Rom Bombs

In this episode we discuss "Office Romance," the new JLo/Brett Goldstein romcom that, from the trailer, seemed very innocuous — perhaps even boring — but turned out to be a REALLY rough watch. Have any of the movies we've covered made LESS sense than this one? It's a tough call. Join us as we break down a movie that manages to completely misunderstand the legal system, human physiology (including boners, choking, and childbirth), tailoring, corporate org charts, and probably aviation. We had a lot to say about this one.Also one of us says the c-word several times, and you'll never guess which of us it is!Follow us on Bluesky @rombombsTheme Music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes

Did we record this episode six months ago? Yes. Is it newly relevant because of the theatrical release of "You, Me, and Tuscany," another romcom set in Tuscany that is almost certainly much better than Netflix's "La Dolce Villa"? Conveniently, yes! Join us as we unpack a movie whose plot has about as much tension as a cat on gabapentin, and whose star has the charisma of a damp shower curtain.Follow us on Bluesky @rombombsTheme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes

Unlike Vanessa Williams, we went and saved the worst for last! In our final holiday episode (don't look at the upload date) we discuss "My Secret Santa," Netflix's return to form after 3 holiday original movies that were actually good. If you thought the heist in "Jingle Bell Heist" didn't make any sense, wait until you see how one mom attempts to save 50% on her daughter's snowboarding school tuition.Follow us on Bluesky!Theme Music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)

Another episode already?? Well, for one thing, E is trying to churn out the rest of these holiday episodes. For another thing, this episode is only half an hour long, because it turns out Jingle Bell Heist isn't actually a romcom and also we didn't have THAT much to say about it. But we did still have some things to say about it, and J wants credit for watching the movie. So enjoy this extra-short episode of Rom Bombs!Follow us on Bluesky!Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)

Look, Christmas may TECHNICALLY be over, but E was lazy and we still have two more Netflix Holiday Movie episodes in the can after this one, so we're extending the holiday season a little bit. In this episode we discuss "Champagne Problems," the rare Christmas romcom whose title isn't a Christmas-related pun. Minka Kelly is sweet, a French guy is bad at communicating in ways that go far beyond a language barrier, and Flula Borg steals the show. Come for E's mediocre French pronunciations, stay for Chekhov's pants-shitting.Follow us on Bluesky!Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)
