Amy Lea is back with her latest novel promising a high-stakes rom-com with sharp humor, crackling tension and heart-melting moments. 

This week on The Nikki & Brie Show, everyone's asking the same question: Is Nikki starring in a holiday movie?! Not quite—but her new Google AI Shopping Ad has people convinced she's headlining a Hallmark film. Nikki spills the behind-the-scenes on playing “Holly,” starring opposite Taylor Kinney (yes, from Chicago Fire) and getting mothered by Donna Kelce! From cut kissing scenes to turtlenecks, Nikki shares what really happened on set and why Hallmark might need to give her and Brie a call ASAP.Then it's time to get unhinged in the “Hear Me Out” game: a hilarious round of unexpected crush confessions. Animated characters? Nikki's team Shrek. Fictional villains? Brie's trying to fix The Joker. And don't even get them started on hot UPS drivers and flight attendants. They're revealing who gives “dad vibes,” which professions are sneakily sexy, and the weird scenarios that shouldn't be hot but are (spoiler: getting coffee orders wrong is a BIG no).Nikki & Brie just might be ready for their rom-com era. Press play for some serious holiday laughs! Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!

THE CLASSIC UPDATE OF SHAKESPEARE'S TAMING OF THE SHREW!! 10 Things I Hate About You Full Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Gift Someone (Or Yourself) A Stranger Things RR Tee! ⁠https://shorturl.at/hekk2⁠ Vecna: The Mind Slayer tee by @G9DESIGN & Dr. Stranger Things tee by @SASAMIIKU — perfect for hardcore fans & collectors alike Greg & Aaron trip the light ROMANTIC as they reunite for a 10 Things I Hate About You Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Aaron Alexander & Gregory Alba dive into the sharp, romantic, endlessly quotable teen classic that helped define a generation of 90s/early-2000s cinema. Join Aaron & Greg as they revisit Gil Junger's modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, starring Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight, A Knight's Tale) in his breakout role as the rebellious and charming Patrick Verona, and Julia Stiles (Save the Last Dance, Dexter) as fiercely independent Kat Stratford. The film also features Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, Looper) as Cameron, Larisa Oleynik (The Secret World of Alex Mack) as Bianca, and David Krumholtz (The Santa Clause, Numb3rs) and Allison Janney (I, Tonya, The West Wing) in unforgettable supporting roles. Aaron & Greg break down the film's most iconic and beloved moments: Patrick's legendary “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” serenade on the bleachers, Kat's emotional reading of the poem that gives the movie its name, Bianca punching Joey Donner in the face, Cameron's sweet-but-awkward attempts to win Bianca's heart, and the Stratford family's hilariously strict house rules. They explore how the film blends whip-smart humor, heartfelt coming-of-age storytelling, and timeless themes of trust, identity, and self-expression — all wrapped in peak 90s energy and one of the greatest high-school soundtracks of all time.

Here is a rebroadcast of our original episode on Last Holiday, starring Queen Latifah and LL Cool J. Enjoy this feel-good story about living boldly and savoring every moment! Topics discussed:

In this episode of “Half Hour”, we take a deeper dive into the Broadway musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), now playing at the Longacre Theatre. We unpack the show's rom-com structure, how the title frames the central journey across New York, and where the book and concept land for us. We also examine the contemporary score by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, the production's direction by Tim Jackson, and the scenic and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, alongside lighting by Jack Knowles and sound design by Tony Gayle. Performances from Sam Tutty as Dougal and Christiani Pitts as Robin are front and center as they consider chemistry, character arcs, and how this production might factor into this year's Tony Awards race, including the possibility of future stunt casting.

Tubi is the latest streaming service to find its niche in original programming. After the success of "Sidelined: The QB and Me" in 2024, director Justin Wu was back at it with "Sidelined 2: Intercepted." Is a "Sidelined 3" in the works? Could there be an extended universe for this romantic comedy series aimed at older teens and young adults that stars TikTok influencer Noah Beck? (And for the Gen X crowd, the movie also stars James Van Der Beek of "Dawson's Creek" and "Varsity Blues" fame.) Bruce Miller has interviews with Wu and stars Roan Curtis, Charlie Gillespie and Drew Ray Tanner.  Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz also talk "Wicked," Broadway shows in New York, "The Beast in Me" and more! About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY

Es gab diesmal wirklich einiges zu bereden: Nelly landete einen hollywoodreifen „Zusammenstoss", Strohfeuer oder der Beginn einer Netflix-mässigen Weihnachts Rom-Com?

