Podcasts about Bridget Jones

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I can't believe it's taken this long, but this week I am finally talking to my friend and Battlestar legend James Callis! On Battlestar, James played Dr. Gaius Baltar. He is also known for playing best friend Tom in the Bridget Jones' Diary movies, as well as appearances in Star Trek: Picard, 12 Monkeys, Arrow and most recently as Claude Whelan in Slow Horses. James was an intimidating person for me to interview — he's so smart about acting (and about everything else) and he plays a really good bad guy— but in this conversation, you get to see his goofy side and his tender side too. James is an incredible dad and I loved getting to talk to him about how fatherhood helps him keep the nonsense of life on set in perspective. He has also worked with some of the greatest actors of all time and we discuss what traits Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif all have in common. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I'm so happy I got to see James in person! Enjoy the episode and check out our Patreon for an extended hindsight where my producer Jeph and I discuss James and all things Battlestar in more detail.

We're back with author and journalist Sophia Money-Coutts, who joins Jack, Seann and Sara to talk all things love, loss and her new book "The Year of the Dog" ! We hear all about how the breakup left her holding the puppy, and the chaos and joy of dog life with Dennis that followed. There's also plenty of seasonal silliness - Dolly versus autumn leaves, Wylda taking charge, and losing track of Mildred's dog poos. Plus, Sara's got a new piercing, the gang had a big night out without Seann, and our listeners share funny moments with their dogs.

In 1995, a single 30-something woman with big knickers and blue soup first appeared in a weekly column, published by British newspaper The Independent.Initially written anonymously by journalist Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones quickly became a cultural icon, as she tried to make sense of life and love.The book, Bridget Jones's Diary, became a best-seller in 1996 and the character has gone on to feature in three more books and four films. Although, some people don't agree with Bridget's obsession with her size and men, her relatability is a hit with many. Bridget's creator Helen Fielding looks back, with Megan Jones, at how one column, published 30 years ago, turned into a cultural phenomenon. Clips featured in the programme are from the film, Bridget Jones's Diary. The production companies behind it were Working Title Films, Universal Pictures, Miramax and StudioCanal. It was directed by Sharon Maguire. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: Helen Fielding at a book signing.

Enquêtrice de la fabrique des images Murielle Joudet le répète à l'envi : « Il faut prendre les actrices au sérieux, restituer avec justice et justesse leur importance dans nos vies, prendre en compte comment certaines ont su manœuvrer pour continuer d'apparaître telles qu'en elles-mêmes, y compris dans des films où le regard masculin est apparemment tout-puissant. Sans pour autant tomber dans l'illusion de leur liberté absolue car, bien sûr, l'industrie est là, souveraine. » Dans son troisième livre plein d'esprit, La seconde femme, elle dresse huit portraits de comédiennes qu'elle observe « jusqu'à plus soif » pour comprendre ce que Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Brigitte Bardot ou son idole Bette Davis réussirent à imposer au système dans le deuxième acte de leur carrière – à force de travail, de bâtons de dynamite ou de simple désertion.Ces derniers temps, Murielle Joudet a aimé Monte-Cristo version Pierre Niney, Max Mad : Furiosa, Joker 2, Bridget Jones 4, France de Bruno Dumont, The Substance de Coralie Fargeat, Anora de Sean Baker ou Spring breakers d'Harmony Korine. Des coups de cœur éclectiques, qui se comptent chaque année sur les doigts d'une main. « Habituellement, confie-t-elle, on peut écrire le texte dans sa tête pendant la projo, on sait exactement ce qu'on pense du film à la sortie et la plupart des œuvres font de moi une critique snob et blasée. Mais une ou deux fois par an, un film me désarme complètement. »En conséquence, cette spectatrice exigeante préférera toujours « voir cinquante fois un chef-d'œuvre plutôt qu'une fois une œuvre plaisante », selon la formule de la cinéaste et écrivaine Catherine Breillat, femme « scandale » à laquelle Joudet consacre en 2023 un recueil d'entretiens, Je ne crois qu'en moi, sacré meilleur ouvrage français sur le cinéma par le Syndicat de la critique.Dans ce troisième et dernier épisode, Murielle Joudet réaffirme ses envies d'enquêtes sur la fabrique des images, en « calmant ses envies de style, sans chercher l'éclat à tout prix ». Tout en rappelant l'existence d'un collectif qui ne manquera pas de fédérer des vocations : « Pigistes en pyjama ».L'autrice du mois : Murielle JoudetNée en 1991 à Paris, Murielle Joudet est critique de cinéma dans la presse (Le Monde), à la radio (sur France Inter pour Le masque et la plume), en ligne (dans le podcast Sortie de secours ou via l'émission Dans le film sur le site Hors-Série) ou pour la Cinémathèque française. Elle a publié quatre ouvrages qui documentent avec rigueur des façons de défier les conventions, en tant que femme, dans l'industrie du 7e art : Isabelle Huppert – vivre ne nous regarde pas (Capricci, 2018), Gena Rowlands – on aurait dû dormir (Capricci, 2021), La seconde femme – ce que les actrices font à la vieillesse (Premier Parallèle, 2022) et un recueil d'entretiens avec la cinéaste Catherine Breillat, Je ne crois qu'en moi (Capricci, 2023).

