In this episode, Emma & Katie head off to camp to discuss 1998's The Parent Trap, which introduced both Lindsay Lohan to the world, and Nancy Meyers in her directing debut. We go deep on camp stories, ocean liners, rich people problems, the Disney Channel in the 90s, gay subtext, mischief, spiders, but mostly how truly terrible these parents would have ot be to put these poor girls through this ordeal. 

The Parent Trap

It's a netflix original babbbyyyyyyy! Emma and Katie fall INN love with the 2019 Christina Milian and all of New Zealand feature. They ask all the important questions like- should chemistry between your two leads matter if you have an adorable town of kiwis? What exactly is an eco friendly Inn? IS this Inn eco friendly? And many many more!!

Falling INN Love

Emma & Katie discuss the 2004 lesbian romcom Saving Face, and get distracted Final Destination movies, The Club, age gaps, skinny scarves, a (very) brief history of Taiwan, and Emma finally reveals her Pride and Prejudice quiz results!

Saving Face

Emmas & Katie go on a Gay Trauma Rollercoaster and watch the 2022  gay romcom Bros, but also discuss reverse harems, group sex, The Red Shoe Diaries, Tom Cruise, compromising artistic values in the non-profit sector, and of course, Hillary Duff



Also the hosting site said the word "Bros" was one character too short to be a title of an episode, thus the exclamation point

Bros!

Emma & Katie discuss the premier lesbian-romcom-written-by-a-straigh-man Imagine Me & You, and also lots of book chat, TV for old people, cockney rhyming slang, "dogging," and whether or not the guy from this movie hooks up with a ten year old, (ten years in the future)



Happy Pride!

Imagine Me & You

This week Emma and Katie dive into the 2000s rom-com. That's right it's another Sandy Bullock! Tune in as they recap the movie that *ALLEGEDLY* brought NYC back from 9/11? Don't worry they address THAT jump scare and also how Hugh Grant discovered Coney Island Hot Dogs which then gave him the runs that held up filming.

Two Weeks Notice

Emma & Katie stay surprisingly on topic for this one, mostly because there's just so much to discuss about the 1987 Coen Bros masterpiece. Holly Hunter! Nic Cage! 

What's not to like?

Raising Arizona

It's the most Jane Austin-y of all Jane Austin Rom Coms! This week Emma and Katie dive into the 2005 Joe Wright Classic Pride and Prejudice. They discuss the importance of a hand flex, how men should be required to read Jane Austin and if this or the BBC miniseries is a better adaptation. They also take time to discuss The People's Joker, Hundreds of Beavers and the Chicago Improv Scene. It's an all around fun time! 

Pride and Prejudice (2005 Joe Wright)

Emma & Katie discuss the seminal 90's teen comedy Clueless, and can't help but get wrapped around the axle on the age gap, but you already knew that, didn't you? We also discuss Bussey Woods, lots of hometown Chicago stuff, Charlie's driving adventures, Emma's Emo past, and SKA!



Fact Check: Apparently Breckin Meyer and Deborah Kaplan divorced in 2014 🤷🏻‍♀️

Clueless!

**Content Warning! This movie deals extensively with self harm in a very dismissive, lighthearted way. It was made in 2006, that was kind of everywhere at the time, sadly. If that is not something you want to listen to, please skip this episode! 



Emma & Katie talk about the 2006 romantic comedy, and also The mid-2000s! Emo culture! Eastern European tax shelter filmmaking! High school pretensions! Gogol Bordello!  Failed Fox tv shows! Katie mispronounces "Shea Wigham" a lot! 



Note: We DID discuss Sossamon before, in The Holiday, of course!
