Welcome to What She’s Having! Join us every Wednesday as we discuss a romantic comedy, including the incredibly moving, the genuinely hilarious, and the truly terrible. We take a magnifying glass to this most beloved and contentious genre, catapulting into discussions about gender roles in film, women behind the camera, our love of movies… some general ridiculousness… and quite a bit of nerding out. There will be gushing. There will be ranting. We will profess our love for John Cusack.
What She’s Having is hosted by Alia Miller and Lisa Kennedy and is produced independently in Toronto, ON.

Episode 80 – THE HOLIDAY
We celebrate the Holidays once again as we discuss the 2006 film The Holiday, which is surprisingly short on the holiday stuff and big on the painfully long scenes. A good starting premise is too-soon soaked with overblown hollywood embellishments, reminding … Continue reading →

Episode 79 – GROSSE POINTE BLANK
This week we discuss 1997’s Grosse Pointe Blank, starring John Cusack as a hit man, Dan Aykroyd as an evil hit man, and Minnie Driver as his love interest (Cusack’s not Aykroyd’s– that would be weird). We’re joined by Andrew Parker … Continue reading →
Customer Reviews
Finally a great movie podcast from a female perspective
I love romantic comedies and am so forgiving of their faults such that, sad to say, I don't always have the best taste when it comes to movies of this genre. What I love about this podcast are the intellectual approaches the hosts bring to their discussion of each movie. I wasn't expecting that when I downloaded my first episode. Even when it came to some of my favorite movies, I was enlightened by what they had to say, even when it's (often) very critical.
Great idea, horrible delivery
What a great idea for a podcast. I was very excited to subscribe and start listening. I listened to 4 episodes and find the women to be very smart and knowledgeable. However, they are impossible to listen to without becoming tense and stressed. Please, learn how to speak in a manner that is equal to your intelligence. You all sound like you are in middle school. Watch "In A World", get a vocal coach. In episode 60 I counted the inappropriate use of the word "like" 75 times in 10 minutes!!! Please, fix this huge problem that will disable all of you from achieving your goals in life and so I can listen to your podcast without going berserk.
Hidden Gem
I listen to a lot of movie podcasts and they are dominated by dudes, so it was really great to discover a fun movie podcast that is hosted by three women.
