That's Outrageous

Coming off of last week's episode regarding "Along Came Polly", the podcast was inundated with messages regarding the man who is rumored to have inspired Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, Sandy Lyle in the film. So this week, we bring to you an exclusive interview with Steve, college housemate of the film's director, John Hamburg; past performer of Judas in a community theater production of  "Jesus Christ Superstar" and former habitue of the NYC pick-up basketball scene.  Take a listen to Steve's story and draw your own conclusion as to whether or not this tie is real or imagined.  Plus, Anne reveals something about her past that even Crissy never knew. It's a week of reminiscing and revelations! You definitely want to take a listen to this one! crissy & anne --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crissy-shropshire/message

This week will once again have you shaking your head at what goes on in this world. We start with the story of a man who broke into a convenience store but left something intentionally behind. Plus, we had the story of a new bill being proposed to lessen prisoners' sentences in exchange for what??? And the culprit in a string of animal kidnappings from a Dallas zoo has finally been found.  And after much debate, we chose the final "Sweetheart" of our "America's Sweetheart" month - Jennifer Aniston. We discuss her comedy with Ben Stiller, "Along Came Polly". Do you know which of Jen's co-stars was the only man she did more than one film with? (up until she just reunited with Adam Sandler in "Murder Mystery 2" - which is on Netflix so not sure that even counts) February was a quick one. Hope you loved these episodes as much as we did.

Though this week we talk about the most "America's Sweetheart" of all the Sweethearts, Julia Roberts, one news story really stole the show. Anne was so outraged by this story that she nearly hyperventilated. It has to do with a wedding, the best man and his wife and that's all you'll get out of this description.   The second story this week has to do with a woman who rebuffed a man's romantic overtures, agreed to go to therapy with him for 2 years (!) to discuss why she only saw him as a friend and after all that, he sued her.  Think about it - that was the second most outrageous story this week. I mean the first one is a real doozie! Plus, we discuss "Notting Hill," the romantic comedy that paired Julia with Hugh Grant. Not sure the movie held up over time but it did bring up an interesting thought - does it matter if Julia has chemistry with any of her leading men? Are they just appendages to her star power? See what we have to say about it. According to "Horse and Hound" magazine ("Notting Hill" reference), this podcast gets 5 stars. So rate and review!

Is there anyone alive who doesn't like Sandra Bullock? This week we take a look back at her rom-com history with a focus on the one that arguably put her on the America's Sweetheart map, "While You Were Sleeping". Is everything about this movie unrealistic - from the basic premise to fact that Bill Pullman gets the girl? Yes. Do we still love it? Yes, yes we do. And see if you agree that "The Proposal", another Bullock classic, basically took the plot of this film, changed a few things and no one seemed to notice ( could have been called "While You Were Sleeping We Stole the Plot of This Film".) Plus, we have not one but two stories about pigeons (one a victim of a Michael Bay film, the other, a drug mule or in this case, drug pigeon). And we talk about the man who spent thousands of dollars to have a very realistic wolf suit made so he could escape human relationships. You can't make this up. Please say "I do" to this week's ep and take a listen! crissy & anne --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crissy-shropshire/message

For one month (the shortest one at that), Anne is allowing Crissy to pick the films. So get ready for a month of America's Sweethearts in their most notable rom-coms. First up is perhaps the Grand Poobah of them all, Meg Ryan and her classic, "When Harry Met Sally". If the film were titled, "When Anne Met Harry", it would have been a short as she feels nothing but irritation for him. But we discuss Meg's best leading men, if men and women can in fact be friends and also one of her lesser known films, "Joe vs the Volcano". It's jam packed. Plus we cover all the news you may have missed this week such as the Florida burglars who called the police on themselves, a man given quite the value meal at a drive thru McDonalds and Mississippi toddler who ate the family pet (none of the blame goes to the toddler).  We have a lot of love for this one - hope you do too!
