    About Time (2013) with Harriet Power

    About Time (2013) with Harriet Power

    After last week's 'All of Us Stranger' sob-fest you'd think I'd go for an Adam Sandler film but ALAS the tissues are back for one of the ALL TIME GREATS! The Richard Curtis instant classic 'About Time'.
    Speaking of 'all time greats' my pal Harriet Power joins me for this episode, and she brings her trademark warmth, insight and love of dialogue to this discussion.

    Bridgerton (Season 3) with Jess Farchione

    Bridgerton (Season 3) with Jess Farchione

    If you are looking for a hard hitting, serious, deep discussion on the thematics and messaging behind Bridgerton S3, then this is not the episode for you.
    If you want to hear two opinionated, loud mouthed and very passionate Bridgerton fans get hyped up about all the ways that this season made us feel things (both sexual and emotional) then PRESS PLAY, BABY!
    Big love to Jess Farchione for bringing her A game on very late notice for this one.
    Hope you love listening as much as we (very clearly) loved recording!

    'All of Us Strangers' (2024) with Natasha Stamos

    'All of Us Strangers' (2024) with Natasha Stamos

    Hot Priest + Paul Mescal + unbelievably strong supporting cast = holy shit this movie is so good.
    This episode should have been sponsored by Kleenex. First up - watching 'All of Us Strangers' before listening to this episode is a MUST. If you live in Australia, it's available on Disney+.
    Natasha Stamos returns for this deep dive, and I gotta admit, it's deep. We touch on some tough topics, but nothing that isn't already covered in the film.
    Have your own thoughts? Hit up the Hopeless Hotline anytime with a text or a voicemail on 0483 966 500 and join the conversation.

    'Just For The Summer' (Abby Jimenez) with Jordon Lott

    'Just For The Summer' (Abby Jimenez) with Jordon Lott

    Jordon Lott returns for a goodie! 'Just For The Summer' is the latest drop from Abby Jimenez and (unsurprisingly) she has written a new book boyfriend for us to swoon over. Justin. Delicious.
    This is a great book - full of laughs - and lots of tears (that certainly caught me by surprise). There are definite spoilers in this episode, and part of the fun of this book are the twists and turns, so do read it first! Or don't! It's your life!
    Get involved with the show by shooting a text or leaving a voicemail on our Hopeless Hotline 0483 966 500. We'd love to hear your thoughts on current discussions, or suggest a new book/movie.

    'Some Kind of Wonderful' (1987) with Yvie Jones

    'Some Kind of Wonderful' (1987) with Yvie Jones

    We're heading back to the 80's, baby! And we're bringing the bright-shining Yvie Jones with us!
    While this episode is about the legendary John Hughes' 1987 film 'Some Kind of Wonderful', it's moreso a deep dive on growing up and the kids of romantic comedies we truly love. In fact, you don't really need to have watched the film at all in order to enjoy this episode.
    Yvie also admits to hating one of my all-time favourite films but after much thought I've decided that I still love her.
    You can follow Yvie on instagram here.
    Wanna get involved in the show? We'd love to hear your questions, thoughts or suggestions. Shoot through a text or a voicemail to out Hopeless Hotline on 0483 966 500!
