In episode 3 of Some Like It Scary, we chat about fate, spectacles, and if there's such a thing as a bad miracle. Join us as we go on a wild goose chase for love with romcom Serendipity (2001) and try not to look at the sky with sci-fi thriller NOPE (2022). Grab a cowboy hat and a copy of Love in the Time of Cholera!
Note:
We changed the podcast title after the 4th episode so you'll notice the old title is still in this, but it's now Some Like It Scary. (We changed after learning the first name was already in use)

What's a man? Do you like cheese? We tackle these important questions and more in episode 2 of I'll Show You Mine. Join us while we discuss the Shakespearean romantic comedy of our youth "She's the Man" (2006) and the unsettling sausage fest "Men" (2022). FYI: This is a spoilers podcast! You have been warned!
Note:
Our podcast name changed after our first few episodes - we say the old name in this episode, but upon learning another podcast had that name we've changed! <3

In "Some Like It Scary," two best friends chat romcoms, horror movies, and the tropes of both! Each episode, Olivia (she/they) and Kelly (they/them) chat about either a romantic comedy or horror…
Current format: We group a romcom and horror movie together by a similar theme, which will be two episodes (one for the horror movie, one for the romcom) released two weeks apart. We'll do standalone bonus episodes occasionally on whatever we want!
