Popcorn and Possibilities

1.25: Romeo + Juliet: Cryptic Statuses & Conversation Hearts


Listen Later

In this Valentine’s Day episode of Popcorn & Possibilities, Brian and Steph break down Romeo + Juliet (1996) — is it a romance, tragedy, or cautionary tale? Should high schoolers still watch it? Is the story outdated today? And who’s really to blame?

We also dive into Valentine’s Day nostalgia, overpriced flowers, middle school memories, PDA, social media relationships, and the rom-com myths that shaped our expectations about love.

Plus: This? or That? (flowers or chocolate, playlist or mixtape) and the ultimate Valentine’s candy debate — dark vs. milk chocolate, boxed chocolates vs. strawberries, and conversation hearts vs. chocolate kisses.

🎬 A funny, modern take on love, movies, relationships, and 90s nostalgia.