(This episode first aired in September 2022.) Today's guest is one of Britain's best loved novelists, Lisa Jewell. Her career started with a smash hit debut novel Ralph's Party - which she started writing as a bet at the age of 27 while she was unemployed, and, according to her, “totally lacking in direction and ambition”. It was the book of the moment and for 14 novels it looked like her career - although ticking along nicely - would never hit those heights again.  Then her writing took a turn for the dark and her career took a turn for the stratospheric. Lisa Jewell, it transpired had a knack for a killer twist. That knack propelled her to the top of the bestseller lists on both sides of the atlantic with And Then She Was Gone. That was six books ago and she's never been more successful.  I went to see Lisa in her envy-inducing North London home to talk about her latest book, The Family Remains, the debt she owes Bridget Jones and the sequel she wishes had never seen the light of day. We also chatted about hitting “a golden seam” in her 50s, her unexpectedly scary perimenopause symptoms, testosterone overload, and her extremely proactive ovaries! Plus she shares her controversial secret to successfully parenting teenage girls. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

Send us a textThis is the year that we're saying goodbye (for now?) to some beloved big and small screen friends. Call it parasocial, call it learning through art, but tuning into these characters and their fictional ups and downs made me feel like I belonged to their charmed worlds in New York City and London, and lives full of fabulous fashion, awesome apartments, cool jobs, chosen family, hot romances — and plenty of drama. I truly feel sad saying goodbye, and I think these flawed yet fitting endings still honor these characters and the relationships we had with them.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comWell this is awfully… upbeat. I don't want to say that there's a sad undercurrent to the third season that the trailer doesn't quite capture, but...Now I feel wistful for AJLT S1, so here's where we started, after taking up where they left off. It seems years and years ago.A lengthy take down of all of the "cringe" moments in AJLT. I would say cringe is in the eye of the beholder, but I agree with a lot of these.The scene at work is just… unlikely but hilarious. It's the new Bridget, and she's nearly as daffy and delightful as the old one.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, please click share in your podcast app and tell your friends!

Willie sits down with Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger who opens up about what she likes about playing the relatable title character Bridget Jones in the beloved franchise — a role she stepped into when the first movie was released in 2001.They talk about her new film, “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” her childhood growing up in Katy, Texas, and her road to the heights of Hollywood. (Original broadcast date February 23, 2025)

