Make Out Already

Show Notes

Hi Smooches! I'm Meg and this is Make Out Already. While my co-host Liz is out of office taking care of brand new Baby Liz, I invited our friend Bryson on to talk about a trio of rom-coms: You People, Your Place or Mine, and Ghosted. All three came out this year and are streaming now. Bryson, in addition to watching just about every movie that comes out, also hosted Liz and I for an episode about the Romance genre on his very own podcast, The Pretty Good Podcast by Crabicurious.com. Stay tuned as we take a journey through the hellscape of recent rom com releases. Spoilers ahead!

Hi friends! We’re stopping by to drop off a little treat — some books that feel like summer to us. Whether they’re literal beach reads, scandalous soap opera style dramas, or sci fi horror romance with that claustrophobic, sweaty feeling, we’ve got some of everything.

Hi Smooches! Happy New Year. Thanks for riding out a weird and wobbly 2024 with us. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just tuning in, Meg and I are grateful for you. Now, we don’t know about you, but we have a pretty good feeling that you’ve been feeling some rage lately. So let’s process that together. We’re recapping the horror rom-com Your Monster, with special guest Deanna. Spoilers ahead!

Hi Smooches! Liz here. On today’s episode, I’m telling Meg about one of my favorite books of the year, definitely in the top 3 and possibly my book of the year. It’s a dark rom-com between a black cat trauma nurse, and a golden retriever thirst trap creator who is more than a little obsessed with her. It’s a book that asks, what if the obsessed stalker hero is actually so babygirl? We’re talking about Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Spoilers ahead. And if you’d like a mood playlist for this book, we made you one!: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7DnobOug3shqCHuPUGDO3x?si=keegKl2CTiaPh-TdgWRS7w
