Romcomathon

In which Colin Firth's ghost and Hugh Grant's filmography take center stage. Also, for the curious and/or pedantic: - This movie's opening did not, in fact, beat Barbie's at the UK box office. But it did beat Oppenheimer, the new Captain America (no surprise there), and (of course) previous romcom box office records set by earlier Bridget Jones movies. - Kat's assertions about which book plot most...

In which we celebrate our 50th episode and Valentine's Day with our favorite romantic comedy! Also, please note that we wondered aloud in this episode whether any of Neil Simon's many plays had been adapted to film... I mean, surely, right?? And indeed, upon looking it up later later, we realized (unsurprisingly) that Neil Simon has so many famous works that we did not even know he wrote some of t...

In which Kat and Alex, shockingly, enjoyed a film! A Netflix Christmas miracle! Alex claims in this episode that Philemon Chambers and Michael Urie were actually classmates at Julliard, but that was incorrect (damn you, Wikipedia!). It was actually Luke Macfarlane and Michael Urie who overlapped at Julliard. Happy holidays, Romcomathon listeners! You can listen to our friend and podcast mentor Qui...

In which Alex foolishly tries to apply logic to the choices of the Hudgenses, Kat wonders how much space is left in Europe if Netflix keeps adding countries, and we both share Vanessa Hudgens #1's skepticism that Vanessa Hudgens #3 deserves a full pardon for KIDNAPPING... Happy (American) Thanksgiving, Romcomathoners! You can listen to our friend and podcast mentor Quincy Surasmith’s podcast, Asia...

In which Alex made Kat watch Gigli, which is maybe the worst thing she's ever done in the course of their friendship. TW: This episode does discuss an act of self-harm that occurs as part of the storyline in the film. Though it's not discussed for long, we do refer to the incident more than once.

In which Kat and Alex long for the Emmy-award winning acting on the CW. Also, Kat discovered after we recorded this episode that the screenwriter for the original She's All That is the same screenwriter for He's All That! It does explain how the terrible dialogue comes off. (Insert Steve Buscemi "how do you do, fellow kids" GIF here.) You can listen to our friend and podcast mentor Quincy Surasmit...
