It’s our pilot episode! We’re starting strong with #42 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time - Red, White & Royal Blue. In this episode, Nora has (and will continue to have) a LOT of feelings, and Jack trots out his (famously high-quality) Texan accent at every opportunity. Grab a box of Jaffa cakes, hop on your private jet, and let’s flip Texas!

Topics include:

• Whether a smashed cake constitutes a diplomatic catastrophe
• Batman & Robin (1997)
• The romcom pedigree of “Get Low” (Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz)

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Alex being convinced he’s working class for some reason??
• The Electoral College
