HEALL Yeah!

Ring the alarm! It's a Fire...Island. Teehee. Join Nana and Misan this week where we somehow keep it brief, but dig deep, in our discussion of Fire Island*--the summer romcom we hadn't known we needed. PS: We continue to stan the Divine Miss Austen.

*Available on Hulu

Join Nana and Misan as we discuss our on-the-nose choice for this episode: The Obvious Child*. This week we rant about bad standup, gush over nice-guy Jake Lacy, and process our country's ongoing theocracy-chic makeover montage. Also, Gone with the Wind catches a stray. #sorrynotsorry. 

*Available on Showtime.

Back at it again with our indie rom-com fascination, we're talking about Sleeping With Other People (the 2015 film starring Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis and written by Leslye Headland*) this week. We also might have maxed out on the number of tangents ever covered in a podcast episode, including why one of us loves Jake Johnson (spoiler alert, it's Nana) and one of us might not love Anne Hathaway (spoiler alert, it's also Nana). 

*Not Headlander like Misan says in the episode. Sorry, Leslye! 

Rent Sleeping With Other People on Amazon Prime or wherever else you rent movies these days.

We just can't quit wedding romcoms. Join Nana and Misan this week as we discuss Four Weddings and a Funeral,* thunderbolts, and body counts. We also go on a very long tangent about a very British scandal. Where are the Polaroids?

This week, Misan and Nana cover two 90's obsessions: figure skating and Julia Roberts. They also inexplicably end up talking about Bridgerton again. Listen as they discuss how The Cutting Edge* gives you exactly what you need in a sports rom-com with montages and toe picks along the way.

This our first Black Rom Com Canon movie, and it's oh so sweet! This week Misan and Nana discuss Brown Sugar* and explore our complicated relationship with hip-hop, make a plea for our Black Cards, and call for justice for materialistic, bougie Black lawyer ladies (as totally disinterested parties, of course). Plus, we debate the age-old question: Goofy Guys vs. Arrogant Guys. 

*Watch Brown Sugar on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B008GJUSZO/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r

Note: We are stuck in the early 2000s, so we persistently used a certain rapper's former stage name. Sincerest apologies.

It's the moment you've been waiting for. That's right, Season Two! We're back. For real, this time. In the season opener, Misan and Nana marvel at kids resembling their parents (looking at you, Jack Quaid), dissect wedding culture, and query what it means to find "The One" courtesy of indie rom-com, Plus One. In keeping with the Season Two theme, they also give their reactions on the second seasons of Starstruck and Bridgerton and inadvertently turn the last segment into an extended Bridgerton mini episode. Two episodes* for the price of one! You're welcome.
