Romantic comedies taught us that love is a grand gesture away, that opposites attract, and that the underdog always gets the girl. But real life? Not so much. In this episode, we dive into the romance films that shaped our unrealistic expectations about love. Miles chose Pretty in Pink, the classic teen drama about class, longing, and questionable love interests. Katy picked When Harry Met Sally, the rom-com that convinced us friendship inevitably leads to romance. Were we misled? Absolutely. Do we still love them? Of course.

Katy defends The Force Awakens. Miles stands by The Empire Strikes Back. And somewhere in the middle, we argue about Jar Jar Binks.
