Join Jess Sterling and Stuart Traynor as they kick off Season 1 of You Had Me At Podcast with a dive into the 1989 classic Say Anything. They revisit Lloyd Dobler’s graduation limbo, Diane Court’s overwhelming expectations, and the now-infamous boombox moment. They talk parental interference, learning to drive stick, uncomfortable breakup etiquette, and whether “Are you here because you need someone or because you need me?” actually lands or just leaves a bad taste.

They also discuss Cameron Crowe’s directorial debut, the real-life history between Ione Skye and John Cusack, and how this movie has shaped grand gesture romance for decades. Finally, they rate the meet-cute, decide where this couple sits on the soulmate scale, and score the film in Best in Show(mance).
