Look, you can probably guess how we all feel about Harper and her collection of relationship red flags. (Not great.)

We also somehow reference the bartender from ‘The Shining’ and Emily Blunt’s family tree before stumbling onto the idea of Stanley Tucci as a five-armed Eldritch monster. How do we get there?

Because our guest, international male model Joseph Culp (IG: model_joseph_culp) picked it, that’s why. Joe helps Jenn, Samantha, and Sadie sift through the three brothers in this 36th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ But mostly, we talk about Bart the Bear, what Facebook would look like during the Civil War, Brad Pitt’s failed journalism career, the British Pop invasion, and more.

Julia Stiles! Heath Ledger! JoGoLe! It’s a great cast.

That’s the basic premise of this, the 34th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy.’ And yet in true tangential fashion we somehow end up talking about the terrible 2017 ‘Mummy’ remake and ... uh .... what it would look like for Bryan Cranston and Tilda Swinton to play Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively in a biopic about...

Should she have opted for emo kid Colin instead of her boyfriend Chip? Maybe! But mostly, we process our complex emotions about the core relationship in the film — and then somehow wind up talking about both ‘Spider-Man 2’ and a movie that Sadie swears exists called ‘Firehouse Dog.’ Enjoy!

Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) comes up with a ridiculous scheme to get back into his ex-wife Tracy Lord’s (Katherine Hepburn’s) life. Also in the mix: a struggling Spy magazine writer named Mike or Connor or Macaulay Culkin or something (Jimmy Stewart). We’re weird.

‘You Should See The Other Guy’ enters its dirty thirties with an extended look at a Nora Ephron classic: ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ (1993), in which a Baltimore Sun reporter named Annie (Meg Ryan) goes to Seattle to stalk a single father / widower named Sam (Tom Hanks) all the while ignoring her own incredibly hot fiance Walter (Bill Pullman). Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha dive deep into the movie, constructing the case for both Walter and Victoria, but they also free associate into considerations of the cultural milieu of the 1990s, the rise of TikTok, and Meg Ryan’s bisexual-baiting hair.

(Spoiler: Yes), 4) What would ‘An Ideal Husband’ look like if it were set in 2095 instead of 1895?, and 5) What animals would everyone be in ‘An Ideal Husband’?

For episode 23 of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ we brought back a special guest: the soft-spoken, bitingly funny, and keenly observant Abby Monteil. She helps us break down the Hulu time travel rom-com ‘Palm Springs’ (2020). There are various “other guys” to consider for both nihilistic goofball Nyles (Andy Samberg) and the rock-bottom-hitting Sarah (Cristin Millioti), and yet somehow we end up all over the place, gabbing about murder, eyebrows, and goats — as friends do when they get together to talk about movies. Also discussed: Andy Samberg’s marriage to the harp-playing genius Joanna Newsom and also theoretical physicist Clifford V. Johnson.

Back to regular episodes — and back to the zeitgeist! On this, the 22nd episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ we’re covering ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ (2020), which is currently #1 on Netflix. Should Elle have chosen dreamy guitar-playing hunk Marco Peña (Taylor Zakhar Perez) over brooding and dangerously tall Noah Flynn (Jacob Elordi)? Does it matter? Why is everyone at school so obsessed with Elle and the Flynns? Why do they act like theater kids without being theater kids? Is this movie trying to be a slapstick comedy? These questions and more will be explored upon your clickage of the “play” bu

Always Be My Maybe (feat. Kayla Myers)
‘You Should See The Other Guy’ turns 21 and so to celebrate, we reward ourselves with an actually good movie: The new-ish Netflix rom-com ‘Always Be My Maybe’ (2019) starring Randall Park and Ali Wong. We are joined by special guest Kayla Meyers (Programmer for Indie Memphis) to discuss the ultimate other guy: Keanu Reeves playing himself. But we also swap celebrity sightings, talk about food, and have some deep quarantine feels. So you should definitely, not maybe, listen to this episode. (I’m sorry.)

The Twilight Saga
It’s ‘Twilight’ time. For our twentieth episode, we pulled out all the stops and watched all five films in the Twilight Saga. Do we think pre-werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner) would be better for self-insert protagonist Bella Swan (K. Stew) than 107-year-old vampire Edward Cullen (R. Pats)? Yes! Do we also ponder the mechanics of vampire lovemaking, take deep dives into our shame-based religious upbringings (or the lack thereof), and laugh about the unintentionally comical CGI and sound effects in these movies? Also yes! (You should know that the full conversation about these movies lasted two and a half hours, but we...

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
Play this podcast! PLAY IT! In this nineteenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha discuss the surprisingly affecting Netflix musical ‘Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga’ (2020). We debate the relative merits of closeted operatic Russian pop star Alexander Lemtov (Dan Stevens) vs. middle-aged Icelandic dreamer Lars Erickssong (Will Ferrell) — but mostly we sing the praises of Sigrit Ericksdottir (Rachel McAdams) and beg the elves not to murder us. Also this week: we catch up on our long-neglected outro segment and go on lots of delicious tangents because we love to talk to each other...

Party Girl (feat. Lindsey B.)
Who better than a bona fide party person to help break down ‘Party Girl’ (1995)? In this eighteenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha are joined by makeup artist and former club kid Lindsey B. to discuss all things Parker Posey: her fashion, her bon mots, and, of course, her character’s astrological sign. (Scorpio or Virgo? You decide!) We also make the case for “himbo” DJ Leo (Guillermo Díaz) over the hot but boring falafel vendor / teacher-to-be Mustafa (Omar Townsend). But then our guest rocks the podcast with a bingo card that reveals just how predic...

