Jack and Nora are joined by animator Hannah Roza Fisher and musical theatre writer Helen Arney to discuss #26 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Enchanted. In this episode, Jack gets creative with pronunciations, Helen is secretly a Disney executive, and Hannah and Nora are co-CEOs of the James Marsden Fan Club. Push up your poofy sleeves, summon a flock of pigeons, and let’s sing a happy little working song!

Topics include:

• How animation and musicals (and animated musicals) fit into the world of romcoms
• Where the one f-bomb should go in this family-friendly film
• Patrick Dempsey’s hair

–

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Why is Pip from the Bronx?
• Has anyone ever given a better performance than James Marsden as Prince Edward?
• Are lips the only thing that touch?
