We're talking about the kind of codependency that doesn't involve another person—it's between us and our phones. From that reflexive scroll the second we feel bored to the panic of being “offline,” we've realized how deep our need for connection really goes. In this episode, we're unpacking our tech attachment issues, how social media feeds our anxiety, and what happens when we actually log off.

Every summer morning, a dedicated group of open-water swimmers — each over the age of 60 — gathers at West Landing in Hampton Bays to swim the calm waters of Peconic Bay. But this ritual is about much more than fitness. Over the years, these daily swims have become a source of deep friendship, connection and joy. This week on the podcast, the editors are joined by filmmaker Doug Gallo and his mother Chris, one of the swimmers featured in his short documentary “West Landing,” which is screening at this year's Hamptons International Film Festival. Together, Doug and Chris share how the film came to life — and reflect on the tight-knit community that's formed in the bay, one swim at a time.

In this episode, we dive into the character of Conrad Fisher from The Summer I Turned Pretty and why he's become the internet's ultimate Gen Z heartthrob. More than just a brooding love interest, Conrad embodies something we don't often see in men today: patience, devotion, and the courage to be vulnerable. We'll talk about how his unwavering love for Belly brought yearning back into the cultural conversation, why so many women are obsessed with him, and what his character reveals about modern dating, where ghosting and “situationships” have replaced risk and romance.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: Slip Jet Setter Travel PillowHannah's Captivation: Frost Buddy To-Go BuddyShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal's Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

This week, we sit down with Dr. Molly Burrets, a USC professor and psychologist who specializes in marriage and divorce, to unpack the emotional work it takes to build a lasting partnership—and what happens when a relationship comes to an end. From the often-overlooked effort required to sustain intimacy to the subtle red flags that signal a marriage may not be sustainable, Dr. Burrets sheds light on the psychology of both commitment and separation. We also explore what the process of divorce looks like beyond the legalities, including the grief, identity shifts, and eventual healing that come with starting over.---Follow Dr. Molly BurretsCheck out her website!!---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Dr. Molly's Captivation: All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation by Elizabeth GilbertEmily's Captivation: Conrad FisherHannah's Captivation: The PittShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal's Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

Let's get right to business, Listeners. Do this now!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Click https://www.omlrmovie.com/screenings and see when and where you can catch “Once More, Like Rain Man”! I first met Bella Zoe Martinez and Melissa Jean Martinez- Areffi at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2022, when their short film “Glory & Injustice” was an Official Selection. Personally, I LOVED that wonderful short where a thirteen year old has to yell at her supervillain father to get his off his butt and go commit some crimes! Imagine my delight when this same team, and when I say “team” I should really say “family,” sent a new film three years later and it is an Oscar-quality short that is amazing in every dimension? No surprise that “Once More, Like Rain Man” came to the 2025 edition of Film Invasion Los Angeles and took home four awards! By the way, I referred to this team as a family and now I should clarify. Melissa and Bella are mother and daughter, and father Andy Areffi is equally involved in every film. Bella and Melissa came over to record the podcast, while Andy deserves this personal shout out for holding down the fort while the others came over to have fun.                                                                     Fingers crossed that someday we get Andy on the podcast! For the record, “Once More, Like Rain Man” won the Grand Jury Awards for Best Short Film, Comedy and Best Performance by a Cast, Short Film.                                                                                                    On top of that, it took home the Filmmakers Awards for Outstanding Direction, Comedy for director Sue Ann Pien as well as the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Cast Performance, Comedy. This conversation was so much fun and we clearly could have talked all night! Enjoy!

That's right.                                                                                                                                                          DIF Podcast guests sometimes get made-from-scratch-fresh- baked-chocolate-chip-cookies!

If you're making a short that's longer than five minutes, be strategic about why. In this episode I break down how to pick a runtime that aligns with your endgame: aiming for TV? Make a 22-minute or 45-minute cut so it functions like a real pilot. Targeting kids' TV? Try ~12 minutes so two stack into a half-hour block. Building a proof-of-concept for a feature? Keep it lean—ideally 5 minutes or less—so the idea hits fast (think Lights Out). Bottom line: your runtime should open doors, not close them.

In this episode, we break down David Sandberg's Kung Fury, a neon-drenched, synth-fueled, 30-minute blast of pure ‘80s fever dream. Join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we unpack the film's delirious mashup of kung-fu cops, time-traveling Nazis, Norse gods, and rampaging arcade machines. From VHS-soaked aesthetics to knowingly absurd one-liners, we dive into how Kung Fury parodies and over-the-top action to create a cult short film that feels like both a lost relic and a parody trailer brought to life.

This week, we're diving into The Cut's article on the rise of the “forever-35 face” and the trend of undetectable facelifts. We break down the difference between SMAS and deep-plane techniques, why more women are turning to surgery earlier, and how treatments like CO₂ lasers, Morpheus8, and other non-surgical options are reshaping what it means to “age well.” From fillers falling out of favor to the influence of Ozempic and celebrity culture, we're asking: is this new era of beauty empowerment, or just another impossible standard wrapped in a softer package?---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: The Gilded AgeHannah's Captivation: Lesser Evil Pumpkin Spice PopcornShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal's Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out. A.J. Lising wrote and directed “Papa's Corner,” a film that was an official selection at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 and took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Supporting Performer in a Short Film, for Val Victa's performance as Papa. A.J. was not able to stay for the Q&A at FI-LA so I was thrilled for the chance to dive deeper with A.J. about his incredible work and get to the 4Qs to see what type of films helped him cultivate it.

This week on The Gal's Guide, we're diving into “The Great Lock In” — TikTok's latest trend encouraging us to use September through December as our most productive season. Think of it as a reset before the holidays: the time to lock in on your goals, stay consistent with your routines, and finally cross those short-term goals off your list. Whether it's getting in shape, saving money, or just proving to yourself that you can commit, we're talking about how to maximize this season of discipline while still leaving room for fun.

A Marvelous Monday to You All! A.J. Lising wrote and directed “Papa's Corner,” a film that was an official selection at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 and took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Supporting Performer in a Short Film, for Val Victa's performance as Papa. I was in the theater for this screening and even though I had already seen it as a member of the jury, after the film's beautiful ending I wept for nearly all of the credits. We did hold a Q&A at the theater with Erik Luminarias (producer & lead actor) and Patricia Esguerra (editor & script supervisor), but A.J. was not able to stay for the Q&A. Once again the Discover Indie Film podcasts gives me a chance to more than make up for a missed Q&A opportunity. It was a pleasure to talk to A.J. and I hope to see a lot more work from him in the future.
