It is a truth Hughniversally acknowledged that when one person on the pod is doing okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces. This week we're watching 2001's Vonnegutesque classic: Bridget Jones's Diary. You might not have thought you'd get references to Michael Scott or Lil Nas X in this episode about a movie that rips off Jane Austen, but here we are. Zoe thinks it's top notch social commentary to be returned to again and again. Robin thinks it sucks. And now, back to the stHughdio!

This week we step inside the world of Bridget and her diary in Bridget Jones’s Diary (Sharon Maguire, 2001). Bridget, portrayed by Renée Zellweger, is an average woman struggling with her perceived imperfections like her age, weight, job and her lack of a man. As a New Year’s resolution she decides to take control of her life by starting a diary in which she will always tell the complete truth. When her charming though disreputable boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) takes an interest in her, Bridget finds it hard to stay away, despite her better judgement. Perhaps, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) is a better fit for her? For now, it’s Sunday morning and Bridget has woken up with a headache, a hangover and her boss...

Patrick retells the Bridget Jones's Diary, which is absolutely a Christmas movie. Ryan has his doubts

To mark Bookclub's 21st birthday Helen Fielding talks about her creation Bridget Jones, with the first novel in the series, Bridget Jones's Diary. Bridget has now become an iconic figure in modern fiction. Bridget Jones started life as a weekly column in the pages of The Independent in 1995, when Fielding worked on the news desk. Refusing to use her own byline, Helen’s column chronicled the life and antics of fictional Bridget Jones as a thirty-something single woman in London trying to make sense of life and love - and was published as a novel in 1996. Helen says in Bookclub that she honestly expected the column would be axed after six weeks for being too silly. She also describes how much she leaned on the plot of Pride and Prejudice, as in 1995 it seemed the whole country was watching the BBC adaptation with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. Bridget eventually finds love with aloof lawyer Mark Darcy, who of course was played by Firth in the film of the novel. With fans from women in their twenties now to others in their fifties who lived the life of Bridget at the time, Helen answers questions about the identity of unmarried women in their thirties in the 1990s, with Bridget feeling as alone as Miss Havisham and how perceptions have changed since; as well as how Bridget would fare in this #MeToo, Instagram image obsessed and internet dating world. Recorded as part of the BBC's BBC Arts year-long celebration of literature, The Books That Shaped Us; and presented by James Naughtie and with a group of readers asking the questions. December's Bookclub choice : Leaving the Atocha Station by Ben Lerner (2012) Presented by James Naughtie Produced by Dymphna Flynn

Rom-coms dominated the American box office in the 1990s and early 2000's, and now seem to be making a comeback with hits like Crazy Rich Asians and Netflix's The Kissing Booth.  But the genre's roots go back before World War II, and MG charts this arc by comparing two classics: Renée Zellweger's charming, goofy...and slightly regressive Bridget Jones's Diary from 2001, and Katherine Hepburn's snappy, whip-smart...and shockingly progressive adaptation of the play The Philadelphia Story from 1940.  Both tackle the trope of a woman making a choice between two possible guys, but in our opinion, only one of these pictures comes up with the right answer!

In our Bridget Jones’s Diary episode, we discuss the problems of chick lit, 90s style “feminism,” whether or not Mark Darcy is simple an insufferable ass or if he grows and changes… and Kaylia admits to not liking Jane Austen despite her English degree. Also, some Star Trek references and even a Star Wars connection because some of you like that sort of thing. Enjoy!

This week on the show, Karen Peterson — co-host of the Citizen Dame Podcast and The Watch and Talk — joins us to discuss director Sharon Maguire's Bridget Jones's Diary. The 2001 romantic comedy, based on Helen Fielding's best-selling book, not only made Renee Zellweger a bonafide leading lady but earned the actress her first Academy Award nomination.  We'll discuss what makes the titular character (and Zellweger's performance) so memorable, how Maguire's film cleverly reinterprets Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice for the modern era and why Colin Firth's Mark Darcy is such a tricky role to pull off onscreen. Plus, is Hugh Grant's turn as the rascally Daniel Cleaver the prototype for his BAFTA-nominated performance in Paddington 2? Join us as we crack open Bridget Jones's Diary. Bridget Jones's Diary synopsis, courtesy of Miramax: Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a busy journalist and singleton lost amid a sea of smug-marrieds in London. After vowing to abandon her many vices, Bridget turns over a new page by channeling her opinions and insecurities in a journal that becomes a hilarious chronicle of her misadventures. Soon, Bridget finds herself stuck in the sights of not one, but two men: her dashing boss Daniel (Hugh Grant), who thrives on bad behavior; and the brooding Mark (Colin Firth), who she despises but somehow can't get away from.

