I like “The Break-Up.” I went in expecting a romantic comedy, but it’s pretty dark. But it also has a lot of bits that ring true. Plus the great band the Old 97s have a cameo.

The Old 97s pop up in more movies than I realized! I loved their contributions to the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special.

Ann gets mad at Chris when he tries to solve all her problems and just wants him to acknowledge her problems (as a pregnant woman) and just say “Damn, that sucks”. My wife did the Leo pointing at the TV during this episode.

😂 Please watch White Men Can't Jump with your wife (if you haven't already) and let me know how she reacts.

This is the part where I admit that I haven't seen this movie but also ask how you felt about the remake despite having ow intimate knowledge of either piece of media other than reading the synopsis of /this/ movie roughly three months ago.

We don't speak about the remake in this house. 😂 I'm mad that it exists at all, but I'm even more mad that Jack Harlow plays Billy.

As a Louisville grad, I feel like I *should* support Harlow...but I just can't bring myself to do it.
