Jack and Nora are joined by comedian and romcom scholar Sarah Bradley to discuss #10 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: What’s Up, Doc?. In this episode, Nora is the personality hire, Jack gives his best Porky Pig, and Sarah lays out a framework for male attractiveness. Pop some aspirin, secure your plaid bag, and let’s drape ourselves over a piano!

Topics include:

• Madeline Kahn (an icon)
• Love Story (1970)
• Filming regulations in San Francisco

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:

• Why isn’t everyone Team Eunice?!
• How did Judy get that towel to stay up?
