This love story is near and dear to our Canadian hearts.

- Julianne & Michael (My Best Friend's Wedding)Sep 21, 2021 · 1 hr 29 minWelp, we found it - the quintessential movie that inspired everyone around the world to NOT TRUST MIXED GENDER/EX FRIENDSHIPS! Omg is this how you guys think we act??? We're so sorry for the misrepresentation. This '90s classic with Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, and Cameron Diaz is SO MUCH FUN and SO FULL of problems and we get right into it! If San Antonio sweeps Sacramento we will get to the bottom of this: should you trust the "girl"/"boy" best friend?
Plus we talk about karaoke as a date, who the "real" best friend is in this movie, inappropriate 'platonic' behaviour, and more!

- Andy & Nate (The Devil Wears Prada)Jul 20, 2021 · 1 hr 12 minThis episode focuses on the relationship of Andy (Anne Hathaway) and Nate (Adrian Grenier) as they navigate the stress and strain of a new career path under the tyranny of high fashion. We discuss how to be a supportive partner instead of a little bitch during times of transition and how Nate's immaculate skill at burning grilled cheese sandwiches should never have landed him a job as a sous chef. But does Nate have any redeeming qualities? Does Andy? DOES MIRANDA? Please, listen to this episode at a glacial pace, you know how that thrills me.
