The Hart Chicks Present…

Jaleh and Jessica host a podcast. WHOOPADEEDOO! It’s a quote-fest on this week’s episode, because we’re talking about The Wedding Singer, and it’s impossible not to quote along. We get intellectual about millennial 80s nostalgia before we devolve completely in classic Hart Chicks style. Now take off that Van Halen t-shirt, dear hearts, before you jinx the band and they break up.   Catch up with Dmitry @sigismundtryapkin on Instagram and TikTok #hartchickspresent #podcast #podcasting #contentcreators #ladypodsquad #TheWeddingSinger #romcoms #RomanticComedies #RomanticComedy Article referenced: Speed, Lesley. “Together in electric dreams: films revisiting 1980s youth.” Journal of Popular Film and Television 28, no. 1 (2000): 22-29.

It’s time to cliff-dive into our next couplet: rom-coms with male leads, starting with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a modern classic full of one-liners and Jason Segel’s work of art. We mean the Dracula Musical, of course. Plus, we are pleased as punch to welcome Honorary Hart Chick Vince of The Future Break-Up (@futurebreakup), a guest spot years in the making. Sip on the Haderade and head to the North Shore with us, dear hearts.

The Mayors of Tangent Town have returned to discuss the magical realism of the modern fairy-tale, Penelope. We really get into this flick, as well as Rage Against the Machine, IMDB, and the plot of Atonement told badly. Plus, James McAvoy — need we say more? Don your best scarf & coat combo and hop a Vespa with us, dear hearts.

Get your tokens, dear hearts, because we’re taking the El straight to Chicago for the April Christmas classic, While You Were Sleeping. Eliza Jo is back too, so you know we have lots of opinions about everything: Spaceballs, string cheese, and the dramaturgical impact of voiceover. No, seriously we do. Flip your coat to the reversible side and hunker down in a chunky sweater with us.

CK Dexter Haven, it’s another classic! Change out of that space-aged dressing gown and swan dive into The Philadelphia Story with us. We talk toxic men, Dateline, drunk acting, and all things yar. We also talk about the actual heroine, which is Dinah and we won’t be taking any questions on the matter. Plus, who is going to make us the sequel with Mike & Liz, please and thank you? Don’t wait for the tiger, dear hearts.

We’re taking it all the way back to the OG rom-com this week, and we’re pleased as punch to talk about what happened one night that was actually like four nights. Hear all about our film critic school past, our Spaceballs tangents, and our whole opinions about Pre-Code Hollywood (spoiler alert: you probably already know). Fly through the air with the greatest of ease with us, dear hearts.   Catch up with Dmitry @sigismundtryapkin   Articles discussed:   Gottlieb, Sidney. “From Heroine to Brat: Frank Capra’s Adaptation of Night Bus (It Happened One Night).” Literature/Film Quarterly 16, no. 2 (1988): 129.

We’re back, dear hearts, and we’re ready to dive into our first season: Rom-Coms. We had to kick it off with a shoutout to our Bluebell roots with Sweet Home Alabama. We got hot takes on the fashion of 2002, the effects of lightning on sand, and how there is no such thing as a bad Ethan Embry performance. I hope Neil Young will remember to listen in, and so should you.

Your Hart Chicks are back with an all new season! Listen to this episode to find out all the details. Our new season starts on Friday, May 14, 2021! Subscribe to our feed! Follow us on Instagram and Twitter! Give us five stars on your podcatcher!

We’ve made it, dear hearts. This is the finale, and we basically forgot it’s a glorified clip show! In between things we’ve seen 17 times, we get bits of delights, like Chris Spider-Man Hands, Jamie being bad at something, and a montage of prom dresses on 20-something ladies. We laugh, we cry, we already know who wins. Plus, the reunion show had some Blazin’ greatness, and we talk about why we love this show so damn much. Write your declarationies… speeches with us.

It’s the hashtag penultimate episode, and we get introspective and tangenty about it (we know you’re surprised). As we head toward the finish line, we get all the Love Island faves– the secret missions, the family visits, and the final dates. We take one more quick trip to Montanastan while planning an IRL vacation to The Cotswolds, we sing some yacht rock but not So Solid Crew, and we bid farewell to one last couple. Quit rappin – no G – with us, dear hearts.

We’re closing in on the end of villa camp, and we’re happy, sad, and confused about it. There’s a double dumping, there’s screaming children, and the villa brings their special kind of drama. Plus, we finally make the Real World Boston connection you’ve been waiting for. Rock down to Jamie Avenue and get deep with us, dear hearts. We’ll take it higher.

Make sure you stay hydrated this week, because everyone in the villa is getting a workout if you know what I mean and I THINK YOU DO. Plus, Mike continues to be hotter than before but not hotter than Jamie (who’s good at EVERYTHING). Theo forgets that when you stir the pot then you gotta keep stirring. We see the two faces of Tyla and we’re not pleased by either of them. Plus we debate the couples we’d want to hang out with IRL and it’s not the gruesome foursome. Watch your language in front of the kids, dear hearts.

This episode is the surprise sandcastle you didn’t know you needed OR wanted, but we got it just for you, dear hearts. We get Camilla’s birthday party with belly ring, avo toast, and THE LIFT; we get the crossover episode that all Hart of Dixie Chicks fans have been clamoring for; and we bid farewell to Jonny in the most dramatic fashion. Plus, it’s the Return of The Mike (and Sam too, we guess). Have the time of your life with us this week.

It’s another dysfunctional week in our villa, and against our better judgement, we’re here for it. The Great 2017 Experiment is getting our islanders, which seems perfect for new Islander Theo to stir the pot. Other new Islander Jamie is the CK-One in our hearts, but he’s all in for Camilla (#campers). Plus, Chris & Liv be fighting, Kem & Amber be bf-gf, Rocky B shows up, and Jonny teaches us a new word! Go commando with us, dear hearts.

How do you own disorder? You know that means we’re diving into the toxicity of our villa, of our villa. We get the aftermath of Casa Amor which doesn’t matter because they all leave anyway, we get a poll dance, and we both feel very, very old. Plus, we get the most honest & compelling conversation in Love Island history. Play for Team Dear Hearts with us, bubs.
