I’ve recently started listening and am enjoying the podcast. I haven’t come across too many husband and wife duos hosting a podcast. It’s fun. Good movie choices also. And don’t worry Devon, I think fly away home was weird too! I saw it as a kid and thought, meh. A movie like that could only have been made in the 90’s. I’m surprised you caused such an uproar on ig over that
Perfect Rom Com rewatch podcast
