2! 4! 6! 8! No more Matt McConaughate! 8! 6! 4! 2! Love for LGBTQ(+)! Happy Pride, FiLM buffs! Queer stories have been neglected in our chosen genre and on our podcast for way too long; it's time to parade them out and put them in the spotlight they deserve. And this is just the beginning. For the first of our four Pride month entries, we're talking about cult favorite But I'm a Cheerleader with our old friends Kat (whom you might remember from our Fifty Shades of Grey episode) and Whitney (whom you will likely eventually remember from our upcoming-on-date-TBD The Notebook episode). We talk about some pretty gay shit.

Previous Episode

I Feel Pretty

Welcome to our NOT AN EPISODE episode of I Feel Pretty!

We had the great privilege of being invited to discuss this film with the cast of The Feminine Mistake Podcast. On the Feminine Mistake Podcast with Nicole, Sarah, and Hillary, we were able to be a part of a much richer and deeper discussion.

Every week, The Feminine Mistake Podcast and a guest take a critical look at how woman have been portrayed in film and television. Nicole, Sarah, and Hillary lead us through a discussion of the film, introduce some hot facts, and measure how the film holds up to the scrutiny of the Bechdel test and other litmuses for on-screen representation. One of my favorite segments is Nervous Breakdowns where guests and hosts read bad, misogynist casting breakdowns.

As you know, all month long in June, Falling in Love Montage will be releasing weekly episodes for Pride Month with our first episode out later this week.

Next Episode

Imagine Me & You (w/ Allyson and Mariela)

We go for an almost very traditional rom-com for the second week of Pride month, 2005's Imagine Me & You. And who's better to discuss this movie with us than the very people who first suggested it, one year ago? We've got our second fiance(e) guest pairing, gay best friends of the show, Allyson and Mariela! We had a gay old time, and we hope you do too. You know, we want you to be happy. More than anything else, we want to be the cause of happiness in you.

Thank you for your patience with our release delays this month, and our apologies for the audio issues in this episode.

And if you're in Aurora, IL on June 17th, join Allyson and Mariela for Aurora's first ever pride!
