This week, we fire one up and revisitThe Ugly Truth, the 2009 rom-com where Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl go head-to-head in the battle of romance vs. brutal honesty. Does it still land in 2025, or does it feel like a relic of the 2000s? And more importantly—does watching it stoned make it even better? We break down the best moments, the wildest lines, and, of course,that underwear scene. Joining us is our unofficial third co-host, musical guru, and podcast regular Vince Sasso—here to break down the film’s place in rom-com history. Roll one, grab some snacks, and let’s get into it.
