Hopeless Romantics

Jude Law, Jude Law, Jude Law the end. This would have been my version of the podcast if I did it alone. Lucky for you, this week one of my besties Claudia joins me as we dive into one of our joint favourite films...the heartwarming, hilarious swoon-fest that is The Holiday. It may be a Christmas film, but it can be watched any time of year. What a cast! What a script! What a film! Get involved in...

Mhairi McFarlane has done it again with a hilarious, sharp, witty and emotional read that had as laughing (out loud) and crying (also out loud). Oh and as far as book boyfriends go, Lucas McCarthy and his jet black hair and broody stare (and hidden wealth...ca-ching!!!) is up there. I'm joined once again by the super smart and generally fantastic Natasha Stamos, who you can get around here. As alw...

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. Got thoughts? Hit up our Hopeless...

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...

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 not...

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...

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...

We're back baby, and this episode is a ROLLERCOASTER OF THOUGHTS FEELINGS AND SO MUCH LAUGHTER! What a book. What a guest host. What a time to be alive. Broadcaster/loose unit Jess Farchione joins me this week, and we're tackling 'Fourth Wing' author Rebecca Yarros' WW2 romance 'The Things We Leave Unfinished'. We have some thoughts. Some horny thoughts. Some swoonworthy thoughts. Some confused th...

'Don't cry, shopgirl' I'm crying, you're crying, we're all crying! The incredible Natasha Stamos joins me on this episode as we dissect the greatest romcom of all time (according to me), 'You've Got Mail'. Is Joe a big, gaslighting asshole? Or the loveliest man alive? (it's the second, obviously). Have your own thoughts? Hit up the Hopeless Hotline anytime with a text or a voicemail on 0483 966 50...

We love ourselves some Emily Henry, and 'Funny Story has not let us down. Jordon Lott joins me for EPISODE ONE which is just one big Miles Nowak swoon-fest (who knew crocs could be hot?) There's laughter. There's tears. There's hard nipples. Wanna get involved with the show? The Hopeless Hotline is open anytime for your texts or voicemails on 0483 966 500. Hosted on Acast.
