Episode Synopsis

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?Follow us on Bluesky!Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes
