This week, we electric slide into 13 Going on 30, starring Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, and, as an awesome sassy-mean friend, Judy Greer! We discuss bad grade-school haircuts, old friends, wishing dust, and Andy Serkis' expressive eyes. We also develop the genius idea of a Paul Simon Broadway travelog/stage show, and we dive into our listener mail. And apparently every knows the Thriller dance!

This week we sled into 2005's Christmas classic Just Friends, starring Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit with a retainer! We can all relate to going home for the holidays and reverting right back to our high school selves. But somehow, Sarah uncovers a whole host of stories in which she was the high school heartbreaker. Do girls get friend-zoned? Can you age out of the friend zone? Do you call pants "trousers"? We cover these important questions and more this week!

Welcome to our first Christmas rom-com! We sleighride into Nancy Meyers' world of whimsy and fantasy on this week's episode. And we get two rom-coms in one with a double romance situation, tackling things like: is Jude Law hot? whose house is nicer? and who has the best acting chops in this film? We also play "Oh, Dern It," and Sarah eats while recording (again).

This week we are hot off the presses. Recorded last night and brought you to today! We tried to find a Thanksgiving rom-com, and we kind of did? This movie unleashes a lot of truth bombs about family and memory, but it loses itself in the romance area. Who is Leo Fish? How high was Robert Downey Jr. during the filming? Why couldn't (director) Jodie Foster stick to one theme? All good questions. All mostly unanswered. But it sure does nail the holidays.

This week, we jump on the Netflix rom-com bandwagon and check out this cute high school story of a girl with lots of crushes and not a lot else. Lana Condor and Noah Centineo sizzle as unlikely partners in a situation only a rom-com could pull off. This movie really gets us to tap into our high school memories, for better or worse. We also discuss Asian yogurt drinks, Benny the Jet from Sandlot, and John Corbett!

Starring Mike Myers and Nancy Travis, this classic tale of love and murder may come in slightly late for Halloween, but who's counting? This week we discuss Justin being born 10 years too late for his perfect era, how we can find an artsy person to join our friend group, and whether a butcher shop is a safe place for a meet cute. Please, just watch this movie. It's so good!

Starring Christina Ricci, Bill Pullman, and Devon Sawa(!), Casper is our first kid rom-com, and it has a special place in Sarah's heart. But is it a rom-com? And who exactly is Lazarus? And why is Casper so round? All questions we hash out in this delightful, yet surprisingly dark, film. Devon Sawa!

Starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, this adventure rom-com is sure to delight with its incredibly light-hearted tone and undeniable chemistry between the leads. Justin talks scuba diving, Sarah talks lake life, and we find true insight in the unlikeliest place. You'll be hard pressed to find a more fun, no-consequences movie.

This week, we wade around in the never-ending nightmare that is Punxatawney, PA with Bill Murray and Sarah’s dad Pat as special guest! This may not seem like a typical rom-com, but Justin makes a strong case. Sarah gets pretty deeply into the philosophical themes of this movie, Pat does his Dean Martin impression, and we discuss Justin’s chances at a bachelor auction (spoiler: not great).
