Welcome to Solo Movie Dates

This is a podcast for people who love watching films in the cinema and at home alone, but still want that post movie debrief.

Every week we talk about some pop culture and movie news before deep diving into a film (and sometimes a TV show) I watched solo.

  • Bridgerton Season 4 (part one)
    Feb 3 2026

    On this weeks Solo Movie Date we are diving into Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1... Natalie heads back to the Regency era to break down the first four episodes of Benedict’s long-awaited season. This episode explores the "Cinderella" themes of the series, the jarring age gaps in casting, and the shift toward an "upstairs-downstairs" dynamic as the show highlights the lives of the household staff.

    Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1

    Set against the lavish and competitive backdrop of Regency-era London's high society, the story follows the bohemian second son of the Bridgerton clan as he finds himself enchanted by a mysterious "Lady in Silver" at a masquerade ball. When he later encounters a resilient new maid in his mother's household, he is torn between his search for the elusive debutante and his growing attraction to a woman society deems beneath his station. As scandals brew and Lady Whistledown sharpens her quill, the ton must navigate the thin line between reputation and true desire.

    On this weeks Solo Movie Date we are diving into My Fault: London, an English-language reimagining of the Spanish hit Culpa Mía. We explore the chaotic, high-stakes world of stepsibling attraction, underground street racing, and the absolute messiness of moving across the pond only to find yourself entangled with a "bad boy" who has a penchant for frosted tips and bare-knuckle boxing.

    Pop Culture & Movie News
    • Oscars History + recapSinners just shattered the all-time record with 16 nominations, officially dethroning Titanic and La La Land!
    • Casting Category — Finally, after 25 years of doing nothing new, the Oscars added a Best Achievement in Casting category and the nominees are already stacked.
    • Hudson & Connor — The boys were cute carrying the Olympic torch, but Connor Story is clearly overwhelmed and closing down his socials because the "Heated Rivalry" club nights are getting too big.
    • Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi — Margot is a marketing genius for Wuthering Heights, but yapping about Jacob filling her room with rose petals feels like a total PR stunt.


    My Fault: London

    When Noah's mother, Ella, falls in love with the uber-wealthy William, the two move from America to London to live with William and his son, Nick. Upon arriving, 18-year-old Noah discovers an instant, forbidden attraction between her and "bad boy" Nick. As Noah spends the summer adjusting to her new life and making new friends in Nick’s dangerous social circles—including underground racing and fighting—she is forced to navigate their complicated bond while her devastating past from America finally catches up with her.

  • Finding Her Edge (Episode 5-8)
    Jan 28 2026

    On this weeks Solo Movie Date we are diving into Finding Her Edge (eps 5-8), the Netflix figure skating drama that is basically Persuasion but with more triple axels and way more family trauma. We’re yapping all about the messy transition from the first four episodes to the finale, including why the Russo family might be the most dysfunctional dynasty on ice.

    Finding Her Edge

    After a career-ending injury sidelines her older sister, former ice dancer Adriana Russo is thrust back into the competitive spotlight to save her family’s struggling skating rink. To secure the sponsorships needed to prevent financial ruin, she enters a high-stakes partnership with the "bad boy" of the skating world, Brayden Elliot, and agrees to a fake romance for the cameras. However, the ruse becomes nearly impossible to maintain as she navigates lingering feelings for her first love and former partner, Freddie O'Connell, amidst the crushing expectations of her demanding father.

    Director: Shamim Sarif and Jacqueline Pepall Starring: Madelyn Keys, Cale Ambrozic, Olly Atkins, Alexandra Beaton, and Harmon Walsh
