My Husband Made Me Do It

123 episodes - English - Latest episode: 13 days ago - ★★★★★ - 8 ratings

Once upon a time, Katie's husband used to travel for work. While sitting alone and bored in hotels and airports, he started watching rom-coms to fill the time. As one does. He started insisting that Katie watch the rom-coms with him when he got home. Sometimes, this was a sweet gesture. He wanted her to enjoy a cute or funny movie with him. Aw. Other times, it was just because the movie was so bad he needed someone else to validate his suffering and suffer too. Enter Lydea, the couple's friend, who finds the forced rom-com watching thing very funny and wants to watch them too for some unknown reason.

Not going to lie, folks, we have watched some absolute duds of movies, but we've watched some amazing ones too. Be prepared for spoilers--in fact, just assume there will be spoilers everywhere--and come join us as we review the rom-coms Katie's dear, sweet husband made her watch.

Deadpool

October 18, 2023 04:00 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MB

As promised, we're watching Deadpool this week.  How did this one make the cut, you ask? Well, to quote the man himself: "some of the best love stories start with a murder. And that's exactly what this is, a love story." We're not 100% sure we believe him, but we can confirm that, at the very least, this movie contains some romance and a lot of wickedly dark comedy.

Is Goundhog Day, the 1993 film starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, a rom com?

10 Things I Hate About You

July 12, 2023 04:00 - 41 minutes - 28.9 MB

We're watching 10 Things I Hate About You this week! It's one of the least problematic 90s rom coms we've had with some of our favorite 90s/00s actors. How are we going to feel about this one? Our final rambling conclusions may surprise you.  10 Things I Hate About You is loosely based on "Taming of the Shrew." Pretty and popular Bianca Stratford can't date until her older sister, the tempestuous Kat Stratford, does. Too bad Kat doesn't want anything to do with the unwashed miscreants who a...

This week we are watching the movie-turned-Broadway-musical: Waitress! And if we happen to call it "The Waitress" at any point in the episode, we're sorry. Really feels like there should be a "the".

We have a special guest! Two guest hosts in one week! Aren't we popular? Petar Leonard from our Scott Pilgrim episode is back to talk about one of his other favorite movies: Starship Troopers. He even has it on VHS!  We know what you're thinking. Surely they didn't watch Starship Troopers and make an episode about it. Surely if I listen to this episode it will be 57+ minutes of something else, and haha, April Fools. But no. We actually did watch Starship Troopers. How we got to this point i...

Pitch Perfect

February 08, 2023 05:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MB

Moonstruck

January 18, 2023 05:00 - 45 minutes - 31 MB

This week we're watching Moonstruck. And what's this? Another Nicolas Cage movie, you say? In the words of Shirley from Community: "If I was in 70 films over 30 years and I spent each one talking at random volumes, I might accidentally win an Oscar." That didn't happen with Moonstruck, but Cher and Olympia Dukakis did take several the big awards for their performances. We don't want to give too much away if you haven't seen this movie.
