Rachel Meets Peter: Forgetting Sarah Marshall Mar 20, 2017

Show notes

But writer/star Jason Segel is a relatable, flawed lead opposite both Kristen Bell as the titular Sarah Marshall, and Mila Kunis, the babely customer service lady; Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a gem. Not only because it’s the first taste of Jason Segel’s Muppet obsession, but it’s a sad break-up movie with a hilarious all-star cast that will keep you laughing and maybe even crying. Joey and Amanda try to guess which of them is the bigger sad sack, and Amanda needs more information about Rachel’s (Mila Kunis) plans for going back to college before she can decide whether Rachel and Peter stay together. 10/10 would recommend watching again.

Diane Meets Lloyd: Say Anything… Mar 06, 2017

Show notes

Released in 1989, Say Anything follows two unlikely lovebirds the summer after they graduate high school. In this episode, they discuss how not wanting sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career is a worthwhile attitude, and basically the pathos of every aspiring writer. Amanda drops a truth-bomb on Joey about Lloyd and his platonic BFF Corey, and they both agree it was highly inappropriate for Bebe Neuwirth’s character to show up at that high school party. (more…)

Andie Meets Ben: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Feb 20, 2017

Show notes

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days director Donald Petrie, who also made generally liked movies like Miss Congeniality, Grumpy Old Men and Mystic Pizza, couldn’t wrangle his three screenwriters to interpret the source material into a workable script, and the result is a garbage movie that somehow seems to be gaining in popularity in recent years. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey star as alliterated Andie Anderson and Benjamin Barry, and while they’re charming and at times funny, their performances were not quite enough to save this poor, sad movie, riddled with tropes (and not in a good way). There wasn’t even a meet-cute. (more…)

Loretta Meets Ronny: Moonstruck Feb 06, 2017

Show notes

Released in 1987, both Cher and Olympia Dukakis took home Academy Awards for their performances in Moonstruck. It’s a film that was always on in the Esposito home, and although this was Amanda’s first viewing, she agrees it’s an absolute classic. Joey and Amanda discuss Joey’s flashbacks to his grandparents' house, the effortless charm of John Mahoney, and the culpability of Johnny Cammareri in his brother Ronny’s hand accident and why Uncle Ray and Aunt Rita were the best.

Jane Meets Kevin: 27 Dresses Jan 23, 2017

Show notes

Released in 2008, 27 Dresses — a woman-directed, woman-written film — may not have dazzled critics, but Amanda related big time to the two major storylines: sister-on-sister conflict and falling in love with a writer. She and Joey discuss the career decisions of Jane and Kevin, how terrible this New York Journal thing is, and reminisce about their own private elopement. It’s agreed that a dive bar in the back woods of Rhinebeck, NY is a great place to destroy the lyrics to "Benny and the Jets" and fall for someone. (more…)

Kathleen Meets Joe: You’ve Got Mail Jan 09, 2017

Show notes

This week on You Had Me at Hello, Joey and Amanda watch the modern classic, Norah Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail, and toast Kathleen and Joe with 152 Insights, our special cocktail of the week. This movie has everything: the Cranberries, Parker Posey, internet dates, mistaken identities, broken hearts, New York City, capitalism and a cute-as-hell golden retriever named Brinkley. Amanda cried three times and Joey, for what it’s worth, got super excited every time Brinkley was on screen. The discussion veers towards whether Kathleen and Joe stay in New York, how the hell Joe Fox, discount bookstore mogul, manages to get a #boatmodem and how all these early internet throwbacks bring back so many memories.