WARNING: SPOILERS One is a charming British romp, the other has a weird orgy. This week on the Cinema Vertigogo Podcast, we're kicking off the holiday season with two of Samantha's favorite Christmas movies, Bridget Jones's Diary and Eyes Wide Shut. https://www.facebook.com/cinemavertigogo/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/cinemavertigogosocialclub/ https://twitter.com/cinemavertigogo https://www.instagram.com/cinemavertigogo/ https://open.spotify.com/show/0sKQN6gZac3s74kL4hx1bj https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cinema-vertigogo/id1262932321   

We play Wikiroulette once again, and end up with a movie that combines giant mechanical fast food restaurants in the post apocalypse, Papa Roach, and the final entry Bridget Jones's Diary saga!

In today's episode, the girls discuss Bridget Jones's Diary written by Helen Fielding.

Auctions. Bidding wars. Squealing agents and champagne toasts. To some, this is the stuff writerly dreams are made of. Novelist Rosie Walsh is here from her home in Britain to humbly share details of her magic carpet ride as the author of one of the most anticipated global publications this year. GHOSTED, Rosie’s debut book in America, celebrated its birthday the day we taped this episode. Pub day in the states! For a book that has sold in thirty-one countries and topped several bestseller lists already, I feel like the luckiest girl at the dance here to have had so much time—over an hour!—with this very busy new mother and author. I had to ask Rosie the age-old question: what makes a page-turner? How do you write a story people, and that includes publishers, can’t put down? Because, cover to cover, I was swept away by this book. As an example, check out this marketing hook right on the back: "Seven perfect days. Then he disappeared. A love story with a secret at its heart.” Aren’t you dying to know the secret? I was, and I’ll tell you this: I never saw it coming. Nor did my dear friend and one of my favorite writers, Aditi Khorana, our guest co-host for this episode. Aditi and Rosie are both critically acclaimed Penguin novelists, and I think you’ll love hearing them compare notes on how to outline their books and craft their exciting plot lines. Their publishing wins will inspire you and their stories on editing and ditching hard-won prose are a dose of realism. In fact, Rosie’s honesty—about what she was willing to do, make that what she had to do to get her words worthy of the heights they’re currently hitting—is astonishing. (Hint, you don’t get published by legendary editor Pamela Dorman through her own Viking/Penguin imprint—with past titles like Bridget Jones's Diary, The Secret Life of Bees, Queen Sugar, Me Before You, etc. in her line up—unless your storytelling is world-class.) And, yes, in this chat you’ll also here three girls talking about boys. And love. And longing. And the odd yet universal phenomenon of being ghosted. I'm so glad you're here. Linda xo P.S.

This week Sammi and Beau get a reprieve in the form of the crackling onscreen chemistry between Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth in 2001's 'Bridget Jones's Diary,' a loose homage to Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice.' This week the only yelling is over how superhuman Colin Firth's eye acting is and Hugh Grant's questionable attributes, with the occasional eye roll directed at the soundtrack.    Bridget Jones's Diary was directed by Sharon Maguire and stars Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent and Gemma Jones. 

Bridget Jones’s Baby Bridget's focus on single life and her career is interrupted when she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch ... she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby's father. Quote- "This is the movie equivalent of meeting an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time for brunch." Snowden The NSA's illegal surveillance techniques are leaked to the public by one of the agency's employees, Edward Snowden, in the form of thousands of classified documents distributed to the press. Quote- "You used to be able to count on Oliver Stone for a good shot or two of cinematic adrenaline. So, who would have thought he’d choose to present one of the most controversial figures of the 21st Century as warm, fuzzy, and more than a bit boring?"  

We liked Bridget Jones’s Diary very much, just as she is. Intro music credit: “Monkeys Spinning Monkeys” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

We at Diminishing Returns decided to take control of our lives and start a podcast (an aural diary, if you will). In this, the 15th episode, we take on fellow diarist, Bridget Jones and, as always, pitch ideas for the future.

The Jingle Friends take a look at the inventive romantic comedy Bridget Jones's Diary, which spans a year from Christmas to Christmas. We talk unfair weight standards, charming Hugh Grant ad libs, illegal sex, handsome women and the name "Perpetua". Thanks for listening, we love you!

Are you Team Darcy or Team Daniel? Andrea and Lisa hash it out this week as we tackle the first and best film in the Bridget Jones series, Bridget Jones's Diary.

Amelia & Rose discuss Bridget Jones Diary with special guest star Tracy (Rose's Mum). Amelia and Tracy talk about important things like Gabrielle's eye patch and anal sex, while Rose slowly dies in a corner. 98% of facts we declare in the podcast are probably not true. Probably.

