The Lost City (2022) & Ryan Skonnord

It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and Kevin Lester
Instead of the moon, Diana lassos long time friend Kevin Lester to talk about It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). Kevin shares that he appreciated how the movie didn’t shy away from the darker elements and the struggle of a character always trying to do right by others. With many re-watches, he finds more to enjoy each time. Diana finally crosses this movie off her to-watch list, but may have to watch again since she saw the colorized version.
Bask in the hilarity of The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live references we make. As of the writing of these show notes, the Christmas with the Joker episode of Batman the Animated Series is available to watch online.

Sliding Doors (1998)
We go back to romantic movie basics with discussing Diana's pick Sliding Doors (1998). The movie plays with the gimmick of "what could have been...". Still, if true love happens to be on that train, Polina and Diana cannot stress enough to not jam the door back open. Plus, extra fun surprises in the mail from super fan Patrick!
A London woman's love life and career both hinge, unknown to her, on whether or not she catches a train. We see it both ways, in parallel. Stars Gwyneth Paltrow, John Hannah, John Lynch, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Zara Turner, and Douglas McFerran. (from IMDb.com)

Actress and comedy maven Janet Varney joins the podcast to discuss Sense and Sensibility (1995).

The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996)
Create your own pet pun as we discuss Diana's pick The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996). Do it meow! Teenage Diana saw Janeane Garafalo as the adult Daria (not a typo) she wished to be. Adult Diana and dog mom thinks character Brian has some pet strikes against him. Polina missed this movie when it came out, but was still in the Garafalo fan camp.
A successful veterinarian & radio show host with low self-esteem asks her model friend to impersonate her when a handsome man wants to see her. Stars Uma Thurman, Janeane Garofalo, Ben Chaplin, Jamie Foxx, James McCaffrey, Richard Coca, Stanley DeSantis, and cameos by David Cross, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Bob Odenkirk.(from IMDb.com)

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) & guest Justine from The Cutaways Podcast
Who's a rock star? Definitely Justine from The Cutaways Podcast as she brings her pick Josie and the Pussycats (2001) and the blanket fort to us. As a huge fixture in her teenage years, Josie and the movie made a big impact on Justine's amazingness. And there was a romance subplot in there too.

Sixteen Candles (1984)
The Cusack run continues, but it's more like a walk as we spend more time fawning over Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling). Sixteen Candles (1984) is officially Polina's pick, but Diana was also deeply attached to this now pretty upsetting movie. Be prepared for a more serious than usual and long discussion about reconciling our sentimentality over this “damn date rape movie with a dreamy lead”. Quote from Diana off microphone.
Samantha's family has forgotten her sixteenth birthday, a day that could be perfect if only Jake Ryan would look her way. Stars Molly Ringwald, Michael Schoeffling, Anthony Michael Hall, Haviland Morris, Gedde Watanabe, Paul Dooley, Carlin Glynn, Justin Henry, Blanche Baker, and John Cusack. (from Netflix.com and IMDb.com)
