The Rom Complex

Our next Olsen sampling is 2001's Holiday in the Sun, which shows just how great it can be to fall in love on vacation and also get accused of smuggling antiquities. We also talk about hummingbirds, the killer movie soundtrack, and all the things Shelby would have done differently when writing this movie.

This week's Olsen twin feature is 2001's Winning London. We talk Disney-channel-style acting, holding children hostage, and embarrassing vomit memories that are actually quite sweet when you think about it.

Grab your hot water bottle and your credit card because we're taking you on a a world tour for Mary-Kate-and-Ashley March, starting with 1999's Passport to Paris. We talk boys, shopping, cool hip lingo, and whether or not you should let twelve-year-olds run loose in a strange city.

This episode is all about All About Steve (2009). We also touch on why Sandra Bullock should be brunette, whether or not you should get fired for stalker behavior, and the proper response to getting caught in a tornado.

The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996) imagines a world in which Janeane Garofolo isn't movie-star gorgeous. We discuss how much we're not on board with that! Other topics include babies cursing, romcom friendships, and who we'd send on a date in our place.

It's the month of lovers, so we're talking about love. Just like we do every month! This time, we're discussing 1997's Addicted to Love. Secondary topics include time loop manipulation, small-town astronomy, and seeing someone at their worst then still liking them.

For our 200th episode (can you even believe it??) we're discussing All About Eve (1950). Fasten your seat belts because we're talking about Bette Davis's eyes, ways to manipulate men, and why Sam is the funniest person of all time.

This week we revisit Shelby's original romcom pick, Serendipity (2001). We also discuss AI-generated headshots, missing signs from the universe, and John Cusack's character's horrendous actions throughout this movie.

As we approach our 200th episode, we're revisiting the movies we discussed in the very first episode of the The Rom Complex. First up is A Walk to Remember (2002). We chat about what makes us cry, the difference between a reverend and a preacher, and how nice it would be for someone to remember the things we say in passing. Things we say on a podcast, perhaps?

We're closing out the year with The Bishop's Wife (1947). We discuss angelic rizz, throwing things at kids, and why you gotta keep your wife happy. We're taking a short break, but will be back in the new year!
