Bromancing The Stone

This year's Valentine's Day movie is the ubiquitous Marry Me, which was released this past weekend! Rene and Max want to completely discount the premise of the movie... but it kinda still seems plausible... in any instance, this Romcom is a throwback to Romcoms with an unbelievable premise and good times, which Rene and Max discuss. Have a listen!

This podcast episode is urgent as a M***** F*****. Rene and Max watched the 1997 Romantic Dramedy Love Jones and they talk about how cool Chicago is, how nice a change of pace this film is, and how much Rene loves the musical montage in this film. There's also a podcast announcement at the end, so listen for that!

Rene and Max continue down the Nancy Meyers road with another one of her Romcoms. This time, they watch 2009's It's Complicated and ask the question "why is it so complicated?" Give a listen for the answer!

Rene and Max watched the Nancy Meyers 2003 Romcom Opus Something's Gotta Give. They remark on the décor of the film, but mostly they rue the fact that Meyers wrote, produced, and directed this film solo, which often leads to a muddled mess... Have a listen and see what the guys mean. 

This week Rene and Max are joined by Max's lovely girlfriend Gabi Crowley to discuss the 2004 Romcom Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! Gabi explains her history with the film and why she likes it, then Rene and Max share their thoughts, which are interesting because the director of this film is a familiar name on this pod and not in a good way. Have a listen and enjoy!

Rene and Max are convinced that Ocean's 11 is a Romcom and they will convince you too! Have a listen!

Rene and Max come back from a mini vacation to give their final episode of 2021 reviewing 2020 Holiday Romcom Happiest Season. In the midst of the episode, you also get updates on a fantastic 4th quarter of the Music City Bowl. The podcast contains multitudes! Enjoy!

Rene and Max watch the third and final part of Rene's personal Holiday Romcom Trilogy, The Family Stone. Rene admits to have seen this film for as many times as years its been released, and he explains some parts to Max that Max may have needed additional info. Max also questions who is even the main character of the film and there is not a simple answer. This movie requires discussion in the best way, so join Rene and Max as they discuss the film.

This week Rene and Max dive into Netflix's 2021 Holiday Romcom offering Love Hard. They remark on the generic title, the formulaic plot, and how it all still works together because it's hard to mess up a Romcom if you are competent (which these filmmakers appear to be). So get cozy and enjoy the episode!

This week the podcast returns to its normal rhythm, by watching a movie and then discussing it for the TENS and TENS of listeners! Rene and Max focus on the 2008 Raunchy Romcom Zack And Miri Make A Porno and discuss the great performance by Elizabeth Banks, the vulnerability of the main character Zack, and just how raunchy the jokes are in this film. It's a nice return to form for the podcast, so have a listen!
