Longtime friend-of-the-pod Colton joins Brian and Dan to briefly discuss a foundational romantic comedy, then dig into the divisive 2009 ensemble film. Just what everyone was asking for — an extended conversation about dating from three straight guys in their 30s. Join as they discuss Nora Ephron, Sex and the City, gender roles in romantic storytelling, the legitimacy of the respective film’s themes, the messiness of Bradley Cooper’s storyline, and their least favorite of the 50 states. Colton concludes with his strong and long-held beliefs on evaluating and comparing art.
