We are kicking off 2026 with Manic Pixie Dream Girl month! Wooo, it’s gonna be interesting. We’re starting with the instigator of the term – Elizabethtown and we Get. Into. IT.

So many questions) Show Notes: -Original article: https://www.avclub.com/the-bataan-death-march-of-whimsy-case-file-1-elizabet-1798210595 -A Kirsten Dunst Character Invented the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” … Read More Read More

We are wrapping up another holiday movie month (and another year whaaaaat?) with the incredibly good Last Christmas. Warning – we do spoil this movie AND it gives you a LOT of feelings – plus there are just so many George Michael songs (complimentary). Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

We’re back with another Christmas movie month and we are kicking things off with the charming Serendipity! A movie where the lead characters are terrible people but everything else is great so its fine??? Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

It’s Chris month (the most wonderful time of the year?) and we are kicking things off with The Nanny Diaries – a movie that really really really wants to be The Devil Wears Prada (spoiler alert: it’s not) Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

Ok we’re finally getting into it. The rom com people haven’t stopped talking about/comparing all other movies and books to for the last 35 years. We are entirely sure why but let’s talk about it! It’s When Harry Met Sally. Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

It’s Meg month (our last ever?!) And we are kicking things off with the incredibly charming French Kiss! Come for Kevin Kline being incredible as always, stay for our discussion on how horrible khakis are. ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub Audio Player

We are wrapping up body swap month with 17 Again! It’s definitely the least ooshy when it comes to weird age gap relationships but don’t worry the aughts make up for it by just being terrible in other ways – and we aren’t jut talking about Zefron’s swoopy bangs. ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

It’s 13 Going on 30 this week! It’s just as charming as Big – but without the ooshy ness (yay!). Plus incredible 80’s music, Andy Serkis’ first post LOTR role (maybe??) and the most tropes we’ve ever had?!?!?! ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

It’s Big month! (body swap month?) And we are starting off with the big one (haha, yes I am hilarious aren’t I?). We are talking about Big but mostly we talk about about Muppet Christmas movies and baby corn and oh yes! Allllll the ishy feelings. ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

Wrapping up Summer Sports Month (accidentally British Summer Sports Month?) with the incredible Bend It Like Beckham! Yes, it was has problems but it is just so charming. ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

It’s August (what?!) and we are celebrating with some sports ball – first up 2004’s Wimbledon – why is this movie so good?! ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

We are wrapping up action movie with True Lies. It’s a 90’s movie that does not hold up at all – except for Jamie Lee Curtis. We support her kicking ass but we do not support this movie. But do please listen to our episode! ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

It’s summer! and that means ACTION MOVIES but we are still a rom com podcast so it’s romance action movie month (see: Speed). Here’s our first movie: the really charming and good, 2024’s The Fall Guy. ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

We are wrapping up Pride month with 2022’s Bros. A funny, charming movie with a by-the-books rom com plot which sometimes is all you need in your life. ⁠Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

Happy pride! We are celebrating on the pod this month starting with the INCREDIBLY rough In & Out. ⁠⁠Look it was 1997. We understand why it’s like this but we wish it wasn’t (next ep will be less cringy promise!)⁠ What ‘In & Out’ Says About the Complicated History of LGBTQ+ Representation, 20 Years Later: … Read More Read More

We are wrapping up Big Fish/Small Pond month with Sweet Home Alabama – a movie that could’ve been charming if it wasn’t for the overarching hugely problematic parts – we get into it (as much as two white girls from Canada can) in the episode – plus some swooning and appropriate Melanie Lynskey love. Sweet … Read More Read More

First up in Big Fish/Small Pond month is the not so well known New In Town – it’s a hallmark trope but actually ends in a way we like! Plus Harry Connick Jr. is there and you cant be mad about that. Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub

We are wrapping Colin Firth month with What a Girl Wants – the best movie this month? Huge but true. We’ve got swoony Colin, Amanda Bynes doing her best and 2003 representing the only way it knows how (scarves as belts) Join our Patreon: patreon.com/chartsandheartsclub
