On this week's show, Steve and Dana are joined by guest host Dan Kois to weigh the suitability of Materialists as a rom-com for our transactional age. In choosing between suitors played by Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, matchmaker Dakota Johnson must choose between love and money— but is there a soul beneath all this romantic calculation? They debate. Next, they return to the depths of a billionaire-backed fiasco in the new documentary Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster about the jaw-dropping 2023 submarine implosion. Finally, they remember and appreciate the life and ineffable, enduring work of pop music auteur, and Beach Boys, frontman Brian Wilson.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Steve, Dana, and Dan discuss Lauren Michelle Jackson's New Yorker essay about “P.O.V.” videos and what they say about how we see the world.

Motherhood is often sold like a dreamy rom-com—soft lighting, endless giggles, and matching outfits. But let's be honest: it's a little closer to a chaotic reality show with no sleep, a lot of mess, and a rogue granola bar in your bra. In this episode, we're calling out the overly romanticized version of motherhood and setting the record straight. From unrealistic expectations to the pressure to make it all look perfect, we're getting real about what it actually feels like—and why embracing the chaos might just be the best part.

Winter and spring have given way to summer, and where better to head than the south of France for a romantic interlude, no? This week, Chris and Kevin crack into French Kiss, the 1995 romantic comedy starring Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan against the backdrop of Paris and the southern vineyards. Is this a downturn in Meg's romcom trajectory? Or is it, secretly, one of her best?

Episode 86 - For the our second plate of the Korean-Style Wedding Buffet of Korean Genre Film we are going light with a Rom-Com as the main feature. We don't venture into the Rom-Com genre often, but we are branching out this month and watching the pinnacle of the Korean Rom-Com genre with My Sassy Girl (2001). My Sassy Girl was based on a real-life anonymous online blog written by a buy about his girlfriend. The boy, a college student, in this is named Gyeon-Woo, and after saving a drink girl on the subway he stumbles into a relationship with her. And she is quite the sassy girl. We also spend time discussing another comedy called Like a Virgin (2006) which follows the young trans character Dong-Gu who joins the school Sirrum (Korean wrestling) team to win the money in a tournament to get a sex change.We packed a lot into this one so tune in and join the party.And email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com

Welcome to Weekend Watch! Where we recommend the shows and movies we can’t get enough of this week. First up, Mixtape is a nostalgic new Binge drama about first love, second chances, and a song that brings two people back together after decades apart. Then there’s Materialists, the sexy, stylish new film everyone in the Mamamia office is buzzing about. It’s not quite a rom-com, but it’s romantic, dramatic, and full of chaotic energy. Think high fashion, complicated relationships, and more than a few steamy moments. GET IN TOUCH:Do you have feedback or a topic you want us to discuss on The Spill?

Episode 232How A Man Profits off His FlawsSensers! June is here and so is another episode from yours truly. For starters, how does handle not getting what they want from someone? Throw a fit? Talk it out? Walk away? All of the above? Let's dive into it. I believe we tend to avoid our flaws in ourselves but some of our flaws have certainly helped us profit off them, I am wholeheartedly completely flawed but dammit those very same flaws pushed me into the current version of myself just altering the mindset on those said flaws. What would you consider to be your flaws?I'm talking to the men on this one…fellas have you ever notice without focus that you enjoy doing certain things that traditionally a woman might be into? Not the obvious shit like getting nails done or wearing panties but listening to certain music or watching a “Rom-Com” or drinking fruity drinks? I'll take one for the team and admit the commonly female type shit I've done and share on this topic. May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this.

Je suis trop contente de vous proposer cet entretien avec Martin Page. Juste après Ovidie, c'est l'auteur que je rêvais le plus d'interviewer tant son travail est puissant et d'utilité publique, et son parcours, avec celui de sa compagne, la talentueuse Coline Pierré, est admirable, au sens pur du terme. "Au-delà de la pénétration" a été une révélation pour beaucoup et l'est encore : plus de 35 000 exemplaires vendus ! Il publie "La tendresse des catastrophes" (éditions Les Escales), une comédie romantique, un roman d'amour. C'est captivant, poétique, sexy, drôle, politique. Car oui, la fiction est politique. On a besoin de représentations. Martin Page "On écrit par amour des livres, et ausi par colère et déception, par envie de mettre le bordel dans les représentations, et par désir d'y retrouver les nôtres. On écrit pour crééer les livres qu'on aimerait lire, pour que ces livres portent nos histoires et les nôtres,et leur rendre justice."Mic drop.

That's a wrap on Rom-Com Vom! We made it through a whole season of dissecting the cringiest lessons the rom-coms that raised us tried to teach.

