We know that Valentine's Day has come and gone a couple of weeks ago, but Texas decided to freeze and this podcast had to be delayed. However, this doesn't mean that we can't talk about our favorite romcoms and romance movies in a belated celebration of the holiday of love. This week, Felipe and Divya are joined by Ian, TIffany, and Dallas, and they discuss everything from the classics like The Notebook and Pride and Prejudice to modern films like To All The Boys I Loved Before. Not only movies, but we'll also debate our favorite and least favorite tropes and clichés, while also talking about the more problematic aspects of some pictures.
If you're in the mood for even more romantic content, tune in next week, because this is only part 1, and we still have a lot more to say about our most loved and hated romances!
