EPISODE 1

It’s Just a Little Frosting

Welcome back to Season 2! This week, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) and Drive Me Crazy (1999) are the first to battle it out. Ruth and Kristen discuss the abruptness of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson actually falling in love, if viewers can move past Chase and Nicole getting together while their parents are secretly dating and which of our hosts’ favorite songs was the B-52’s 1989 hit Love Shack.

EPISODE 2

I Didn’t Know Nike Made Dresses

In this next round, the competition is heating up with Love and Basketball (2000) versus Bend It Like Beckham (2002). Ruth and Kristen discuss females in sports and the cultural implications brought up in both of these films, the messy love triangle between the 3 J’s (Jess, Julia and Joe), the declaration of love in Love and Basketball and why on earth there were so many airplane motifs.

EPISODE 3

I Want to Wake Up With You on Christmas Morning

In this latest round, we are celebrating the holidays! Happiest Season (2020) goes up against The Holiday (2006) in this festive round. Ruth and Kristen discuss if the characters are redeemable in Happiest Season, who has a better kitchen in the Holiday, and why Iris’s elderly neighbor is the best character between both of these movies.

EPISODE 4

Fresh Creamery Butter

We’re about to travel through time! In this episode, Kate & Leopold (2001) battles against Palm Springs (2020). Ruth and Kristen discuss time loops and time travel, argue the plausibility of missing elevators in Kate & Leopold, whether the characters in Palm Springs were good people and Meg Ryan’s awful haircut.

EPISODE 5

My Life is Very Much Like Monopoly

We’re taking the competition to the workplace! This week it’s 500 Days of Summer (2009) vs. Two Weeks Notice (2002). Ruth and Kristen discuss why Summer was an underdeveloped character, if Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant are just charming people or actually do have chemistry, and the great soundtrack from 500 Days of Summer.

EPISODE 6

Women Are People Too

This week we’re going old school! The Philadelphia Story (1940) is up against Some Like It Hot (1959) in this weeks’ screwball category. Ruth and Kristen discuss the iconic actors in this golden age of film, the progressive storylines in Some Like It Hot, if plays translate well onto the screen and if Kristen hates old movies.

EPISODE 7

You Sound Like You're From London

We’re going on a vacation! This week, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) battles it out against the Netflix original Falling Inn Love (2019). Ruth and Kristen discuss what makes a good movie kiss, the epic Vampire musical, whether Sarah or Peter was the reason for their break up, and why Ruth just wants to watch Bring It On 5 again.

EPISODE 8

Is That Blue Soup?

It’s our favorite trope - enemies to lovers! Bridget Jones Diary (2001) is up against the cult classic But I’m A Cheerleader (1999). Ruth and Kristen discuss the satire, the self-acceptance journey that both female leads must go through, Bridget Jones' body issues, and if being a bad kisser is worse than being a bad person. (Hint: maybe!)
