Go Get Your Girl: A Podcast about Romantic Comedies

In this episode, Go Get Your Girl  hops a  giant hamster wheel straight into Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga, the Netflix fever dream where national pride, questionable accents, and pop anthems collide. We break down Lars and Sigrit’s journey from tiny Icelandic town to the world’s campy stage, asking the big questions: Is “Ja Ja Ding Dong” the greatest song ever written? Did the elve...

Happy New Year! We get right to the point on this one, and get right out. Our shortest episode ever, and who says that's a bad thing? It's cold outside, we're probably at war with Venezuela, a brief interlude under  some sun might do us all some good. 

It's time to go up on the Hudge-top with another Vanessa Hudgens Christmas spectacular! Vanessa Hudgens meets Vanessa Hudgens, chaos meets cocoa, and royal protocol gets absolutely body-checked by bakery girl energy (who is absolutely from Chicago- she has the hat to prove it!). Help us close out this year's Go Get Your Ho-Ho-Ho's with this Netflix classic.

Get ready for the most deranged movie we've ever watched on this podcast! Ada-Rhodes Wish joins Emma & Katie to talk about this fever dream of a lesbian Christmas romance that takes on teen pregnancy, the Catholic Church, and, well, lots of other things. It's certainly something unique! Fact Check: Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) was State's Attorney and then later the Governor of Illinois on The...

Emma and Katie are dreaming of a White Christmas! This week, we’re sliding into White Christmas with jazz hands, questionable military logic, and enough harmony to melt snow on contact. Bing Crosby is crooning, Danny Kaye is doing the absolute most, and every emotional problem is apparently solved by putting on a show in Vermont. We are dive into Bing's creepily blue eyes, Vera's inane dance moves...

Holy Buckets! Emma & Katie catch the El back to 1995 for this holiday classic. We have train talk, CDs, Christmas cops, some Chicago history, but mostly, a mea culpa to PAFG Madison, please forgive us.  Fact Check: Wolfy's hot dogs is on Peterson, not Foster.

Tis the season friends! It's the grand kick-off of 2025's Go Get Your Ho Ho Ho's!! And what a perfect way to start than with the very bland, very low stakes Christmas Classic 2022's Haul Out The Holly. Emma and Katie chat all things Hallmark with this Lacey Chabert vehicle. How did this movie spawn 2 separate sequels?! You'll have to tune in to find out!

Alright, alright, alright y'all, it's not a romcom but it's a fun, sexy time so just indulge us on this one. Emma & Katie talk birthday tarot, nepo babies, multiple dreadful euphemisms, normalizing female horniness, and neither ask nor answer the question of why Emma can't seem to pronounce anyone's names in this. 

Get ready to help seal the Honmoon! This week Emma & Katie dive into the 2025 global phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters!! This week they ask what happens when you combine Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jem and the Holograms, Sailor Moon and Josie and the Pussycats; The answer is GOLDEN! There will be Shadow Daddies, a brief introspective on the KPop machine (a la Katie-style) and SO MUCH MORE! So tune i...

CW:Self Harm Suffer with us through this surface level rehash of the graduate that every 25 year old (male) film school grad feels like they have to make. We talk F*R*I*E*N*D*S, Funerals, and Fucking, and the early career of JJ Abrams

It's HOA HOA HOA season girlies! And this isn't your standard review of the 2008 masterpiece Twilight. This is an in depth look at how the Catherine Hardwick original personally tormented Katie's mind!!!! We spend a record amount of time discussing how this film became a cultural phenomenon and how the com can come from bad writing. HOA HOA HOA folks!!

Its a slow boat to Vancouver as Emma & Katie talk about the 8th Friday the 13th movie for some reason, and also the current state of this country, the Music Box of Horrors 2025, Batman, more than a little bit about Birdman, Times Square through the years, and of course, the ever present threat of toxic waste.

The girls are on board and BABES — this train does not have Wi-Fi, snacks, or emotional stability. This week on Go Get Your Girl , we’re watching Train to Busan , the South Korean zombie masterpiece that said “what if your commute… but make it traumatic?” We’re talking zombie Pilates in the aisles, a dad who discovers feelings way too late , and one baseball himbo who deserved the world. It’s high...

