Podcasts about bridesmaids

Before we read this story Jesus told, I want you to do something. I want you to see it. Don’t just read the words on the page. Step into the story. Picture the wedding. Picture the bride. Picture the bridesmaids. Picture the anticipation of the groom’s arrival. To really understand what Jesus is saying, we need to understand a little about Jewish weddings in His day. There were several important stages in the Jewish wedding process. First came the arrangement. The families were involved in establishing the marriage, and there were formal agreements and financial arrangements that made the commitment serious and binding. Then came the betrothal. This was far more significant than what we think of as an engagement today. The couple was legally committed to one another. Promises were made. A covenant was established. And then came the waiting. This is where I want you to really picture the scene. The groom would leave and return to his father’s household because he had work to do. He was preparing a place for his bride. He was getting everything ready for the day they would finally be together. But the bride wasn’t sitting around doing nothing. She had work to do, too. She was preparing herself. Preparing her clothing. Preparing for the celebration. Preparing for her new life as a wife. And here’s the part that makes this story so beautiful: She didn’t know exactly when he was coming back. She knew he was coming. She just didn’t know when. So imagine waking up every morning thinking, Could it be today? Imagine hearing a noise outside and wondering, Is that him? Imagine living in a constant state of anticipation because you know the one you’ve been promised to is coming for you—but you don’t know the day or the hour. And then, one night… The announcement comes. The groom is coming! The bridesmaids grab their lamps and rush out to meet him. Their job is to join the procession, light the way, and lead the groom back to the wedding celebration where the bride is waiting. This wasn’t a quiet little ceremony. It was a celebration. A procession. A moment everyone had been waiting for. And Jesus begins His story with ten bridesmaids who are all waiting for the exact same thing: The groom is coming. But here’s the problem… Not all ten of them are ready. And that’s where Jesus wants us to lean in. Matthew 25: 1-14: (A few terms to know – bridesmaids are as they are today, the bride’s attendants. The bridedroom is the groom, the man getting married.) Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The five who were foolish didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps, but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!' All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.' But the others replied, ‘We don't have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.' But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked. Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!' But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don't know you!' So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return. Oh dang. What happened here? What is this warning for us today? The bridesmaids had a job to do. They were supposed to be ready for the groom. But half of them weren’t prepared. And here’s what gets me: they were all there. They were in the right place. They were waiting for the right person. They knew the groom was coming. They even had lamps. But half of them didn’t have what they needed when the moment came. And when the groom finally arrived, there was no time left to get ready. The moment they had been preparing for this entire time was suddenly here—and they weren’t ready for it. Because they weren’t prepared, they missed the celebration. They weren’t rejected because they didn’t know about the groom. They weren’t left out because they weren’t invited. They were left out because they weren’t ready. PEOPLE, GET READY! So who is Jesus talking about? Who is the groom? Who is the bride? Who are the bridesmaids? And what is this wedding feast? The groom is Jesus. Earlier in Matthew, Jesus refers to Himself as the bridegroom. When people ask Jesus why His disciples aren’t fasting, Jesus answers: “Can the wedding guests mourn while celebrating with the groom?” (9:15) Jesus is telling them, The Groom is here. But He also tells them that there will be a time when the groom will be taken away. He will leave. And that’s exactly what happens. Jesus is crucified, resurrected, and then ascends to the Father. The Groom leaves—but He has promised to come back. And that puts us right into the story. The bride is the Church—the people who belong to Jesus. Jesus is preparing a place. Jesus will return. And Scripture ultimately describes His return as a wedding celebration—the great wedding feast of the Lamb. Revelation 19:7, “Let us be glad and rejoice… for the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself.” So where does that leave the bridesmaids? That’s us. In this story Jesus is telling, ten bridesmaids represent people who are waiting for Jesus. And notice something important: All ten were waiting. All ten had lamps. All ten knew the groom was coming. All ten expected to be part of the celebration. But only five were prepared. That’s the warning Jesus is giving us. You can be around the things of God and still not be ready for God. You can know the stories. You can go to church. You can carry a Bible. You can sing the songs. You can call yourself a Christian. You can even be waiting for Jesus. But Jesus isn’t asking, “Are you around Me?” He’s asking, “Are you ready for Me?” Because eventually, the waiting will end. The Groom is coming. And when He comes, there will be no more time to prepare. So Jesus says: “Keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” People, get ready. The question wasn’t “Do you believe in the one who is coming?” The question was, “Are you ready for him when he comes?” Jesus wants us to LIVE READY FOR HIM! Here’s what this is really about – THE OIL. The 5 bridesmaids without oil weren’t invited to the wedding feast. The 5 bridesmaids with oil couldn’t give them their own oil, each had to have oil for themselves. You need your own oil. What is this oil – this is your relationship with Jesus. Others can do many things for you, but no one can have your relationship with Jesus for you. You can’t live on someone else’s faith. When it’s wedding time, your own faith will be required. This faith relationship will be required when Jesus returns for us – and you simply don’t know when that day will be. It could be today! So how do we live ready? Because Jesus isn’t telling us this story so we can become obsessed with predicting when He’s coming. He’s telling us so that we’ll be ready whenever He comes. And that’s a very different thing. Living ready doesn’t mean living scared. It means living surrendered. It means waking up every morning and saying, “Jesus, if You have something for me today, I’m available.” If You say go, I’ll go. If You say stay, I’ll stay. If You say forgive, I’ll forgive. If You say surrender, I’ll surrender. If You say speak, I’ll speak. If You say be quiet, I’ll be quiet. Readiness isn’t perfection. Readiness is responsiveness. The wise bridesmaids prepared before they needed to be prepared. They didn’t wait until midnight to go looking for oil. They had been preparing while they were waiting. And that’s what our relationship with Jesus is supposed to look like. You don’t wait for the crisis to learn how to trust Him. You don’t wait for the heartbreak to learn how to surrender. You don’t wait for the temptation to decide what you believe. You don’t wait until you’re desperate to start praying. You fill your lamp while there’s still daylight. You spend time with Jesus now. You learn His Word now. You practice obedience now. You surrender the little things now. You deal with the unforgiveness now. You say yes to His invitations now. Because you don’t know when Jesus is returning – but you need to be ready. And here’s the beautiful thing: The wise bridesmaids weren’t ready because they were afraid the groom might come. They were ready because they were excited that he might come. That’s how I want to live. Not terrified that Jesus might return. Thrilled that He will. I don’t want to spend my life hoping Jesus doesn’t come back until I’ve had a chance to do everything I want to do. I want to live so close to Jesus that when I hear the announcement: “The groom is here!”, I don’t want to run and hide. I want to run toward Him. The question for God’s girls today is, “Am I living like someone who expects Jesus?” If Jesus walked through that door today, would you be excited to see Him? Or would you immediately think of the things you’d wish you had made right? Why are you waiting? The goal isn’t to spend your whole life trying to figure out when Jesus is coming. The goal is to live every day as though you would be thrilled if He came today. PEOPLE, GET READY. Keep your lamp burning. Keep your heart soft. Keep saying yes. Keep walking with Jesus. Keep your relationship with Him alive and growing. Because the groom is coming. And when He comes, I don’t want to be scrambling to get ready. I want to already be ready. I want to be able to lift my head, see Jesus, and say: “I’ve been waiting for You.” Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamela Or Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crim Find out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com

