26 Nov 2020 | You’ve Got Mail (feat. Justin and Corey) | 01:37:21 | |
Put a heaping helping of caviar garnish on your plate with a side of Cranberries sauce, because we’re covering ‘You’ve Got Mail’ on a special Thanksgiving edition of ‘You Should See The Other Guy.’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha are joined by Jenn and Samantha’s partners (Justin and Corey respectively) to discuss Nora Ephron’s pre-Y2K rom-com classic, to sing the praises of Parker Posey, and to wax poetic about the sound of a dial-up modem. Also somehow we imagine a movie featuring Carmen Sandiego training a manatee how to be an international art thief, so that’s fun, too. From our little podcast family to yours, have a happy and safe holiday!

Libby Hill (IndieWire, @midwestspitfire) also makes a (very) brief appearance.

Episode 44! We talk about the 1999 Julia Roberts / Hugh Grant rom-com ‘Notting Hill’ and ponder the fate of the celebrity post-COVID, the arc of Hugh Grant’s career, and ultimately the political failings of both Britain and the United States. (Don’t worry. We keep it as light as possible ... under the circumstances.)

17 Sep 2020 | An Ideal Husband | 01:03:08 | |
This is the 29th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy.’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha host it. We’re talking about ‘An Ideal Husband’ (1999). This is the part where I usually tell you who’s in it and what’s it about, but instead I can tell you that we address the following questions: 1) How would Oscar Wilde feel about the Coneheads? 2) What are “clapper drugs”? 3) Is Oscar Wilde responsible for The Kissing Booth franchise? (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’?

10 Sep 2020 | Love, Guaranteed | 01:15:52 | |
In this 28th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Samantha makes a bold but impossible promise, Sadie ties everything back to ‘Leap Year,’ and Jenn waxes poetic about the texture of a man’s sweater. That’s right: We’re talking about the 2020 Netflix rom-com ‘Love, Guaranteed,’ in which lawyer Susan Whitaker (Rachel Leigh Cook) helps ex-baseball player Nick Evans (Damon Wayans, Jr.) sue a dating site owned by lifestyle guru Tamara Taylor (Heather Graham) because he hasn’t fallen in love after nearly 1,000 dates in spite of the site’s guarantee. Which of the 900+ women should Nick have picked? What are the dead giveaways this movie wasn’t actually filmed in Seattle? And will you live forever if you listen to every episode of our podcast? Tune in to find out!

16 Jul 2020 | Always Be My Maybe (feat. Kayla Myers) | 01:12:13 | |
‘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.)

In this 37th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha discuss the 2010 ‘Scarlet Letter’ adaptation ‘Easy A,’ starring Emma Stone and company. In addition to making our queer case for some other girls, Jenn does her best Emma Stone impersonation. 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? You’ll have to listen to find out!

25 Apr 2020 | Bonus: The Uglier Truth (feat. Caroline Siede) | 00:53:41 | |
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.”)
| |||
07 May 2020 | The Proposal (feat. Abby Monteil) | 01:12:49 | |
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 eagles. Strap in.

21 Jan 2021 | Starship Troopers | 01:33:16 | |
‘You Should See The Other Guy’ goes to space as Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha explore Paul Verhoeven’s military satire ‘Starship Troopers.’ We discuss Dizzy’s amazing head of hair, Denise Richards’ sexuality, and of course fascism. At one point, Jenn says “ziggle zaggles” and we lose it. Also!

05 Nov 2020 | 10 Things I Hate About You | 01:07:33 | |
We tried to be thoughtful on this 35th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ but we just ended up being pensive instead. That’s right, we’re covering the endlessly quotable 1999 teen movie masterpiece ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ to distract ourselves from the nightmare that is American electoral politics. Julia Stiles! Heath Ledger! JoGoLe! It’s a great cast. Your faithful co-hosts Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha run the table gaming out various alternative coupling scenarios featuring boy genius Michael, but mostly — because our brains have turned into so much melted goo — we end up talking about the International Space Station, a proposed sequel to ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ entitled ‘Life of Scurvy,’ the status of teeth in Hollywood, and oh yeah, we also briefly stop being ‘You Should See The Other Guy’ and start being ‘Bourneheads,’ a podcast about the Bourne franchise that Sadie would like no part of.

