Us when somebody hasn‘t seen Notting Hill

New episode! We are charmed by Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan (and Adam Driver and Mackenzie Davis) in „The F Word“, an indie romcom out of Toronto that more people should have seen, but also more people than we thought have seen. Ok, a medium amount of people have seen this. Be one of them!

New episode: Never Been Kissed!
Sabrina and Torsten have never been kissed by Michael Vartan, which is a thing they have in common with Drew Barrymore’s character in this teen movie that can’t quite decide what it wants to be, except somehow both charming and problematic. The 90s, man…

New episode! Sabrina and Torsten go to Alaska with Canadian Sandra Bullock and American Ryan Reynolds so she can get a Green Card in „The Proposal“. High jinx ensue, except all jokes about the U.S. immigration system hit different these days. 🙃

New episode! Sabrina and Torsten are still in Sabrina’s kitchen, but really they're on Andrew Ahn’s “Fire Island” (2022) watching Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang put the Pride in “Pride in Prejudice.”

No But Really, “Say Anything”!
- Torsten has joined Sabrina in her kitchen to say something about “Say Anything,” the 1989 Cameron Crowe directorial debut starring Ione Skye and John Cusack that features THAT boombox in front of the window scene.

We're wrapping up our winter season on Valentine's Day with a look back at the original Bridget Jones's Diary.

Join @smittermeier.bsky.social and @kathke.com as they fall into a lake while smoking. (Go see the movie it makes sense. Why are we overexplaining this. Just listen.)

Going to see the new Bridget Jones over the weekend or just enjoying your life as a single gal this Valentine‘s Day? Our ep on the original film is out tomorrow!

You‘re invited! Join us at „My Best Friend‘s Wedding“ this week!

Our newest episode is also our second holiday-themed one this year! We're discussing "Hot Frosty," available now on Netflix and warming our cold frosty hearts with its silliness.

New season starts this Friday, December 6! Already out now: the newly remastered version of our ep on the Dimoldenberg/Garfield chicken shop date with very special guest @marisakabas.bsky.social! We‘ll also discuss current talk of the town, Netflix‘s Hot Frosty. Tis the season! #romcom #podcast

We’re back with a new season this Friday, December 6!

Who are we and why are we called that? @marisakabas.bsky.social wondered the same when she was on our episode about the viral Amelia Dimoldenberg/Andrew Garfield “Chicken Shop Date.”

Here’s @smittermeier.bsky.social and @kathke.com 's answer!
December 4, 2024 at 6:49 PM
Amelia Dimoldenberg & Andrew Garfield - real-life romcom?! And: Is Andrew the new Tom Hanks?
Dropping tmw, our full special episode on the talk of the town, their chicken shop date. With our very special guest the great @marisakabas.bsky.social! #ameliadimoldenberg #andrewgarfield #chickenshopdate

In the season finale, Torsten and Sabrina join Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney for a destination wedding in Australia featuring butt-grabbing and Shakespearean hijinks. Hopefully, no one needs to send a helicopter to save them from drowning in a movie that should work so much better than it does.

Part 1 of our „Shakespeare in the Park“ episodes (we recorded them outside! In a park!) We find „10 Things to Hate About You“ and none are in this movie! Sabrina and Torsten head to Seattle (or is that Tacoma?) to join an all-star teen heart throb cast from the late 1990s take on Shakespeare.
August 4, 2024 at 4:05 PM
It‘s „How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days“! Sabrina & Torsten go back to a time in which people have jobs at print magazines. No it’s not a historical fantasy, it’s a romcom from the early 2000s! Bored by Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey being mean to each other, but there‘s a Marvin Hamlisch cameo?
July 26, 2024 at 1:42 PM
Take a Roman Holiday with us! Torsten and Sabrina encounter Gregory Peck carrying a watermelon and Audrey Hepburn hitting a violin over a man’s head while Eddie Albert takes photos. It’s not as weird as it sounds. It’s weirder. Welcome to Rome, the eternal city, where even princesses have gelato.
July 20, 2024 at 5:57 AM
Let‘s See „What Happens Later“! Torsten and Sabrina watch Meg Ryan and David Duchovny get stuck in an airport during a bomb cyclone. Wait—is that a thing? #romcom #romanticcomedy #romcompodcast #whathappenslater #whathappenslatermovie #megryan #davidduchovny
