Transcribe →Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (Justice for Mark Darcy!)
Feb 17, 202500:56:44Tap to summarizeSend us a textThis week on Mummy Dearest Podcast, Zach and Sloane unwrap 2025's straight-to-Peacock widow rom-com: "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy"! This is the 4th installment in the Bridget Jones series so you probably know what to expect: sweet but bumbling Bridget squints her way into the hearts of everyone she encounters with her messy hair, sloppy outfits, and pouty little lips. What Zach and Sloane neglected to mention was her friend Tom's concerning health guru / cult leader hair, so please excuse them for not discussing that at length. The movie is predictable but also predictably cute and the perfect thing to watch if you're home sick or if you're above the age of 35. So sit back, turn the volume up loud, and enjoy this week's episode of Mummy Dearest Podcast!

Transcribe →Goodfellas (Justice for Ray Liotta's Ghost!)
Feb 3, 202501:13:28Tap to summarizeSend us a textThis week on Mummy Dearest Podcast Zach and Sloane unwrap every Italian-American man's favorite film: "Goodfellas"! Sloane accidentally took a melatonin and an Ambien and a Percocet and some pills she found on the body of Michael Jackson before taping this show so she's a tad slow on the uptake this episode. But don't worry, the duo spend plenty of time talking about cannolis, Strombolis and Zach's plans for his chain of Copacabana nightclubs. The pair are joined by a very special guest: Crawlie Paulie Tall Socks who regales listeners with an off-color joke from Sloane's mom.
