No one is going to Spice Force Five you to listen to this episode, but if you're looking to recommit yourself to girl power—this is prime opportunity. In this episode, Helen admits to "playing" Spice Girls as a child and I don't even tease her (don't even hear her). I'm favoring whichever scenario I come out looking like a better sister.
Join us on our journey through time, chicas to the front---every boy and every girl---Spice Up Your Life.
Our second episode is perfect for a drinking game. Here are the rules: 1) Drink every time I (Valerie) repeat what Helen has just said. 2) Drink every time Helen and Valerie achieve "one voice". 3) Drink every time I (Valerie) talk over Helen. But whatever you do...do not drink every time I (Valerie) say "in the book", because honestly, I just don't think you'll survive it—and we need listeners/love you.
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.
Mostly we'll just go off on tangents about Sex and the City.
We'll talk about chick flick tropes, like love triangles/squares/pentagons and sisterhood. We'll explore just how strong girl power actually is and if real vampires sparkle in the sunlight, or if that's just movie magic. And we'll reveal our (Helen's) repressed sexual feelings for Hugh Grant.
We'll get a dude's opinion, and we'll even listen to it.
