Chick Flick Fix

Hosted by Julia Skott and AJ Knox

Love is a many splendored thing, but the stories about it aren’t always as splendid. AJ Knox and Julia Skott try to figure out if they can make chick flicks and romcoms better - or make them weird.

Latest Episode: December 30, 2021 — Let’s get festive and royal.

60 A Christmas Prince

Hosts Julia Skott and AJ Knox

Is it possible that Julia takes some parts of this movie a little too seriously? Yes. Is that always a possibility? Yes. But let’s get festive and royal.

(NB: It gets a little deep and sometimes dark.)
