    Starring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman, not to mention Peter Gallagher, this episode is from long ago and we somehow forgot to upload it. And best of all, it stars our friend Laura! We talk Christmas trees, Christmas ruses, and Chicago. We miss you, Laura!

    Ep. 63 -- Silver Linings Playbook

    Ep. 63 -- Silver Linings Playbook

    There is a reason J. Law won the Oscar for this movie and it was nominated in every acting category. It's so good! The most recent great romcom? Perhaps! We also discuss running, dancing, and thank you notes. Justin, shockingly, saves them for a bad day.

    Ep. 61 -- Sideways

    It’s been a loooong time since we recorded this episode, so I can’t remember really anything we talked about. But according to Justin’s notes, we talked a lot about wine! Big surprise!

    We really need to get back to recording…

    Ep. 60 -- Easy A

    Ep. 60 -- Easy A

    This week we cover Easy A, starring Emma Stone and Amanda Bynes—one in her first starring role and the other in her last movie role ever.
    We have special guest and Youth Correspondent Olivia on to help us decipher all of this youth culture, even for a movie from when we were the youths.
    We can all agree that Stanely Tucci and Patricia Clarkson are amazing, and we with they were our parents. Also considered: Peter Malone is the new secret (even to him) identity of Post Malone; boots should be allowed in school bc they can fit extra-long tampons; Sarah has met many famous people; and what does this movie say about female empowerment?
    All that and more, so tune in.

    Ep. 59 -- Say Anything

    Ep. 59 -- Say Anything

    Starring John Cusack and Ione Skye, this true 80s classic holds up as one of the strangest combinations of a romcom and a father-daughter relationship tested by a daughter growing up and a father going to prison. We discuss the needle John Mahoney threaded there, and we dive into whether to tell your parents you lost your virginity, the required weirdness of driving instructors, and Justin’s semi-retired life. Plus, a giant boombox.

iloveromcomcom.com, am I right?!

I have embarrassing laughed out loud at work many a time, and it is worth it. It’s like listening to your besties talk about your favorite movies. Big, big fan.

Love

My mom is Sarah so I am always behind the scenes and it is so much fun! I even sometimes get to watch the movies with them! And yes, Justin is over at our house almost every night. I actually “married” him when I was five. He is almost like my second dad. I have seen this podcast grow so much and I am so glad people like it.

Love Love Love

Sarah and Justin provide such great discussions for excellent rom-coms. I love how they discuss the aspects of the movie and how they rate it on a rom-com scale and the check marks they tick off. And most especially I enjoy hearing discussions pertaining to the plot and stories in how they relate to their own lives or how they’d feel in a particular situation. I love romantic comedies so much, they’re my favorite next horror movies (i know, totally opposites haha) so I’m glad I typed “romantic comedies” in the Apple Podcast search and this came up.
