Season 4: The Buffs Learn to Love – A Rom Com Summer

Episode 12: A ROM-COM FOR SAD GUYS – Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

Hosts: Matt and Joe

Movie: Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

This week, Matt and Joe lace up their sneakers, grab their trash bags, and sprint full-speed into Silver Linings Playbook — the 2012 Oscar-nominated romantic dramedy where mental health, ballroom dancing, and Eagles football all collide in chaotic harmony.

Bradley Cooper’s got rage issues, Jennifer Lawrence is giving capital-V Vibes, and Robert De Niro is betting on everything. It’s a rom-com for the emotionally unstable — and we mean that in the most affectionate way.

What can you expect?

• What Did You Watch This Week – The usual chaos, with extra sports metaphors.
• Snap Synopsis – Five minutes of plot recap with the same energy as Pat’s morning jogs.
• Dunk or Defend – Is this movie a bold genre fusion or just trying too hard to win awards?
• Happily Ever After – Our official rom-com ranking showdown continues.

Whether you’re here for the dance scenes, the football stakes, or just to see if Matt and Joe cry again — this episode’s got the silver lining you didn’t know you needed.
