This week on Every Rom Com, Jen and Cybil take on the 2005 lesbian love story, “Imagine Me & You”, which begins at a wedding with a fateful glance between the bride and the wedding florist. Though Jen and Cybil find the film lacking in both chemistry and research on florists, the episode features hilarious commentary, a discussion on love at first sight including a strange never-before-told story from Jen, and research on flower meanings that writer/director Ol Parker seems to have neglected. We finish up with a discussion of female sexual fluidity and a collection of double feature recommendations with love stories that will actually satisfy during Pride month and all year long.

This week Every Rom Com would like to cordially request the pleasure of your company as Jennifer Howell and Cybil Solyn celebrate the beginning of our wedding series! We’re starting off with 2009’s “The Proposal”, a Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds fake-dating classic, which is also one of the highest-grossing romantic comedies of all time! Along the way we discuss a rom com dog, proposal stories, a problematic scene that was somehow never widely critiqued, and whether Sandra Bullock is in fact the queen of all rom coms! Please RSVP yes to this destination wedding, and let us know what other wedding movies you’d like to see from us in the future!

This week on Every Rom Com we’re wrapping up the Gen-X Rom Com Series with what might be director Kevin Smith’s greatest film - “Chasing Amy.” Serena and Jen are joined by Ed Cunard, co-host of the must-listen karaoke podcast, The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly), who shares his knowledge of comic book culture and even breaks out into a bit of (not-poor) singing. And as usual we dive into the making of the film, discuss the cast and crew, and give our opinions on the movie’s portrayal of sexuality and relationships.

0:00-9:45 Introduction, Introducing Ed Cunard, co-host of The Greatest Song Ever Sung Poorly

Information on Guest Host, Ed Cunard:

Co-host, editor and chief researcher for the podcast "The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly)," Ed Cunard comes by his catholic knowledge of all things music honestly--he's oddly two degrees of separation away from a lot of old school musicians through his grandparents. The biggest gap in his musical education is how to actually make music that doesn't sound awful. When not singing in bars, he works as Director of Operations for a sales company, which almost makes sense with all those English degrees he's still paying for. He lives in the middle of nowhere with nine cats and two dogs.

We’ll talk about love at first sight, and ponder whether main characters Clarence and Alabama have found true love or something else.

This week on Every Rom Com we enter the grunge era, as we revisit Seattle with Cameron Crowe’s “Singles.” It was a much different time for dating, and Sophia and Jen wax nostalgic on the old tech they did use (landlines and answering machines) and marvel at the wacky tech they never got a chance to use (video dating!!!) We contemplate whether one lead character would have been better off dating their plastic surgeon, and disagree on whether Campbell Scott seems creepy. Finally, we give you a slew of double features, and some more Seattle locations to add to the previous list we made for “10 Things I Hate About You”! Join us for this trip down memory lane to a time when the music was rocking and the shirts were flannel!

Cool J; and talk about how confronting death can help us discard our fears and realize our dreams. We’re joined this episode by Jen’s brother and Luna’s husband, Ishtar, who brings the perspective of his own spiritual practices and readings to our discussion!

0:00-12:09 Introduction, Introducing Ishtar Howell, Updates on Luna’s Life, What Are Your Favorite Christmas Movies?

Ishtar has lived a rich and strange life. The main catalyst is perhaps the NDE experienced at age 13, which over the next few years contributed to a serious interest in spirituality, the adoption of various spiritual practices, and entering an ashram at age 18. While the sense of inner wholeness has been the focus, “things rich and strange” came along for the ride in the form of precognitive seeing, telepathy, ghosts, lucid dreams, and the wild and improbable manifestation of desires. For Ishtar, synchronicity is a very real happening beyond the explanatory framework of chance. These days, Ishtar lives in Portugal with Luna, teaching meditation and providing astrological readings.

This week on Every Rom Com we’ll have you at hello as we break down the 1996 Cameron Crowe film, “Jerry Maguire.” We’ll show you the money the film made, share behind the scenes tidbits, and perhaps make you rethink whether one of the film’s most famous romantic scenes really completes you. We’ll also welcome our first ever man on the podcast - artist, author and adventurer Ryan Estrada - who’s on a quest to figure out why he loves this movie, despite not really caring for Tom Cruise, Cameron Crowe films, or football. All this and more on our 25th episode!

0:00-11:40 Introducing Guest Host, Ryan Estrada

Ryan Estrada is an author, artist, and adventurer, who has done so many things that in this intro, he will only mention those things related to rom-coms. He is the co-author of the award-winning, best-selling graphic novel Banned Book Club, and is currently working on a sequel for Penguin Books that he pitched as “Love Actually” meets “Persepolis.” He worked with DC Comics on The Kind, a rom-com graphic novel about a werewolf trying to date between two full moons. He’s told his own non-fiction story Self Offload: A RomCom Gone Wrong on many shows and stages, about the time he got off an airplane for love and accidentally shut down an airport and was locked up as a potential terrorist. All of this and more can be found at ryanestrada.com. He also did voiceover work on one of the worst Bollywood movies ever made, Aap ka Suroor: the Moviee: the Real Luv Story.