Welcome to our ‘Kissing Booth 2’ bonus episode! Culture reporter Nancy Coleman (The New York Times) joins us to talk about her recent interview with Taylor Zakhar Perez, who plays Marco in the film. We do talk about the movie, focusing on Taylor Zakhar Perez’s performance, but please expect frequent digressions into the naming conventions of fried onion appetizers at chain restaurants, the bad behavior of theater kids, and the relative merits of Home Depot and Lowe’s. Enjoy!

25 Dec 2020 | A New York Christmas Wedding (feat. Elizabeth Simins) | 01:13:26 | |
Merry Christmas, listeners!

31 Dec 2020 | The Family Man | 01:36:37 | |
We send off 2020 with a Nicolas Cage-style bang in this, our 43rd full episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy.’ After a special emergency message from Jenn’s partner warning us not to go through with the podcast, Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha accept our current timeline and discuss the 2000 holiday fantasy rom-com ‘The Family Man’ — and then get lost talking about superhero movies for a while. But we pull it back to Cage and Leoni by the end, we promise! Thanks so much for all your support this year.

In this seventh episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha are in double trouble as they have to argue for both beautifully unhinged pop star Samantha James (Anna Faris) and the alliteratively-named Dusty Dinkleman (Chris Klein) in the 2005 rom-com ‘Just Friends,’ which stars Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart as estranged but now fortuitously-reunited high school besties.

Hello, friends! I forgot to turn off a particularly loathed setting in Zencastr so the audio gets a little muddy during cross-talk.

In this 27th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ your intrepid co-hosts alternate between declaring war on God and war on Marvel. Which will generate more controversy? Who can say? The movie at hand: ‘Keeping the Faith,’ a year 2000 rom-com in which a priest (Ed Norton) and a rabbi (Ben Stiller) compete for the same girl (Jenna Elfman). Will Sadie be able to look past her attraction to Ben Stiller to fulfill the purpose of the podcast? Tune in to find out!

Join us in Florence for this 26th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy’ in which the wonderful artist Liz Layton (https://www.liztheprophetess.com/) joins us to consider the 1985 romance film ‘A Room With A View.’ Do we think bookish aristocrat / fancy Squidward Cecil (Daniel Day-Lewis) will be a better partner for Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham Carter) than George (Julian Sands) during the forthcoming World Wars? Quite possibly! Do we think Freddy Honeychurch (Rupert Graves) is the hottest guy in the film? Most definitely! Put on your headphones, lace up your best bodice, and enjoy!

Samantha’s older sister joins us for this very special 45th episode all about the 1998 alternate timeline classic ‘Sliding Doors’ featuring Gwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah. Topics discussed: British accents, the relative sexiness of various hobbits, the Netflix sensation ‘Bridgerton’ and the Xenial micro-generation.
| |||
30 Apr 2020 | Moonstruck | 01:23:57 | |
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.

Blood is drawn. Loyalties are tested. But we do crown a winner. Pull up a chair and find out who reigns supreme over the “other guys.”

10 Dec 2020 | Bonus: Harper-iest Season (feat. Emily VanDerWerff) | 01:17:10 | |
Is Harper actually the best character in ‘Happiest Season’? Should she have been the protagonist? Special guest Emily VanDerWerff (Vox.com, Arden Podcast) sits down with a lonely Samantha to revisit the already discoursed-to-death lesbian Christmas rom-com for another hour and a half. We lay out a case for Harper, swap coming out stories, and worry about the state of art more generally. And then somehow, we end up discussing Amtrak, trans stuff, and the boutique 2017 horror film ‘It Comes At Night.’

15 Oct 2020 | Jennifer’s Body | 01:17:28 | |
In this 32nd episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Sadie, Samantha, and the eponymous Jennifer get all up in their queer, bisexual feelings about the 2009 horror comedy ‘Jennifer’s Body.’ Should “Needy” (Amanda Seyfried) have joined Jennifer (Megan Fox) in succubus-dom? 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!

21 May 2020 | Groundhog Day | 01:16:20 | |
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 ritualistic annual ceremony. (Yes, it’s real. Google it!) And maybe, just maybe, this episode turned out good enough that Samantha can finally escape her own personal time loop and record another one.

Topics include: ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ (of course), why bad rom-coms are still worth talking about, and a certain “dog hotel” movie that Samantha still isn’t sure actually exists. Enjoy!

In this sixth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha try (and perhaps fail) to position the bread-denying Dean (Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman) above broad-shouldered New Zealand contractor Jake (Adam Demos) in the 2019 rom-com ‘Falling Inn Love,’ which stars Christina Milian as a San Francisco designer whose Peloton might be possessed.