Right before recording this, Krysta was scrolling and hit a Heather McMahon clip threatening to scream if she saw the "preparing for the Netflix documentary" trend one more time. A few weeks earlier, everyone and their mother memed the Empire State Building proposal flag, and she didn't read half of them. There's an acronym she learned from a journalism professor in college for exactly this feeling: MEGO. My eyes glaze over. Four clients in the last few weeks have asked her some version of "do I have to do the trend if I'm not feeling it?" This episode is the answer: people are bored, and the way we've been teaching everyone to make content is why.In this episode we dive into:• Why Instagram feels like the same hook, carousel, and handful of opinions repackaged• The difference between studying content and copying it• Where content ideas actually come from when they don't come from your feed• A seven-day challenge to break the scroll-first habitEveryone Is Pulling From the Same Pile of Ingredients• The advice is identical everywhere: look at what's performing, save the trending formats, download the hundred hooks, ask ChatGPT to adapt someone's viral reel• Krysta teaches some of these tactics. Studying content is a real skill and part of your job in 2026. The problem is when it's your only input• Add AI tools that all write with the same formulas, and everyone starts to sound the same• Here's the mindfuck: you're going to Instagram to find the idea that will make you stand out on Instagram• If you're consistently in the state of copying, you're always number twoStudying Content Isn't the Same as Copying It• Copying asks: what hook, what audio, what format, how long, what's on slide one• Studying the mechanics asks: why would someone care, what's happening culturally that makes this relevant, what makes someone send it to a friend• It's not about being a good student of content. It's about being really good at studying people• The trend isn't the problem, the copy-paste is. "Five things absolutely worth the money" was a fun trend. "Five inexpensive things I'll keep buying" rides it and stands outYour Material Is Not on Your Phone• The question Krysta asks clients to source ideas has nothing to do with social: what did you do this past weekend?• The cyclospora reel: a Slack thread with a client became a Bridesmaids bridal shop bit, "maybe you shouldn't eat a salad this weekend." Stupid viral, 30 new followers, and they laughed the entire time making it• The bar is lower than you think. She's made content out of her dog pooping on the carpet and turned it into a fat loss analogy• Three conversations about AI overheard in one coffee shop, AirPods out, gave her perspectives that don't exist inside the rectangle• The barrier to entry dropped, so the bar for taste, nuance, and actual opinion goes way upFix Tip of the WeekGo for a walk this week and raw dog it. No headphones, no podcast, no scrolling. Twenty minutes where your brain isn't processing another voice. Don't make it productive. Just take the walk.This Week's ExerciseFor the next seven days, when you sit down to generate content ideas, fight the urge to open Instagram first. Go to a client call recording, a Slack thread, texts with your friends, the news, something you overheard. Then DM Krysta the idea you found off your phone.No Such Thing of the WeekThere's no such thing as being number one if you copied your way there. You'll always be number two.Looking for more?

