Falling in Love Montage episodes

  • After Forever (w/ Mitchell Anderson)

    To close out Pride month, we are appropriately proud to bring you something a little bit different. Not so much chick, not so much flick -- we wanted to spotlight a new queer web series currently streaming on Amazon, After Forever.


    Joining us for the entire discussion is costar of the series Mitchell Anderson, known also as the founder of Atlanta's great MetroFresh restaurant, Ross Werkman on Party of Five, and one of the sexiest TV doctors of the last 20 years (People, 2005), among other things.

    We were delighted and honored to have Mitchell on to talk about this great short series, his experience as an out actor in the television industry, and yes, his favorite chick flicks. Easily one of the sexiest podcast guests of the last 20 years (Falling in Love Montage, 2018).

  • Kissing Jessica Stein (w/ Lauren DeBlasi)

    It's listener's choice this time as we delve into the bi-curious indie rom-com Kissing Jessica Stein. 

    Super-fan/friend Lauren DeBlasi (of upcoming podcasts TBD and also TBD!) joins us as we joyfully unpack Jessica Stein's considerable baggage. We think she's a very nice girl.

  • Imagine Me & You (w/ Allyson and Mariela)

    We go for an almost very traditional rom-com for the second week of Pride month, 2005's Imagine Me & You. And who's better to discuss this movie with us than the very people who first suggested it, one year ago? We've got our second fiance(e) guest pairing, gay best friends of the show, Allyson and Mariela! 

    We had a gay old time, and we hope you do too. You know, we want you to be happy. More than anything else, we want to be the cause of happiness in you. 

    Thank you for your patience with our release delays this month, and our apologies for the audio issues in this episode.

    And if you're in Aurora, IL on June 17th, join Allyson and Mariela for Aurora's first ever pride!

  • But I’m a Cheerleader (w/ Kat and Whit)

    2! 4! 6! 8! No more Matt McConaughate!

    8! 6! 4! 2! Love for LGBTQ(+)!

    Happy Pride, FiLM buffs!
    Queer stories have been neglected in our chosen genre and on our podcast for way too long; it's time to parade them out and put them in the spotlight they deserve. And this is just the beginning.
    For the first of our four Pride month entries, we're talking about cult favorite But I'm a Cheerleader with our old friends Kat (whom you might remember from our Fifty Shades of Grey episode) and Whitney (whom you will likely eventually remember from our upcoming-on-date-TBD The Notebook episode). We talk about some pretty gay shit.

  • I Feel Pretty

    Welcome to our NOT AN EPISODE episode of I Feel Pretty!

    We had the great privilege of being invited to discuss this film with the cast of The Feminine Mistake Podcast.

    On the Feminine Mistake Podcast with Nicole, Sarah, and Hillary, we were able to be a part of a much richer and deeper discussion.

    Every week, The Feminine Mistake Podcast and a guest take a critical look at how woman have been portrayed in film and television. Nicole, Sarah, and Hillary lead us through a discussion of the film, introduce some hot facts, and measure how the film holds up to the scrutiny of the Bechdel test and other litmuses for on-screen representation. One of my favorite segments is Nervous Breakdowns where guests and hosts read bad, misogynist casting breakdowns.

    Find The Feminine Mistake Podcast on Facebook, Twitter, iTunes, and their production channel Critical Crop Top

    Here are direct links to the episodes, in case you feel pretty and lazy 😉

    Ep. 309 I Feel Pretty

    Ep. 310 Dish Hands


    Ep. 311 Never a Salad

    Ep. 312 Lady Bits: And Yet...

    As you know, all month long in June, Falling in Love Montage will be releasing weekly episodes for Pride Month with our first episode out later this week. Thank you for your patience as we move slightly behind schedule. We truly can't wait to share this next episode and hope you look forward to it too.

  • Fool’s Gold (w/ Jon Biegen)

    Well, folks, we did it.

    You did it!
    It's done.
    We collectively watched Matthew McConaughey's least enjoyable movies (highly subjective statement, depending) and we survived. We just kept living — exactly as McConaughey dictated.
    We planned a wedding, we moved out of Mom and Dad's house, we visited the past and glimpsed the future, and now we are on one last treasure hunt — searching for GOLD! 


    Yes, you guessed it, Fool's Gold! 

    Joining us on this bestests of quests is the bestests of guests and co-host of Stranger Still podcast, Jon Biegen. Jon will pirate your heart like he has ours and you'll probably want to drop anchor at his harbor here and here.

    And, if you're observing, Happy McMorial Day! 💪

  • Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (w/ Nick Wood)

    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!

  • Failure to Launch (w/ Ryan Healey)

    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.

  • The Wedding Planner (w/ Elle Riccardi)

    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!

  • Mermaids (w/ Tara Thoma)

    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! 


    *update* 

    We have replaced this episode with a "louder" version. Please redownload if you were having difficulties hearing the last one. 
    Thank you!

About Falling in Love Montage

From the publisher's feed

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.
