Starring Cupid

This week we're only just friends with Sally Albright and Harry Burns, from When Sally Met Harry. Sorry, from When Harry Met Sally. Find out why this is Zama's no. 1 rom com, how this pair just wasn't seeing it, and why movie love has to be a long game. We push this narrative further in this week's best friends to lovers battle of Who's Your Fave. Thank you for a wonderful season 2. Follow us on Twitter @ StarringCupid for updates and more.

This week we're making money moves and raving about the ladies from Netflix's Good Girls. We're looking at Beth & Dean, Ruby & Stan, and Annie & Greg. Friends of the show, Thando and Zolile, join us in the SC studio to help Zama get through it. Find out why we dislike Dean, why Ruby struck gold with Stan, and why Annie deserves way better options. We turn this discussion into this week's Who's Your Fave battle.

This week we're trying to eliminate our spouse alongside Jane and John, from Mr & Mrs Smith.

I don’t care for this man anymore. I hope they tighten his cuffs every time he makes a court appearance.

This week we're taking a carpet ride to a whole new world with Princess Jasmine and Aladdin, from Disney's Aladdin. We tackle the debate of live actions vs original stories with this classic couple.

Make sure to vote on our Twitter poll and let us know how you feel about live actions.

This week we're being "friends" and talking about Kena and Ziki, from Rafiki.

Instead, we focus on other African LGBTQ+ projects. Follow us @ StarringCupid on Twitter for more.
