Lonely Girls PodcastDune Pt.1Dear Listeners, This is Rebecca writing the episode notes and I feel completely inept at writing Dune filled puns. That is what Maddie Daddie is for. Instead I'm just going to thank you from the depths of our souls for listening to our episode about Dune. Maddie has loved this movie from the beginning of our friendship and it has brought her so much comfort through the past few years. I always felt like Dune was Star Wars for A24 boys all grown up and I am not wrong. But it's also for Maddie. And you. If...2024-03-011h 26

Lonely Girls PodcastA Christmas (Surprise) Carol: Muppets, Mathew McConaughey, Modern Psychology & The Man Who (Maybe) Invented ChristmasThis year we accidentally made a very good choice of what to cover for our holiday episode. It began with wanting to discuss A Muppets Christmas Carol which then evolved into wanting to discuss the other adaptations and retellings of the Christmas classic which then led to a Dickensian feat. It’s going to include Madelaine Turner’s EXCELLENT research on Charles Dicken’s life and Rebecca’s subpar knowledge on the topic after watching The Man Who Invented Christmas (an eventual BBC classic). We also watched and will be discussing Ghosts of Girlfriends Past as *gasp* maybe the best adaptati...2023-12-261h 32

Lonely Girls PodcastOn ComparisonIt's been a while since we've done one of these but this week we're bringing you a Topical Episode on Comparison. We approach it from some different angles and were honestly a little surprised how many ways you can discuss it. Madelaine Turner discussing the comparison she gets with Wes Anderson and Rebecca discusses what it's like working in a bridal shop and surrounded being surrounded by mirrors 24/7. Maddie talks about the Beyonce Concert, Rebecca was called vanilla by a boy at a bar the other night, and we even talk about how we're compared to one another. This is...2023-09-261h 22

Lonely Girls PodcastACOTAR Recap Pt. 2: A Court of Wings and RuinY'all. This almost killed us. We possibly ACOTAR-ed too hard and tried to consume too much smut in too short of a timespan which made us lose our minds. We may have read the term 'mate' used too many times in one week. Or there was just way too much war and not enough smut. All that matters is that this week we learned more about ourselves and we're dragging you down to the bottom of the library with us. We will be covering the third book, took the ACOTAR personality quiz to find out which character we are...2023-09-191h 40

This week The Lonely Girls are flying head-first into a world of sexy faeries, seductive smirks, cursed castles, and more lore than either of them were truly prepared for. Recapping the first two novels of Sarah J. Maas's fantasy series, A Court Of Thorns And Roses (known colloquially as ACOTAR), Rebecca and Madelaine get into the nitty gritty of these best-selling books and ask themselves the important questions. Did we see the twist from a mile away? How many...2023-09-041h 42

Lonely Girls PodcastUptown Girls*cue the Billy Joel song* *turn off Billy Joel song*This week we're talking about the 2003 cult classic film, Uptown Girls. This movie was marketed as a rom-com giggly sleepover romp and then ended up being a very delicate and beautiful film about healing our inner child. It is (arguably) one of the best Brittany Murphy performances and maybe THE best performance from a child actor ever. Ever. The movie was initially panned because it never found its exact audience but was held in the public consciousness because of Sarah Edward's costuming. The whimsical and...2023-06-201h 25

Lonely Girls PodcastHoles by Louis SacharYou asked for it (no one asked for it) and we delivered. This week we are talking about Louis Sachar's film and Newberry Medal winning book, Holes. It is a coming of age story about a boy sent away to a juvenile correction camp where he unearths (hell yeah) secrets and breaks family curses. It truly presents as a beautiful children's novel but one foot deeper is an elegant investigation into the prison system and generational trauma... Dig in. This episode was edited by Darcy Brown! We love you Darcy.The video essay...2023-06-131h 34

Lonely Girls PodcastNew Moon & EclipseChristmas Surprise. Back in November 2022 Madelaine and Rebecca were together to watch Bivi play Clara in The Nutcracker and they continued to watch the Twilight series. We truly love talking about these movies so much because they are EXCELLENT pieces of cinema. In this episode we discuss where the hell we've been, rolling down hills, the morality of becoming werewolves, and Howard Shore's score that was honestly too good for these movies.

Lonely Girls PodcastThe Princess BrideBeing iconically nostalgic is what brings us together today. This current season has been a love letter to Madelaine's mom and this film has particular significance for both of them. In this episode we talk about being lonely girls at concerts (Rebecca discusses going to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour and Madelaine tells the story of her 24 hour whirlwind in NYC).

