We take a realistic look into the unrealistic world of romantic comedies that we LOVE to hate.

 

This Week -


A Merry Little Ex-Mas

Starring: Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson


A wonderful movie that came from a real-life experience of a person who has been through a few therapy sessions and would like to do some projection.

 

We ask the tough questions this week…(and feel free to say 'I feel...' when answering them):

How many glasses of wine do you think it will take for you to get through this movie?

Did Paul Simon sell over the rights to his catalog? Or did he know that this movie would use his song like this?

Why do the filmmakers think we are undeserving of knowing what thermodynamics is?



 

TO THE HEIGLMETER!!

A scale for movies. 5 Heigls = worst movie you've ever seen in your life, most painful. 1 Heigl = not bad. 


Sarah: 5 Heigls 

James: 1999 Heigls.

Ever find yourself yelling at the screen during a supposedly charming meet-cute, or groaning at a grand gesture that would be a restraining order in real life? You're not alone. Comedians Sarah Hunt and James Pietragallo are right there with you in PS I Hate This Movie. Each episode, they grab a beloved romantic comedy by its rose-tinted glasses and give it a thorough, hilarious, and deeply realistic shake-down. This isn't just about pointing out plot holes-though there are plenty-it's about asking why we're so drawn to these films even as we recognize their absurdities. You'll hear them dissect the questionable life choices, the outdated tropes, and the sheer logistics of love stories that defy all reason, all while celebrating the strange comfort of the genre. Their chemistry turns each deep dive into a conversation that feels like hanging out with your most opinionated friends. For anyone who has ever had a passionately conflicted relationship with a rom-com, this podcast offers the perfect blend of critique and nostalgia, making you laugh at the nonsense while maybe, secretly, still loving it a little.
