| 4.FINALE - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind | Kate Winslet | 27 Feb 2024 | 00:29:00 | |
We are rounding out season 4 of Girl Crush reviewing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind starring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey! Kate's portrayal of eclectic Clementine earned her an Oscar nom. This movie is emotional, thought-provoking, happy and sad - a modern classic. | |||
| 4.39 - Revolutionary Road | Kate Winslet | 20 Feb 2024 | 00:48:03 | |
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. | |||
| 4.38 - Romance & Cigarettes | Kate Winslet | 13 Feb 2024 | 00:21:45 | |
Are there a ton of stars in this movie? Yes. | |||
| 4.37 - The Life of David Gale | Kate Winslet | 06 Feb 2024 | 00:36:44 | |
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 certainly continue to not age well), and an opera-loving-always-lurking-cowboy (Matt Craven) - come along with us as we review this dark thriller/mystery/drama and find out how it ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet films! | |||
| 4.36 - Finding Neverland | Kate Winslet | 30 Jan 2024 | 00:23:51 | |
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! | |||
| 4.35 - Jude | Kate Winslet | 23 Jan 2024 | 00:36:07 | |
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! | |||
| 4.34 - Faeries & A Kid in King Arthur's Court | Kate Winslet | 16 Jan 2024 | 00:45:49 | |
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! | |||
| 4.33 - Iris | Kate Winslet | 02 Jan 2024 | 00:22:05 | |
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! | |||
| 4.32 - The Holiday | Kate Winslet | 26 Dec 2023 | 00:34:40 | |
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)! | |||
| 4.31 - A Christmas Carol & Buttons | Kate Winslet | 19 Dec 2023 | 00:50:56 | |
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 ISN'T IN THE MOVIE?! In other words - it's wholesome but not good and we cried laughing while recording the episode and you absolutely don't want to miss it! | |||
| 4.30 - Little Children | Kate Winslet | 12 Dec 2023 | 00:38:29 | |
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! | |||
| 4.29 - Mary & The Witch's Flower | Kate Winslet | 05 Dec 2023 | 00:25:04 | |
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. | |||
| 4.28 - Carnage | Kate Winslet | 28 Nov 2023 | 00:27:55 | |
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. | |||
| 4.27 - The Reader | Kate Winslet | 21 Nov 2023 | 00:46:05 | |
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...? | |||
| 4.26 - Enigma | Kate Winslet | 14 Nov 2023 | 00:28:56 | |
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. | |||
| 4.25 - Children's Animal Movies | Kate Winslet | 07 Nov 2023 | 00:58:31 | |
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. | |||
| 4.24 - Collateral Beauty | Kate Winslet | 31 Oct 2023 | 00:31:56 | |
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! | |||
| 4.23 - Holy Smoke | Kate Winslet | 24 Oct 2023 | 00:44:02 | |
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. | |||
| 4.22 - Ammonite | Kate Winslet | 17 Oct 2023 | 00:43:19 | |
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! | |||
| 4.21 - A Little Chaos & Quills (1700's Period Pieces) | Kate Winslet | 10 Oct 2023 | 01:07:43 | |
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. | |||
| 4.20 - All The King's Men | Kate Winslet | 03 Oct 2023 | 00:31:16 | |
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. | |||
| 4.19 - Wonder Wheel | Kate Winslet | 26 Sep 2023 | 00:31:10 | |
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! | |||
| 4.18 - Hamlet | Kate Winslet | 19 Sep 2023 | 00:40:34 | |
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. | |||
| 4.17 - Labor Day | Kate Winslet | 12 Sep 2023 | 00:45:08 | |
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! | |||
| 4.16 - Steve Jobs | Kate Winslet | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:23:51 | |
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! | |||
| 4.15 - Blackbird | Kate Winslet | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:28:01 | |
The 2019 drama, Blackbird, stars Kate Winslet, Susan Sarandon, and Rainn Wilson amongst a very talented cast. This moving film focuses on one weekend of a family grappling with their mother's choice to end her life as she faces a debilitating terminal illness. Posed as an emotional think piece, we both cried big tears watching this movie. Tune in to hear how Blackbird ranks out of all 46 Kate Winslet movies! | |||
| 4.14 - The Dressmaker | Kate Winslet | 15 Aug 2023 | 00:36:26 | |
Join us for our review of The Dressmaker, a 2015 dramedy with a quirky plot escalation that seems to be polarizing for viewers! This film stars Kate Winslet alongside Liam Hemsworth and Sarah Snook. | |||
| 4.13 - Triple 9 | Kate Winslet | 08 Aug 2023 | 00:37:03 | |
Tune in as we review the 2016 crime thriller Triple 9. While this film boasted big stars alongside Kate Winslet (such as Woody Harrelson, Gal Gadot, Casey Affleck, and Anthony Mackie), we think it left something to be desired. | |||
| 4.12 - Divergent and Insurgent | Kate Winslet | 01 Aug 2023 | 01:01:51 | |
Join us as we review Divergent and its sequel Insurgent, based off of the popular book series by Veronica Roth. We dive into how Kate Winslet performs as a villain, what factions we think we would be in if we had to choose, how our biggest fears would show up in simulations, and really what makes these young-adult movies so likable! | |||
| 4.11 - Flushed Away | Kate Winslet | 25 Jul 2023 | 00:26:17 | |
Escape from "up top" and come explore the (dare we say 'quaint'??) sewers of London in the 2006 animated movie, Flushed Away. This simply plotted kid's movie stars Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman as they adventure and outsmart their frog and toad nemeses. While this isn't our favorite animated movie from our girl crushes, the animation and soundtrack are both nostalgic and fun. Tune in to hear where this ranks on the charts of all Kate Winslet movies! | |||
| 4.10 - Hideous Kinky | Kate Winslet | 18 Jul 2023 | 00:36:58 | |
Come explore 1970’s Morocco this week as we rate and review Kate Winslet’s less glamorous eat-pray-love adventure! Don’t worry, this episode is still PG - the movie’s title is a catch phrase from a children’s game. We have to say - Kate pulls off the no makeup, tan, crimped hair vibes immaculately. Tune in to hear how this movie ranks! | |||
| 1.BONUS #12 Jeremy Garelick: Murder Mystery 2 Director | Jennifer Aniston | 06 Jun 2023 | 01:09:10 | |

