In today’s re-release, we’re revisiting the friends-to-lovers film that kicked off the rom-com renaissance of the 90’s: When Harry Met Sally. We wanted to release this episode again with a new segment up top, reflecting on the unbelievable legacy of the late Rob Reiner, and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner. Their love story, which started during the making of “When Harry Met Sally,” forever changed the course of rom-com history. Thank you, Rob and Michele, for making the world a better, brighter, more loving place.

We got the chance to sit down with Cindy Cullers, the runner-up of season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor”! Besides being absolutely luminous, Cindy thoughtfully reflected on her “Bachelor” journey. We discussed what initially drew her to Mel, her thoughts on that infamous podcast, how he handled conversations with her daughters, the truth about the lemon bars, what made her finally walk away, and how she feels about Mel’s… rather harsh post-show interviews. Plus – would Cindy ever consider being the Golden Bachelorette?

Friend of the pod Arden Myrin joined us for our first rom-com rewatch of the holiday season! We dove into 1994 classic “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” starring Hugh Grant and his slutty little glasses alongside Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah and Simon Callow. Somehow the movie manages to work, despite the fact that the central love story is thinly-rendered and unremarkable, and despite the fact that Grant’s Charles is kind of the biggest villain in the film???

Since we have to wait a few months before we watch Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette,” we decided to take matters into our own hands and google the 26 potential men who will compete for her heart! What we found are a bunch of scruffy-faced, cowboy-adjacent men of faith. But a few of them had some shockingly fascinating backstories – including one who has deep ties to former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn.
