Season 3, Episode 4 | While You Were Sleeping (1995)

Happy holidays from Gabby & Amy! Our gift to you is an episode about the delightful romcom While You Were Sleeping. Released to little fanfare in the summer of 1995, the film established Sandra Bullock as a leading lady and exceeded box office and critics' expectations. Gabby and Amy revisit the film and find its gentle sweetness and farcical rhythms as fresh as a blue spruce.

Season 2, Episode 9 | The Way We Were (1973) & The Virgin Suicides (1999)

Chick Flicks with Gabby & Amy brings you A Very Special Super '70s Double Feature of The Way We Were and The Virgin Suicides. While seemingly different, the films share an elegiac tone, a dreamy nostalgia, and origins as 1970s artifacts (plus appearances by James Woods, randomly). Come along as we delve into the idiosyncrasies and profundities of these two period pieces. 

CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses suicide. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Season 2, Episode 8 | Ghost (1990)

If younger listeners know the 1990 film Ghost at all, it's for the famous and much-spoofed pottery wheel love scene between Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. But the movie is much more than a soapy romance. It's a strange Franken-movie that combines elements of supernatural thriller, buddy comedy (Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg make a great comedic duo), murder mystery, and metaphysical romance—and somehow works. Despite its idiosyncrasies, it was a huge hit, winning two Oscars and becoming the highest-grossing film of 1990. Gabby and Amy revisit the film and find it as unique and moving as it ever was.

Season 2, Episode 7 | To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018)

What better way to celebrate the beginning of spring than with a teenage romcom? To All the Boys I've Loved Before tells the story of Lara Jean Covey, a romance-novel-loving teen who writes (but does not send) love letters to her crushes. When those unsent letters get delivered to her crushes, she tries to avoid total embarrassment by entering into a fake relationship with one of the recipients of the letters, a popular boy named Peter Kavinsky. Will real feelings develop? Of course! But the inevitability of their love does not detract from the enjoyment of watching it develop. Gabby and Amy discuss the many delights of this recent YA adaptation and make a case for its inclusion in the new chick flick canon.

Season 2, Episode 6 | Good Will Hunting (1997)

In honor of Women's History Month, Gabby and Amy have decided to strike a blow against the patriarchy by absolutely shredding the Oscar-winning fetid brofest that is Good Will Hunting. Famously written by childhood friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the movie presents itself as a sophisticated and emotionally mature look at a troubled but brilliant young man. But instead of deconstructing toxic masculinity, it reinforces it in ways its creators do not seem aware of. No stars.

Season 2, Episode 5 | The Cutting Edge (1992)

Gabby and Amy break the ice in 2023 with the 1992 romcom/sports movie The Cutting Edge starring Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney. A relic of the 1990s' figure-skating boom, the film elevates tried and true tropes through punchy dialogue, winning performances, and breezy pacing, delivering an irresistible romp and a catch phrase for the (ice) ages. #toepick

Season 2, Episode 4 | When Harry Met Sally (1989)

Did Nora Ephron create the modern-day romantic comedy with When Harry Met Sally? Yes. Are we forever grateful? Also yes. Is it the perfect romantic-comedy holiday movie? Gabby and Amy discuss.

Season 2, Episode 3 | Practical Magic (1998)

It's Spooky Szn here at Chick Flicks with Gabby & Amy, and we are celebrating the imperfect witchiness of 1998's Practical Magic. Though limited by tonal problems and narrative gaps, the movie's cast, aesthetics, soundtrack, and inherent potent symbolism salvage the supernatural story.

Season 2, Episodes 1 & 2 | The Great Jane Austen Extravaganza! (Parts I & II)

Gabby and Amy kick off season two with a deep dive into the cinematic universe of Jane Austen. They are joined by Austen scholar Juliette Wells, who discusses her introduction to Austen, what role Austen would have enjoyed in film making, why Colin Firth is the best Darcy, bad filmic adaptations of Austen, the importance of fashion and hair, Austen's disinterest in physical descriptions, and why no one should have skinny arms in a Regency-era film.

Season 1, Episode 9 | Roman Holiday (1953)

Classics don't get more classic than Roman Holiday. The 1953 romantic comedy, written by Dalton Trumbo, introduced Audrey Hepburn to American audiences and paired her with debonair leading man Gregory Peck. It launched her career and further solidified his status as one of America's favorite leading men. Does their star power still endure almost 70 years later? Amy and Gabby discuss.

Season 1, Episode 8 | ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION (1997)

Romy & Michele's High School Reunion arrived in the spring of 1997 with little fanfare, but has since become a cult classic thanks to inspired comedic performances by Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, a witty and lighthearted script, eye-catching costumes by Mona May, and a super fun soundtrack. Join Gabby and Amy as they enumerate the many virtues of this female buddy pic. #businesswomensspecial

Season 1, Episode 7 | FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (1991)

This beloved chronicle of Southern female friendship was lauded by GLAAD at the time of its release for its portrayal of a lesbian relationship, though not everyone agreed its depictions of lesbianism and race were empowering. Having watched it as children, Amy and Gabby's mostly just remembered how sad it was. Now they revisit the '90s classic with fresh adult eyes and find both its charm and its shortcomings readily apparent.

Season 1, Episode 6 | BRIDESMAIDS (2011)

You may think that Bridesmaids is a frothy and filthy farce about the wedding-industrial complex and female friendship—and you would be correct. But more than that, its critical and commercial success also (temporarily) neutered the sexist argument that women aren't funny and that a comedy with an all-female cast can't succeed.

Season 1, Episode 5 | LOVE & BASKETBALL (2000)

Gabby and Amy discuss Gina Prince-Bythewood's Love & Basketball, a seminal romantic drama that is superficially a sports movie, but in actuality tackles love, family dynamics, career aspirations, and the meaning of success.
