In this week's podcast, fangirl Jillian and her husband Tyler dive into the timeless romance of The Notebook. (SPOILERS for the 2004 movie The Notebook)
It's Tyler's first time watching this classic and he's got some crazy theories! From its cultural impact to the unforgettable love story at its core, they discuss everything that makes this film iconic. We break down character dynamics (including Ryan Gosling's beard), love triangles (was James Marsden the right choice?!), kisses in the rain, and the emotional weight of Noah and Allie’s journey that still hits today. Jillian's got behind-the-scenes trivia about casting, auditions, and the real-life chemistry between Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. There's plenty of nostalgia and surprising revelations as we remember why The Notebook still makes us swoon today.
