    Jack and Nora are joined by content creator Ashley Hufford to discuss Season 1 of Heated Rivalry.

Topics include: Buffy the Vampire SlayerJacob Tierney’s respect for the romance genreSexting– Mysteries we still haven’t solved: Will the industry finally take the right lesson from Heated Rivalry’s success???Will the chokehold this show has on us ever loosen? (We do not ever want this problem to ever go away.)– Spoiler Alert: This episode discusses all of Season 1, plus a few light spoilers from the Game Changers book series (Game Changer, Heated Rivalry, Role Model, The Long Game). It does not, however, contain spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux (2024).

    The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) with Charlie Dinkin

    Jack and Nora are joined by performer, writer, and producer Charlie Dinkin to discuss #21 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: The 40-Year-Old Virgin. In this episode, Nora is fixated on orthodontia, Charlie has a personal vendetta against Funko Pops, and Jack reveals what the boys are really talking about. Wax your chest, power up your cutting-edge combo VHS/DVD player, and let’s get some f***ing French toast! Topics include: 2000s-2010s romcoms (and why they’re largely missing from this list)There’s Something About Mary (1998) and zipper-related traumaSongs we had to sing in school – Mysteries we still haven’t solved: Does that Viagra match trick actually work?– Content warning: Much like this film, this episode goes to some weird and potentially uncomfortable places - from penis-related body horror to pornography to discussions of homophobia and of misogyny (particularly the fear/ threat of violence against women) hinted at in parts of the film. Please tread carefully if these are sensitive topics! – Where to find us: Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and Letterboxd at @whenrommetcomSupport the future of the show on Ko-fiFollow Jack at @thejackgregsonshowFollow Nora at @norassic_parkFollow Charlie Dinkin at @chazzykat (and watch her ITV sketch comedy pilot, Say! Less!, or her Christmas panel show, I Don’t Do… Christmas with Julian Clary)– Find links to our Spotify playlist, the Vanity Fair list, and more here. Join the conversation!