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 predictable your trio of co-hosts have become, pulling back the curtain so far you’ll never be able to listen to the show the same way again. So put on four T-shirts at once and press play. Let’s party, bb!

We take several detours to CinemaCats.com, consider once again wonder how 2000s rom coms got so bad, and praise the film’s many sweaters.

Your intrepid co-hosts thought that ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ (1997) for would be a fairly easygoing trip down memory lane. They weren’t prepared for all the questions it raised on this, the 24th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy.’ Questions like: Why is Julia Roberts playing a 27-year-old who acts as though she has the life experience of a 45-year-old? To whence does Cameron Diaz abscond to for the middle third of this movie? And did space aliens write this screenplay after observing human behavior for one day? We don’t have answers but we do have thoughts! Listen along with us.

We’re talking the 2013 zombie rom-com (zom-rom-com?) ‘Warm Bodies’ starring Nicholaus Hoult as a zombie named ‘R’ and Teresa Palmer as a woman named Julie who is also the daughter of the film’s most important character: A MAN BY THE NAME OF COLONEL GRIGIO PLAYED BY JOHN FREAKING MALKOVICH. We talk about eating brains, the mechanics of zombie digestion, Korean cinema, Resident Evil, and more. Enjoy! (And remember to rate us on Apple Podcasts and follow us on Twitter @YSSTOG!)

03 Dec 2020 | Happiest Season (feat. DeAnne Smith) | 01:16:13 | |
In this 39th episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ comedian DeAnne Smith (Netflix’s ‘Comedians of the World,’ @DeAnne_Smith) joins Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha to discuss the zeitgeisty queer Christmas rom-com ‘Happiest Season’ starring Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, and Aubrey Plaza. Look, you can probably guess how we all feel about Harper and her collection of relationship red flags. (Not great.) But you’re probably not prepared for how funny DeAnne is on this episode — or for Sadie’s declaration that “Aubrey Plaza looks like she has had eyeballs for a thousand years and she knows how to use them.” This is truly our podcast at its apex. Listen, share, subscribe, rate, do all of it! Judge us based on this episode and this episode only. Other questions discussed include: Is Mackenzie Davis a beautiful space alien? Where did K. Stew get her aggressively deconstructed shirt? Should Dan Levy have been playing the actor Dan Levy instead of a man named John? Come listen and find out!

Pack your weekend bag and come with us to the Hamptons for a special 49th episode of YSSTOG in which we discuss the 2011 rom-com ‘Something Borrowed’ with pop culture critic (and returning guest) Caroline Siede. We compare the movie to ‘The Ugly Truth,’ rag on Shake Shack, and oh yeah, Sadie briefly gets haunted by a Zoom poltergeist. Enjoy! Patreon.com/YSSTOG and https://carolinesiede.tumblr.com/

27 Mar 2020 | Leap Year | 01:03:55 | |
In this fifth episode of ‘You Should See The Other Guy,’ Jenn, Sadie, and Samantha make the case for cardiologist Jeremy (Adam Scott) over rakish Irishman Declan (Matthew Goode) in the 2010 rom-com ‘Leap Year,’ which stars Amy Adams as a woman who anthropomorphizes her own luggage. (But mostly Samantha and Jenn torture Sadie over her unabashed and totally earnest love of the movie ‘Leap Year.’)

09 Dec 2020 | The Holiday | 01:20:18 | |
Polish your granite countertops and your oven ranges! Christmas is coming early this year, or at least this week’s episode is coming early! It’s our 40th! And we’re talking about the Nancy Meyers original The Holiday (2006) starring Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, and Jack Black. We discuss which pairing we like more, propose some longshot “other guys,” and debate whether or not this film is a classic (Sadie’s position) or an advertisement for interior redecoration (Samantha’s position). Caught in between is Jenn, trying to keep the peace amid the tension, like a middle child during the holidays. This is a delightful rambling episode that also covers, among other things, the Animorphs franchise and the Warrior Cats. And don’t worry, you’ll still have an episode this Thursday, too: A special bonus mini-sode featuring a returning special guest!

11 Jun 2020 | Scott Pilgrim vs. the World | 01:19:07 | |
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 and Samantha get into a big blowout fight over ‘Marriage Story’ (2019). Who will survive and who will explode into a pile of coins? You’ll have to listen to find out!
