An all-star cast rounds out the 2015 biopic Steve Jobs, including Kate Winslet, Sarah Snook, Michael Fassbender, Seth Rogan, Jeff Daniels, and Michael Stuhlberg. Kate plays long time, loyal employee Joanna Hoffman who seems to be the only person capable of going toe to toe with Jobs. We would've loved to see some other time periods covered of Apple's company growth, but tune in to hear what we thought of Kate's performance! Website Instagram Merch Support the show

Join us for our review of the 2013 drama Labor Day starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin. Though this movie is a drama, we crack up laughing throughout the episode at the absurd rate at which this movie escalates...but does that mean we loved it or hated it?! Tune in to see how we ranked this movie vs. every other Kate Winslet film! Website Instagram Merch Support the show

This week we are reviewing the FOUR HOUR LONG Hamlet adaptation. Admittedly, the acting and cast are incredible but if you’re wanting to watch this one - cancel your other plans and pencil in some bathroom breaks. Kate absolutely crushes her role as Ophelia, we were entirely entranced in how fully she committed to this role. Tune in to hear how Hamlet ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies, or use this as your Cliff Notes of this famous Shakespeare work! Website Instagram Merch Support the sh...

Join us this week as we review the 2017 film Wonder Wheel. Written/directed by Woody Allen, this movie boasts an eclectic cast including Justin Timberlake, Juno Temple, Jim Belushi, and of course Kate Winslet! Tune in to hear our conflicting thoughts on this film, Kate's unlikable character, but extremely likable acting. PLUS we would be remiss if we reviewed a JT film and did not bring up the biggest showdown: NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys?! Website Instagram Merch Support the show

This week we're reviewing the 2006 movie All The King's Men boasting an all-star cast of Jude Law, Sean Penn, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Hopkins, James Gandolfini, and of course our girl Kate Winslet. As we rehash the plot, we also talk about unique instruments we'd like to play, our student council experiences, and midnight ocean swims. Tune in to see how these topics come up & how All the King's Men ranks vs. every other Kate Winslet movie! Smells Like Humans Like listening to funny friends discu...

This week we have a two-for-one episode reviewing two 1700's period pieces set in France - A Little Chaos (2014) and Quills (2000). A Little Chaos was directed by and stars the late and great Alan Rickman alongside Kate Winslet. Quills co-stars a Girl Crush Pod co-star favorite, Joquin Phoenix, and the incredible Geoffrey Rush - both of which received accolades for their performances. We (unexpectedly) enjoyed both of these movies, for different reasons. Whether you've watched them or not - tun...

Today we explore another period piece, set in the 1800s on the English seaside in the 2020 drama, Ammonite. How neither Kate Winslet nor Saoirse Ronan received any major award buzz for their performances is beyond us! Join us as we discuss the plot, the amazing use of light and color in this movie, a self-assessment on whether we would recognize a fossil if we dug one up on accident, and of course - all things Kate Winslet!

We've watched a lot of strange movies at Girl Crush Podcast, but this one miiiight take the cake! Kate Winslet did a total 180 following Titanic with two eccentric, soul-searching films - and Holy Smoke is certainly one of them. Join us as we review this movie, including our disappointment that it wasn't more cult-y (?!), our top songs we played in the car as teenagers, some of the worst use of slo-mo we've seen yet at GCP, and much much more!

Join us for our review of the 2016 drama Collateral Beauty. This movie boasts an all-star cast of Kate Winslet, Will Smith, Helen Mirren, Edward Norton, Keira Knightly, and Michael Pena. However, this movie proves a stellar cast can only take a script so far... Tune in to find out why this movie fell a little short for us and how it ranks vs. every other Kate Winslet movie! Added bonus: you know we couldn't review a Will Smith movie without talking about The Slap ® and Jada Pinkett Smith. Webs...

This week we're reviewing THREE children's movies starring Kate Winslet! The first is Pride, a BBC TV movie released in 2004. This movie boasts a large cast with Helen Mirren, Rupert Graves, Martin Freeman, and Robbie Coltrane starring alongside Kate! While this just seems like a lackluster attempt at recreating The Lion King, we did love seeing real nature shots and hearing about how they made this live-action movie. The second movie is The Fox and the Child featuring those two titular charact...

Enigma takes us back to Bletchley Park's world famous code breakers during WWII - and a mystery, a mole, and a race against time. Kate Winslet's character is one we have come to know and love from Kate - smart, witty, bold, and a bit reckless at times - wrapped up in an unassuming package. While this movie came out 13 years before the wildly popular Imitation Game, Enigma seems to be far less known. Tune in to hear our thoughts on why that might be, and how it stacks up against all 46 Kate Wins...

