What a treat we have for you today! Actor/comedian/ray of sunshine Mackenzie Barmen joins us to discuss the original Bridge Jones movie. Was Renée Zellweger really fat? (NO) Who was hotter, Hugh Grant or Colin Firth? (WE DON'T KNOW!) (Probably Hugh). And how did some of these jokes slide by a mere two decades ago?

Delightful British author, Sophie Cousens, joins us to chat about this movie, Kate Hudson, and a tantalizing taste of British celebs and comedians she knows and has worked with. Her latest book is IS SHE REALLY GOING OUT WITH HIM though Paige began raving about her a couple years back after reading THE GOOD PART. If you can resist reading her entire backlist after listening to her talk, it will be a surprise. She is such fun!

Interesting and boring all at the same time (depending who you ask). HER raises truly fascinating questions about what constitutes a "person" if they're not physically present.

It's hard to find fault with a Nancy Meyers movie because the scenery is so intoxicating. That's her trick. She lures us in via gorgeous kitchens with refrigerators to die for...and Jack Nicholson's character very nearly does. Arguably that would have been better, because then she could have stayed with that nice doctor, Keanu Reeves.

Look, there were problems but it was still, overall, a delight. So join us in the Nostalgia machine for a look back at Something's Gotta Give.
