We are joined by Tara's sister Emily and Emily's fiancée Randall (some of you may formally know him just as Randall) to discuss this early 2000s flick feat. Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan.

Would we have followed the Duke back to his own time period? Does Steve just wish he was a Duke's wife who didn't have to worry about work?? We dive in....