It's the final Rom-Com Vom—and we're going out with a true vom. DB is joined by the brilliant Kate from CRAMPED to dissect No Strings Attached, a film so bafflingly bad it makes you double-check that yes, it really did come out in 2011. They unpack the film's deeply weird messages about women, work, and love, from its rare-but-still-weird period scene to its tired idea that ambitious women just need to be “fixed” by emotionally unavailable men.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we're going full rom-com with a film that brings swagger, charm, and a surprisingly heartfelt message to the genre: Hitch (2005).Directed by Andy Tennant and starring Will Smith in peak smooth-talking form, Hitch follows Alex “Hitch” Hitchens, a professional dating consultant known as the “Date Doctor.” His job? Helping awkward men win over the women of their dreams. His golden rule? No tricks, just helping guys be the best version of themselves. But when Hitch meets his match in cynical gossip columnist Sara Melas (played by Eva Mendes), he quickly discovers that love isn't something you can plan—or dodge.Alongside the central romance, the film pairs Kevin James and Amber Valletta in a charmingly awkward subplot where Hitch tries to coach James' character, Albert, into wooing a high-powered heiress. The physical comedy here is excellent, and James' earnestness offers a perfect counterpoint to Smith's practiced cool.What sets Hitch apart from other rom-coms of its era is its big-hearted message: behind every confident exterior, there's vulnerability, and real connection comes from authenticity. It's stylish, funny, and doesn't take itself too seriously—but still manages to land some surprisingly sincere moments.Will Smith brings effortless charisma, but it's the ensemble that makes the film tick, and its breezy pacing keeps the whole thing light and engaging. Hitch might be formulaic in structure, but it sticks the landing thanks to strong performances and a script that knows when to wink and when to swoon.Perfect for a date night, guilty pleasure viewing, or just remembering when rom-coms had swagger and sincerity in equal measure.

In this episode Antony reviews the movie I Love You, Man, which has a very profound message for all men who are attempting to live a life of genuine empowerment.  The main analysis centres upon the friendship between Peter Klaven and Sydney Fife.  Antony then considers the advantages and disadvantages of living a batchelor life vs marriage/relationships.  The conversation then shifts into the realm of what it means to be a man in the modern era and the nature of relationships as revealed in the movie.

Novelist Noel Stark takes Papamutes behind the scenes of her debut rom-com "Love, Camera, Action". Drawing from her extensive career working in nearly every position in film and television, Noel crafted an authentic, steamy story about a female director and cinematographer who constantly jostle for control—both on set and in the bedroom.Noel discusses the power dynamics in her novel and how they reflect real industry experiences. Her explanation of how she approaches writing intimate scenes—focusing on what would surprise the characters rather than what might please readers—demonstrates her character-driven approach to storytelling.Whether you're an aspiring writer, film industry professional, or romance reader, this conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative process and the realities of bringing stories from imagination to page.Send Papamutes a Text“THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED OR VIEWS EXPRESSED BY GUESTS DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT OR REPRESENT THOSE OF THE HOST; Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Castro, Google Podcasts or wherever you stream your podcasts.

Actor, writer, and director Max Talisman joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss the power of creating inclusive stories, redefining queer romance on screen, and leading with kindness on set of his new film Things Like This. MAX TALISMAN is rapidly emerging as a leading voice in Hollywood, with standout performances in the indie thriller Super Dark Times, the Jennifer Lopez film Marry Me, and hit series including Orange is the New Black, The Blacklist, and Search Party. Now, he makes his highly anticipated directorial debut with Things Like This, a bold reimagining of queer romance that follows two men with the same name as they navigate love and self-discovery in New York City. Starring Joey Pollari (Love, Simon), Jackie Cruz (Orange is the New Black), and Cara Buono (Stranger Things), the film steers away from traditional coming-out or trauma-centered stories, instead embracing humor, complexity, and the universal joy of connection—positioning it as one of 2025's most exciting indie releases.

Author Liz Alterman discusses her new book, Claire Casey's Had Enough. Claire Casey is a forty-something year old mom of three who is recently separated from her husband and is facing the decision of whether to reconcile or file for divorce. The book follows Claire through one thirteen-hour day in which her life feels like its spinning out of control. When an old flame gets in touch and asks Claire out on a date, she is forced to revisit her hopes and dreams and things that took a back seat to marriage and family, all while trying to deal with the everyday chaos of being a suburban mom. As it all gets to be too much, Claire has to be honest with herself, take a hard look at her life, and decide what she really wants.

In this episode, we're back with the queen of chaos and charm—my sister, the one and only Big Vic! We're taking on the steamy Sydney-set rom-com Anyone But You, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. From enemies to lovers (and back again?), we unpack all the chemistry, cringe, and comedy that make this modern rom-com worth a rewatch.

This week we celebrate 18 years of marriage.  Whaaaat?!  YES.  It is our wedding anniversary, and I invited my favorite human (my husband!) back on the podcast to celebrate with me. We're getting real about what it actually looks like to love each other out loud—not just in Instagram-worthy moments, but in hallway hellos, morning text rituals, and that one time on a cruise ship when we totally misunderstood each other... and turned it into one of our best love lessons. This isn't a “how-to” episode. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how we LIVE the frameworks I coach on—✨Soul-Centered Communication, the Power of One, and honoring difference with delight.✨ You'll hear what it sounds like to co-create emotional safety, savor the simple stuff, and stay connected—even when you're not on the same page. Whether you've been married 18 years or 18 months, my hope is that you FEEL the energy under our words: grounded, loving, deeply human. ✨This is love in real life. Not perfect. But deeply, intentionally, joyfully true.✨ Here's what we cover: Why how we greet each other matters more than grand gestures What we've learned about honoring differences (especially when one of us uses 10,000 words... and the other 10!) The small rituals that keep our connection sacred How a cruise ship miscommunication became a masterclass in partnership and one of our forever favorite marriage bloopers Why we sometimes choose rose-colored glasses... on purpose It's tender. It's playful. It's full of gold. I can't wait for you to listen and I absolutely want to hear your favorite takeaway!
