"Does this woman have unlimited trench coats?!?"

This week's hottest movie is... Obsessed. This movie has everything: An ambitious woman with a foolproof dating system. A deranged temp who will stop at nothing to get ‘Elba Deep’. And Beyoncé, who at first ignores the red flags, but eventually channels her inner Lemonade rage, screaming ‘I’ve been through this too long, but I’ll be damned if I see another chick on your arm!’ before serving Lisa a final blow via the Chandelier of Justice. So, will Idris learn to report things to HR? Will Lisa ever run out of trench coats? And most importantly, how did Magic Johnson end up producing this movie? Find out now!

Paige Wesley and Todd Schlosser host Romancing the Pod, a weekly dive into the world of romantic cinema that’s far more than a simple review. The pair dissect a different romantic movie each episode, from beloved classics to questionable modern entries, with a blend of genuine appreciation and sharp-witted comedy. You’ll hear them analyze character choices, debate plot plausibility, and inevitably get sidetracked by the hilarious quirks and tropes that define the genre. Their chemistry feels like eavesdropping on two friends who love movies, love to argue about them, and, most importantly, love to laugh at their absurdities. This podcast offers a refreshing take for anyone who enjoys film discussion without pretension, where the critique is thoughtful but the tone is always light. Whether you’re a die-hard romantic or a skeptical viewer, Paige and Todd’s conversations find the heart and the humor in every story. They break down the good, the bad, and the genuinely funny moments, creating an engaging listen that feels both insightful and entertaining. Tune in for a natural and consistently amusing exploration of what makes these films tick, and which ones truly earn their happy ending.
