Starring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman, not to mention Peter Gallagher, this episode is from long ago and we somehow forgot to upload it. And best of all, it stars our friend Laura! We talk Christmas trees, Christmas ruses, and Chicago. We miss you, Laura!

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!

It’s been a loooong time since we recorded this episode, so I can’t remember really anything we talked about. But according to Justin’s notes, we talked a lot about wine! Big surprise! We really need to get back to recording…

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...

Starring John Cusack and Ione Skye, this true 80s classic holds up as one of the strangest combinations of a romcom and a father-daughter relationship tested by a daughter growing up and a father going to prison. We discuss the needle John Mahoney threaded there, and we dive into whether to tell your parents you lost your virginity, the required weirdness of driving instructors, and Justin’s semi-retired life. Plus, a giant boombox.

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. This episode discussion revolves around time travel, quantum theory, and existential dread and the meaning of life--you know,...

Just in time for Christmas, this delightful lesbian rom-com has a cast chock full of queer actors and powerhouses, like our very own favorite Dan Levy. But somehow, we still make this episode mostly about us, sharing stories about our own experiences in gay bars, awkward family Christmas moments, and the joy of the White Elephant gift exchange. This movie is so good that we unilaterally recommend it to anyone and everyone. It is heartwarming, timely, funny, and pretty much a perfect rom-com....

This week, we go back to the year 2000, when basketball and hiphop were perhaps even cooler than they are now. Produced by Spike Lee and directed and written by Gina Prince-Bythewood (a lady!), this modern classic is told in four quarters. Justin talking about Dick Vital and Sarah talking about HS band is inevitable. But we also delve into the history of the Black Eyed Peas, sexy R&B music, and sly glances as wieners. Alfrie Woodard doesn't age, but are you in good hands?

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...

This week, we have special guest Mike Donohoe to discuss heavy hitter How to Lose a Guy, a Hudson-McConaughey classic. We discuss whether Justin is a bad boy, if we've ever made wagers about relationships, and whether all really is "love in fair and war." Mike clearly doesn't think McConaughey is as sexy or alluring as Justin does, but does anyone?

This episode is over a year old. Our special guest Spicy Dave made it incredibly hard to edit due to yelling, inappropriate comments, and offensive topics. However, he did drink a 40 and suggest that everyone take off their shirts. We also discuss getting caught masturbating, Ryan Gosling's chest, and the worthiness of expensive liquor. Can you tell we were all over the place?

This week, we cover the Netflix movie The Half of It, which is a cover of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac. Is this a teen movie? Is this a new twist on an old story with an LGBTQ lens? Is this an immigrant story? Perhaps a Bildungsroman? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. We also indulge in a Greek mythology and philosophy lesson (sorry), a sex ed lesson (yay), and the majesty of Gordon Lightfoot. Novogratz rules!

Starring Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan, this week we rediscover a gem of a movie perfect for quarantine times. We discuss whether our relationships would survive a coma, what constitutes good dating advice, and what our dealbreakers/necessities are (i.e. Star Wars, the Muppets, and Seinfeld). And, yes, I know Bob Marley wrote "Redemption Song." I'm kicking myself, too.

This week, we dive into the meta moment with "Isn't It Romantic," starring mostly Rebel Wilson and Adam Devine. Justin and Sarah discuss whether Adam Devine could go full Hanks and have a dramatic movie career. We talk ice cream and caffeine and all those boring old people decisions we have to make now. And we talk future rom-com writing opportunities with karaoke and "My prom date took my job" as a working title. Is it still pandemic time? What day is it again?

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...

Our first sequel! In this lovely Netflix follow-up to the juggernaut To All the Boys I Loved Before, we come back to see what's up with Laura Jean and Peter now that they're an item. And we find out what exactly happened to John Ambrose and the letter he unintentionally received from Laura Jean. Justin can't remember anyone or anything from the first movie, so we have to do a little reviewing. We discuss Valentine's Day during our school years, day dates, ice cream sandwiches, and Fakesgiving!

This week, we cover Yesterday, starring Himesh Patel and Lily James. It’s that Beatles movie everyone was excited about but no one saw, and if they did see it, they mostly hated it. Is it a Beatles movie? Is it a rom-com? Can it be both? We just don’t know. Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis do their best to try to do both, but its lack of box office pull shows that there’s a lot they probably could have done differently. Was it fun? Absolutely! Best soundtrack thus far!

This week, it’s rom-com heavy Tom Hanks opposite the delightful Daryl Hannah in this whimsical retelling of the Little Mermaid story. NYC, John Candy, Eugene Levy: need we say more? Well, how do mermaids reproduce? Does Tom Hanks become a mermaid? Is Disney World the greatest place on Earth? Is Madison a good girl baby name? So many questions and so many answers!

Yes, it's another Christmas movie. Yes, it's late January. But Christmas is a state of mind, and this one is worth the wait. With our special guest Laura, we try (once again) to figure out ghost logic, organ donating, the streets of London, Christmas-themed nicknames, and a big old talent-show ending. This really has it all (including homemade marshmallows). It may not be in theaters anymore, but Last Christmas should be first on your list at Redbox.

This week, we are covering yet another family rom-com-dram with a huge cast full of big talent. Did they use all that talent to good end? Sarah breaks down the four crazy plot points of this movie and makes Justin decide which is most improbable. Rachel McAdams is so sassy, SJP plays difficult so good, and the deaf brother is also gay! This movie has a great grip on the messiness of family and holidays with a good dose of cancer and morbidity. Get ready for Christmas!

In this Lifetime movies from 2015, we meet Kate, the workaholic lawyer, and Daniel, the disgruntled ghost who becomes a real man for only 12 days a year. Mystery, death, bootlegging, and Christmas parties ensue. Can Kate and Daniel make love work across 100 years (and despite the face that he's married and dead...)? It's Christmas after all.

On this Thanksgiving weekend, we celebrate a movie that starts as a romcom and becomes so much more. A family romdramedy with a heart of gold, this one is a keeper. And it’s written by the UK’s version of Nora Ephron, Richard Curtis. Except, why are Rachel McAdams’ bangs so bad? Why, Richard??

Starring Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis, this little ditty explores the Harry Met Sally question of whether men and women can be friends. We explore our own friendship as well as those we've had with other members of the opposite sex; we discuss dudes that get under our skin; and we wonder if tequila is still something we need in our lives. Write in to tell us your tequila and friendship stories! Can women and men really be just friends? Does Justin have a chance in hell with Alison Brie?
