This week, my brother Michael returns to the podcast to dive into Vanessa Hudgens’ Netflix holiday rom-com, The Princess Switch (2018).

We talk about how nonsensical but fun this film is, Michael shares his deep love for Vanessa Hudgens, I have a bone to pick with mistletoe in films, and we talk about what defines a holiday classic.

This week, my friend Valerie returns to the podcast to rewatch and dive into the holiday classic, The Family Stone (2005).

This week, Frank returns to the podcast to talk about one of the latest Netflix holiday rom-coms, Love Hard (2021).

We talk about unrealistic expectations and the emotional challenges that come with just trying to be yourself. Frank relates to some of the struggles of being an Asian American man dating online, and I ask the important question, "is Die Hard a holiday movie?"

This week, my friend Whitney joins me to talk about the Bonnie Hunt directed film, starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver, Return to Me (2000).

We bond over how much we love this feel-good and wholesome movie, Whitney throws down for her love for David Duchovny, and we wonder why this film has flown under the radar for so long.

This week, my friend Ming is back on the podcast to talk about the second highest grossing rom-com of all time, What Women Want (2000).

We wonder if we would want to have the super power of hearing what other people think, we agree that Mel Gibson surprised us in this role, and we genuinely wonder why this movie did so well at the box office 20 plus years ago.

We’re back with season two of Rom Com Weekly!

To kick us off, my dear friends Jess and Viv join me to talk about the film, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005).

While the film is not a rom-com in the traditional sense, I wanted to discuss a specific type of love, the deep bonds of friendship. We talk about our memories of being 16 and we wonder if friends who are so different can remain friends for life. And tune in to find out who among us is rooting for Lena and Kostas.  

(PS, please beware of spoilers about the general storyline of the complete series.)

Hi friends! Hopping on here to share a brief update with you all. 

I'd love to hear from you - whether it be suggestions on how I can improve the podcast, movie suggestions, or if you just wanna drop a line. DM me on Instagram at @romcomweekly, or email me at [email protected]. 

Thanks so much for tuning in for 52 episodes! I'll talk to you all soon. 

This week, my friend Val returns to the podcast to talk about the final installment of the Netflix film series, To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021).

We say a bittersweet farewell to the always endearing Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky. We talk about how growing up is a hard journey and that making difficult decisions is a part of adulthood. We dive into the portrayal of NYC in this film, what LJ and PK's future holds, and I double down on my love for the character of Lara Jean.

This week, my friend Justin returns to the podcast to talk about the Korean rom-com classic, My Sassy Girl (2001).

Despite the toxic relationship between the main characters, we can't deny how much fun this movie is. We talk about chivalry vs sexism and cultural differences in romantic relationships. We wonder why this movie resonated with audiences so much and crossed over, to the point where there are multiple remakes of this original film.

This week, my friend Monica returns to the podcast to talk about the Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor film, Down with Love (2003).

We attempt to unpack the meaning behind the phrase 'down with love,' while longing for the glamorous era of NYC in the '60s. We talk about this being a fun rom-com with a surprising twist, and wonder if it's hard to root for characters who don't have many redeeming qualities.