This movie starts at 36 seconds into the episode. Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg made a movie that's not a spoof! Not exactly. 2013's found footage comedy BEST NIGHT EVER was influenced by Bridesmaids but... is it even better? Of course not! This movie stinks but we watched the whole thing! Maybe their absolute worst film with a cast of no names and an ending that sickened us.

Determined to make things perfect, she gamely leads Lillian and the other bridesmaids down the wild road to the wedding.

While women have been featured in comedy films since the beginning of the motion picture, around the 1980s, studios seemed to realize: women are funny, and women can be big business.

You might not know the name Annie Mumolo but chances are you have seen her work. She's co-written films with Kristen Wiig, including Bridesmaids and Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. Annie has been writing and performing all her life, but it's her latest breakout role in the HBO show Rooster that's got people talking. Annie sat down with Tom Power to talk about how much fun she had making that show, what it's like to act with Steve Carell, and her thoughts on the Bridesmaids phenomenon.

The fans have decided for us this week and the movie where someone farts or shits that we review will be Bridesmaids.  Is this comedy as iconic as people say it is?  Tune in and find out!!!

Sometimes a book-to-film adaptation tiptoes onto the big screen and politely asks for your attention — and then there's THE HOUSEMAID, which in late 2025 kicked down the door, winked at the audience, and became a runaway hit. What began as a novel marketed squarely to women suddenly transformed into a blockbuster for, well, anyone over 18 with a taste for psychological chaos and Sydney Sweeney giving the camera that “I know something you don't” stare. Amanda Seyfried joined the party, too, because why not make things even more deliciously unhinged.IMDB sums it up with admirable restraint: Millie, a struggling young woman, becomes a live‑in maid for a wealthy couple, Nina and Andrew, and promptly finds herself in a mansion stuffed with secrets, manipulation, and psychological games. In other words, it's less “dust the shelves” and more “try not to get emotionally vaporized by your employers.” The house itself practically deserves its own billing — every hallway feels like it's whispering, “Turn back now,” but of course Millie does not.Directed by Paul Feig — yes, the same Paul Feig who gave us Bridesmaids and apparently woke up one day and chose psychological warfare — and written for the screen by Rebecca Sonnenshine, the film also stars Brandon Sklenar as the male lead who may or may not be part of the problem (spoiler: he is). With a modest $35M budget and a swaggering $400M box‑office haul, the movie charmed critics, thrilled audiences, and probably made Freida McFadden, the author of the novel, do a very happy victory lap. Now your cohosts dive into the madness and share their thoughts, hopefully without getting pulled into any dangerous relationship dynamics themselves.

