Since it’s Valentine’s time, Juniper decided it’d be nice to cover another classic Hollywood movie with a romantic theme. After watching “Now, Voyager”, Elle questioned whether Juniper had lost her marbles recommending this movie for the occasion. This is why we spend much of this pod delving into whether this film is truly fit for Valentine’s and how the psychology stuff came across.

(04:57) Is the story even appropriate for Valentine's?
(13:00) The psychology stuff - is it realistic and appropriate
