We're at the beach with Jack and Diane as we look at the romance of Nancy Meyers's 2003 smash rom com Something's Gotta Give!

Join in as we discuss thinly-veiled adaptations of real life, the film's examination of Jack Nicholson, and the weird lack of Frances McDormand.

Plus: How long has Julian (Keanu Reeves) been tracking down productions of Erica's (Diane Keaton) plays? Why didn't Harry's employees ever show up again? And did Nancy watch the Matrix sequels?
