  • Counting down the top 5 TV couples with Sharyn Casey
    2025/05/08

    TV and radio powerhouse Sharyn Casey joins me this week to countdown the HR community's top voted TV couples. But mainly this episode is just two horny mums in their late 30's drooling over men we will never even be in the same room as.

    I laughed a lot during this episode, I laughed a lot editing it, and I hope it brings you all the joy as you let yourself get carried away into a world of sexy TV boyfriends. Amen.

    Content warning: there's some swears and some adult themes. Duh!

    Love you, more than a friend!

  • 'It Ends With Us' (2025) with Guy Mansell
    2025/05/01

    NOTE: This film deals with a very prominent DV storyline, and as such this is discussed within the episode.

    It's the episode I never saw coming, and the film I never thought I'd watch! This week, my mate Guy Mansell joins us to discuss 'It Ends With Us' in a STRICTLY PERIPHERAL DRAMA FREE episode.

    Some of the questions posed:

    • Why isn't the actor who plays Atlas in everything? And can he drop his skincare routine?
    • Where did Lily get the money for that boujee ass flower shop?

    Love you, more than a friend!

  • 'Love Actually' (2003) with Emma Clifton
    2025/04/24

    The book is out, I have recovered (just!) and so now...the podcast returns. And WHAT A TITLE to return with!

    'Love Actually' is not only the most requested film, but also the one that comes up the most during other episodes. I am delighted to welcome publishing superstar Emma Clifton to the poddy, who has seen this film more than 20 times (which doesn't sound as crazy when you do the maths and realise its once a year since it came out...)

    This episode is pretty much a love letter to Colin Firth. We also deep dive the strange sexiness of Alan Rickman (may he rest in peace) and the eternal queen Emma Thompson who is utterly flawless in this film, and every other film on earth.

    Love you, more than a friend

  • 'Crazy Stupid Love' (2011) with Amelia Stamos
    2025/03/20

    Infidelity, fate, Fboys and Ryan Gosling's abdominals. It's all here, people!

    This movie rules, and this was such a fun episode to do with first time Hopeless Romantic Amelia Stamos. We go deep (can a relationship survive infidelity?) and we go shallow (would you have sex with Ryan Gosling after meeting him at the bar for ten minutes?).

    Love you, more than a friend x

  • Matthias and Maxime (and ten other movies) with Chris Parker
    2025/03/17

    Chris Parker is a kiwi comedian, writer, actor and perhaps most notably the guest who initially suggested the most absurd 'romance' film (it was Deep Impact. And to be fair he argues a great point at the start of this episode).

    We settled on French Canadian director Xavier Dolan's stunning film Matthias and Maxime which I'd not heard of before the podcast, but absolutely ADORED.

    You don't need to see the film to enjoy this episode as we cover soooo many other wonderful themes and films, but please see the film at some point in your life because it's beautiful. You can watch it on Apple TV.

    Love you, more than a friend x
