People We Meet on Vacation: Rom-Coms Have a New Star SVU

Matt and Jordan see if Netflix's massive rom-com hit People We Meet on Vacation (starring "generational talent" Emily Bader) lives up to its 50-million-stream hype. Does the film successfully invert the When Harry Met Sally formula, or is it just a beautiful travelogue hampered by a "charisma vacuum"? Later, Jordan recommends an under-seen 2023 indie mafia drama, and Matt invites us to fall in love with a 1963 French New Wave short. Plus, a pair of listener-requested recommendations inspired by 1975's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three . Finally, Producer Sam challenges Jordan's 3-0 winning streak in a high-stakes game of "Full Service." (Timecodes/chapters may not be precise with ads.)