Welcome back to The Pre Nup, where we get real about all things weddings, love, and everything in between. This week, Adriana is joined once again by her sister (and fan-favorite guest) Big Vic for a hilarious movie recap and review of Marry Me — J.Lo and Owen Wilson's chaotic rom-com that might just be the most unhinged... or worst “wedding movie” ever made. What starts as a simple movie recap quickly spirals into a deep dive on J.Lo's long-standing obsession with being a bride, her real-life romance timeline (from A-Rod to Bennifer 2.0), and why Marry Me might actually be autobiographical. Episode Highlights: - Every J.Lo bridal role, ranked - The craziest wedding scenes in Marry Me - Why Marry Me is the definition of wedding chaos - Performances at weddings: should you ever do one? - When your fiancé has too many ideas Hilarious, unfiltered, and full of sister banter, this episode feels like a rom-com roast and wedding planning chat all rolled into one.

Put on your power pantsuit and exact some just revenge as we sashay into 1992's The First Wives Club. What kind of idiot lets Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, or Diane Keaton go? How do we get justice for Stockard Channing? And can we please get more middle-aged dance sequences in movies? Answers with a healthy side of schadenfreude can be found in this week's episode. 

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.What happens when a Regency-era duke accidentally time-travels to 2025 Chicago? In today's episode, Bryn Donovan joins me to talk about Her Time-Traveling Duke — a magically cozy, Chicago-set romcom that blends Regency charm, modern vibes, and a touch of science-meets-spellwork chaos.We chat about Bryn's life as a former greeting-card writer, why the Art Institute of Chicago feels like pure magic, how she built a low-stakes, lightly-magical world, and the romance titles she's loving right now. If you love Bridgerton, cozy fantasy, or romcoms with heart, spice, and smart heroines, this one's for you.

Man sollte meinen, die aktuelle Weltlage sei Horrortrip genug, warum sollten sich Leute einen gemütlichen Abend bei Stapelchips und Teufelsaustreibung machen, wenn parallel irgendwo eine Romcom mit Meg Ryan läuft? Aber es gibt sie ja, diese Menschen, die eine Jungfrauenhäutung jeder anderen Freizeitgestaltung vorziehen, oder 6 Euro investieren, um sich auf der Cranger Kirmes von einem kopflosen angestaubten Piraten erschrecken zu lassen. Was ist der Zauber dieses Grusels mit Ansage und kann man damit vielleicht noch mehr aus sich rausholen als Angstschweiß und Albträume? Die Antwort ist: Ja! Helge Branscheid ist einer von zwei Probanden, die beim „Peak Fear Experiment“ dabei sein durften. Er wurde unter 2000 Bewerber*innen ausgewählt, sich dem Abenteuer seines Lebens zu stellen. Wissenschaftler*innen der Uni Aarhus wollten herausbekommen, welche unterschiedlichen Angsttypen es gibt, und haben zu diesem Zweck den absoluten Horrortrip inszeniert. 90 Minuten maximaler Stress. Der tapfere Helge hat alles durchgestanden und ist mit einigen Erkenntnissen im Studio vorbeigekommen. Benjamin Moldenhauers Doktorarbeit trägt den Titel: „Ästhetik des Drastischen. Der Horrorfilm als Erfahrungsaggregat“. Warum sind Vampirgeschichten, dunkle Keller und abgeschlagene Gliedmaßen vor allen Dingen im Teenager-Alter der Filmgenuss der Wahl? Und inwiefern kann so eine deftige Schlachtung im Jugendzimmer aufs reale Leben vorbereiten? Antworten und ein paar ausgesuchte Filmempfehlungen bekommt ihr in dieser Folge.

