Show notes:

 

June is the beginning of big-time wedding season in the UK so when better to compare and contrast these two multi-wedding-themed rom-coms? The watchword for this month’s episode is COMMITMENT.

 

In this episode we reference Friends With Benefits (2011) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1632708/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) and No Strings Attached (2011) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411238/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), which were the subject of our fifth episode. Charles Adrian also mentions the TV show Greenleaf (which he loves) (2016-2020) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4971144/).

 

In July, we will be watching DIRTY DANCING!!!!!!!! (1987) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
