The Rom Complex

We're still not asleep for 2022's Stay the Night, a movie NOT based off a hockey romance novel. We also discuss character growth, Canadian careers, and what in life is worth chasing after.

We're joined in our late night discussion of Sleepless in Seattle (1993) by Jenn Scott. We compliment Meg Ryan, forgive some light stalking, and wonder how airports could ever have been so easy to get around.

We're up all night watching a classic, Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995). We discuss young romance, how time changes viewpoints, and the European railway system.

Eagle-eared listeners of the show know how Sam feels about Dylan O'Brien, so you might have guessed our next watch would be Love and Monsters (2020). We also discuss unprecedented times, epic love quests, and better uses for the infinity stones.

We're joined by the hosts of the podcast Femmes Reading Filth to discuss the absolutely filthy flick The Princess Bride (1987). There's all this gross stuff like clever wordplay and a sick kid, ew! We also chat about true love, scary movies, and more. Follow our guests @FemmesReadingFilth

Fantasy month continues with Beastly (2011), a loose Beauty and the Beast retelling that could have benefited from about ten times the camp. We also talk dolphin lifespans, attempts at being evil, and another character that's not as ugly as the movie wants us to think.

Mmm mm mm Shelby is eating well this month because we're focusing on Fantasy, starting with 2006's Penelope. We talk about overvaluing appearances, storybook bedrooms, and how easily we'd kiss the main character of the movie.

Beautiful Disaster (2023) is... I'm having trouble figuring out how to describe this movie to you. We discuss the disjointed plot, the New Adult genre, and how much fun Dylan Sprouse is having.

Please join us as we cry our eyes out to 2017's Kodachrome. Please join us as we also thirst over sad Jason Sudeikis. Sorry, we like him better as a dirtbag!

We are joined by our friend Torry from Ready to Be Petty AND Ready to Be Romanced (she's busy!!) to discuss 2003's What a Girl Wants starring an angelic young Amanda Bynes. We also chat about addictive content, good dads, and the definition of a kebab.
