“My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I *am* the President!” To wrap up our season 3, Frank returns to talk about the Aaron Sorkin penned film starring Michael Douglas and Annette Bening, The American President (1995). As a self-professed fan of Sorkin, this film has special importance to me. Prepare yourself for a lot of The West Wing references and callbacks. We talk about liberal fantasy, the chemistry between the two leads, and Frank talks about needing to be in a certain mood to appreciate this film’s idealism. What would you rate this movie on a scale from 1 to 10? TW: this episode was recorded before the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde. There are mentions of gun control throughout the episode.…

This week, my friend Whitney returns to dive into the Tom Hanks directed film, That Thing You Do! (1996). Catchy, wholesome, and plain fun, Whitney and I talk about this highly rewatchable movie from our pre-teen years. We talk about our love for The Wonders, share which member of the band we think we are, dive deep in the movie’s trivia, and realize that we both have a soft spot in our hearts for movies that we think have flown under the radar.…

We're back with season 3! To kick us off, Frank and I dive into Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson’s new film, Marry Me. This movie pleasantly surprised us both on many levels. I’m so happy JLo is back making rom-coms. Frank found many layers to this seemingly breezy rom-com and isn't afraid to claim that this is the best movie of 2022.…

To wrap up our season 2, my friend Jon S joins me to do our first redux of a film that’s been previously discussed on the pod, Crazy Rich Asians (2018). Jon thinks we (Frank and I) did a disservice in our initial conversation, so he’s here to set the record straight. We do a very deep dive and talk about the many layers this film has, from family dynamics, to the cultural impact this movie has, and to my continued desire to see more Asian American men sexualized on screen.…

We’re back with season two of Rom Com Weekly! To kick us off, my dear friends Jess and Viv join me to talk about the film, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005). While the film is not a rom-com in the traditional sense, I wanted to discuss a specific type of love, the deep bonds of friendship. We talk about our memories of being 16 and we wonder if friends who are so different can remain friends for life. And tune in to find out who among us is rooting for Lena and Kostas. (PS, please beware of spoilers about the general storyline of the complete series.)…

We say a bittersweet farewell to the always endearing Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky. We talk about how growing up is a hard journey and that making difficult decisions is a part of adulthood.

This week, my friend Justin returns to the podcast to talk about the Korean rom-com classic, My Sassy Girl (2001). Despite the toxic relationship between the main characters, we can't deny how much fun this movie is. We talk about chivalry vs sexism and cultural differences in romantic relationships. We wonder why this movie resonated with audiences so much and crossed over, to the point where there are multiple remakes of this original film.…

This week, my friend Monica returns to the podcast to talk about the Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor film, Down with Love (2003). We attempt to unpack the meaning behind the phrase 'down with love,' while longing for the glamorous era of NYC in the '60s. We talk about this being a fun rom-com with a surprising twist, and wonder if it's hard to root for characters who don't have many redeeming qualities.…

This week, my husband Frank returns to the podcast to chat about the Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany film, Wimbledon (2004). As Wimbledon in real life has begun, and with Frank being an avid tennis fan, we thought it'd be appropriate to revisit the only rom-com about tennis. Frank geeks out over tennis, we talk about superstitions and the internal dialogue athletes have in moments of pressure, and we wonder if a tennis rom-com is too niche for the general public to appreciate.…

This week, my friend Peter joins me to talk about the third and last Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler collaboration, Blended (2014). While Peter throws down for his love of this movie, I admit that this isn't a highly rewatched film for me. We talk about dad jokes, the heavy theme of family, and again, the brilliance that is Adam Sandler and how much his real life likability translates to his onscreen likability. PS, spoiler alert - our conversation mentions Minari here and there, so beware for spoilers (0:32).…

This week, my friend Howard joins me to talk about the second Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore collaboration, 50 First Dates (2004). It has a wildly unrealistic plot, but it's also incredibly charming, heartwarming, and sweet. Howard shares the big role Adam Sandler had in his youth, we talk about how Adam Sandler is really living the dream by playing basketball and working with his friends, and I share why Drew Barrymore wins this movie for me, with Sean Astin coming in as a very close second.…

This week, my friend Jon S returns to dive into the Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher film, No Strings Attached (2011). Since Jon and I previously talked about Friends With Benefits (2011), we felt it was necessary to revisit this movie as well. We each stand by the film that we respectively like, we take note that Natalie Portman essentially carries this movie and how stellar the supporting cast is, and we reminisce about mix CDs and the old days of printing out MapQuest directions.…

"As if!" This week, my friend Cat returns to the podcast to talk about the iconic '90s teen film, Clueless (1995). This movie is easily one of the most quotable and quintessential movies from our youth. Cat and I reminisce about how important this film was to our adolescence and how it helps us remember "the good old days." We bond over wanting to be Cher when we were pre-teens, and agree that this movie was ahead of its time in many ways. Now, almost 26 years later, we're back on the hunt for fluffy pens and black spaghetti strap tank tops to wear over our white t-shirts.…

"Break my heart into a thousand pieces, Covey." This week, my friend Valerie returns to the podcast to dive into the Netflix sequel, To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020). I admit it's hard to not be Team John Ambrose. We talk about time capsules and how the reconciliation between Lara Jean and Gen is a storyline I didn't realize I needed. Val and I fully lean into the tender and innocent characters in this trilogy and acknowledge that we miss seeing more of Peter Kavinsky on screen.…
