RomCom Love - November 04, 2022 12:52 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsJess and Bonnie meet somewhat in the middle, Los Angeles, for an unpredictable comedy that Tom desperately wants to be romantic.

RomCom Love - October 28, 2022 21:41 - 59 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsErin joins Bonnie on a trip to England to check in on Louisa who is in need of a new job. Working for Will Traynor was not what she expected, and that is mirrored in Erin's experience with this movie, not knowing the storyline.

92 - The Way Way Back (2013)
RomCom Love - October 07, 2022 00:10 - 48 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsBianca and Bonnie are headed to the Massachusetts coast for a summer that might start out pretty sucky, but we bet will end on a high note.

RomCom Love - September 19, 2022 15:26 - 48 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsBrittany and Bonnie are heading to Maryland for a wedding we haven't exactly been invited to. While not your traditional RomCom, this movie has a lot of Rom (yes, some absolutely cringey), and is said to have been instrumental in reviving the R-rated comedy. The Best Friend and Imposters & Sec...
89 - Return to Me (2000)
RomCom Love - September 10, 2022 23:17 - 44 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsBonnie and Brittany are headed to Chicago for Bonnie Hunt's stellar offering.

Join us for dinner at...
88 - Bull Durham (1988)
RomCom Love - September 03, 2022 12:53 - 44 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsFor our 88th episode, Cindy and Bonnie go back to 1988 to what Sports Illustrated called "a damn good baseball movie". Never fear, though, this classic RomCom has it all - ironing, garters, a rain out, a quotable speech, and more chemistry than you can swing a bat at. If you hit the ball you w...
87 - We're the Millers (2013)
RomCom Love - August 27, 2022 21:04 - 43 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsDiane and Bonnie are thinking outside the box on this Com with a good dose of Rom!

RomCom Love - August 22, 2022 19:57 - 43 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsViolet and Bonnie are headed to Seattle for a little-seen independent about trying to adult through a quarter-life crisis.

RomCom Love - August 07, 2022 16:56 - 59 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsLeslie and Bonnie are headed to Philly for a romantic dramedy that steers clear of the tropes, but has a lot to say about love, family, loss, and mental health.

83 - Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
RomCom Love - July 31, 2022 20:18 - 44 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsBonnie and Brittany are headed to Michigan for Grosse Pointe High's 10 year reunion! Back-to-back John Cusack's for us and we couldn't be happier. While this 1990s cult classic is in no way a typical RomCom, Minnie and John make the most of it. Oh, and did we mention Joan Cusack too? Come for...
82 - America's Sweethearts (2001)
RomCom Love - July 24, 2022 14:58 - 54 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsBrittany and Bonnie are headed to Palm Springs for our 4th Julia Roberts, 3rd John Cusack, and 2nd Catherine Zeta-Jones, Billy Crystal, and Hank Azaria.

RomCom Love - July 17, 2022 19:00 - 38 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsSarah is back and we're headed to Rhode Island to help Grandma and Grandpa close up the house for the season. This movie has it all - unrequited love, imposters & secrets, family drama, a touch football game on the front lawn, a talent show and, dare we say, Love at First Sight? An all-star ca...
80 - Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010)
RomCom Love - July 10, 2022 16:31 - 38 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsSarah and Bonnie are headed to Toronto for a Marc Platt innovation that hits just about all the RomCom categories we have. Scott has to battle the evil exes if he is serious about Ramona, and we think he is up to the task. The cast, oh the cast for this one. We've got a vegan ex, a transmedia...
79 - The Sound of Music (1965)
RomCom Love - July 01, 2022 20:19 - 53 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsThis is a big one! Diane and Bonnie have loooong histories with Julie Andrews's classic and it made for a wonderful discussion over wine, raspberries, and chocolate (Julie's favorite treats). You've seen it, you liked it, maybe you even love it. This movie has it all: an overture setting the...
78 - My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)
RomCom Love - June 24, 2022 15:11 - 41 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsLeslie and Bonnie are returning to Chicago for the wedding of the new millennium. Back in 2002 this movie was massive, making it one of the highest grossing RomComs ever. Based on Nia Vardalos's real life and one-woman show, this low budget phenomenon is still utterly delightful. It's all at ...

RomCom Love - June 18, 2022 12:27 - 42 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsBrittany is back! Bonnie and Brittany head to Chicago for a sweet Keanu and Sandy B. reunion that is as mind-warping as it is good.

RomCom Love - June 09, 2022 01:16 - 50 minutes ★★★★★ - 6 ratingsJohn and Bonnie are heading to Pennsylvania for a classic Love/Hate, along with some Imposters and Secrets, and a little Based On (the Broadway play).
