• Ep 52 - Irish Wish

    22 MAG 2024 · We're back! And so is Lindsay Lohan, continuing her Romcomnaissance with another Netflix holiday romcom. But this time the holiday is... St. Patrick's Day? Join us as we discuss "Irish Wish," covering such topics as the definition of "wish," cobblestone streets that look exactly unlike New York City, and the fact that movie writers never seem to understand how the world of publishing actually works.

  • Ep 51 - Exmas

    24 DIC 2023 · We're back, just in time for Christmas! New holiday romcoms were thin on the ground this year, but we managed to find the Freevee original "Exmas," starring Robbie Amell and Leighton Meester as ex-fiance(e)s who reunite. One of us watched the movie in 5-minute chunks with a toddler kicking them in the ribs, and the other of us watched it like a normal person watching a movie; can you guess which of us liked the movie more? Join us as we discuss terrible bangs, romcoms continuing to not understand how baking works, romcoms continuing to not understand how toilets work, and what happens when Buzzfeed makes a movie. (That's not a figure of speech. Buzzfeed literally made this movie.) Follow us on Twitter @rombombs Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by scottholmesmusic.com (Xmas remix by E)

  • Ep 50 - Love Again

    15 GIU 2023 · Holy moly, we've reached episode 50! To honor the occasion, we went out and actually PAID to see a movie in theaters. That movie is "Love Again," a fever dream of a romcom that will make you ask "did I hit my head and wake up in 1997, a year when it might actually make sense for everyone to be obsessing over Celine Dion?" Join us as we discuss such important topics as: -Sam Heughan's butt -Emotional support basketballs -Chekhov's journalist -Boy Meets World -Celine Dion, licensed OB/GYN Follow us on Twitter @rombombs Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by scottholmesmusic.com

  • Ep 49 - Ticket to Paradise

    13 MAR 2023 · In this episode, we discuss "Ticket to Paradise," the movie that reunites romcom mainstay Julia Roberts with a George Clooney who has gradually abandoned his suaveness and embraced his wackiness. We all love an enemies-to-lovers story, but can we love a lovers-to-enemies-back-to-lovers-again story? Maybe not? Join us as we discuss the world's most disappointing wardrobe, the real dangers of swimming with dolphins, Balinese(?) wedding traditions, Schrodinger's yoga pants, and the fact that the creators of this movie clearly did not understand how law school, art curation, or graduation ceremonies work.

  • Ep 48 - Christmas With You

    25 DIC 2022 · Ho ho ho! Meeeerry Christmas! What's that in your stocking? It's another holiday episode! In this one we talk about "Christmas With You," the incredibly generically-named Netflix original romcom that marks Freddie Prinze Jr.'s return to the screen. If you enjoyed "Marry Me" then you'll probably enjoy this one, since it's essentially a store-brand "Marry Me" with a slightly more plausible premise. Join us as we discuss FPJ's Just For Men hair, emotional support guitars, whether the Christmas song in this movie was written by an AI chatbot, and sensual tamale-making.

  • Ep 47 - Falling for Christmas

    3 DIC 2022 · It's holiday season, baby! And you know what that means: another Vanessa Hudg— (touches earpiece) Sorry, I'm being told that... this can't be right... Netflix didn't put out a Vanessa Hudgens Christmas romcom this year? Well, we'll just have to settle for "Falling for Christmas," the movie that marks Lindsay Lohan's return to the screen as well as millions of people learning for the first time that there's a guy named "Chord Overstreet." Join us as we run down the checklist of Christmas romcom clichés, consider the movie's threatening undercurrent, and talk about bidets a weird amount considering there are no bidets in this movie.

  • Ep 46 - Blast from the Past

    12 LUG 2022 · In this episode, we discuss "Blast from the Past," the classic 1999 "fish out of water" romcom that itself constitutes a blast from the past, but in case that wasn't enough, we actually recorded this episode a year ago and then E never got around to editing it, so the episode itself is a blast from the past! INCEPTION. Anyway, join us as we talk about the "born sexy yesterday" trope, proper Air Force bailing-out behavior, the disservice this movie does to Sissy Spacek, and, for some reason, Vanessa Hudgens, even though she is very much not in this movie.

  • Ep 45 - Moonshot

    27 GIU 2022 · In this episode, we tackle "Moonshot," a straight-to-streaming young adult romcom set *~*in the future*~* when humans live on Mars and yet nothing else has changed. Although we have surprisingly different opinions about this movie, we still manage to tackle lots of important issues, including: -Cole Sprouse's confusing career and tonsorial choices -Cat welfare -What the Big Bang looked like -Whether it's possible to enjoy a movie without realizing it Plus J introduces a great new party game: "What DIDN'T happen on Riverdale?"

  • Ep 44 - Marry Me

    20 APR 2022 · We're baa-ack! (Actually, we recorded this episode a while ago, and then E took an embarrassingly long time to finish editing it.) In this episode we talk about "Marry Me," the new social-media-infused heir to the golden age of romcoms (the late 1990s). Join us as we talk about JLo's seeming inability to age, Owen Wilson's hair, Central Illinois geography, and the logistics of marrying a stranger pulled out of a crowd.

  • Ep 43 - Single All the Way

    27 DIC 2021 · At last, we reach the end of the holiday season, and our final Netflix original romcom: "Single All the Way," a movie we both unironically enjoyed. Join us as we unpack what exactly makes this movie succeed where so many others have failed, engage in some light nitpicking, and go off on a bunch of tangents because we didn't have enough to complain about.
