Episode 60 starts with pop culture highlights of the week and Ruby's thoughts on:

• Materialists (2025) with Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal
• America's Sweethearts (DCC) Season 2 on Netflix
• Love Island USA - this is Love Island, not Survivor!!!

This week's movie is Long Shot, a 2019 film starring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen as Charlotte, the Secretary of State campaigning for a Presidential nomination and Fred, her speechwriter as they fall in love during her campaign. This is an old-school romantic comedy that resonates in 2025 as the political landscape is not that different 6 years later and also has a pairing dynamic that also hits today. High-achieving "girl boss" types meet slob kebab men drinking tequila out of Ziploc bags? If that sounds like an encounter you've had, get in here.

The movie is currently streaming on Hulu as of 26-Jun-2025.

Summer is almost here, and the content is getting hotter!

Listen to Ruby discuss all current and upcoming highlights including:

• Materialists with Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal
• Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Reunion
• Summer House wrap-up
• Week 1 of Love Island USA Season 7
• The nightmare that is The Valley
• Miscellaneous travel tips for Summer 2025
• Highlights of other famous movies set in Vegas

This week's movie is What Happens in Vegas (2008) starring Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher, Lake Bell, and Rob Corddry. Jack and Joy are two opposites who meet in Vegas, drunkenly get married, win a jackpot, then have to stay married for 6 months in order to keep their winnings. It's one of the few romance movies that is actually a romantic comedy as competitive hijinks ensue as they try to get each other to divorce first so they can keep all the money. The writing by Dana Fox is unmatched, Lake and Rob are critical MVPs in the supporting best friend roles, and what ever happened to GOOD post credit montages? Not those puzzle clue Marvel moments that have ruined it all...

After a week off, Ruby is back with a new theme this month: Opposites Attract! The first film this month is A Lot Like Love, a 2005 film starring Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher. The movie is about 2 people who run into each other at different turning points in their lives, unable to get on the same page about getting into a relationship.

Prior to the movie review, there's a LOT of new content for summer to discuss:

• Overcompensating
• Carême
• Love Island USA Season 7 premiere
• Real Housewives of Miami Season 7 is back next week
• Rumor has it there's a Summer House shakeup coming this summer
• thoughts on this week's episode of The Valley
• announcement of Maxton Hall S2 in November

This episode is giving Carrie Bradshaw with many a fake-deep philosophical question: do opposites last in a relationship, do you believe in the right person but the wrong time, do we want to run into someone 4 times in 7 years before we get in a relationship? Ruby walks you through all the movie's "eras", ranking them and pointing out the best songs and fashions for each too. There are TONS of cameos, including a certain Duchess Meghan, the female lead has a strict 3-strike policy, and you won't believe what list this movie made (listen or skip to the end!).