It's our 100th Episode, baby! Emma & Katie celebrate 2 years of podcasting with one of their fave movies of all time, the 1999 cinematic masterpiece, The Mummy.  We also discuss the malls of Kansas City, MO, fan conventions, the embarrassment that comes from loving something, the lost art of the commentary track, what good ever came from reading a book, and if you listen close you can hea...

Ghosts? Gaslighting? Eleanor being the WORST? We must be at Hill House. 👻 This week on Go Get Your Girl , we’re spiraling alongside Eleanor in The Haunting (1963) — the black-and-white fever dream where the walls breathe and the lesbians thrive (kinda). Tune in for haunted mansions, questionable men, and one woman’s slow descent into “the house is flirting with me” madness. It’s spooky, it’s sexy...

It's spooky season again, which means it's time to temporarily transform into Go Get Your GHOUL! For the next month we will be covering horror movies instead, and we're kicking off this year with the classic slasher about that "weirdo" Freddy Krueger,  A Nightmare on Elm Street. We also talk about The Current Situation, My Chemical Romance, we debut our new motto, "Let's get laid," Emma demon...

Forget glass slippers—Danielle brings books, swords, and a backbone. This week Emma and Katie discuss Ever After:  the Cinderella retelling where Drew Barrymore rescues the prince, Angelica Huston steals every scene, and Leonardo da Vinci shows up as your iconic Fairy Godmother. Come for the jaw dropping costumes, stay for the historic inaccuracies.

Context. It was 2008. It was a very different time. The Girls Next Door was one of the hottest shows on cable, Emma & Katie go deep on what exactly was in the water back then, and also the whole deal with Playboy, Sororities, nostalgia blinders for bad movies, and the leagility of raw milk.  Also, bad news about Marvin. Woof.

Grab your pointe shoes and emotional baggage — we’re heading back to the American Ballet Academy! This week, Emma and Katie are talking Center Stage — the deliciously dramatic, dance-filled Y2K masterpiece that gave us love triangles, toe blisters, and one truly iconic final number (yes, we’re still dancing to Jamiroquai). They break down Jody’s rebellious pirouettes, Eva’s IDGAF attitude, and Coo...

Emma & Katie discuss the 2017 romcom/dramedy The Big Sick, plan a trip to (1930s) Hollywood, and tell husbands everywhere to please put down the switch.  Also, listen as Emma says the word "comic" repeatedly to try to segue into the episode, and Katie changes the subject over and over. 

It's time for a DISNEY! Emma and Katie dive into the 2010 Disney revival Tangled. They chat expensive animated films, Katie shows off her Disney knowledge skills and how this became the first Disney princess movie to achieve a PG rating (for violence and probably also Mother Gothel's gaslighting)

Emma & Katie discuss the 2001 romcom Kate & Leopold, and Katie gets wrapped around the axle on the historical inaccuracies (there's a lot). We talk about the plague of flatironed chunky highlights at the turn of the century, the old days of digital cameras and social media, make plans to go to adult summer camp together, and learn that fundamental fact: Movies are a lie. 

Emma & Katie are joined by Kate and Kevin from the Horrorwood podcast to talk about the classic 1936 screwball comedy My Man Godfrey, and also the politics of killing bugs, Equity auditions, sanitization in Community Theatre, The Great Depression, Nicky and Paris Hilton, Rotten Tomatoes, RIP This Guy, and the disparity of the social classes in the 1930s. Cut from this episode : Emma massively...

This is a story of podcasters watching boy meet girl. But you should all know up front listeners, this is not a love story....Emma and Katie chat all things twee with the 2009 manic pixie dream girl of a movie 500 Days of Summer. They discuss how Joseph Gordon Levitt's Tom is the worst and question if the filmmakers knew that at the time or not. Also just for the record, Jenny Beckmen- you were NO...

Emma & Katie get wedding fever and talk about the 2019 romcom Plus One, and also: who does and doesn't have shingles, what sound does a cricket make?, The Guillotine, Emma almost kisses everyone she meets, boners don't lie, the 1999 Mummy, and why we won't watch a Star War.
