OM DENNE EPISODE
Jack and Nora are joined by film critic Hanna Flint to discuss #9 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Love and Basketball.

Pump up your Spalding, practice your follow-through, and let’s play ball (for your heart)!

Mysteries we still haven’t solved:
- Is Monica a Taurus?
- Why do people insist on categorizing romantic dramas as romcoms?
