Falling in Love Montage

Helen and Valerie

https://fallinginlovemontage.podbean.com

Every other week, Valerie and Helen will look at a different chick flick (muff film, broad comedy, lady thriller, period movie, whathaveyou) and boil it down to its themes and how those themes affect our tender feminine emotions. Mostly we'll just go off on tangents about Sex and the City. We'll talk about chick flick tropes, like love triangles/squares/pentagons and sisterhood. We'll explore just how strong girl power actually is and if real vampires sparkle in the sunlight, or if that's just movie magic. And we'll reveal our (Helen's) repressed sexual feelings for Hugh Grant. We'll get a dude's opinion, and we'll even listen to it.

From the episode information provided, identify:
- hosts: the regular hosts who appear on this episode (people, by full name)
- guests: any non-regular participants: guests, guest hosts, interviewees (people, by full name)
- topics: the main subjects discussed, as short noun phrases (3 to 8 of them)
- tropes: At the end of every episode, they give the film a score based on which 'Chick Flick' tropes are present. List each trope they mention the film contains here.
- tampons: In each episode, they give a score which is the number of tampons the film receives, based on the number of chick flick tropes present. This score is usually between 0 and 6 tampons, though occasionally it can be a bit higher.  Return in this dimension a single number only, or zero if a number cannot be found. (one number, or null when the episode gives none)
- actors: Actors mentioned in the episode (people, by full name)

Rules:
- Use people's full names, spelled the same way in every episode.
- Values are short: a name or a noun phrase, never a sentence.
- Return an empty list for a dimension when nothing applies. Never invent.
- A number dimension takes a bare number (3.5, not "3.5 stars"), or null when the episode gives none.
- A true/false dimension takes true or false, or null when the episode does not say.
