  • Revisiting Rob Reiner's 'The Princess Bride' with Meg Mansell

    Revisiting Rob Reiner's 'The Princess Bride' with Meg Mansell
    Dec 19 2025
    A re-release of one of my favorite episodes, in memory of Rob Reiner, whose direction gave us one of the most enduring love stories of all time. Some movies don’t just entertain you. They quietly shape who you become. This week on Hopeless Romantics, we’re revisiting The Princess Bride with Meg Mansell, a film that taught us about love, loyalty, humour, and why “as you wish” hits harder than it ever should. We talk about watching it as kids, rewatching it as adults, and how different the story feels once you’ve lived a little. From Buttercup and Wesley’s version of true love, to the heartbreak and purity of Inigo Montoya and his father, this conversation goes far beyond fairy tales and sword fights. We also unpack how romance changes with age, why anxiety once passed for butterflies, and how friendship, safety, and humour end up mattering more than grand gestures.

  • Revisiting the Cosy Christmas Romance of 'You've Got Mail'

    Revisiting the Cosy Christmas Romance of 'You've Got Mail'
    Dec 9 2025
    This week we’re diving deep into the warm, nostalgic chaos of You’ve Got Mail with Tash Stamos, a certified pop-culture obsessive and fellow rom-com tragic. We rewind to that golden era of cinema when Meg Ryan ruled our hearts, Tom Hanks somehow became everyone’s dream man, and dial-up internet felt like the height of romance. Together we unpack the scenes that ruined us emotionally, the cosy New York that probably never existed, and the sheer magic of watching two people fall in love before smartphones made everything… less magical. We also get into the wild debates: is Joe Fox a charming anti-ghoster or an absolute menace? Is Parker Posey the underrated queen of the film? And does You’ve Got Mail still set the bar for rom-com endings? If you’re due for a rewatch or you’ve simply forgotten how good it feels to cry at a perfectly delivered Nora Ephron line, this episode is your sign.

  • 'Champagne Problems' ... The Review Nobody/Everybody Asked For

    'Champagne Problems' ... The Review Nobody/Everybody Asked For
    Dec 6 2025
    We’re back with another round of our Netflix Christmas film deep dives, and this week Alice James jumps in with us to unpack Champagne Problems. Honestly, this one had us in our feelings. It’s way better than your average festive cheese, which somehow makes judging it on our chaotic little matrix even funnier. We get into everything from Minka Kelly’s unreal skin to the dangerously hot lead who had at least one of us 'sliding off the couch'. There’s snow, there’s champagne, there’s a tiny fart in a cute knit, and there’s Roberto, who absolutely steals the show… and maybe our hearts. We break down the movie category by category, debate the gift-giving crimes, admire the Paris backdrop and yes, we absolutely give bonus points for men crying with their dads. A Christmas miracle if ever there was one. Come hang out, have a laugh, and add Champagne Problems to the list. It’s a beauty.
