Rewind, Rethink: A Movie Podcast
Sep 16, 2026 · 35 min · 10 segments
One of Alice’s favourites! 💕 We’re rewinding *Bridget Jones’s Diary* this week! The modern-day *Pride and Prejudice* for the millennium. Romance, comedy, and a relatable (gasp!) not-skinny…
Alice, I'm just going to open this episode by just asking you, you picked this film.
Why?
You know why.
No, I might know why, but the people listening won't.
I've talked about this film many, many times.
It's probably, it's my top ten favourite film.
I was
going to ask whether it's in your top five or something.
Top five comfort films, maybe top three comfort films.
Do you resonate with it? Yes.
Okay, cool.
All right.
Love it.
So what are we doing today? Bridget changes diary.
Excellent.
Here she is.
How's your love life?
How's your
love life?
Why is it there are so many unmarried women in their 30s these days, Bridget?
I suppose it doesn't help that underneath our clothes, our entire bodies are covered in scales.
Mother's trying to fix you up with some divorcee.
You remember Bridget? She used to run around your lawn with no clothes on, remember? That was the moment I decided to take control of my life.
Resolution number one, lose 20 pounds.
Hmm.
Number two, drink less.
Very bad start to the year.
We'll persevere with resolution to find a nice, sensible man.
How
about a drink at my place? Totally innocent, no funny business, just full sex.
Now, these are very silly little boots, and this is a very silly little dress.
And these are absolutely enormous
pearls.
Jesus.
You got a boyfriend? A real one?
I have, and he's perfect.
I hope he's good enough for our little Bridget.
I'm
king of the world! I think I can say with total confidence, absolutely not.
Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess with a very bad man between her thighs.
Mum.
Perfect.
Excellent.
Delicious.
I like you very much.
Just as you are.
But quick! It's a real fight! To Bridget, just as she is.
