Customer Reviews
The podcast you didn’t know you needed
Sam and Shelby are amazing. Give it a listen you will not be disappointed. Promise.
It's Rom-Simply a good podcast
If you watch rom-coms or have heard of rom-coms or have never heard of rom-coms or even if you've never heard of anything and are a baby I would recommend this podcast. I think as a baby you could maybe learn some basic English words from it and as a REAL PERSON - that's right babies aren't people, I said it - you can find laughs and love and life lessons. And maybe come out of it a little bit smarter, okay? How does that sound? Maybe get an education for once. Pick up a book. Listen to this podcast. You can be better and this podcast'll do it for you.
Needed this in my life
Love Shelby and Sam’s hilarious POV’s on my favorite garbage rom coms. I think the best moment so far is when they decided to recap their movie choices by writing songs...that they then badly (yet adorably) sang...set to Copa Cabana-esque music 😂 So funny.
