This week we were joined by the wonderful writer and editor Dan Schindel to talk about one of the most awkward, horny movies about politics, The American President.

Caroline is back! This week we're digging into an 80s romcom that was probably forgotten for a reason. But Demi Moore is perfect!

We're starting off season 7 of the pod with a new cohost, filmmaker and producer Caroline Conrad. And also, there's a movie. Michelle Williams is good in it at least.

To end the year, Kyle and Jourdain analyzed the religious implications of 2008's Fireproof and the misogyny of Kirk Cameron and the Kendrick brothers.Our suggestion for counter-programming is Chyna Robinson's No Ordinary Love.

[S3E47] Fireproof

Just in time for the most upsetting holiday of the year, Bronwyn and Jourdain decided to tackle their most-requested film: 2011's Something Borrowed. It's a romcom that hinges on the idea that blonde women oppress brunette women and that it's justifiable to steal a blonde woman's fiancé as reparations! Yes! Seriously! This is one of the few cases where we totally understand why everyone hates this movie. You guys were right.

[S2E5] Something Borrowed

We're just not that into this movie. Fun Fact: The moment we finished recording, I actually did throw up. The only good thing about 2009's evil demonic egg that is He's Just Not That Into You is that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston are good in tit. Everyone else is terrible.

We were overdue for a good one, right?

[S3E7] GOOD ROMANCE: Dirty Dancing

We made it to 50 episodes! Can you believe it?! And we're celebrating with the 2000 Nancy Meyers joint What Women Want, starring an awful man (Mel Gibson) and a woman who is way too good for him (Helen Hunt). Can you believe a gender-flipped version of this movie is currently being made? It is! It's called What Men Want, because apparently we're supposed to care about that?

Milly Tamarez

For our 100th episode, we subjected the hilarious Milly Tamarez (@MillyTamarez) to 2001's Shallow Hal, a movie that expects us to believe that Tony Robbins could ever be a feminist.

Here it is, the scariest film of the decade. The Test is a masterclass of terror, with a romance so unsettling that it may put you off men who wear yellow ties forever.

[S2E44] Just Friends

This week Kyle Kallgren subjected us all to 2009's The Time Traveler's Wife: a film that may lead us to instate an Eric Bana ban (haha) on the show. This is a worse marriage and birth story than Breaking Dawn, and everyone owes those movies an apology.

This week both Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman return to the pod for 1995's While You Were Sleeping, a romcom about falling in love with a guy's family. It's basically the opposite of The Family Stone, which comes out 10 years later. And we've done it on the pod! Anyway, this movie is harmless and bad in all the obvious ways. At least Bill Pullman is very, very sexy.

This week, Bronwyn, Jourdain, and Kyle take a very deep dive into John Hughes's Weird Science, gender and masculinity. It's a long one!

This week we tackled a new release: I Feel Pretty. I know our listeners probably expected us to hate it... but that's not actually the case. It's really naive and broad--but pure of heart. And we really appreciated that. The script is mediocre, but the performances are great. Michelle Williams BROUGHT IT. And the romance we discuss is actually... good and healthy? On this show?! It's wild times, truly.

This week, Jourdain and Kyle try to make sense of the 1998 remake to the Wim Wenders classic, Wings of Desire. It turns out, there's not much sense to be made of it.

This week we revisited an old favorite that didn't age well. It's 2002's Sweet Home Alabama, a romantic comedy that is... obsessed with the Confederacy and explosives.

We really, really wanted to like it.
