Happy JAN(uary?)-September in October! For this Sept. episode we happen to be releasing in Oct., we brought in Helen's BFF Jan (Thrapp)! 

After 20+ years of friendship and 5+ years of Falling in Love Montage, we wanted Jan's first visit to be really formidable, so we spent 2.5 hours (after cutting it down) talking about Onur Tukel's 2016 satirical black comedy about formidable women, Catfight. 

Check out Catfight, currently streaming on US Netflix, and check your local county animal control for information about fostering animals.

By unpopular demand, we close out Marchden (or Marsden March) with The Best of Me, the film (a) critic has called, "…a contrived manipulation and an insult to female sensibilities."

Written by suspected anti-Semite Nicholas Sparks and filmed in the breathtaking bayou, we try to love this movie with the oppressive sincerity of "lucky roughneck" Dawson Cole (Marsden). It's a miracle.

Here we are, week 3 of our month long Never-A-Bride spectacular. It’s a little on the nose, but we’re talking about <em>Bridesmaids</em>. Not as divisive as current U.S. politics, but Paul Feig manages to cause turbulence once again. That reminds me, “There’s a colonial woman on the wing, there’s something they’re not telling us!”

My Best Friend's Wedding is the second film in our four-week bonus, antithetical bridal month bonanza. That's right, every Monday in June we're going to deliver fresh cut podcast bouquets straight to your internet door. This is our vow* to you.

*inconspicuous details or conditions printed in an agreement or contract, what I'm saying is "we'll probably honor this vow"
