In this fun and thoughtful Where Do We Go From Here? conversation, Jessica and Devi revisit one of their favourite RomCom Recap episodes from Patreon — a deep dive into the Netflix hit Nobody Wants This, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.
They explore why this show hit such a cultural nerve, how it portrays the complexity of love between two people from different faiths, and what it teaches us about emotional honesty, boundaries, and belonging.
From the "hot rabbi" to the spiral-inducing unanswered text, Jessica and Devi unpack how Nobody Wants This manages to make relationships feel real — messy, beautiful, and worth fighting for.
If you've ever wondered what healthy love looks like after religious conditioning or purity culture, this one's for you.
In this episode:
Why Nobody Wants This resonates so deeply with modern audiences
How pop culture is reimagining "good men" through characters like Noah
The parallels between religious devotion and emotional integrity
Why our culture is hungry for models of honest, emotionally mature relationships
The power of female introspection in romcom storytelling
Mentioned in this episode:
