Today, Rachel and Aviv are discussing the iconic needle drop, "Miracles Happen" by Myra, from the 2001 classic, The Princess Diaries. Despite being such a catchy and memorable song, it's a bit mysterious why Myra's career didn't take off more. Nowadays, the song and sound bites from the film, especially those featuring Anne Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis and Julie Andrews as Queen Clarisse, are used on TikTok in videos about the death of millennial dreams. Skinny jeans-wearing millennials are facing the harsh reality that sometimes, miracles don't happen.

The 2023 rom-com, Anyone But You, starring the equally gorgeous Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, received lukewarm reviews. But don't write it off just yet—some of the funniest scenes feature "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield, giving us major "Easy A" vibes. To help Rachel and Aviv figure out what makes a great rom-com, they invited Nora Ephron expert Ilana Kaplan. They conclude that most great rom-coms need unrealistically attractive actors, a catchy title, memorable needle drops, and a plot based on Shakespeare's works. Check out Ilana's book here: Nora Ephron at the Movies.
