I love (pun intended) this podcast!
This podcast is so much fun! It’s so interesting to delve back into my favorite romcoms with a fresh perspective (and it gives me an excuse to rewatch all these films!). This podcast is an utter delight!!
Terrible podcast
Dumb podcast made by dumb people
Great show!
You gotta love a podcast where special attention is paid to the quirky best friend in a romcom. Such a sweet and special touch from two clearly sweet and special hosts!
