November 16, 2022 Bean Burritos and the Hetero Agenda (Straight Up)
Chelsea steers the pod into uncharted waters as cohost Madison steps back from the helm and the duo embarks on their first reverse episode! The show's resident cynic brings 2019's Straight Up into the ring, but can her unconventional pick hold its own against the rom-com canon's heavy hitters? Madison has a brief crisis about not vetting this week's sponsor; Chelsea theorizes about the impending When Harry Met Sally calamity; and together, they'll decide if this heartwarming, queer love story has what it takes to go the rom-com distance.

November 09, 2022 Star Crossed Lovers and a Jilted Other (Rosaline)
Chelsea and Madison apologize profusely to the listener that recommended they watch Rosaline (2022). The film had plenty of potential to squander and our hosts sighed their way through their commentary. Madison discusses the issues with beating old material into the ground. Chelsea explores the pitfalls of not taking more creative risks. They rewrite the entire plot of the movie and make it much more enjoyable. Moral of the story, recommenders beware.

November 02, 2022 A Plot Only Southerners Could Love? (Sweet Home Alabama)
Opinions clash in the recording studio this week as co-hosts Chelsea and Madison dig into Sweet Home Alabama (2002). Is this Hallmark-esque Reese Witherspoon flick really as sweet as tea in the South? Come along for the ride as they detour into Madison’s family gossip, bovine facts and figures, and a decades-long mystery regarding anvils. But at the very least, if nothing else comes of the conversation ahead, Chelsea hopes you Google dairy.
