Two weeks have flown by, and it's time for Curtis Convos to jump back into action! In this episode focusing on 1999's Notting Hill, we continue to follow the intrepid adventures of Hugh Grant, who has moved to the titular location and is in fact a whole different character than he was in Four Weddings and a Funeral, although he conveniently shares all of the same looks and mannerisms.
This time he is in love with Anna Scott, a famous movie star played by famous movie star Julia Roberts (she must have had to dig deep for this one). But can a humble seller of travel books sustain a relationship with the most famous woman on Earth? With a rom-com job like that, he'll be fine!
Come join us as we celebrate the joy of watching a romance where both leads are actually three dimensional and we don't want them to run screaming away from each other. We're just a podcast, standing in front of an audience, asking them to listen to us.

Curtis Convos Episode 1: Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Happy October to you! The spooky season has begun, and so has our mini podcast of decidedly non-spooky movies. That's right, we're commencing with our collection of Curtis Convos, a sojourn into (some of) the films written by Richard Curtis.
First up is the big rom-com breakthrough for both Curtis and stalwart star Hugh Grant, Four Weddings and a Funeral. So many topics to be debated! Which wedding is best? Why don't our leads have any chemistry? Why isn't John Hannah in every movie? Most importantly, is it still raining? We really actually would like to know, please tell us, we wanted to have a picnic later today. Why won't you answer, Hugh?
Enjoy!

Ryan Romps Episode 6: When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Well, all good things must come to an end, and today marks the final episode of our Ryan Romps minicast. Never fear! We shall be back soon for the fall season with more rom-com discussion, but this is the last call for Meg herself. We're ending by traveling back to when it all really kicked off for her. That's right, we're talkin' When Harry Met Sally. The big one. If you haven't seen it, why are you reading this? Go watch it instead.
This is a movie that asks the real questions. Can men and women ever truly be friends? Yes, obviously. Can every type of food be ordered on the side? Apparently. Most importantly, is he ever going to leave her? Oh honey, no. These beloved characters may not have all the answers, but rest assured dear listeners, we do.
Listen in before you turn 40. It could happen any day now.