Wait a minute. We have comedy royalty in The Carriage House this week, pardon me. Joining us is none other than Annie Mumolo!  Of course you know her as the Oscar nominated writer of BRIDESMAIDS, but she's just as prolific in front of the camera in hits like BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR, THIS IS 40, BAD MOMS, and much more.

On episode 346 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer, Mark Johnson, and Josh Parham to go back 15 years and take a look at the 84th Academy Awards, covering the films of 2011. On this week's retrospective, the AW team returns from Cannes to take a look back at the 84th Oscars, one that was known for having a great selection of films to choose from that the Academy decided to mostly ignore for more middle of the road, safer choices. This lead to a winner that is not remembered as much for a film that defined the year, both from a critical and commercial aspect, and also lead to one of the worst wins in the Best Actress category. So given the nature of the show and the game played by the AW team, change is a coming for 2011, as the following films were mentioned over the courses of lengthy discussions over every category; Weekend, Contagion, Shame, Melancholia, Crazy Stupid Love, Take Shelter, Killer Joe, The Skin I Live In, 50/50, as well as films that were already nominees getting more love like Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Warrior, The Tree of Life, Drive, Bridesmaids, and more. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 2011, briefly discuss talk about The Artist as a Best Picture winner, and how that speaks to the legacy of their nominates and or wins, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to four films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h52m. We will be back in next week for a review round-up episode discussing some of the newest releases in theaters like Obsession, Backrooms, Masters of the Universe, Power Ballad, Blue Film, Blue Heron, and more. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Rose Byrne starred in big box office comedies like ‘Bridesmaids' and ‘Neighbors,' and, more recently, the indie film ‘If I Had Legs I'd Kick You,' which kind of defies genre. It's about a woman trying to care of her sick daughter while her life is unraveling. “In many ways, it tapped into the monster within and the fear of being a parent and the horror of being a parent – and some of the joy, too.” Her raw performance won a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination this year. Now Byrne is nominated for a Tony for her performance in a revival of Noël Coward's play ‘Fallen Angels.' She spoke with producer Ann Marie Baldonado. Later, TV critic Davie Bianculli reflects on the end of ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' The final episode airs tonight. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Today, I am joined by the hilarious comedic powerhouse Wendi McLendon-Covey, and we are diving deep into her latest role on the hit series St. Denis Medical, trust me, you'll die for her stories from the set. We also tackle the aftermath of the Kevin Hart roast, debating whether the art of the roast has finally crossed the line or if people just need to toughen up for the sake of comedy. Of course, we couldn't ignore Wendi's iconic turn in Bridesmaids; I share my personal pitch for what the sequel should look like, and it is a total game-changer. Finally, we get into the heavy-hitting Bravo tea, from the messy divorce drama between Dorit and PK, including the latest on her living situation, to the explosive scandal of a Real Housewife allegedly sleeping with West from Summer House. Plus, we're breaking down the fresh drama coming out of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island. -Head to DailyLook.com to take your style quiz and use code JUICYSCOOP for 50% off your first order. -Head to Quince.com/juicy for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. -Our listeners can buy one prescription pair and get 20% off additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/JUICYSCOOP — and using our link helps support the show. #WarbyParker #ad  -Download Cash AppToday: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/9l268n36 #CashAppPod. Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Forgive us our slight post-Oscar delay, dear listeners, but here we are for our eighth annual year-end review show, which we call 2025: Juke Joints and a Few Small Beers in honor of two of the year's (and perhaps the decade's or even the century's) most unforgettable films. This episode represents an exciting step for us as, for the first time, we welcome a guest: the redoubtable Kerry Cowan, brilliant teacher, lifelong film fan, and an old old friend of mine. Looking back at the year in film that was 2025, we noted that this was the first year since we started back in 2018 that we all really had trouble narrowing the field to a top ten. In the past, we've often had to stretch for the last couple, ending up with Top 7 or Top 8 lists. This year, as you shall see below and hear within, our problem was what to leave off. In a year of triumphs from sources both expected and unexpected, perhaps the best thing about the year was the return to form of some of our favorite directors: Coogler with "Sinners", PTA with "One Battle", our beloved Chloe with "Hamnet", Aronofsky with the underseen "Caught Stealing", Del Toro with "Frankenstein", Aster with "Eddington", Bigelow with "House of Dynamite" and the astonishing Richard Linklater with not one but two wonderful films. As always, we considered the eternal question of which of these films will be watched by anyone in 25 years, let alone show up the Sight and Sound poll in 2032. No doubt whatsoever about "Sinners" and "One Battle". I would throw "Eddington" on that list, as uneven as it is, since it points to a vivid moment in the American pageant, reminding us exactly when it was that we lost our minds. "Hamnet" will surely be there, and we suspect that the luminous "Train Dreams" might have some legs down the road. With Michael in the lead, we all loved "Sentimental Value" (besides the facial morph montage). None of us cared much for "Bugonia", though I actually came within 10 minutes of liking a Lanthimos film before that ending. We also ended up underwhelmed by "Marty Supreme", which personally killed me with its 50's setting clashing with 80's synth-pop throughout. Yes, we would have gotten the idea that the go-go Wall Street/American Psycho 80's had its roots in figures from the 50's like Marty without being hit over the head with it musically. Trust your audience, filmmakers! As for the Oscars themselves, it was another great party this year, only slightly spoiled by the fact that Michael won the pool by a landslide again this year. It's now 98 years and running with no black person winning for Best Director, but it's hard to complain about Paul Thomas Anderson finally winning after 14 nominations in almost 30 years of work. And the Cinematography award going to Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman and black person to win that one, indicates that we may in fact be making progress. And they got it right with Michael B (finally), the lit-from-within Jessie Buckley (best acceptance speech), and "Sentimental Value"'s win for Foreign Language Film. As for the show itself, Conan was fine, though the bits were hit and miss as usual. We loved the "Bridesmaids" reunion, the "Moulin Rouge!" one not so much, and loved the painfully accurate "Casablanca" bit with Sterling K. Brown where plot elements have to be restated every couple of minutes or so to accommodate declining attention spans. And they finally got the necrology right, though we wish we had more time to see who came onstage for Rob Reiner; Rachel McAdams' tribute to Diane Keaton was lovely, but it did turn out that Babs' singing voice was not exactly like butter. So kick back, relax, and enjoy Kerry's star turn as our D'Artagnan, our Fourth Musketeer, as Team Vintage Sand reflects and reports on what was perhaps the best year in film since we started this lunacy some eight years ago, in the Before Time.

