134 – Simply Irresistible

In the year of our Lord 2026, it feels like not only are we getting fewer romcoms, we’re getting far fewer insanely unhinged romcoms. Enter 1999’s Simply Irresistible, a real fever dream of a romantic comedy about a magic crab who awakens a woman’s dormant ancestral baking skills while helping her get some, except apparently it’s not really about any of those things apparently. Listen in as Leigh, Brendan, Chris and returning special guest Faith pick apart this bizarre piece of 90s nonsense like so much goo-filled dessert fruit. Is it possible for two leads to have negative chemistry? Is constantly referencing better movies enough to sustain your crappy one? And seriously, what the hell is this movie supposed to actually be about? All this chatter and an equally misbegotten cocktail, too!
