This week on Go Get Your Girl , we’re cracking open A Nice Indian Boy, a rom-com where falling in love is somehow easier than surviving dinner with the parents. We’re talking awkward flirting, family meddling, and so much wholesome sweetness we'll have a toothache forever. Is it swoony? Yes. Stressful? Also yes. Does Jonathan Groff get wet? Unfortunately, no. 

Pride Month continues with this Conversion Camp comedy classic!  First off, there seems to be a problem with Katie's sound in this one, I did what I could to adjust it, but apologies in advance.
