028 Girls Night In: Favorite Things Anniversary Show

05/29/2008

Anniversary gift from @nevrothwen aka Winnie

The Girls Night In podcast has finally hit a milestone. We’re now one year old. After a year of podcasting, reviewing, questioning and laughing we got together for an evening and tried to jam our favorite parts into one episode. I bet you can imagine how that went with over 24 hours worth of material to cover! Give it a listen to see what we liked more: reviewing movies, topic discussions or just making fun of each other.

Thank you to all of our listeners for.. well.. listening to us this past year, for participating, for the friendships and the fun. Without you folks we wouldn’t have had as much fun as it’s obvious that we have on this show. We love you and hope that you’ll continue to be such a presence in our podcast and lives!

You may or may not have heard rumors about a Girls Night In podcast gathering (meet-up or party, if you will) happening this summer. Well, it’s true! We’ll be gathering in the Chicago, IL area (technically in northwestern Indiana) on July 18-19, 2008 for fun and festivities. Before we can share with you all of the juicy details, we have to finish planning them. See how that works?

Now, in order for the planning to finalize, we need your help. Please take this survey and we’ll get back to announcing the rest of the details just as soon as we can. Thanks for your help!

By registering and attending the gathering, you give Girls Night In permission to use any footage or audio obtained during that weekend at their discretion.

026 Girls Night In: Teacher, Teacher I Declare!

05/14/2008

This week on Girls Night In we had Maggie’s discussion topic on our memories of teachers and school. There were some good memories and some not so good memories. A witch? A cow? Violence? What was the topic again? Well, you’ll just have to listen, it’ll all make sense then.

024 Girls Night In: Enchanted Movie Review

05/01/2008

In this weekly edition of Girls Night In we discussed Maggie’s movie pick, Enchanted staring Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden and Susan Sarandon. You would think that a fairytale brought to life would be every girl’s dream, but was it? Did someone kiss the prince and he turned back into a frog or did we all enjoy the movie, happily ever after? You should know by now that the only way to find out is to listen to the show.

Enchanted Synopsis by Kim
This story brought us into the fantasy land of a quaint common girl. Giselle sang to the animals and with the music she did twirl. A troll happened by threatening her as a snack. Prince Edward had already heard her singing and caught her.. he had a knack. His mother felt threatened, as evil step mothers do in these stories. She needed to fix this so she checked her inventory. A push down the well made fantasy and reality collide, sending her to New York City where there was nowhere for a princess to hide.

She happened upon Morgan followed by Robert her father, a divorce attorney who with her he didn’t want to bother. He was dating Nancy and was soon to propose but then got in some trouble before Giselle could use the curtains for clothes. Robert became enamored and in love they did fall. Edward arrived to rescue his beauty and took her on a date to the King and Queens ball. Poisoned by an apple and saved by a kiss, Giselle then stepped up so that Narcissa no longer would exist.

Edward and Nancy were animated and wed, while Robert and Giselle lived happily ever after, at least that’s what we read.
