This episode starts March off in full force, starting with a quick reality TV catch up on Southern Hospitality, Summer House and the Traitors.

This week's movie is possibly Rachel McAdam's most famous (along with Mean Girls): The Notebook (13:00). Think back 20 years to a movie that defined monoculture for the early 2000s. Ruby discusses why it's such an enduring film, what a pair of wildlings young Noah and Allie were, and shares the list of all-time highest grossing romantic dramas.

Finally, it's the most wonderful time of the year: Man Crush Madness (47:00)! In its second year, the bracket is much wilder with 4 prominent categories: men of 2024/2025, rookies to the bracket, classic leading men, and favorite imports. There's someone for everyone and there are some unexpected choices. Josh comes back to the pod as Ruby's co-commissioner to make Final 4 predictions, possible dark horses, and the most shocking contenders.

Next, the episode centers on the hit Netflix show Nobody Wants This starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, produced by Erin Foster & Sara Foster.
