142. The Shop Around The Corner

Jimmy Stewart is a Hungarian shopkeep who must earn the respect of the Wizard of Oz in Tom Hanks' finest film. Everything I just said is true in that statement.  Next Week: The Requel to this gem of a movie: YOU'VE GOT MAIL

138. Book Club: Jane Austen's Persuasion

Jane Austen is at her most introspective in this gently moving novel. Though its protagonist isn't as electric as Elizabeth Bennett, Anne Elliot more than holds her own as a romantic heroin.  Next Week PERSUASION... Again! The netflix version starring Dakota Johnson

01:44:04

137. BROS

Bobby and Aaron won't fall in love. Neither of them want a relationship. They're serious. No relationship. Nope. Just a couple of opposites who don't want to attract. Just kidding, that's exactly what they do. Next Week's BOOK: PERSUASION Check out our patreon for bonus episodes!

01:37:56

133. Trainwreck

The name says it all. But it's also good. But we don't like some of it. But Bill Hader is wonderful. Lebron James can act? Next Week's Movie: WIMBLEDON Check out our patreon for bonus episodes!

132. Easy A

Emma Stone stars in this 2010 film but of course our favorite human Stanley Tucci slides in to nearly steal the show. But only nearly, because this is one of the great showcases of Emma Stone, who is brilliantly supported by the likes of the Tooch, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Hayden Church and Amanday Bynes (!) Next Week: TRAINWRECK

130. Romeo and Juliet (1968)

Yes it's a tale as old as time, but that doesn't mean the film versions can't have some flourish. We spin the classic 60's take on the Bard's tale, and we find some modern sensibilities in a decades old adaptation. Next Week: TO GILLIAN ON HER 37TH BIRTHDAY

01:34:22

129. Grease

And we'll always be together, like shoobah doo bah deep a do deep a dop.. Next week's film: ROMEO AND JULIET (1968) check out our patreon at www.patron.com/romcomgents
