After these last few trying years of isolation and uncertainty, we decided that it’s high time to turn off the news and soak our parched brains in some light-hearted Rom Coms (and Rom Drams)! Do you enjoy the kind of wise-cracking friendship that keeps you humble with their relentless dry humor? Do you enjoy a hefty side of gallows humor with your romance? Heather and Sarah explore the eclectic terrain of beloved rom-coms and rom-drams with the kind of sarcastic informality that only comes from years and years of friendship that has only grown, like a fungus, from living.

    "She'd Do Anything For Attention.": SALTBURN

    You’d have to practically be dead to not hear of this cinematic phenomenon that has swept the world. Dead-like practically all the characters from the movie. Emerald Fennell has done it again; horrifying audiences everywhere with her unabashed snarky, Female Gaze-riddled stories. If you ever stalked someone from afar and weaseled your way into their periphery just to breathe their CO2, then this film is for you. It’s giving Yolanda shooting her beloved Selena vibes. Perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, this movie asks you to show it where it hurt you on the doll. Don’t throw your baby out with the bath water, make a romantic cocktail or perhaps a "bathtub jizz-fizz?" Sarah and Heather run naked through all the film’s glamorously shocking tropes, pausing to reflect on its overt and irreverent mockery of the upper class. This movie will love you to death. *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

    "Here's Looking At You, Kid.": CASABLANCA

    OK. We did it. Sarah and Heather dared to tackle the archaic Behemoth of a classic. Surprisingly, they both had never seen this one. Hold on to your papers! The definable romance power couple “Boags and Bergman” reunited in the midst of political strife, exile, and uncertainty, which always turns the passion to an 11. Will the Nasty Germans prevail? Will their love be resuscitated? Will Sam play their song again, which will steer their loins to each other like uncontrollable magnets? Will large quantities of alcohol be consumed in every single scene? We’ve got questions! Join us as we excavate this sacred epistle to self-sacrificial love. Don’t worry, they will, “Always have Paris.” And Sarah and Heather will “Always have Vegas.” *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

    "If You Want Monogamy, Marry A Swan.": HEARTBURN

    Oh look, Heather suggested a movie that Sarah didn’t sneer at and veto!! Heather should go play the lottery! After a brief hiatus, we head on down to the 80’s to a demure and soft Meryl Streep and a philandering scoundrel trope timelessly embodied by Jack Nicholson. This Nora Ephron film had us feeling all kinds of melancholic thoughts, as it explored Ephron’s own personal story of blushing marriage to the throes of pie-wielding divorce. At least she pawned the Ring. And we are team Richard. *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

    "But I Also Guarantee, That If I Don't Ask You To Be Mine, I'll Regret It For The Rest Of My Life.": RUNAWAY BRIDE

    Can you recreate the same Magic as the first time? Richard Gere and Gary Marshall certainly thought so when they begged Julia Roberts to star opposite Gere in another Wacky Rom-Com destined to win everyone’s hearts. Welp, they definitely tried. Tune in to hear why it’s never as good as the first time, while Sarah and Heather plot their next madcap vacation tracing the very fated steps of our lead characters Ike and Maggie, as they sprint away from and then run towards Love. **Smoosh** *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

    “F**k Off, For Sure! Like Totally!”: VALLEY GIRL

    Before Renfield, there was Randy. Randy is both his character’s name and personality. Come see a baby Nicholas Cage from the mean streets of Hollywood woo a coddled, prissy Valley girl (Deborah Foreman) while hiding in a shower. Hey when and where romance hits, it just hits. Who are we to comment on suburban Mall Culture vs. dirty-city Punk Culture? Opposites attract. Full stop. Sarah and Heather go “over the hill” and not so deep into the Valley for this lively and light hearted episode. (Heather tries not to gag herself with a spoon.) *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

    “I Don’t Want To Need You, Because I Can’t Have You.”: THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY

    Crack open your handheld fan for this one, it’s a bright shinning seductive, steamer of a movie... You will need to fan yourself dramatically, to either cool yourself off or dry your tears. (or both) Directed by Clint Eastwood, starring himself paired with Meryl Streep, the complexities explode within the bounds of the bare simplicities that compose this story. Sarah and Heather discuss the fatalistic reverence in which these two soul mates meet and mate for only a brief, but unforgettable four days. Their connection so completely indelible and at times unspoken but so prominent that it has a life-changing profound effect on two grown up children who merely hear their story, decades later. Revolving around the themes of duty, quantifiable dreams, obligation, setting an example, and the price of giving up your soul mate or the neighbors will talk, this movie will rattle your heart cage and make you think of that one magical person from the past who knew you so well after ten minutes that the air completely left the room, and you were forced to sabotage it because you can’t have nice things. Scatter our ashes on the concrete bridges of Orange County, and tune in for yet another existential crisis inducing convo. *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

    "His Name Is Blane? That's A Major Appliance, That's Not A Name!": PRETTY IN PINK

    You know it, you love it, it’s the classic Cinderella story told by way of 1986. Molly Ringwald defies all fashion logic by daring to wear pink as a redhead, and crush unabashedly on the rich, popular guy while her lipgloss pouts from the “wrong side of the tracks.” But guess what? He likes her back! But like all unassuming, naturally cool chicks, she has a sidekick guy friend who is not-so-secretly pining for her: Enter the Duckie - Forlorn, poetic, and a slightly pathetic courtier who is playing the wear-down game with his female BFF. A moment of silence for “Duckies” everywhere…. Sarah and Heather uncurl and unfurl this ode to teenage classist angst, and oddly comment on the 80’s fashion that seemingly ages everyone up about 30+ years, to couture fresh out of a Sears catalogue for 55 and over. Lighters up for the Rave-ups, New Order, and The Psychedelic Furs who enhance this bawdy tale with the tones of longing and lust. Now if only Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald had just an ounce of sexual chemistry….. As Iona puts it, “Don’t waste good lip gloss.” A girl can dream. *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_

    "220, 221. Whatever It Takes.": MR MOM

    Ok so yeah, this is an obvious Heather choice. Yeah, but this movie was revolutionary for its time, depicting an astonishing (gasp) reversal of gender roles with elements of campy fantasy and 80’s hijinks thrown in. Did we mention it also stars Terri Garr? This is the first movie in which Michael Keaton carries top billing and his natural comedic talents shine as he foibles the unknown gendered world of unpaid maternal labor AKA: The Housewife. Don’t worry, he eventually reclaims his alpha throne and his wife heads back into the monotonous domestic terrain at the end, so rest easy. They did it for America, and Schooner Tuna. Join us as we excavate another early 80’s John Hughes classic, Mr. Mom. *intro/outro by Jumbled* IG: @john_bachman_
