Jaleh and Jessica host a podcast. WHOOPADEEDOO! It’s a quote-fest on this week’s episode, because we’re talking about The Wedding Singer, and it’s impossible not to quote along. We get intellectual about millennial 80s nostalgia before we devolve completely in classic Hart Chicks style. Now take off that Van Halen t-shirt, dear hearts, before you jinx the band and they break up.

The Hart Chicks Present…
Once upon a time, Jaleh and Jess met online talking about a TV show. So we decided to watch a different TV show and make a podcast about it. We liked that so much, we did it again because we can’t stop, won’t stop.
Instead of focusing on one show, we’re branching out. We’ll be doing mini-seasons on a theme, whether it’s movies, songs, TV, or whatever we feel like talking about. This season, it’s rom-coms, some we’ve seen, some we haven’t. #ThingsWillHappen
Past seasons include: Season 1 (Episodes 1-15.5) You’re A Bit of Me: Love Island UK Series 3

Episode 27 / Jul 29th 2021
The Baxter
It’s trope talk this week on The Hart Chicks Present as we ask ourselves so many questions about 2005’s The Baxter. While this film is our type on paper, it better get its grafting boots on. However, we’d go geode hunting in Malta with Justin Theroux and Jack Mechanic any day. We’re Doug and you’re …

The Big Sick
We get deep into our feelings this week in part two of our Kumail couplet, where we all catch The Big Sick, based on Kumail & Emily’s IRL relationship. Jaleh explains why it’s triggering, Jessica yammers on about Ray Romano, and Honorary Hart Chick Jamie publicly apologizes for not laughing at every single one of …

The Lovebirds
It’s the beginning of an accidental triplet, and we are super duper in love with 2020’s The Lovebirds. It’s a caper, it’s a romance, it’s a comedy, it’s Kumail and Issa giving us the goods from t to b. If you like quotes about Doug and Dad, ideas for Sex & the City podcasts, and …

Something New
Skiddly to your mailbox for those Netflix discs, because we’re taking it back to the mid-00s with a gem of a film. We’re talking Something New, but your beloved cohosts are the same as ever. We clamor for a remake with Ryan Atwood, we proclaim ourselves good teeth-ers, and we never walk alone because Donald …
Episode 23 / Jul 2nd 2021
Crazy Rich Asians
Gas up the jet and book your first class sleeping room because we’re flying to Singapore in our minds. We watched Crazy Rich Asians, and we have all the hot takes like, “Awkwafina is hilarious” and “this amount of wealth is unfathomable!” Plus, we talk about The Crown and its gateway into internet rabbitholes, bridesmaids …

Episode 21 / Jun 18th 2021
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
It’s time to cliff-dive into our next couplet: rom-coms with male leads, starting with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a modern classic full of one-liners and Jason Segel’s work of art. We mean the Dracula Musical, of course. Plus, we are pleased as punch to welcome Honorary Hart Chick Vince of The Future Break-Up (@futurebreakup), a guest …
Episode 20 / Jun 11th 2021
Penelope
The Mayors of Tangent Town have returned to discuss the magical realism of the modern fairy-tale, Penelope. We really get into this flick, as well as Rage Against the Machine, IMDB, and the plot of Atonement told badly. Plus, James McAvoy — need we say more? Don your best scarf & coat combo and hop …
Episode 19 / Jun 4th 2021
While You Were Sleeping
Get your tokens, dear hearts, because we’re taking the El straight to Chicago for the April Christmas classic, While You Were Sleeping. Eliza Jo is back too, so you know we have lots of opinions about everything: Spaceballs, string cheese, and the dramaturgical impact of voiceover. No, seriously we do. Flip your coat to the …
Episode 18 / May 28th 2021
The Philadelphia Story
CK Dexter Haven, it’s another classic! Change out of that space-aged dressing gown and swan dive into The Philadelphia Story with us. We talk toxic men, Dateline, drunk acting, and all things yar. We also talk about the actual heroine, which is Dinah and we won’t be taking any questions on the matter. Plus, who …
Episode 17 / May 20th 2021
It Happened One Night
We’re taking it all the way back to the OG rom-com this week, and we’re pleased as punch to talk about what happened one night that was actually like four nights. Hear all about our film critic school past, our Spaceballs tangents, and our whole opinions about Pre-Code Hollywood (spoiler alert: you probably already know). …
Episode 16 / May 14th 2021
Sweet Home Alabama
We’re back, dear hearts, and we’re ready to dive into our first season: Rom-Coms. We had to kick it off with a shoutout to our Bluebell roots with Sweet Home Alabama. We got hot takes on the fashion of 2002, the effects of lightning on sand, and how there is no such thing as a …

Episode 15 / Sep 25th 2020
The Crossroads
We’ve made it, dear hearts. This is the finale, and we basically forgot it’s a glorified clip show! In between things we’ve seen 17 times, we get bits of delights, like Chris Spider-Man Hands, Jamie being bad at something, and a montage of prom dresses on 20-something ladies. We laugh, we cry, we already know …
Episode 14 / Sep 18th 2020
Blazin': No G
It’s the hashtag penultimate episode, and we get introspective and tangenty about it (we know you’re surprised). As we head toward the finish line, we get all the Love Island faves– the secret missions, the family visits, and the final dates. We take one more quick trip to Montanastan while planning an IRL vacation to …
Episode 13 / Sep 11th 2020
Visa Revoked
We’re closing in on the end of villa camp, and we’re happy, sad, and confused about it. There’s a double dumping, there’s screaming children, and the villa brings their special kind of drama. Plus, we finally make the Real World Boston connection you’ve been waiting for. Rock down to Jamie Avenue and get deep with …
Episode 12 / Sep 4th 2020
100% Hotter
Make sure you stay hydrated this week, because everyone in the villa is getting a workout if you know what I mean and I THINK YOU DO. Plus, Mike continues to be hotter than before but not hotter than Jamie (who’s good at EVERYTHING). Theo forgets that when you stir the pot then you gotta …

Time Of My Life
This episode is the surprise sandcastle you didn’t know you needed OR wanted, but we got it just for you, dear hearts.

Episode 10 / Aug 21st 2020
Bellend: Just The Tip
It’s another dysfunctional week in our villa, and against our better judgement, we’re here for it. The Great 2017 Experiment is getting our islanders, which seems perfect for new Islander Theo to stir the pot. Other new Islander Jamie is the CK-One in our hearts, but he’s all in for Camilla (#campers). Plus, Chris & …
Episode 9 / Aug 14th 2020
The Toxicity Of Our Villa
How do you own disorder? You know that means we’re diving into the toxicity of our villa, of our villa. We get the aftermath of Casa Amor which doesn’t matter because they all leave anyway, we get a poll dance, and we both feel very, very old. Plus, we get the most honest & compelling …
