The rom coms continue as Paula and Justin study the early days of the genre by watching The Philadelphia Story. In this film, Katherine Hepburn, a wealthy socialite, is forced to choose between Cary Grant, her-ex husband, John Howard, her fiancee, and Jimmy Stewart, an intellectual reporter with a heart of gold.

While the ultimate answer of who gets the girl was determined by a censor review board, this film has a lot of fun showing the difference between old love and infatuation.

Surprise - Paula and Justin watch Crazy Rich Asians, the film that's (no surprise) dominating the box office, proving that Americans are as hungry for representation as they are for rom coms. Long live the rom com!

Crazy, Rich, Asians is 100% formulaic, but what's old feels new again as we watch secret identities, parental disapproval, makeovers, a clash of cultures, hilarious sidekicks, and gay fixers play out among Singapore's wealthy elite. The casting is superb and the settings are lush. And even if you take issue with the formula itself, you'll probably still walk away in a state of cinematic bliss.

Paula and Justin review Once, a film that captured Paula's heart and that Justin watched ten years too late. Once is a low-budget sleeper hit starring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova (The Swell Season)where beautiful, intense music tells the story of a sweet, but poorly timed romance between a guy and a girl.

This film catapulted its leads to acclaim and musical success, leading them to live the film's love story IRL, but in reverse. If you like emotionally charged folk rock a la Mumford & Sons, you'll probably love this, and if you don't, then save yourself the spat with your significant other and find something else to watch.

Paula and Justin review Purple Rain, the mostly autobiographical film about Prince's family, career, and romantic dalliances set in the music mecca that is Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Although more an elongated music video than movie, Purple Rain reminds us of why the world was and continues to be captivated by Prince. His acting is terrible. His taste in women is questionable. His artistry is unparalleled.

Paula and Justin kick off their series about Musicals with the 2001 phenomenon Moulin Rouge!

Things get weird in this mash up of classical opera, the greatest hits of the 70's, 80's, and 90's, and tired tropes about prostitutes and tuberculosis!

Paula and Justin review The Preacher's Wife, the final film in the We Need to Talk About Kevin and Whitney series that features Denzel Washington as an adorable angel sent down by God to break up Whitney Houston's marriage (JK).

A modern retelling of 1948's The Bishop's Wife, The Preacher's Wife sets its story in a different environment, but sticks to its wholesome origins. Most of the characters in the film yearn for the good old days, but take out their frustrations in a way that's suitable for its PG rating. The approach makes for a feel good film, but one that could also be considered out of touch. Luckily there's a Whitney solo to save us!

Paula and Justin review Field of Dreams, the last Kevin Costner film in the We Need to Talk about Kevin and Whitney series, a quintessential American tale of faith, baseball, and Iowa field corn.

Field of Dreams takes its protagonist on an epic, cross country quest to pick up its supporting cast, including James Earl Jones. The two men have more in common than meets the eye, specifically deep seated regret, and the only cure is baseball. This tear jerker reminds us that some of the things that make us American can help us heal. A message that resonates as much today as it did when the film was released.

Paula and Justin review Waiting to Exhale, the third film in the We Need to Talk About Kevin and Whitney Series, best known for its strong cast of dynamic leading ladies and for Whitney's Shoop, Shoop song (not to be confused with Salt-N-Pepa).

Set in Phoenix, Waiting to Exhale follows the lives of four friends struggling to find real love and good men. Like their dating lives, their character arcs are bumpy at best and while this is a film for women, there isn't much substance here that's not directly related to men. That being said, we appreciate how this film depicted strong, successful black women and their struggle to be seen independent of any man and to find partners truly worthy of them.

Paula and Justin review Dances with Wolves, the second film in the We Need to Talk About Kevin and Whitney Series, the critically acclaimed western that reimagined the genre.

Dances with Wolves was Kevin Costner's passion project and its themes, characterizations, and 3 plus hour run time could have made this a huge flop. Instead, the world got an extremely well done film with a clear, compelling story (including a romance) and semi-accurate depictions of the end of the frontier. This one may not be a pure romance, but it is full of sincere admiration for a way of living built on mutual respect.

Paula and Justin review The Bodyguard, the first feature in the We Need to Talk About Kevin series, which, over the course of this episode, becomes the We Need to Talk About Kevin and Whitney series.

The Bodyguard launched Whitney Houston's film career and while the film wasn't critically acclaimed, its soundtrack is one of the best selling of all time. We should be thankful for this Whitney/Kevin collaboration if only because it produced Whitney Houston's iconic cover of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You and proved that Hollywood could depict interracial romance in an extremely conventional way.
