Based on the encouragement of a GQ article from 2016, Kerry and Collin took a look back at “Bridget Jones's Diary” to see if the writer of said article had been onto something. That led them to go back and rewatch all of the “Bridget Jones” movies including the latest, which just came out on blu-ray. What/who is the Bridget Jones of today? How would we rank the boyfriends/fiancees in the entire series? Did “Bridget Jones's Diary” kickstart the “ugly sweater” craze that started in the early 2000s? All this, plus a jam-packed Blu-ray Gift Exchange.    Blu-rays covered: Focus/Universal: “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” “Black Bag” (2025) Ignite: “Re-Animator” 40th Anniversary 4K (1985) Criterion: “The Three Musketeers” / “The Four Musketeers” 4K (1973-74) “The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg”  4K (1964) “Room 666” / “Room 999” (1982 - 2023) Warner Archive: “Clean and Sober” (1988) “Lean On Me” (1989) “Rhapsody In Blue” (1934) “Three The Hard Way” (1974) “Lili” (1953) Warner Bros / HBO: “Mr. Show: The Complete Series”  

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!

If you've noticed all the celebrations, new editions of Austen's work, new adaptations and not a few arguments over issues which seem to amount to 'who's the biggest fan?' then you may have an inkling that it is a major Jane Austen landmark this year.  Celebrating the 250th year since Jane Austen's birth, the dragons have decided to do their own thing and judge a pageant of Jane Austen adaptations in film, TV, theatre and book form, in an effort to find their own favourite adaptation of Austen's work. Under the magnifying glass this week - 1995 Pride & Prejudice, Ang Lee's Sense & Sensibility, Bridget Jones' Diary and many more.    Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

Aujourdʹhui jʹarrête de fumer, jʹarrête de boire, je fais du sport, je fais un régime, jʹarrête mon régime et surtout jʹarrête de faire des listes et je relis le Journal de Bridget Jones. Bridget Jonesʹs Diary, le Journal de Bridget Jones, est une comédie britannique réalisée par Sharon Maguire, sortie en 2001. Cʹest lʹadaptation cinématographique réussie du bestseller, le roman du même nom dʹHelen Fielding, publié lui en 1996. A lʹécran, Hugh Grant, utilisé à contre-emploi dans le rôle dʹun salaud séducteur et infidèle, Colin Firth en anglais morose et discret et surtout Renée Zellweger en Bridget Jones. Oui, une Américaine, une Texane qui plus est, qui incarne lʹAnglaise la plus pulpeuse du moment, voilà de quoi créer un mini scandale Outre-Manche. Mais la comédienne américaine se donne à fond, prend du poids, apprend à se comporter comme une anglaise, et ça marche. Crédible, elle rallie tous les suffrages et fait de cette comédie romantique un classique. Classique, le mot nʹest pas trop fort, car en 2001, chacune et chacun peut se retrouver dans ce personnage un peu pataud, qui rêve de grand amour comme une midinette tout en assumant un côté femme forte. Surtout, elle navigue courageusement dans sa trentaine entre désillusions amoureuses, régimes, boulot, parents envahissants et amitiés débordantes. Saura-t-elle maitriser le chaos de sa vie affective, et celui quʹelle provoque systématiquement, cʹest là tout lʹenjeu du livre et du film. Véritable phénomène de société, le Journal de Bridget Jones est un coup de maitre, le passage réussi dʹun livre à lʹécran. Entre 2001 et 2002, le films est sélectionné 40 fois dans divers festivals et remportera 8 récompenses trouvant ainsi sa place dans lʹhistoire du cinéma. Ne reste plus quʹà nous plonger dans le quotidien hilarant et déprimant de Bridget en comptant les mégots, les calories, les verres dʹalcool et les amants.

Where we selectively recap on the wine headlines in recent months (informative - but also fun) and respond to various questions, comments...and grumbles.We gaze into deep space in search of booze. We consider how global wine can be in the doldrums...but Essex is on the up. We hear a sad tale of vandals destroying scientific research, and a heartening story of how ancient Pompeii wine is set to be revived. Above all, we revel in the wise words of the recently deceased Pope Francis, who declared wine to be a 'gift from God', a 'healthy consumer habit' and, 'a true joy for the heart of man'. Apparently he told winemaker Ricardo Cotarella: 'You can't party without wine.' Our kind of Pope.We play our globally popular Guess the Missing Word in the Wine Headline game, this time featuring Bridget Jones, Bhutan, a wrestling superstar and various forms of wildlife. Just a trigger warning for anyone traumatised by the mention of Peter's pants from our previous episode on fake wine - Peter's pants feature again. Thanks for tuning in.

Tonight on Triple Feature, Mark Radulich, Dorian Price, and Mac Kettner dive into the world of modern romance with three recent streaming releases that explore love, self-discovery, and second chances: Bridget Jones's Diary: Mad About the Boy, The Life List, and La Dolce Villa. This episode unpacks how these films balance humor, heart, and emotional honesty within the romantic comedy and drama genres.The discussion begins with Bridget Jones's Diary: Mad About the Boy, the latest chapter in the life of everyone's favorite lovably awkward singleton, as Bridget navigates motherhood and the dating world in her 50s. Then the crew tackles The Life List, a heartfelt rom-com about a woman checking off her late best friend's bucket list, only to find her own path to happiness in the process. Finally, they explore La Dolce Villa, a breezy escapist rom-com set in the Italian countryside, where a workaholic real estate agent learns to slow down and embrace life—and love—while on assignment abroad.Together, Mark, Dorian, and Mac examine common rom-com tropes, the portrayal of aging and romance, and whether these films bring anything fresh to the genre. From heartwarming moments to predictable pitfalls, this episode covers it all with a mix of critical insight and playful banter.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

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?

