    Ep 65 - Office Romance

    In this episode we discuss "Office Romance," the new JLo/Brett Goldstein romcom that, from the trailer, seemed very innocuous — perhaps even boring — but turned out to be a REALLY rough watch. Have any of the movies we've covered made LESS sense than this one? It's a tough call. Join us as we break down a movie that manages to completely misunderstand the legal system, human physiology (including boners, choking, and childbirth), tailoring, corporate org charts, and probably aviation. We had a lot to say about this one. Also one of us says the c-word several times, and you'll never guess which of us it is!

    Ep 64 - La Dolce Villa

    Did we record this episode six months ago? Yes. Is it newly relevant because of the theatrical release of "You, Me, and Tuscany," another romcom set in Tuscany that is almost certainly much better than Netflix's "La Dolce Villa"? Conveniently, yes! Join us as we unpack a movie whose plot has about as much tension as a cat on gabapentin, and whose star has the charisma of a damp shower curtain.

    Ep 63 - My Secret Santa

    Unlike Vanessa Williams, we went and saved the worst for last! In our final holiday episode (don't look at the upload date) we discuss "My Secret Santa," Netflix's return to form after 3 holiday original movies that were actually good. If you thought the heist in "Jingle Bell Heist" didn't make any sense, wait until you see how one mom attempts to save 50% on her daughter's snowboarding school tuition. Follow us on Bluesky!

    Ep 62 - Jingle Bell Heist

    Another episode already?? Well, for one thing, E is trying to churn out the rest of these holiday episodes. For another thing, this episode is only half an hour long, because it turns out Jingle Bell Heist isn't actually a romcom and also we didn't have THAT much to say about it. But we did still have some things to say about it, and J wants credit for watching the movie. So enjoy this extra-short episode of Rom Bombs! Follow us on Bluesky!

    Ep 61 - Champagne Problems

    Look, Christmas may TECHNICALLY be over, but E was lazy and we still have two more Netflix Holiday Movie episodes in the can after this one, so we're extending the holiday season a little bit. In this episode we discuss "Champagne Problems," the rare Christmas romcom whose title isn't a Christmas-related pun. Minka Kelly is sweet, a French guy is bad at communicating in ways that go far beyond a language barrier, and Flula Borg steals the show. Come for E's mediocre French pronunciations, stay for Chekhov's pants-shitting. Follow us on Bluesky! Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)

    Ep 60 - Merry Little Ex-mas

    Holiday romcom season has begun once again! Okay, it actually began a month ago, but E has been too busy to edit any episodes until now. This year Netflix is blessing us with FOUR holiday romcoms (or THREE depending on how you count them), so the next few weeks will be busy. For our inaugural holiday 2025 episode we're talking "Merry Little Ex-mas," a lovers-to-exes-back-to-lovers movie that somehow makes the trope work. Join us as we discuss our newfound love of Pierson Fode, stay for another classic "E hallucinates a character name" blunder. Follow us on Bluesky @rombombs!

    Ep 59 - The Wrong Paris

    Netflix romcoms starring former Disney Channel child stars are back, baby! In this episode we discuss The Wrong Paris, a new Miranda Cosgrove vehicle that parodizes reality dating shows. And J has THOUGHTS about what they got wrong and what they got right. Along the way we also discuss: -Whether spraying yourself in the face with a hose can be sexy -Too much abs? -The nature of the Hulk's g******s -Werewolves and partial werewolves -The Man of La Mancha Follow us on Bluesky!

    Ep 58 - The Hating Game

    What does it take to make an enemies-to-lovers story work? Ideally, Colin Firth in a soaking wet shirt, but instead "The Hating Game" offers up Temu Ryan Reynolds in a towel, which doesn't quite get the job done. A book J liked was transformed into a movie neither of us liked, but we have lots of ideas about how it could have been fixed. We're not angry, just disappointed. Topics covered include: -What's the best angle for a butt shot? -What's the line between "romantic" and "serial killer"? -What's the most popular ship in the Smurfs fandom? -Why do romcom writers always set their stories in the publishing industry when they apparently know nothing about the publishing industry?