Reality Bites (feat. Nico Lang and Christian Rogers)
In this seventeenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha are joined by journalist Nico Lang and artist Christian Rogers to unravel the many mysteries contained within the Gen X classic ‘Reality Bites’ (1994). Where do Vickie (Janeane Garofalo) and Sammy (Steve Zahn) go in act three? Why does a movie obsessed with the idea of “selling out” have so much product placement? And why — WHY, listener, WHY! — does Leleina (Winona Ryder) choose the perpetually damp-looking and generally unpleasant rocker Troy (Ethan Hawke) over funny and cute cable TV exec Michael (Ben Stiller)? Also discussed: a real-life encoun...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Get ready to be bi-furious! In this sixteenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha return to the hyperkinetic and relentlessly referential action romance ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ (2010) to explain why Mae Whitman’s Roxy Richter got such short shrift, and why none of them particularly like the characters of Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) and Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) despite generally being fans of their respective actors. But expect plenty of extracurricular talk, too: Your co-hosts talk about ASMR, mortality (duh!), food icon Guy Fieri, the state of bisexual media representation — and oh yeah, Sadie...

Romeo + Juliet and Gnomeo & Juliet
It’s a double feature, y’all! In this fifteenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha address two equally important cinematic milestones: Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Romeo + Juliet’ (1996) and the animated masterpiece ‘Gnomeo & Juliet’ (2011) Your intrepid co-hosts try to argue for the Parises (Paul Rudd and Stephen Merchant, respectively) over the Romeos (Young Leo and James McAvoy) as the better option for the Juliets (Claire Danes and Emily Blunt), but mostly they swoon over Mercutio, ponder the fragile corporeality of sentient garden gnomes, and reflect on the desperation of teenage love. And yes, dear listener, they *do* address...

The Kissing Booth
‘Clueless.’ ‘Mean Girls.’ ‘10 Things I Hate About You.’ These are a few of the teen movies you could see instead of ‘The Kissing Booth.’ And yet, you probably have seen ‘The Kissing Booth’ (2018), reportedly one of the most-viewed films in the world. In this fourteenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha sift through the cultural wreckage of this Netflix rom-com and argue for Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney) over his glowering bad boy of an older brother Noah (Jacob Elordi) as the better choice for Elle (Joey King).

Groundhog Day
In this thirteenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy’ (which, for Samantha, is actually the ten thousand and thirteenth episode because she is caught in a time loop on the day of recording), Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha make the case for lovable and unfairly maligned cameraman Larry (Chris Elliott) over misanthropic TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) in the beloved 1993 fantasy rom-com ‘Groundhog Day.’ But expect lots of tangents about Andie MacDowell’s unspeakable beauty, the perfection of the Happy Death Day franchise, and the secret society that keeps a groundhog alive forever by feeding it immortality juice in a ritua...

What If
In this twelfth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha dive deep into the 2014 rom-com ‘What If,’ in which med-school dropout Wallace (played by a fresh-off-‘Harry-Potter’ Daniel Radcliffe) and doe-eyed animator Chantry (played by a trying-hard-not-to-be-overly-twee Zoe Kazan) fall for each other despite being “just friends.” Left to the wayside are Chantry’s globetrotting UN boyfriend Ben (Rafe Spall) and her wacky sister Dalia (Megan Park), both of whom your intrepid co-hosts make a case for in this episode. But look, y’all. You know we only loosely stick to the premise, so expect a lot of tangents: W...

The Proposal (feat. Abby Monteil)
In this eleventh episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha are joined by special guest Abby Monteil (Insider.com) ostensibly so that they can all argue for Gertrude (Malin Åkerman) over Margaret (Sandra Bullock) in the 2009 rom-com ‘The Proposal,’ which stars Ryan Reynolds sporting the same haircut he has had for two decades. But the conversation quickly pivots to Abby’s subversive queer reading of ‘The Proposal’ and then, in a surprise twist, Jenn makes a last-minute case for a totally different “other girl.” Listener, you’re in for a treat. This episode has everything: Simps, eggs, and bald

In this tenth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha completely abandon the project of rehabilitating mama’s boy Johnny (Danny Aiello) in the 1987 classic ‘Moonstruck’ to swap Nicolas Cage impersonations, praise Cher’s gray streak, and call for a return to an era when rom-coms were this weirdly horny.

Bonus: The Uglier Truth (feat. Caroline Siede)
If you thought we were done talking about ‘The Ugly Truth,’ you were wrong! In this very special bonus episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha are joined by illustrious pop culture critic and A.V. Club contributor Caroline Siede to discuss her article “Is ‘The Ugly Truth’ The Worst Romantic Comedy Ever Made?” Also discussed: the alternate universe in which Ben Affleck plays Mike Chadway and the cultural power of rom-coms at their finest. (After listening, be sure to check out Caroline’s A.V. Club column “When Romance Met Comedy.”)

The Ugly Truth
In this ninth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha collectively grapple with the trauma of having witnessed the 2009 rom-com ‘The Ugly Truth,’ coming up with various conspiracy theories to explain its unfortunate existence. Sure, somewhere in there your intrepid co-hosts make an argument for the classically hot doctor-next-door Colin (Eric Winter) over chauvinistic shock jock Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), but mostly they try to make sense out of a cruel universe in which this movie is somehow real. Oh, yeah. Katherine Heigl’s in this, too, but she shouldn’t have been. No one should have...