Description: As a former TV producer turned novelist, Sophie Cousens' books have been published in over 20 languages. Her previous novels—including This Time Next Year and Before I Do—have delighted readers around the world with their warmth, humor, and honest portrayal of love in all its messy, beautiful forms. Today, we sit down with Sophie to discuss her decade of experience producing some of our favorite TV shows like The Graham Norton Show and Big Brother and how that valuable experience behind the scenes in television shaped the way she now tells stories as a novelist, allowing her to thread the needle between heartfelt and funny, heartwarming and satirical. We talk about her approach to writing—does she prefer to start with a character or a plot?--as well as how she brilliantly employs a variety of  familiar rom-com setups (friends-to-lovers, missed connections, etc.) yet, they never feel overt or cliché. If you've ever tried to date post-divorce, juggled motherhood with figuring out who the heck you even are anymore, or questioned whether love in your 40s is even worth it—you're going to enjoy today's conversation about our June JHBC selection, Is She Really Going Out With Him?  With nods to fairy tales, dating apps, and the iconic Joe Jackson song that inspired the title, the book asks: how do you start over when you're not 22 anymore—and how do you know when it's real? Thought-provoking Quotes: “I've been a producer on shows that were much more produced—you've got a script, you've got a plan, you know exactly what you're getting; whereas with [Big Brother] we were just dealing with real people and real people's emotions and the experience of being in this slight madhouse.” – Sophie Cousens “Tropes are enduring because they are beloved. Sometimes, that word has a negative connotation but, in this case, it's not true. These are story tropes that readers love. I love how you talk about them and go, no, I'm not going to steer away from them or try to reinvent them or try to avoid them. I'm going to go full-in.” – Jen Hatmaker “I absolutely love films of that 90s and 2000s era. That's very much the tone in which I write. I think there's something pure and simple about that era of films, which is why so many of them are enduring.” – Sophie Cousens Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Russel Howard's Good News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00phwkz The Graham Norton Show - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006xnzc Big Brother - https://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/ Notting Hill (1999) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/ Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding - https://amzn.to/4dJsJ6y Just Haven't Met You Yet by Sophie Cousens - https://amzn.to/45IC4tt And Then There Was You by Sophie Cousens COMING NOVEMBER 2025 - https://amzn.to/3Fq5SR4 Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion (1997)  - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120032/ Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton) - https://www.instagram.com/claudiajessies/?hl=en Atmosphere: A Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid - https://amzn.to/4mYRzUk Great, Big, Beautiful Life by Emily Henry - https://amzn.to/43IRYTp Julia Whelan, audio narrator - https://jmwhelan.com/narrator/ The Husbands: A Novel by Holly Gramazio - https://amzn.to/4dQnNx5 Holly Bourne, author - https://hollybourne.co.uk/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.sophiecousens.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sophie_cousens/ Twitter - https://x.com/sophiecous Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sophiecousensauthor Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

As music festival season takes hold of the summer, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode look at festival films from Woodstock to Summer of Soul. Can you really capture the spirit of a music festival on screen?Mark speaks to legendary editor Thelma Schoonmaker about her era-defining, Academy Award-nominated work on the documentary film Woodstock. He then talks to maverick British director Julien Temple about filming Glastonbury - his very personal film about the history of the English music festival. Ellen talks to music journalist Shaad D'Souza about the relationship between festivals and screen culture in the 21st century, from Bridget Jones to Beyonce at Coachella. And she also speaks to director Jamie Crawford, whose 2022 documentary series Trainwreck: Woodstock 99 showed - in some detail - what can happen when the festival dream gets torn down and trampled underfoot.

If you've ever thought, “Life without alcohol sounds boring, lonely, or just... blah,” you're not alone. Let's be real—most of us grew up swimming in wine-soaked messaging that told us drinking was the key to fun, connection, and success.  Whether it was Sex and the City, Bridget Jones, or just Tuesday night mom memes about needing wine to survive bedtime routines—alcohol was everywhere and always painted as the prize for being a grown woman. But here's the thing: that story is a lie. And it's one that keeps so many smart, successful women stuck in drinking habits that make them feel worse—not better. In this episode, I asked Kate Bee, founder of The Sober School, to share how we can stop glorifying alcohol and start creating a version of sobriety that feels vibrant, powerful, and worth celebrating. Because changing your relationship with alcohol isn't just about quitting—it's about reclaiming your joy, your freedom, and your energy.