Rebecca Huntley, Rick Morton, Julia Zemiro and Sarah Kanowski bring you stories of human failure, misadventure and outright fiasco in a live storytelling event recorded at Adelaide Writers Week.A few weeks ago, some former guests of Conversations, and our two presenters gathered at the Adelaide Town Hall.The event was a live storytelling hour, with the theme 'Mistakes were made', in front of a rapt audience of 800 forgiving souls.Writer and social researcher Rebecca Huntley shared her dramatic foray as a first-time driver.Journalist Rick Morton recounted a story about a run-in between his brother's drug- and alcohol-fuelled friends, with a cameo from the rom-com 'Bridget Jones' Baby'.TV presenter and actor Julia Zemiro told her own tale of mortification in a professional setting, and her experience of "esprit de l'escalier" — thinking of the perfect response once you have already left the building.Our own Sarah Kanowski spoke of the time when a few very big risks were taken, that one time in the Amazon Basin.This episode of Conversations touches on mistakes, fiascos, accidents, insults, life stories, epic personal stories, ayahuasca, The Amazon, ice, drug addiction, Bridget Jones, and more.

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.

So there's a ton to cover here and all 3 of the team are here... sort of... The episode kicks off with Andrew and Kevin taking advantage of Lauren being a little behind and talk about the latest episode of Severance, which Lauren has not seen. This is possibly one of the best episodes of the show to date and takes us deep into the character Gemma/Ms. Casey. You should definitely be watching this show... Next up, Lauren joins in and Kevin discusses the new Anthony Mackie film, Elevation. It's not a great film, but not terrible either. It doesn't do much to cement Anthony as a leading man, though, feeling like it undid a lot of the likability that he gained in Captain America. Andrew dismisses himself and Lauren takes the reins to discuss the broadway revival of Gypsy. It feels like a different take on the show and is all in all very solid and worth checking out if you can get to the theater! Without Andrew to shame him for his choices, Kevin dives into School Spirits. It's a very YA show on Paramount+ but it's actually surprisingly compelling and Kevin has nothing really bad to say about it. If YA mystery stuff is your fare (think a mix of Ghosts and Pretty Little Liars), then check this one out! Classing up the joint, Lauren takes to the cinema by watching Best Picture candidate, I'm Still Here. It's a compelling foreign film about a family dealing with the military dictatorship in Brazil in the '70s. Foreign language might not be for everyone, but this one is worth catching, Quickly, Kevin and Lauren discuss White Lotus season 3 so far and, it's fair to say, they aren't feeling the warm fuzzies yet. There is a lot of show still to watch, but it needs to get moving ASAP!! Lauren finishes out the show by discussing the latest installment of one of her favorite franchises, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. While not the best film in the series, it's a very Bridget Jones and a sweet send off for the character. As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe.

FIRST 40:20: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 40:20: Full Spoiler Review We do musical theatre together.  This week we dive into the world of rom-coms this week, and take a closer look at Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, the latest chapter in the iconic, heartwarming saga of everyone's favorite single woman, now 50-something and navigating life, love, and motherhood. Starring Renée Zellweger this film promises to explore the joys and challenges of middle-aged romance with all the humor and vulnerability we've come to expect from the Bridget Jones series. Join Ian and Liam as we step into Bridget's world again to see if the film delivers the nostalgic charm we've missed or if it falters in its attempt to explore the realities of aging, dating, and starting over. Can this film still capture the essence of what made the series so beloved, or does it try too hard to stay relevant in a modern world? We'll examine the storytelling—Does the film successfully blend the humor and emotional depth of Bridget's character with the complexity of her new life? Is it a satisfying conclusion to her journey or just another chapter that tries to recapture the past?  Does Bridget's storyline still resonate with audiences after all this time, and how has her character evolved? We'll also break down the film's tone and style—Does the film manage to balance its emotional beats with the signature quirkiness of the franchise, or does it lean too heavily into sentimentality? Does it still feel fresh, or does it rely too much on nostalgia?  Do you have to have seen the other films in the series?  Do you have to have grown up with the films in real time? Finally, we'll debate whether Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy strikes the right balance between the lighthearted and the heartfelt. Does it deliver a satisfying and meaningful update to Bridget's story, or does it feel like an unnecessary revisit that doesn't add much to the series? We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the film and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!  

Excited to see what Bridget's been up to the last 20 years! And which of our characters may or may not be dead. How will we rank them? You know you're dying to find out.  Baby: 00:00 Mad About the Boy: 53:50 Patreon YouTube

The Palestinian militant group accused Israel of "delaying the return of displaced persons to northern Gaza", "targeting them with shelling and gunfire in various areas of the Strip", and of breaching the agreement on aid supplies. In response, Israel accused Hamas of a "complete violation of the ceasefire agreement and the deal to release the hostages."Also on the programme: A global AI summit has kicked off in Paris- we'll hear from one of French President Emmanuel Macron's tech advisers; and we'll speak to Oscar-nominated actor Renée Zellweger on her reprise of the character of Bridget Jones for the film Mad About The Boy.(Photo: Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, attends a protest in Tel Aviv in support of the hostages kidnapped during the October 7th attacks in Israel on February 10, 2025.
