Other notable credits include Steel Magnolias, My Dog Skip, Marley And Me, As Good As It Gets, Lassie, Hotel For Dogs, Beginners, Hugo and Max I and II.

In this episode of Parallel Fiction, Heather and Jeff celebrate the companions we keep, and the stories that highlight their importance. Heather and Jeff are presenting two stories about Pets, the theme of the show, and giving their honest and emotional opinions on what it means to own, raise, and bond with a pet. Heather begins the summary portion with an outline of Marley and Me, an autobiography from John Grogan. She beings by explaining that this is not a fictional piece of work, but lets it slide as this could be anybody's story and fits the theme well. The memoir follows the Grogan family as they experience the growing pains of owning a hyper active dog. Heather gets very emotional talking about the last days of Marley's life, and reflects on how that's often times the worst part of owning a pet. Did you know? In the film adaptation, 22 dogs played the role of Marley, at different stage throughout his life. Jeff brings us back for part 2 of the summary portion of the show, outlining the 2010 computer animated classic How To Train Your Dragon. In the story, Jeff presents the bond between main character Hiccup, and his unlikely pet and ally Toothless. Through sweet moments between the two, the kid and dragon end up understanding each other and forming a bond that saves Hiccup's Viking village. Jeff explains the similarities between the dragon and a cat, and appreciates how the film doesn't talk down to children, its intended audience. Instead, the film was just as enjoyable to Jeff as an adult and for all ages. Fun Fact! Music director John Powell was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on this film, but lost to Trent Reznor. Not a bad loss though, as Reznor is a decorated producer with credits in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys. Following these reviews, Heather and Jeff dive into commonalities between the two works such as choosing a pet, responsibility, naming your pet, giving time & attention, and cherished memories. Listen in to hear Jeff and Heather's candid thoughts on the masterpiece scenes of each story, how Marley And Me and How To Train Your Dragon compare, and how Jeff and Heather relate the two. Share this episode with all the pet lovers in your life! Heather's rating for Marley And Me: Nice – If you're a pet owner, you will really enjoy this story. The memoir moves a bit slow, the movie may be a better choice. Jeff's rating for How To Train Your Dragon: Super Nice – Even though we don't put any stock in the Rotten Tomatoe's score, this movie sits at 99% fresh as of February 2021 and has earned every bit of that.

Hello Beautiful People! Welcome to Fry and Cry. The podcast where we watch our favorite sad movies while eating some really bad food. In this, the DEBUT episode, our heroes Evan & Erica watch Marley & Me and OH Baybeeeee do the tears start rolling. Nothing is sadder than a sad dog movie! The emotions (and the calories) get unLEASHed as they sob their way through a talk of life, love, and douchey Florida bros. Grab some tissues, hug a dog (doesn't have to be yours!), and use humor to hide your emotional venerability!
Super special handsome guest Andy Price joins the gang as Owen Wilson wows his way to a paycheck in a real bad film about a real bad dog. We forgot to try and fix it this time, probably because it would be an impossible task.Click to view: show page on Awesound

We spend most of our intro this week taking a nostalgic look back at computers and music, while also touching on the success of Deadpool and other things. At 27:50 we take a rare look into the dark world of politics (God help us all). At 45:25 we make a brief trek into the sports world to take a look at how new BFFs David Ortiz and David Price are getting along as new teammates. And at 50:08 we move into our final segment, a look at movies during which it's ok for men to not only tear up, but outright cry.

Unsure of his preparedness for raising children, John confesses his fears to his friend and fellow journalist Sebastian, who comes up with the perfect solution: John should get Jenny a puppy. “There’s nothing to it,” says Sebastian. “You walk ‘em.
