On this episode, Marcel brings us a rom-com classic (it's black and white!) The Apartment (1960). We talk about Films (with a capital F), ruining movies for ourselves, and we ask the important question ... do you love me?

It's week two of the new podcast, and we're getting stuck into a new type of rom-com - books! Jess is joined by Eleanor Stankiewicz to talk about their shared love of Emily Henry books, but also about imdb, being women of a certain age, and the sheer volume of voice notes they send to each other.

Welcome to a brand new podcast! For our first episode, Jess Perkins is joined by comedian Rhys Nicholson to discuss one of Rhys' favourite rom-coms, Groundhog Day. We also talk about what we would get up to in a timeloop situation, and to no one's surprise, it descends into chaos almost immediately.
