We’re wrapping up Marathon May by inviting our friend who suggested year’s theme of time travel romances, Lara! She introduces us to Somewhere in Time, an ethereal movie that seems to have been filmed through an Instagram filter. In this episode Katie calls in from a nursing home, express our disappointment with this film’s ending, and pitch a new gender-swapped 80s movie someone should definitely be making.

In this episode, Katie reveals a secret about watching superhero movies, we discuss the Royal Wedding and the current and former hotness of the princes, Wesleigh tries to explain Lovebürger, and some cute puppers join us for the recording!

In this episode, we find long-forgotten pieces of pop culture, wonder why there are so few women time travelers, and discuss what we’d do if we could relive moments of our past.