Description: Katie Sturino is one of those people who makes you feel instantly braver just by being in the room. With her bold fashion choices, unfiltered honesty, and joyful presence online, the powerhouse founder of Megababe, style influencer, and unapologetic voice for body confidence has inspired so many of us to rethink how we see our bodies and ourselves. Her first book Body Talk, part memoir, part manifesto, focused on the all too important topic of learning to love the skin you're in. Now, she's back—and this time, she's putting her hand to fiction! Of course, we wanted to talk to this multi-hyphenate about what it's like flexing yet another new muscle. Katie and Jen talk about the inspiration behind Sunny Side Up, a book Jennifer Weiner has called a modern-day Bridget Jones' Diary (without the toxic self-loathing) and Katie shares what the writing process was like, an experience Katie  equated to being put through a pasta machine. She and Jen also reminisce about when they first met almost a year ago—backstage at an Oprah special and the grueling decisions they grabbed with (as so many women do for such an event)—what to wear.  Thought-provoking Quotes: “I lead with solution. That is the thing that's consistent for me because I love business. I love talking to people about the businesses they wanna start, the businesses that they're running. I like solving problems.” – Katie Sturino “We love turning on a woman online. We love it—everything from Meghan Markle dancing in birthing room and Blake Lively. We just love turning on women. It's like sport.” Katie Sturino “I don't have the MBA. I feel like most businesses that are dreamed up are done in a Harvard think tank, and I don't have that. So that's another thing that I feel insecure about, because whenever I'm up on panels or in a room full of similar founders, their stories have a really specific ladder and I'm like in my parents' garage, you know, it's different.” – Katie Sturino “Writing this book was the hardest thing I have ever done. This was awful. I'm gonna say that out loud so that if anyone out there is like, I'm gonna write a book one day—pop that bubble! Pop that bubble! It's not you in a cozy room with a typewriter and a mug. It's like open eyeball surgery while you're awake. It's really hard.” – Katie Sturino Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Making the Shift: A new way to think about weight - https://www.weightwatchers.com/makingtheshift/ Megababe - https://megababebeauty.com/ The Deodorant Jen swears by - https://megababebeauty.com/collections/pits Sunny Side Up: A Novel by Katie Sturino - https://amzn.to/3SLK1qd Tressie McMillan Cottom - https://tressiemc.com/ Using Storytelling to Address Complex Social Issues: Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/using-storytelling-to-address-complex-social-issues-dr-tressie-mcmillan-cottom/ #SupersizeTheLook - https://www.instagram.com/explore/search/keyword/?q=%23supersizethelook Kitty & Vibe: Katie Sturino Swimsuit Collection - https://www.kittyandvibe.com/collections/sunny-side-up Guest's Links: Website - https://megababebeauty.com/pages/about Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katiesturino/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmlgRDiOCywtaamAc5q-7VQ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@katiesturino Substack - https://katiesturino.substack.com/p/katie-sturino-writer Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/boob-sweat-with-katie-sturino/id1483683205 Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Så porträtteras journalistrollen i populärkulturen. Och så om de mediala institutionerna tipstelefonen och den skuggade siluetten. Repris av tre reportage från senaste året. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Journalister på vita dukenEn vanligt förekommande figur på vita duken är journalisten. Men hur gestaltas egentligen reportrar på film? Hur nära sanningen kommer fiktionen? Vi på Medierna kartlägger de olika journalisttyperna på film; hjältar som Spotlight-reportrarna, slarvpellar som Nina i TV4:s serie Doktrinen och klumpedunsar som Bridget Jones.Reporter: Alexandra SannemalmHar du ett nyhetstips? Då hänvisas du oftast till mail eller, om det är riktigt högoktaniga grejer - en krypterad tjänst som signal, secure drop eller varför inte egna tekniska lösningar som Sveriges Radios Radioleaks. Men det finns ju dom som känner att de inte orkar med det här nya, meckiga appsamhället. Att de vill prata med en riktig människa och verbalt få lägga ut texten! Och då finns den där - den klassiska tipstelefonen. Men vilken status har den här gamla trotjänaren i dagens digitala och AI-drivna robotsamhälle egentligen?Reporter: Freddi RamelVem döljer sig bakom de skuggade personerna? En profilbild, men helt suddad på anletsdrag. Bara en svart massa kvar. På kvällstidningsspråk kallas dom för silhuetter. Det visar sig att här döljer sig ett formspråk som tassar väldigt nära gränsen till det bedrägliga.Och hur kommer det sig att siluetterna bara blir mer och mer generiska?Reporter: Erik Petersson

