This week Steve picked us out a RomCom - yes, Steve. And to make it extra special we doubled down on the redhead energy! We are joined by Tara's sister Emily and Emily's fiancée Randall (some of you may formally know him just as Randall) to discuss this early 2000s flick feat. Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan.

While Hugh Jackman brings the charm and the writing sprinkles in some comic play, does this RomCom hold up against some of the more notable ones of our generation? Did it get our juices flowing? Would we have followed the Duke back to his own time period? Does Steve just wish he was a Duke's wife who didn't have to worry about work?? We dive in....
