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!

133.5 – Haven’t Seen It III: The Search for Suitable Movies

Hey look, this game we played twice before is back! That’s right, it’s Haven’t Seen It, where one (or more) of us tries to describe the plot of a movie we’ve never seen before based off just what we’ve gathered by context while someone who has seen said movie feels a smug sense of superiority for knowing how it actually goes. Unsurprisingly, it gets harder and harder to find viable movies for this, so we don’t get to do it all that often (or we end up accidentally repeating ourselves, as we did previously). But THIS time it’s different! THIS time, we made a list! And we limited ourselves to three movies per person. Er, wait, two. But we got to do a game we liked again, so we’re glad anyway. We also briefly discuss the upcoming romantic comedy we’ll be discussing two weeks from now, and it’s, uh, weird.
