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!'

Yet again, we're weeping to a film about two lonely people having an affair. It's the film that Guardian called the Number 1 Romantic Film Of All Time, and has been recommended to us by the brilliant author and screenwriter Rae Earl.
Brief Encounter is a 1945 British classic, written by Noel Coward, that tells the story of a brief affair between housewife Laura Jessen and Doctor Alec Harvey, who meet at a train station.
This is an illuminating discussion on Brits and crying, and class. Don't miss this chat, even if you've not seen the movie. You'll want to after listening to this.
