“She just threw up a Kristen Stewart.”

This week’s thirstiest movie is Love Lies Bleeding. This film has everything: A gym manager elbow-deep in body horror plumbing. Ed Harris’s forehead winning the Picard for best hairline. An underground love story so jacked on roids and vibes it’s basically She-Hulk by way of A24. If you love magical realism, anabolic steroids, and bodybuilder thirst with a side of murder, this episode’s for you!

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.
