307. One Night Only (2026)

Mother nature has provided Wicker (2026), and we've merely augmented it into this podcast episode for you! We also discuss mean women, equality in relationships, and our feelings about male doctors.

We lean into romantic drama with this week's watch, Love of Your Life (2026). Despite getting jump-scared by the COVID setting, we manage to discuss how hot that actor is, how nice it must be to have cool hobbies, and how beautiful it is in Lisbon.

We love an Austen adaptation, and Sense and Sensibility (2026) delivers with cute banter, gorgeous shots, and costumes that might make you say "I've made a ruffled collar like that in Dressmaker!"

Hallmark brings us this week's watch with The Spirit of Halloween (2026), which takes the Christmas Carol format and applies it to, well, Halloween. It's a good format! We also discuss overlooking the tall firefighter, molding the minds of young graduates, and not spending too much time alone.

You know we love a dance movie, and we get exactly what we want from Best of the Best (2026). We also discuss how damaging mothers can be, how cool tigers are, and how many actors are simply from Britain.

Remember to wear your goggles in the lab as we get ready to discuss The Love Hypothesis (2026). We chat about how mean attractive people are allowed to be, the subtleties of manipulation, and that hotel room scene.

Nicki and Sandy are back for Practical Magic 2 (2026), and this time they're joined by Lee Pace! We discuss the nature of sequels, undoing all of a story's hard work, and what women's faces are allowed to look like.

Do Us Part (2026) takes "wedding crasher" a bit further than you might be used to--the female lead is trying to be a full-on marriage crasher. We discuss the rationality of this plan along with secure brides, overstepping best friends, and our preferred wedding antics.

Does One Night Only (2026) manage to weave a satisfying romantic tale through the high-concept world of "The Purge but for sex"? We discuss our answers to this question along with Mister Dua Lipa, the importance of casting, and brand name medicine jingles.

I Want Your Sex (2026) might not have a lot of rom, but the com about rom is the bomb. I'm sorry, I was having fun with it. We discuss the new film from Gregg Araki along with our time machine plans, playfulness in storytelling, and our Seth Rogen support group.
