Listen Later

Jack and Nora are joined by Rachael Joyce and Will Anderson, the meme-making power couple behind “The Theater Lovers” to discuss #22 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Moonstruck. In this episode, Jack explains the rules of curses, Rachel finds kinship with Bobo the career server, Will shares his deeply-held philosophy on Nicolas Cage, and Nora wants everyone to know that she is ¼ Italian. Hang on to your hand/ bride/ pack of dogs, do NOT order the oily fish, and let’s go to the opera!


Topics include:

  • The magic of the moon
  • Cher’s hair
  • “American cheating”

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

  • When did Loretta take the Lord’s name in vain (twice)?
