Show notes:

In this episode we get lost in the weeds of our synopsis, sail through the meet-cute, obstacles and happy ending, and land on the one thing that would make this film better.

We mention the TV show Pretty Little Liars (2010-2017), in which Janel Parrish played Mona Vanderwaal. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Little_Liars and watch Charles Adrian talk to Vera Chok about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exrw-iaYTxk.

We also mention the TV shows Golden Girls (1985-1992) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Girls), Bridgerton (2020) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgerton) and Never Have I Ever (2020) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Have_I_Ever_(TV_series)), the film She’s All That (1999) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She%27s_All_That) and the novel that sparked a thousand rom coms: Jane Austin’s Pride And Prejudice (1813) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice).
