Welcome to Weepies, pod pals, the movie podcast for people who love to ugly cry about pretend stuff because it beats screaming into a pillow when life gets too real.
Hosts Melanie Tait (veteran cryer) and Kim Lester (reluctant cryer) from A Country Podcast take their friendship to the next level by sharing their favourite weepy movies with each other and inviting their most emotionally intelligent friends to do the same.
In the words of CC Bloom's mum Leona, 'It'll keep you honest' or as Kim/Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own would say 'There's no crying in baseball!'

This is a weepy so pungent with weepiness there's a whole comic routine in one of the biggest rom-coms ever (thank you Rita Wilson and Nora Ephron).
It's An Affair To Remember, one of the greatest romances of all time showcasing the talent and charisma of Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. They're two nice people who begin an affair on a ship, even though they're both betrothed to two nice people who keep them in pretty great lives in New York City. They agree to meet in three months time at the Empire State Building after they've broken up with their partners and got jobs. Of course, the path of true love never did run smooth.
Mel and Kim are joined by Guardian journalist Calla Walquist, who loves this film so much she has a DVD of it. Follow Calla on Twitter.
