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!'

We've managed to bring one of the Greatest Movie Weepers Of All Time into the podcast - the excellent Ebony Bennett. In real life, Ebony is the Deputy Director of the think tank The Australia Institute and the host of Follow The Money podcast.
Ebony nominated Stepmom as it's her go-to cry movie. Julia Roberts plays the title role for two young children called Ben and Anna - she's young and hip, while Susan Sarandon plays the OG mom. The film navigates them all trying to be a family, while Ed Harris does his best in the background to honour his old life and serve his new.
