    I Want You To Want To Do The Dishes

    It's the Season Finale, and we're going out with a bang (or maybe a passive-aggressive apartment battle)! We're dissecting the messy, realistic drama of the 2006 anti-rom-com, The Break-Up. For this special edition roundtable, we are absolutely thrilled to welcome our very first-ever guests, Crys and Audrey, to the mic! Plus, in a very special edition appearance, my wife, Natalie, also joins the conversation. Is the movie a cautionary tale, a masterclass in bad communication, or just a really painful comedy? We're diving deep into the most cringe-worthy moments, the bowling date awkwardness, and debating who was actually in the wrong—Vince Vaughn or Jennifer Aniston's character. Grab a drink and settle in. This is one finale discussion you won't want to break up with! Follow Us on Instagram: @spoiler_alert_podcast

We discuss everything from Lance’s double-standard dilemma to the chaotic bachelor party and the ultimate question: Can a friendship survive a betrayal that big? Get ready for a high-energy debate about love, loyalty, and the complex reality of adulting. Follow us on Instagram: @spoiler_alert_podcast

    This week on Spoiler Alert: It's Different Now, we’re getting theological with the cult classic, Constantine. I'm joined by my friend V to talk about the movie’s biggest themes—life, death, and the supernatural afterlife. We’ll break down Keanu Reeves’s cynical-but-charming demon hunter and get into some serious, and seriously funny, conversations about fate, free will, and the cosmic forces at play. Ultimately, we find that even in a world of angels and demons, the real struggle is simply finding balance.Follow Us on Instagram: @spoiler_alert_podcast
