It's finally here! Season 2 finale is here and we're putting you in the holiday spirit with the one and only movie that you need a pen and paper to take notes on. Like if we gave you a quiz to name ALL the characters, right now, could you do it??? Because we definitely can't.
If you haven't seen Love Actually. . . . It's like they took all the famous British people and a couple Americans and through them into a Christmas film. Also, in this episode, we summarize each storyline for you as best as we can. We may have gotten side tracked with B-character Carl. And that's our bad.
Join us as we rant on the Prime Minister's generic character name and dream of escaping to a French cottage for the holidays. There's a lot of movie so naturally we have a lot of thoughts. Like why are there so many office romances happening at Christmas time???
Lastly, we'd like to thank you DORCs for joining us on our Season 2 journey and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!!!

Y'all! We are one more episode away from our season 2 finale! GASP.
Carrying on with family ties, we're now bringing in Coni's sister Javi to join us for one of the greatest wedding romantic comedies to exist - My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
You're going to learn so much about Javi and Coni's childhood in an immigrant household and how this movie is triggering in every way.
Now the other crazy thing is, do we really believe Ian is the real deal?? No pushback at all with any of the wedding planning or family craziness? Perhaps he's too good to be true, even in rom-com standards. Either way, we will gladly take on oil-rubbing duties as his Godmother any day.
So grab your "boont" cakes and lamb, cause we're talking about all of our favorite moments in this episode!

Only a few more episodes left before our Season 2 finale and we're spending some quality time with family. But not just any relative - Marie's mom is so graciously joining us for a family DORC episode!
Fun fact! Marie's dad actually loves this movie and asked us to do it. However, he refused to actually talk about it with us. So Momma T is stepping in the podcast ring to help us dissect every ridiculous part of this 1981 movie.
Don't get it twisted though, Liza Minnelli is forever a gem and we only slightly judge her problematic sticky fingers.

As we wrap up our Rom-Coms 'Round The World, we're finishing up with an all time classic, Bridget Jones's Diary. On this episode we're talking with our favorite blokes and the only people we'll ever go to for Hugh news - Oscar and Diggory from Taking Hugh For Granted.
Just so everyone knows, Renée Zellweger should've won an Oscar for this role and THFG will die on this hill. I mean come on, she sounded more English than some English people! We couldn't imagine anyone else crushing this role - NO ONE.
That being said, Oscar and Diggory give us their best Texan accents and DORC is ready to ship them some ten gallon hats. But please, for the love of all that is good and wonderful, don't make Coni and Marie do British accents.
Marie learns what an "e-boy" is and Coni shares her Pride & Prejudice collection to the group. Even though Coni does enjoy a great Darcy, Colin Firth will never win the majority vote with this group.
You're going to want to listen to this episode, especially if you love bad boy Hugh.

It's a new episode today and that means Drunk On Rom-Coms is going full on Bollywood!!!
We have the lovely babes from Bollywood Besharams with us to talk about 2013's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. And if you're a newb to Bollywood movies like Marie & Coni, then you should definitely start with this one.
TBH, this is like a really long music video and you can't help but get excited for the next big number. Are things getting sad? Song. Is someone getting married? Song. Are we just having a normal conversation? Song.
Seema and Swas also educate us that the easiest way to find your protagonist is seeing who's got the magic wind blowing in their hair. You find the wind, you find your heroine. That's just how it works in the Bolly-verse. OH and if she starts out as a "nerd" with boring hair and glasses, you know she's about to have a classic rom-com GLOW UP with full volume locks and great vision.

If you love The Beatles and stories that don't make sense, then you're going to enjoy the journey that we go on with Bel and Fi from Flick Talk Podcast.
Sometimes the best parts of the movie are the meet cutes or grand gestures. Some of ours include the main character getting hit by the bus or when the movie was actually over. Also, some of the inanimate objects are pretty great too. There are a lot of feelings happening right now.
But anywho, Flick Talk and DORC try to figure out how an entire stadium of people could be so forgiving to a guy who openly admitted to stealing music from someone. And everyone's like, "we still love you!" Like, MMK. SURE. In this world, you definitely would've been cancelled and an angry mob would've jumped you by now.
As disappointing as some of the parts were, we all had an amazing time discussing coma theories, Ed Sheeran, and the lengths people will go in order to hunt someone down.

Did you know that romantic comedies and BDSM could exist in the same universe?? We didn't until the fabulous hosts Jessie and Helen of Asian Bitches Down Under introduced us to the 2022 Netflix film, Love and Leashes. The lighthearted story of a submissive man and his dominant mistress comes to life in this quirky, Korean rom-com.
We all agreed that there are hot men out there, like Ji Hoo, who have this magical power to look even more irresistible when they throw on some basic reading glasses. We don't make the rules here people. It's facts. HOWEVER, if he's also the kind of guy to sound like an injured puppy when he cries, we're docking some points.
The fact that this movie is so adorable and educational at the same time is truly incredible. Coni and Marie are used to more sexy scenes in rom-coms, but they made an exception for Love and Leashes since it embraced the taboo BDSM world and made it approachable to us newbies.
Check out other Asian Bitches Down Under episodes on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

We appreciate you all so much and hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did! Who knows, if people had a good time with it maybe we'll do some more???

We're continuing our journey around the world and today we're bringing you an amazing breakup movie from Peru called How To Get Over A Breakup. Technically, the correct title is Soltera Codiciada and that means Coveted Single. We don't understand why this is the way it is. Nosotras no sabemos!
This is definitely on our top movies to watch when you're getting over a breakup. We talk 5 Stages of Grief, the concept of clawfoot tubs, and the super power ex-boyfriends have of hitting you up right when you're starting to feel happy.
And not that we've done any scientific research or anything, but we're definitely convinced the world gets hornier and more vulnerable at night - and that's how mistakes are made. But if a hot man wants to carry you up some stairs cause he can't wait to rip off your clothes, you just go ahead and hop right into those arms.

Y'all don't even KNOW how excited we are for this next round of movies! We're going around the world to review some popular rom-coms from different countries. And today we're going to Spain and kicking things off with In Family I Trust (US Title). But the actual name of this movie is Gente Que Viene Y Bah (which actually translates to People Who Come And Go)
So in case that wasn't confusing enough for you, imagine watching it in Spanish and then having to translate your notes in English - cause that's what Coni had to do. But she's a talented gem so, easy peezy. lol
Anywho, come join us as we walk you through the ups and downs of this movie and discuss all the family dramas and men dramas and angry mob dramas. We touch on the importance of NOT introducing your partner to their Hall Pass person and why having sex midway through the movie is always the way to go.
