The Rom Complex

We're off on a new adventure for November, and it's going to be full of action. First up is Romancing the Stone (1984). Spoiler Warning: We discuss Your Monster (2024) during the episode. We also talk the power of stories, the rewards of patience, and the complexities of Instant Pots.

Gear up for SPOILERS because we're celebrating Halloween with the brand new film Your Monster (2024). We also discuss our favorite monsters, harnessing your inner rage, and Broadway HR policies.

Remember the 80's? Haha, neither do I. I wasn't alive! Know who else isn't alive? A few teens from Heathers (1988). We talk the movie, the musical, and the terrors of high school.

Flip open your IMDB notebooks because we're hitting you with trivia from this year's Lisa Frankenstein (2024). Spoiler: it has absolutely nothing to do with Lisa Frank in any way.

Nicole Jakus (aka DarlingHomebody) joins us to kick off spooky month with the scariest settings of all: a high school. 2020's Spontaneous is full of snappy banter, young love, and blood. Lots of it.

We're ending silly September with a hit: 1999's Simply Irresistible. There's a magic crab. You can see the strings. Don't question it too much!

This week's silly watch is 2014's They Came Together, a briskly absurd 83-minute rom-com parody. I SWEAR neither of the hosts hated this film.

The year is 2000, the pop music slaps, and What Women Want is in theaters. We discuss the parts of this movie that stuck with us from way back then (boobs) as well as our newer insights, like agreeing with the dad on his opinion of the teen boyfriend.

We missed you on our week off, but now we're back with those antics you love for Silly September! Kicking us off is 2001's Kate & Leopold, a movie that forces us to ask how time travel works and also why Hugh Jackman isn't doing romcoms anymore.

Our last stop in our summer travels is Monte Carlo (2011). Along the way, we discuss identity fraud, group tours, and conflict avoidance. It's good to be home!