Kate Winslet just won a 2023 BAFTA for her leading role in I Am Ruth which is part of an anthology featuring women's stories. This movie (or "episode") focuses on the mental health impacts of social media, particularly on young women. It is especially moving as Kate is acting alongside her own children, most notably her daughter Mia Threapleton. | |||
| 4.8 - Heavenly Creatures | Kate Winslet | 23 May 2023 | 00:49:03 | |
We're bringing you back to Kate Winslet's very first movie Heavenly Creatures, released in 1994. This film, directed by the legendary Peter Jackson, is based on the shocking true story of a 1950's murder in New Zealand committed by two best friends. | |||

| 4.5 - Contagion | Kate Winslet | 25 Apr 2023 | 00:41:54 | |
This week we review the 2011 pandemic movie, Contagion, starring Kate Winslet, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Gwyneth Paltrow, and more! While this movie had a streaming revival during the early days of COVID-19 (people taking notes? Dark humor? Essential oil MLM-ers drafting business plans?), we are still on the fence if this movie is effortlessly rewatchable or still a little too familiar for comfort! | |||
| 4.4 - Movie 43 | Kate Winslet | 18 Apr 2023 | 00:34:04 | |
Join us as we review...two versions? of Movie 43. We accidentally watched two different versions of this movie (UK and US). A very odd compilation of shorts, this "movie" somehow boasts an all-star cast including Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Chris Pratt, Anna Faris, Halle Berry, Emma Stone, Kristen Bell, Kieran Culkin, Gerard Butler, Jason Sudeikis, Justin Long, Terrence Howard, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Duhamel, Uma Thurman, Seth MacFarlane, and more! | |||
| 4.3 - Sense & Sensibility | Kate Winslet | 11 Apr 2023 | 00:46:20 | |

In addition to the deep-dive we do on the plot and Kate's acting, we also reveal some fun facts about the movie! | |||
| 4.2 - Avatar 2: The Way of Water | Kate Winslet | 04 Apr 2023 | 00:42:42 | |
Join us as we explore Pandora with our review of Avatar 2: The Way of Water. This sequel leaves little to be desired from a visual standpoint...but much to be desired plot-wise. Tune in to find out why we were torn on how to rate this epic movie! | |||
| 4.1 - Titanic | Kate Winslet | 28 Mar 2023 | 01:19:19 | |

| 3.36 - Walk the Line | Reese Witherspoon | 11 Oct 2022 | 00:41:17 | |
We are in the final countdown for our season rating and ranking every Reese Witherspoon movie and the time has come to review Reese's academy award winning performance as June Carter in Walk the Line.

| 3.35 - Rendition | Reese Witherspoon | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:34:55 | |

| 3.34 - Home Again | Reese Witherspoon | 27 Sep 2022 | 00:38:39 | |
Who says they don’t make a good modern rom com anymore?? ok, we def do 😅 BUT that was before we had the pleasure of watching Reese Witherspoon in 2017’s Home Again. The innocent enough plot is full of feel good moments, laughs, and arguably one of our favorite Reese characters. Tune in to hear how this one ranks across all 41 Reese movies and the (one) thing we would change about this movie! | |||
| 3.33 - Inherent Vice | Reese Witherspoon | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:24:36 | |
This week we are visiting yet another noir film of Reese’s starring some of her familiar co-stars: Joaquin Phoenix, Owen Wilson, and Josh Brolin! While this movie is overall a little confusing (so many characters 😅), we appreciated it more when considering the point of view it was being told from. Listen to hear how it ranks out of all 41 Reese movies and our thoughts on the plot and all things Reese! | |||
| 3.32 - Jack the Bear | Reese Witherspoon | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:43:16 | |
Usually, when we have to order a DVD from another country to watch a movie we *know* what we are in for but honestly couldn’t have even begun to guess for Jack the Bear. This strange 1993 film starring Danny DeVito and Gary Senise (Reese plays a small supporting role!) left us scratching our heads. Is it for kids? Adults? Why did the central plot start halfway through the movie? Tune in to the episode to hear our much more entertaining and less confusing synopsis of this movie and find out how it stacks against all Reese Witherspoon movies! | |||
