Get ready to get taken for a ride cause this episode Phil, Kenny, along with guests Ashley Lyle(Narcos) and Melissa Lora talk DRIVE ME CRAZY, Melissa Joan Hart/Adrian Grenier high school comedy. The boys and guests take a trip down memory lane and have a lively conversation about what DMC gets right about the High School experience, digging themselves in a deeper hole with the 10 Things I Hate About You fans, talk about the boys and how cute they may or may not be and GASP! at Phil’s lack of familiarity with Clarissa Explains It All.
Kenny and Phil are not your average podcasters. Most podcasters look at humanity and see a small sliver who can podcast at even a remedial level. But not Kenny and Phil. They believe that podcasting comes from within... that it comes from the heart. So, it was with that spirit, that they invited Melissa Lora and Corinne Stikeman - two podcast guests with a scant four guest episodes of experience between them - on to the podcast. But Phil and Kenny did not take it easy on Melissa and Corinne. They could have started slow, with a rip-roaring crowd-pleaser like "The Mummy" or a meaty hunk of podcast fodder-beef like "Wild Wild West," but, instead, Melissa and Corinne were forced to come up with 90-120 minutes of aural delight about the Violins-in-East-Harlem, Meryl Streep-vehicle, "Music of the Heart." We can hear you shudder. How can two novices, two amateurs, two rookies spin such a plain, boring, rote film into podcast gold? Well. Take a listen. You won't believe your ears. As long, that is, as you listen with your heart.
In Part 2 of the Julia Roberts-Valentine’s day two-fer, Phil and Kenny are once again joined by Corinne Stikeman and Melissa Lora, though one or both of them might Runaway before the podcast is over, because that’s what women do, amiright Garry Marshall? Also in this episode, the four give their picks for the top five romantic comedies of all time!
In the first of a special two-part Julia Roberts-themed Valentine’s Day episode, Phil and Kenny are joined by rom-com aficionados Corinne Stikeman and Melissa Lora. In Part 1, the foursome will take a stroll down Notting Hill. Perhaps they will wander into a Travel Book store. Or catch a matinee of Helix. Or maybe they’ll even taste the cuisine at Tony’s restaurant (though even if they do, it’ll probably be mostly cut out and what remains will just be confusing). But please listen because, after all, we’re just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking you to love our podcast.
