Episode 4: Wedding Movies — Hits, Misses, and Surprises

Welcome back to Do You Even Binge? — the show where Felipe and Lesa deep dive into what we’re watching and what’s worth skipping. This week, we say “I do” to wedding movies… but not all of them should’ve made it down the aisle.

📅 On This Day in TV/Movie History:

Leonard Maltin’s first-ever appearance on Entertainment Tonight! Plus, a look back at his incredible legacy, from publishing his first film review book at just 17 to how IMDb changed the game forever. We share our own personal connections to his work and why he still matters.

💍 This Week’s Topic: Wedding Movies

In honor of AAPI Month, we tried some lesser-known Asian wedding films:

• The Wedding Banquet (2025 Remake) — Quiet, slow, and… Bowen Yang gets someone pregnant?
• Wedding Palace — A wild mix of K-pop and family curses.

👰‍♀️ Our Picks for Actually-Good Wedding Movies:

• Crazy Rich Asians — Stunning, emotional, and yes, the ultimate wedding scene.
• Jumping the Broom — Celebrating Black traditions with comedy and love.
• Muriel’s Wedding — Toni Collette + ABBA = chaotic Aussie goodness.
• The Hangover — Not a wedding movie exactly, but the ultimate wedding chaos story.
• Wedding Crashers — Bradley Cooper as “Sack Lodge” and a hilarious Will Ferrell cameo.
• The Wedding Singer — Peak ‘90s nostalgia and classic Sandler charm.