Before there were algorithms and tape submissions and studio approved lists, Allison Jones was sitting in the back rows of comedy clubs — memorizing faces, taking notes, and developing the kind of taste that can't be taught. In the second episode of our Wired to Create series, Kelly sits down with the casting director whose fingerprints are on some of the most beloved comedies ever made — from Freaks and Geeks to Bridesmaids to Barbie — to talk about what she's really looking for when someone walks into the room, why "funny or not funny" is still her most reliable compass, and what gets lost when studio oversight starts to crowd out pure creative instinct. This episode was made possible by a grant from the Walton Family Foundation. To learn more, please visit: waltonfamilyfoundation.org. Allison and Kelly mention writer/director/producer Judd Apatow in this episode.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (3.10) This episode has everything: heat, poop, pop culture, and pure chaos. We kick things off with a conversation about the heat and, somehow, poop, before getting into why The Foosh is boldly wearing a Shania Twain T-shirt in public. Then we jump into the headlines, including the woman accused of shooting at Rihanna’s Los Angeles home now being charged with attempted murder. We also get into the bizarre details of the case, including the suspect allegedly calling Rihanna a “witch” in a video, and settle the important question of how Rihanna actually pronounces her name: Ree-AN-nuh. Plus, we talk about Bridesmaids possibly reuniting on stage 15 years later, and with the Oscars just days away, we take a look at the Governor’s Ball menu.