Mel Evans is joined by Jessica Kent and Rachel Grandi to discuss more modern "adaptations" of Jane Austen's works.  This episode, they plod their way through Helen Fielding's body dysmorphic novel "Bridget Jones's Diary." Is this a true Jane Austen adaptation or is it a martini-fueled fan letter to the BBC "Pride and Prejudice" mini-series?  We're not judging, we just want Bridget to love herself. An Hour with Your Ex is a Denver-based podcast hosted by Mark Colomb and Mel Evans. "Bridget Jones's Diary" is a 1996 novel by Helen Fielding made into a terrible 2001 film starring an actress Mel cares not to name.  This last bit is for SEO.

Every other week, Valerie and Helen will look at a different chick flick (muff film, broad comedy, lady thriller, period movie, whathaveyou) and boil it down to its themes and how those themes affect our tender feminine emotions.Mostly we'll just go off on tangents about Sex and the City.We'll talk about chick flick tropes, like love triangles/squares/pentagons and sisterhood. We'll explore just how strong girl power actually is and if real vampires sparkle in the sunlight, or if that's just movie magic. And we'll reveal our (Helen's) repressed sexual feelings for Hugh Grant.We'll get a dude's opinion, and we'll even listen to it.  

A HUGE thank you to Adam from EHAP - Everyone Has a Podcast for designing our new cover art! Little Man has never looked classier! We forgot to mention this in the episode, but we'll make up for it in the next one! New year, new you? Or new year, new you ... until mid-February? We take a look at the history of setting New Year's Resolutions, most popular goals, why they don't work and how to make them stick. We also celebrate the new year with a new and improved theme song! This episode's wine: Blanc de Bleu sparkling Chardonnay with blueberry This episode's cheese: Aged sharp white cheddar We turn 21 in this episode! Our podcast is finally old enough to drink, we guess! Aside from getting so excited over blue bubbly, we're stoked to be back! And we dive right in with our episode celebrating the promises we make (and break) to ourselves every year! Congratulations to our listener Hilary who won our "Tasting Wine & Cheese" giveaway! Emily lists the top New Year's Resolutions and breaks them down by gender, geography, and generation. She also takes this time to vent her frustrations at stereotypical young millennials, and lists the most broken resolutions and why they don't work. By the way, our drinking game for this episode is the phrase "YOLO" because we say it quite frequently, but always with a deep hatred for it. If you'd like some better words, check out our episode, Cheers to Words and Phrases! Why do we make resolutions? Clearly to torture ourselves! James gives us the actual history behind the tradition and gets into the science behind why resolutions are broken so often. We also come up with James' new pick-up line: giving a woman his numbers, as well as a pie. Look for him on Tinder -- he'll be the one with a picture of a pie. Why did Emily read the Wikipedia article about Star Wars: The Force Awakens before going to see the movie? She'll justify it -- go ahead and send us your gripes! She also gives a quick tip for saving some money over the year. And we get into another discussion about vaping (Check out our Cheers to Vaping episode!) James gives us some tips and tricks for accomplishing your goals. Emily's advice is if you don't try, you won't fail! And, you people on Facebook, you know who you are, posting about your gym experience right now -- talk to us in March! See the marshmallow test he talks about in our show notes! And, James tells us why "Bridget Jones's Diary" is a better movie than he expected. And now the world knows! Emily talks about the trend of picking a word or a few words to focus on for the year instead of making a resolution. You can find out more information about this idea by listening to episode 31 of The Productive Woman podcast. James debunks the myth that it takes 21 days for something to become a habit. We talk about our resolutions, and we'd love to hear yours! And we give shout-outs to You Must Remember This and the Epic Film Guys, two great podcasts to check out. And speaking of podcasts, Emily talks about the Twitter hashtag #PodernFamily. Check it out, and find even more great shows to listen to!

Screenwriter Richard Curtis is a legend in romantic comedy writing -- Bridget Jones's Diary, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually to name a few. So, how did one amazing rom-com writer get to adapt a period drama about a boy separated from his horse during World War I? He got a call from Steven Spielberg, that's how. "I wanted to see if I could do it before I agreed to it," Curtis says of being asked to co-write War Horse, Spielberg's Christmas-opener, starring Jeremy Irvine and Emily Watson. The script is co-written by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot and Gabriel & Me), and adapted from the children's novel, of the same name, by Michael Morpurgo. The War Horse experience is one Curtis will always remember. Script sat down with the famed screenwriter to get some insight into his process. Podcast highlights: How to overcome writer's block ...
