Bromancing The Stone

Wedding Season continues with the 2001 Romcom, The Wedding Planner. Rene and Max go over the ludicrous casting for a film that's supposed to involve Italians, the lack of commitment from first-time Romcom leads Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, and how the lack of quality things to talk about regarding the plot brought back "Tasty Tidbits." Plus there's "The Kiss", "What Happens After Ever After" and "The Verdict". So come nurse your hangover from the weekend with 2 aspirin, lots of water, sleep, a beer in the morning, and this episode!

This week we continue Wedding Season as two best friends discuss My Best Friend's Wedding. Rene and Max wax poetic about Chicago in the summertime, how the movie turns normal romcom conventions on its ear, and that fantastic dinner scene at the seafood restaurant (you know the one). Plus we talk about "The Kiss", "What Happens After Ever After" and give our "Verdicts". So have a listen and remember, Rene and Max say a little prayer for yooouuuuu.

Guess what? It's Wedding Season! Rene and Max are starting their "Wedding Season" for the podcast with movies set at weddings. All the way through the month of July, you will hear their takes on the finest Wedding Romcoms, which includes this week's film, Wedding Crashers. The bros discuss how this film is basically two films in one, which performer deserved an Oscar for their performance in this movie, and Rene tells the story of how his greatest wingman performance at a Wedding. So put on your finest attire and start attacking the open bar, because Wedding Season has arrived to Bromancing The Stone!

Once upon a time, in a far away city called Chicago, there lived two bros. And these bros watched a Romcom from 1954 named Sabrina. Then these bros provided their opinions on the age difference between the lead characters, how funny the sight gags in the movie are, and how the script and film were being completed simultaneously. It's quite a good story... or an episode of a podcast... however you want to call it. 

It's a new poooodcast. You wanna liiiiisten. You wanna loooooove it. Rene and Max review the 2000 film Miss Congeniality. The episode starts with thoughts and airing of frustrations over the state of unrest in society (seriously, defund the police). Then the guys get into the movie and discuss whether or not it actually is a "Romcom", then they go off topic and discuss Rene's first experience seeing Michael Caine in a film and at the very end of the episode, Max talks about how he got his first girlfriend and the similarities between that experience and the scene between Benjamin Bratt and Sandra Bullock where they wrestle in the gym... It's a doozy. Have a listen and let this episode brighten your day.

It's the second film of our Ryan Reynolds double feature and the first film of Sandra Bullock's that we're reviewing! Big day to start off June. We discuss how successful this film was in the box office, the slight choices made in the script that really worked, and whether or not the main characters are actually in love. We also discuss "The Kiss", "Our Verdict", and go down an alternate timeline in "What Happens BEFORE Ever After". This is a fun one, so have a listen!

Today we start a Ryan Reynolds double feature on the podcast as we discuss the 2008 Romcom Definitely, Maybe. There's discussion about how life experiences in real life can alter how a film is received, how having a different writer and director on a film can be a good thing when it comes to figuring out what to keep in a movie, and we go into detail regarding the four leading ladies in the film (including the daughter). Plus there is "The Kiss", "What Happens After Ever After", and "The Verdict". Enjoy the episode!

Today's episode is blessed by another special guest! Rene's sister Rebecca joins he and Max to discuss her experiences being an Assistant and how they compare to the experiences of the protagonists in the 2018 Romcom Set It Up. Then Max and Rene go into the movie and discuss the lack of Romcoms in the 2010's, how Netflix brought it back, and how in the hell this film has a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes! Plus they review "The Kiss", "What Happens After Ever After", and "The Verdict". This is a great episode and we hope you enjoy!

This week, Rene and Max review the 2004 Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo collab, 13 Going On 30. Rene discusses his passionate feelings about "fish out of water" films, Max provides his feelings on why chasing popularity is bad, and the two of them discuss Disney's Robin Hood for a couple of minutes because that movie is a Banger! Plus, "The Kiss", a surprisingly thorough "What Happens After Ever After", and "The Verdict" are all included. So pop this one on and enjoy the episode! Also remember to leave a review and like/follow/rate 5 stars the podcast!

This episode is a fun one! Rene and Max bring in their good friend Matt to discuss his favorite romcom as a birthday gift. Many drinks are had, which leads to a long, winding road of a conversation. There are still discussions about "The Kiss", "What Happens After Ever After", and "The Verdict", but this week it's about all the conversation in between. Enjoy the episode and remember, "You can't ride two horses with one ass, Sugar Bean."
