) sisters are really doin' it for themselves. And by "doin'," I mean stealing, and by "it," I mean tens of millions of dollars' worth of jewels.

    You can hear more from Malcolm on the Flying Machine Content Channel.

  • He’s Just Not That Into You

    What do Batman, E from Entourage, Rachel Green, Black Widow, the Hangover guy, Officer Hopps, the Mac, and Academy Award-winning actor Jennifer Connelly have in common? 

    They are all in this movie that we're just not that into, spoilers! 😉

  • Mumford (w/ Brian Flanagan)

    The long-anticipated cross-over episode is here! Okay, it's not technically a cross-over, maybe it's just an episode we've been dying* to do with a guest we've been dying to have.

    Lawrence Kasdan's 1999 Mumford offers no exception to deception and this entire character-driven comedy/drama/maybe chick-flick(?) hinges on one man's lie. Here to help us interrogate this movie is the mayor of Liar City and my** best friend, Brian Flanagan. 

    Prepare for more conflict in the episode than the movie. Sisters Helen and Valerie, wait for it, have strong and different opinions about this film!?!?! WHAT!?!?!

    Helen describes Dr. Mumford as a "lovable fraud" and Valerie applauds him for demonstrating that generally, the nicest thing you can do for someone is listen to them. 

    ☝🏻That's a suggestion folks, you should listen to us 😉

     

    *No podcasters actually died during or for this episode

    ** Who's that girl? It's Jess Valerie!

  • Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (w/ Tracy Tanoff)

    Watch 👀 our Dirty Dancing progress bar ▁▂▃▅

    Two years ago we talked about Dirty Dancing.
    One year ago a dear listener emailed us to request we cover Dirty Dancing's 2004 sequel.
    And just one week ago we finally watched Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and got together to talk about it.
    This is that talk. You'll be happy to know --- it's less than four hours. 
    Beloved friend/superfan/Jane Austen correspondent Tracy Tanoff joins us for the not-so-heavily contested debate of whether Havana Nights should get the illustrious Houseman Trophy 🏆 -- and if we should rename it the "Miller Trophy," after our Havana heroine Katey Miller (spoiler-hint: yeah nah).

Every other week, Valerie and Helen will look at a different chick flick (muff film, broad comedy, lady thriller, period movie, whathaveyou) and boil it down to its themes and how those themes affect our tender feminine emotions.
