In this Chick Flick Chat, Luci delves into "coupling" using the premise of reality television vs. Hollywood's paradigm, and how film and TV influence our choices. Plus, she offers up some real life dating advice through a funny observation of "what to do and what not to do" when you are interested in someone. The Netflix show, Perfect Match, and movie, A Family Affair, starring Nicole Kidman, and Zac Efron, are both great examples of love, coupling, choices, etc., both real and fictionalized. Join me!

This Chick Flick Chat discusses the powerhouse performances of the two leading men in their respective series. Yes, we are changing it up a bit from the usual women's roles and roles for women, and it was a lot of fun. The masculinity factor can not be ignored in either of these shows, featured on Netflix. Join me!

It isn't often that I'm left speechless, but after watching Murder Mystery 2, I was at a loss of how to discuss this film on Chick Flick Chat. The second movie murders all the joy, fun, and adventure of Murder Mystery 1. Sad to say, but very true, my apologies to Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. See my earlier Chick Flick Chat covering the first of this franchise whereI had high hopes and expectations for the follow up film. Time to go back to the drawing board and recreate the cleverness of the first film in what might possibly be a third. Please, please, please! Netflix owes the fans, and the actors, a chance at film redemption!

Beyond the film review, I share with you 3 of my recent favorite series that are worth watching. There are so many streaming options, it's hard to pick, so I hope my brief critiques steer you in a good direction. I do not share any spoilers on the recommendations, so listen freely and enjoy them.

Also, good news... Chick Flick Chat can now be found on Amazon Music (and Podcasts). Woohoo!

After the Netflix "live" blunder, Luci chats about all things relative to how it effected what we might have seen on the Season 4 Reunion show for "Love Is Blind." There is and was so much to cover at this reunion, the delay provided another element to the reactions and interactions of the hosts and cast. In this chat, we discuss the couples, the hosts, the interloper, the new production choices - which mostly miss the mark - drilling down on it all! If you are a fan of this show, this is the podcast for you. Please see the earlier Chick Flick Chat episode featuring "Love Is Blind," focusing on the first three seasons and the overall premise and promise of this fun concept. Enjoy!

In this Chick Flick Chat, Luci Weston compares and contrasts the book vs. the movie version of "Where The Crawdads Sing." Whichever format you select, you will not be disappointed by this poignant tale of a young girl who learns to survive and thrive in nature. The book is packed with gorgeous description, and the film does a beautiful job of bringing the visuals to life. Directed by Olivia Newman, and starring the talented Daisy Edgar-Jones, the movie will captivate you and takes you on a journey similar to the novel. In this podcast, Luci delves into the essence of how nature vs. nurture is portrayed and the questions of this age old quandary. While there are spoilers, some of the content of this podcast will have you searching for those answers as you read and/or watch. Enjoy!

What can I say about this surprisingly great film? A lot! In this Chick Flick Chat, I discuss not only the excellent performance by an outstanding ensemble cast but also the suburb direction of Sarah Polley. The actresses work seamlessly together, with Judith Ivey, Claire Foy, and Rooney Mara, carrying what is a disturbing, tragic, and amazing true story. This film gave me a chance to really dish the details, and discover the messages that women roles and roles for women offer life in very important ways. So much to chat about, I wish it was a roundtable discussion for this movie! Join me! Note: I said in the opening it was January, but this CFC was recorded on February 8, :)