Op 16 december is het 250 jaar geleden dat Jane Austen werd geboren. De zes romans die ze heeft nagelaten worden nog steeds gelezen, herlezen, verfilmd, en voor het toneel bewerkt. Ze is een van de weinige vrouwen die in de literaire canon is opgenomen. Wat is de aantrekkingskracht van haar oeuvre? Pride and Prejudice, vertaald als Trots en vooroordeel (we bespreken de vertaling door Jeske van der Velden en Elke Meiborg), is uitgegroeid een van de grote standaardwerken uit de Engelse literatuur. Het verhaal gaat over Elizabeth Bennet, een intelligente en pittige jongedame die graag zelf wil kiezen met wie ze trouwt. Wanneer ze door haar moeder wordt gekoppeld aan de rijke, maar hooghartige Mr Darcy, heeft ze haar oordeel over hem snel klaar. Ze worden toch verliefd, maar zijn allebei te trots om zich aan de ander te willen binden. Wanneer er andere huwelijkskandidaten voor Elizabeth opduiken is de vraag dan ook: wie wordt uiteindelijk de gelukkige? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Zürcher DIY-Crew ist zurück mit dem zweiten Album – und die Parolen fühlen sich noch gepfefferter an wie seinerseits auf dem Debüt vor drei Jahren: Warum steigen unsere Mieten ständig??? Wie lächerlich ist der – leider gar nicht mal so metaphorische – «Boys Club»??? Zusammen mit Gianna Brühwiler und Sandra Keller klären wir, ob die weniger metaphorischen, dafür umso griffigeren Texte echt, oder nur ein falscher Eindruck in den Sounds!-Ohren sind. Ausserdem besprechen wir im Interview, ob man als kleine Band auf Spotify verzichten kann oder nicht – und welche falschen (und toxischen!) Vorstellungen von Liebe man durch Filme und Serien vermittelt bekommt.

On today's episode, we welcome the dynamic duo, Lily Yasuda and Michael Wolfe, two inspiring filmmakers who have decided to take the road less traveled by creating their own feature film, Like Love. Their journey is one of collaboration, determination, and creativity—filled with moments of laughter and the occasional unexpected hurdle.From the outset, you'll sense the chemistry between Lily and Michael. They first crossed paths during their time at Chapman University, bonding over vulnerable and humorous writing assignments in a creative writing class. Their shared passion for storytelling sparked not only a friendship but also a creative partnership. This partnership culminated in the idea for Like Love, a project born out of their desire to challenge traditional romantic comedy tropes.“We wanted to tell a story that feels real and honest,” Lily shares, “about friendships and the complexities of human connection.”At its heart, Like Love is what they call an “anti-romantic comedy.” Drawing inspiration from classics like When Harry Met Sally, Lily and Michael aim to flip the script on the genre. Instead of perpetuating the myth that friendship between men and women inevitably leads to romance, their film explores the beauty of platonic relationships. As Michael explains, “It's about two friends trying to fall in love and realizing they're better off as friends. That's the kind of story we don't see enough.”Their filmmaking journey hasn't been without its challenges. Crowdfunding has been a pivotal part of bringing Like Love to life. Lily and Michael describe the process as “a full-time job in itself,” requiring not only meticulous planning but also a willingness to be vulnerable and open about their creative vision. They've leaned heavily on their network for support, finding generosity in unexpected places.“The community in Boise has been incredible,” says Lily. “People here are so supportive, offering locations, resources, and even homemade meals for the crew.”Despite the logistical hurdles, their passion for storytelling shines through. Michael, the film's director, admits that directing a micro-budget feature comes with unique pressures. “We're all wearing multiple hats,” he notes, “but it's an amazing experience to work so closely with a team that believes in the project.” Lily, who also stars as the film's lead, balances her roles as actor, writer, and producer with grace, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in every aspect of the project.As they reflect on their experiences, one thing becomes clear: Like Love is more than just a film; it's a testament to the power of community and perseverance. Lily and Michael hope their story inspires other aspiring filmmakers to take the leap. “Making a movie isn't easy,” Lily acknowledges, “but if you're passionate about your story, you'll find a way to make it happen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.
