There is a reason J. Law won the Oscar for this movie and it was nominated in every acting category. It's so good! The most recent great romcom? Perhaps! We also discuss running, dancing, and thank you notes. Justin, shockingly, saves them for a bad day.

In a classic romcom mix-up, newly dating James and Hailey end up on each other's trains home for the holidays. He's royalty, shes working class, and their families don't know they're dating. What shenanigans will ensue? We’re back, baby!
This week we cover Easy A, starring Emma Stone and Amanda Bynes—one in her first starring role and the other in her last movie role ever.
We have special guest and Youth Correspondent Olivia on to help us decipher all of this youth culture, even for a movie from when we were the youths.
We can all agree that Stanely Tucci and Patricia Clarkson are amazing, and we with they were our parents. Also considered: Peter Malone is the new secret (even to him) identity of Post Malone; boots should be allowed in school bc they can fit extra-long tampons; Sarah has met many famous people; and what does this movie say about female empowerment?
All that and more, so tune in.
This episode discussion revolves around time travel, quantum theory, and existential dread and the meaning of life--you know, normal romcom stuff. With our special guest Laura, we delve into having a relationship in a time loop and how amazingly similar it is to having a relationship during a pandemic. No wonder this is the highest grossing movie ever for Hulu.
Also, Justin practices eulogies while driving alone, prompting us to want to publish a book titled "Eulogies for my Not-Dead Friends," coming out in the fall (jk).
Dinosaurs, crossbows, cunnilingus. Run, don’t walk, to see this movie if you haven’t already.
This week, we capitalize on being six weeks late to covering the Netflix fall romp through the idyllic neighborhoods of Seattle that is Love, Guaranteed. What can we say? This is a classic no hurt romcom: you won't find a tragic past, a missing spouse, a horrible boss, or a mean spirited neighbor in this movie. If you're looking for some fall fun and a serious suspension of disbelief ala the Lifetime network, you've come to the right movie! We do have fun taking this one apart, and we may spend a little too much time recasting, but we can all agree that Heather Graham is a real gem.
This week/month/what day is it? we dunk our way into White Men Can’t Jump. Woody Harrleson surprises everyone, including Justin, with his real basketball skills. Wesley Snipes could be the name of a white British man (a la 30 Rock). Rosie Perez allows Sarah to talk about her Jeopardy! experience and remember her grade school brush with fame. Rosie also challenges Justin to learn how to be a better listener and partner. But the real question we try to answer is: could this be a romantic comedy? What would Gene Shallot say?
