Falling in Love Montage

To celebrate its 40-year anniversary -- and the 10-year anniversary of us somehow not covering the movie already whoops -- we brought back Amy Pascale, pHD (physician[?] on Howard Deutch), to discuss the beloved teen rom-com-dram Pretty in Pink.

After a decade of podcasting together, we take a moment to reflect back on the many things that have transpired since our first episode. From the challenges of audio recording and editing to the joy of rewatching some of our favorite films and the sometimes cringe, sometimes delight of watching new ones. However, nothing has been as impactful as connecting with listeners, having the opportunity to join a network of incredibly talented people, and the privilege of hosting some of the most remarkable guests. 

But mostly we just play games and bemoan how after ten years, we still have the same unhinged and mentally feeble sex predator in office. If that interests you, have a listen.

You fell in love with us on the radio* -- you weren't expecting it, and you couldn't help it. It was the sound of our voices, the things we said. And suddenly, you knew -- you weren't satisfied with the chick flick discourse your other relationships were providing.

From there, you followed us, over the airwaves and across the country, until we finally, finally covered Nora Ephron's 1993 more-than-classic Sleepless in Seattle. It was our second foray into the Tom-Hanks-Meg-Ryan-iverse, and you were destined to hold our hands as we went. 

*podcasts are sort of like radio, whatever, leave me alone

Have yourself A Merry Little Ex-Mas. Or at least a podcast episode about the 2025 movie of that name, which is what this is.