Our exit today has us being recognized for that one hit wonder we wrote in the 80s. This week, we are talking about Bridget Jones's Diary, written by Helen Fielding, Andrew Davies, and Richard Curtis, and directed by Sharon Maguire. Along with debating the dreamiest Mr. Darcy, we talk casting rumors, belated sequels, soundtracks, the year of Jim Broadbent, Austen adaptations, the allure of Hugh Grant, accents, Salman Rushdie, uncomfortable humor, and Mission Impossible.Theme music by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CFF Films⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Ross and friends.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies We've Covered on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies Recommended on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver had a long weekend feel like it stretched into a week? That post-Memorial Day time warp sets the stage for this reflective episode where personal downtime collides with truly bizarre news stories.After sharing details about a much-needed Bridget Jones marathon (all four movies, thank you very much) that brought unexpected emotional release, we dive into some truly shocking headlines that might have slipped under your radar. Olympic gymnastics legend Mary Lou Retton's recent DUI arrest takes on added complexity when viewed against her life-threatening battle with pneumonia just months ago - a health crisis that revealed her financial struggles and required crowdfunding from supporters.But that's just the warm-up to the truly disturbing story of a 21-year-old former flight attendant caught smuggling 100 pounds of a deadly new drug called "Kush." This substance, which has a street value of $3.3 million and is killing approximately a dozen people weekly in Sierra Leone, contains a horrifying ingredient: human bones. The demand has become so great that grave robbers are now raiding cemeteries for materials. The young smuggler claims the drugs were planted in her luggage without her knowledge, but faces decades in prison if convicted.These stories raise fascinating questions about celebrity falls from grace, the increasingly bizarre drug trade, and the strange juxtapositions we all navigate between our mundane personal lives and the often incomprehensible world events unfolding around us. Have your own strange travel story? We'd love to hear it - because sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Hugh Grant talks to Willie Geist about his new film, “Heretic” and about reprising the role of Daniel Cleaver in the upcoming fourth “Bridget Jones” film. They also discuss Grant's relationship with fame and how he's creating better boundaries and protections in the industry. (Original broadcast date November 17, 2024)

This episode of How To Fail was recorded in front of a live audience at London's Barbican Theatre. Sally Phillips has appeared in a string of the most influential and hilarious comedy series of all time - from Smack The Pony, Miranda, The Thick of It and Veep. Not forgetting, of course, her star turn as Bridget Jones's best friend, Shazza, in the hugely popular movie franchise.  Alongside her professional success, Phillips has also been an important voice in the neurodivergent community. Her eldest son, Olly, has Down syndrome and Sally is a tireless campaigner for disability rights. So why, then, does she never feel she's made it as a ‘serious' actress? And why is she so obsessed with Clown School? And - pressing question - why have she and Colin Firth never been a thing? Over on Failing with Friends, Sally answers questions from the live audience at the Barbican: they discuss red and green flags in partners, and what Hugh Grant is REALLY like and whether Sally and Renée Zellweger really are friends or whether she might just be making it up?

In a less psychotic episode, Kaya talks about Michelle Buteau's perfect second season of Survival of the Thickest and the different character arcs on the show. She also wants to know why did white woken abandon Bridget Jones? Because there's a third movies and no one's seems to give a fuck about it which is kinda crazy because it used to be like a white woman's version of Waiting To Exchale or at least that's what the vibes led me to believe. I love you all have a great week.  ► Merch |   ► Instagram |   ► Follow Kaya |   ► Follow Aaron |   ► Twitter |  A Hurrdat Media Production.
