Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn take us on a wild ride through wedding season, and Rachel McAdams steals our hearts. This one has a huge cast and a bevy of memorable lines, but we like to focus on things like: how much is Justin like Owen Wilson? When does a waffle become a dessert waffle? And what exactly is Connecticut casual? (We discover that Justin doesn't know where New England is located.)

Starring Merryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried, this movie remake is sure to make you want to dance right back into the 1970s. Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, and Pierce Brosnan steal our hearts, but their vocals leave something to be desired. Justin and I discuss constellations, wearing overalls casually, and how live theater is always better. And we do some mean Cher impressions!

This week, we float away while watching Just Like Heaven, starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. Justin chose this movie because of his magical vacation this summer, but is it really just like heaven there? We also dive (float?) into ghost physics, keeping cool in an emergency, and Mark Ruffalo’s theories on the zodiac killer. And we play another round of “Oh, Dern it!”

This week, we dive into You've Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. This is a big-time heavy hitter, and we hope we did it justice. We discuss amicable break-ups, AIM relationships, cool away messages, and listener mail (not in that order). We both think Tom Hanks is the best, but does he have a weird thing with large bodies of water?

This week, we tackle Mannequin, starring Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall. Our 80s-loving guru Natalie is the special guest! We discuss whether Kim Cattrall is Eqyptian, how inherently creepy mannequins are, and if it's okay to fall in love with an inanimate object. Sarah has a big reveal at the end, and Justin still can't do accents.

And now for something completely different! We go way back to cover the classic romcom Roman Holiday, starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in her film debut. We discuss the morality of getting a hot news story at all costs, Justin's understanding of female hairstyles, and if we were secret royalty. Do we have any business discussing this lovely and academy-award-winning movie? Probably not, bu...

This week, we cover Knocked Up, starring Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen. Yes, another Katherine Heigl movie. We can't believe it either. All credit goes to our special guest Trivia Dave, who chose the movie because of his huge adolescent crush on Katherine Heigl. We also discuss how babies are made, pregnancy boobs, and why we don't see more birth scenes in movies. Justin finds a dryer sheet in hi...

This episode, we watch I Feel Pretty in the theater! It stars Amy Schumer and a bunch of other people. We discuss anxiety, body image, and Justin's inability to let go of old clothes. We worry about movies where the main character seems to have some sort of head trauma as a plot device. And we walked into the wrong theater! Just one more reason to watch movies at home.

This episode, we wade into My Best Friend's Wedding starring Julia Roberts and Dylan McDermott. But we all know that Rupert Everett steals the show as the best sidekick in rom-com history. Ever. And Cameron Diaz is excellent as the most lovable bride-to-be in an effed-up sitch. Sarah has deep knowledge of this soundtrack, and this may have been where her fascination/attraction to mouth scars began...

This episode, we discuss The Ugly Truth, starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. Sarah was drinking while watching this movie, so she enjoyed it far more than Justin. Still, we discuss the merits of vibrating underwear, sexy dancing, and scary, scary hot air balloons.

This week, we discuss Shallow Hal, starring Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow. We establish that beauty is subjective, we agree that Jack Black is extremely likable, and we nail down the central problem with the Farrelly brothers' thesis. Also, you may have noticed that we got episode 4 and 5 mixed up. Shallow Hal should have been before 500 Days. Sorry!

This week, we discuss 500 Days of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. We have Spicy Dave as our very special guest, and we dig into some sweet karaoke, twee everything, and how easy it is to miss the point of this movie (Justin).

This week we discuss the merits and faults of sharing underwear, Sarah's love of skinny dipping, and Justin's love of 90's fashion. Also, Sarah's husband makes a guest appearance to share a special piece of memorabilia and a celebrity encounter.

This episode includes our first special guest, self-professed real-life Josie Grossie, Taryn! We dive into how Michael Vartan’s hotness makes the movie’s premise more believable, but how inherently creepy it is to lie about your identity to relive high school (and then have your teacher fall in love with you). We also discuss our own high school popularity, barn parties, sex ed, and teen dance clu...

In our first episode ever, we discuss the wedding romcom 27 Dresses, starring Katherine Heigl and James Marsden. As we figure out how much the movie fits into the conventional romcom genre, we discuss Heigl's mental state, ideas for a sequel, Justin's drunk plans, and Sarah's husband literally stabbing Justin in the back.
