  • Ep. 45 -- Last Christmas

    Yes, it's another Christmas movie. Yes, it's late January. But Christmas is a state of mind, and this one is worth the wait. With our special guest Laura, we try (once again) to figure out ghost logic, organ donating, the streets of London, Christmas-themed nicknames, and a big old talent-show ending. This really has it all (including homemade marshmallows). It may not be in theaters anymore, but Last Christmas should be first on your list at Redbox.

  • Ep. 44 -- The Family Stone

    This week, we are covering yet another family rom-com-dram with a huge cast full of big talent. Did they use all that talent to good end? Sarah breaks down the four crazy plot points of this movie and makes Justin decide which is most improbable. Rachel McAdams is so sassy, SJP plays difficult so good, and the deaf brother is also gay! This movie has a great grip on the messiness of family and holidays with a good dose of cancer and morbidity. Get ready for Christmas!

  • Ep. 43 -- The Spirit of Christmas

    In this Lifetime movies from 2015, we meet Kate, the workaholic lawyer, and Daniel, the disgruntled ghost who becomes a real man for only 12 days a year. Mystery, death, bootlegging, and Christmas parties ensue. Can Kate and Daniel make love work across 100 years (and despite the face that he's married and dead...)? It's Christmas after all.

  • Ep. 42 — About Time

    On this Thanksgiving weekend, we celebrate a movie that starts as a romcom and becomes so much more. A family romdramedy with a heart of gold, this one is a keeper. And it’s written by the UK’s version of Nora Ephron, Richard Curtis. Except, why are Rachel McAdams’ bangs so bad? Why, Richard??

  • Ep. 41 -- Sleeping with Other People

    Starring Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis, this little ditty explores the Harry Met Sally question of whether men and women can be friends. We explore our own friendship as well as those we've had with other members of the opposite sex; we discuss dudes that get under our skin; and we wonder if tequila is still something we need in our lives. Write in to tell us your tequila and friendship stories! Can women and men really be just friends? Does Justin have a chance in hell with Alison Brie?

  • Ep. 40 -- Autumn in New York

    Starring Richard Gere and Winona Ryder, this wild ride obviously takes place in New York... in autumn. We had the brilliant idea to watch a fall movie in the fall, but boy, we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into.

    Questions: What exactly does Winona do for a living? Who has time to have sex on a roof? Is fall the dumbest season?

    We prefect our "yes and" banter on this one and try to entertain ourselves as best we can with this pre-9/11 romance from a more innocent time.

  • Ep. 39 -- It's Complicated

    This week, we tackle It’s Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and Steve Martin. Classic Nancy Meyers—the set design is so insanely beautiful it’s like a dream. But the plot is, shall we say “complicated”? And Alec Baldwin may be the only man in the world who can carry such a creepy role (and he’s still pretty creepy). Does Meryl belong in rom-com-ville or in comedy at all for that matter? Does Joh Krasinski steal the show? Also, where are all the black people? We’ll get to those questions and more in this episode!

    This week, we hope we hit it out of the park with Fever Pitch starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. We discuss idiosyncrasies of dads, bringing a laptop to a sporting event, and what does Drew Barrymore’s character do anyway? It’s the second half of baseball season, folks, and it’s getting real. Can they make it to the postseason?

  • Ep. 37 -- Always Be My Maybe

    This week, we bring you the Netflix movie Always Be My Maybe, starring Ali Wong and Randall Park and set mostly in lovely San Fransisco.

    We cover things like: divorce parties, herb scissors (very sharp!), D'angelo lyrics, and a big epiphany about Keanu Reeves. This was a fun one. Bounce back like a tennis ball!

    1 hr 13 min
  • Ep. 36 -- The Wedding Planner

    This week, we are back from a brief summer hiatus to bring you the delightful wedding rom-com The Wedding Planner. Young McConnaughey, sassy JLo, weddings, dancing, emotional honesty—does it get any better?

    We ask important questions like: Can JLo play Italian? Are brown M&Ms worth it? and Is Eddie a secret dirtbag? We also tackle topics like surprise dates, jet skiing in Ohio, romantic missed connections.
