Beautiful Something (with Chris Moore)

Hosted by critic and writer Jourdain Searles, the Bad Romance Podcast digs into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes surprisingly profound world of romantic cinema. This isn't just a list of the best and worst; it's a thoughtful and funny conversation about what these films-from the genuinely great to the gloriously terrible-tell us about ourselves and our culture. Each episode feels like hanging out with a deeply knowledgeable friend who can pivot from analyzing a classic's technical craft to gleefully dissecting a cheesy plot hole or a baffling character decision. The discussion naturally expands beyond the screen, touching on broader themes in television, society, and the art of storytelling itself. You'll find that this podcast celebrates the entire spectrum of the genre, understanding that a so-called bad movie can be just as revealing and entertaining as a masterpiece. Tune in for smart, comedic analysis that treats romance films with both the respect and the irreverence they deserve.