Below we're linking what we hyper fixated on to bring you this. 2023-05-291h 40

Lonely Girls PodcastLonely Girls in the Studio Ghibli UniverseThe Lonely Girls been talking about doing a Miyazaki episode since the inception of the podcast. Madelaine already knew too much about the filmmaker and Rebecca (being Rebecca) never thought that they would have enough time to properly research and give y'all an episode worthy of the topic. But then we became Season 2 Rebecca and Madelaine and thus transformed into much more ambitious ladies.This episode we are discussing the Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli. Their cannon of films mean so much to lonely girls and have some of the best representation of the archetype on screen...2023-05-151h 58

Which is now. We discuss our connection to the books, the life of the author, and (famously) the...2023-05-081h 19

Lonely Girls PodcastLove Actually (a Christmas surprise)We missed y'all! We know that December can be a weird time and we ourselves have been reaching for comfort media for help and thought you may be as well. A Christmas Surprise if you will (a phrase Rebecca coined during the 2022 December TN trip) and chose Love, Actually not just because we love it but also because it's absolutely covered in lonely girls. This 2003 holiday rom-com is one of the best loved and most Popular Media Think Piece as late November comes around. We've read the lists on why we love it, why we shouldn't love it, and...2022-12-261h 30

Lonely Girls PodcastJane Eyre and The Shy GirlReader, we read it. This week we're taking on one of the most adapted, beloved, and read by AP English highs school students works ever. We're talking about Jane Eyre. You know her and you may love her. We decided to take on this sulky teen initially to use her as the pinnacle example of a new term we're going to call The Shy Girl. We thought Charlotte Brontë's most famous heroine would be the PERFECT example of The Shy Girl and because of Madelaine Turner's expertise on the adaptations of this classic we would be g...2022-09-281h 46

Lonely Girls PodcastHunger GamesWelcome, welcome to our first annual episode of The Hunger Games. This past week we both watched our favorite Australians Reaction to Mockingjay (Mike's Mic) and we were like, "Wait naur bestie why are we not doing HangGaymes?" We love nostalgia and to reexamine the past pieces of the media of our childhood and the chokehold this messed up bloody, bloody tale definitely was an obsession of our generation. We're going to be discussing Rebecca's ideas for who should play Haymitch next, what district we come be from, would we survive The Games and Madelaine's ridiculous screw-ball comedy style first...2022-09-111h 00

Lonely Girls PodcastWeddings*clinks champagne flute*We just want to thank you all for joining us today. Today we are talking about the celebration we all know and love. And love to know.

Lonely Girls PodcastJane Austen (Pt. 2)Dearest Listeners, we are (sadly) bringing our Jane Austen coverage to a close this week but we PROMISE we are making the most of it. This week Madelaine recounts an almost lg moment at the Hollywood Bowl, Rebecca outs a Mr. Elton from a certain app, and we go through the Jane Austen cannon and rank each of her heroines from least to most lonely. We then accidentally are able to go through the books and quite speedily are able to sort them all in to lonely girl categories and we are done with our beloved Jane (for now...)2022-08-191h 05

Lonely Girls PodcastPersuasionDid the newest adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion leave us in agony or hope? The release of the 2022 Persuasion has set the Lonely Girls of the world abuzz and so we stayed up past our bedtime to watch the movie and then immediately record an episode. This isn't your regular Janeite rant. Rebecca was very adamant that it wouldn't turn in to that. So instead we talk about the other adaptations, what went wrong in this version, and what we actually enjoyed *gasp*. What did we get right? What did we get wrong? Idk. We're attaching...2022-07-291h 06

Lonely Girls PodcastBarbieIt’s time to party because this week we’re talking about all around good time Barbara Milicent Roberts. How DARE you think we would talk about anything else. The female-gaze-pink-tulle haze of Barbie movies began when Madelaine and Rebecca were the perfect age. At every sleepover, car ride, or babysitting gig there was sure to be a VHS with Barbie being a princess, fairy or fairy princess and we think that’s AWESOME. Listen in to learn about why it’s important for your children to play with dolls, what we can learn from a Barbie parable, and (obviousl...2022-07-0147 min

The Search for Pink PodcastWriter and Director Madelaine TurnerHey y'all! Today we are talking to Madelaine Turner. Madelaine collected a variety of creative skills in her early 20s that led her to making a TikTok once quarantine began. Madelaine first went viral for the video, The Wes Anderson Guide for Surviving a Global Pandemic, and her audience continues to grow. Some of my personal favorites include: Jane Austen's Mamma Mia, Jane Austen's Mean Girls, Alternate Realities, and The Powder Puff Girls. Perfection. Her star shines very bright and I look forward to keep watching everything she puts out. TikTok @madelaineturner Instagram @turnermadelaine http://madelaineturner.com 2021-01-191h 19