Kate Winslet's oscar-winning performance in The Reader was both disturbing and thought provoking. Such complicated feelings present as The Reader ultimately makes you question - at what point does someone not go along with the status quo? Do you speak up to help someone, even when they are guilty of terrible things? Did they age Kate Winslet's feet, or was it a foot double...? Listen in to hear the breakdown of this award winning movie, all of our complicated feelings on it, and how Kate's chil...

Two upper middle-class couples try too hard to do the polite, politically correct thing by working through a disagreement between their sons in Carnage, ultimately devolving and revealing their true feelings about themselves, their partners, and their kids - with no productive outcome. Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, Jodie Foster, and John C Reilly star in this play-like film which we had very different opinions on! Tune in to see where we compromised on scoring and how Carnage ultimately ranks ...

Mary and the Witch's Flower, released in 2017, surprised us with its cute animation and fun plot! Kate voices one of the antagonists in this anime film directed by Oscar nominee Hiromasa Yonebayashi. With an 89% on Rotton Tomatoes, we weren't alone in liking this movie but tune in to hear where this movie ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies. Website Instagram Merch Support the show

Little Children (2006), starring Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Connelly, and Noah Emmerich, is a drama/romance/thriller (?) following an unhappy pair of suburbanites engaging in an affair while the community reacts to a recently released felon. While we felt this melancholy plot plodded along and went down too many side avenues to be a big hit - you should still tune in to hear our full review and how Little Children ranks out of all 46 Kate movies!

Buckle up for possibly our favorite episode of the season reviewing A Christmas Carol (... :The Movie) and Buttons (.... :A Christmas Tale). One is a classic holiday story, with a ~twist~ including mice, distractingly poor animation, and a UK chart-topping single by Kate Winslet herself! The other is like watching a community theater production - what year is it? why are the background characters mouthing the words of lines that are not theirs? it's a musical?! Kate only has one line and then IS...

You know it, you love it, and you don't want to miss our review of The Holiday. Starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black, and Jude Law - give us The Holiday over Love, Actually any day! Cozy up and tune into our review of this beloved classic (though Rotton Tomatoes might disagree with us on that)! Website Instagram Merch Support the show

The 2001 romance drama, Iris, captures the life of novelist Iris Murdoch between flashbacks of her youth and her present-day battle with Alzheimer's. This movie's poignant and effective tug on the heartstrings is no doubt a testament to the stellar cast including Kate Winslet, Dame Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Bonneville, and Penelope Wilton. This film is melancholy, but it packs a punch in just over 90 minutes. Tune in to hear how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies! Website Instagra...

1800's England, two cousins... what could go wrong? Apparently everything. Join us this week as we review Jude. Despite wanting to yell "what is wrong with you! no!" at the screen the whole time while watching this, we agreed the disastrous plot was actually engaging. Kate's character frustratingly waffles on her morals the entire time, everything looks damp and cold, and we both cried. Find out where Jude ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies by listening to this episode! Website Instagram M...

Two more early kid's movies from Kate Winslet are being reviewed this week! Faeries was Kate's first voice-over animated role - a fantastical premise set in a tiny world in the woods. A Kid in King Arthur's Court was Kate's second movie and surprisingly features a bowl-cut-laden medieval Daniel Craig. We think Kate and Daniel deserve a re-do as co-stars as they've gone on to do such amazing things! Listen to hear how these early showings stack up against Kate's other 44 movies!

Finding Neverland stars Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, and Freddie Highmore and is based on the true story of the penning of Peter Pan. Though it may stray from historical facts, the movie is charming, fantastical, and moving. This is a 'kid's movie' that adults can equally enjoy and we just loved it. Listen here to find out how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies! Website Instagram Merch Support the show

In The Life of David Gale, Kate Winslet is a reporter getting an exclusive scoop on the events that lead up to a man landing on death row. The catch? He has spent his entire career as an anti-death-row activist. Smells fishy, right? We were a little surprised by how swept up we were in this drama, as the whole movie is a race against time while Kate tries to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Co-starring with the always incredible Laura Linney, Kevin Spacey (whose character's actions certain...

Are there a ton of stars in this movie? Yes. Is it a musical? Kind of... Is it weird? YES. The genres of musical/comedy both feel like a bit of a stretch for this eccentric 2005 movie. Starring Kate Winslet, James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Mandy Moore, Mary-Louise Parker, and MANY other recognizable names - this is one that left us scratching our heads wondering how the heck so many people signed on for this movie! Despite it all, we have to admit that Kate ...

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio reunite in the emotional 2008 drama, Revolutionary Road. With the tension (and chemistry) off the charts, plus an amazing supporting cast including Kathryn Hahn, Kathy Bates, David Harbour, and Michael Shannon this movie led us down an emotional road. Listen to hear how this film ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies! This is our penultimate episode of the season! Website Instagram Merch Support the show
