Some Kind of Wonderful

“It is not about whether the hero will get the girl. It is about whether the hero should get the girl, and when was the last time you saw a movie that even knew that could be the question?” — Roger Ebert

I have A LOT of feelings about Some Kind of Wonderful, and have probably seen the movie and read the novelization at least 100 times combined. I’m so thrilled that I got to discuss why I love it so much with Helen and Valerie of the Falling in Love Montage podcast.

We discuss why we related to Watts, swooned over Keith and Amanda and think Maggie Corman is utterly brilliant.

The Reelist: Snow White

Does Snow White belong in the AFI’s top 100? Why do so many dark-haired little girls love Snow White? Isn’t the Evil Queen the best ever? Are the seven dwarves really that charming?

I happily discussed all of this with Dave Stone-Robb on The Reelist podcast.

Idrisexuality, Quantum Leap and Telekineticorgasms, oh my!

I’ve been having so much fun as a guest on several podcasts recently!

Best Acquaintances
I join Ollie and Emily to talk about Paul Rudd (of course), working at MTV, and the sexiest man alive, Idris Elba.

Beckett to the Future: A Tale of Two Sweeties
On the Quantum Leap podcast, Dawn, Rachel and I have a lot of judgement for the male bigamist and the thirst of the two main female characters, but we also get it?

Jason Voorhees did not have a Train Obsession

I was SHOCKED to find this out when I guested on the Kill By Kill podcast this week. Surprising no one, I completely misunderstood a key point of the Friday the 13th franchise but I still stand by my assumption as a reasonable one.
In addition to my ridiculousness, hosts Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe and I discuss the why everyone in the 80s was obsessed with their friends’ virginity, the improbability of shower sex, and how to #GetBunked. Plus, we get to feminine gaze the hell out of Patrick which is a fun time for all!
