   What's Your Number?

   In this episode, Hailey and Javi dive into the 2011 romantic comedy What's Your Number?, starring Anna Faris and Chris Evans, and unpack the messy, hilarious, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about sex, dating, and relationships hiding beneath the romcom clichés. From body counts, virginity, and society’s double standards for men and women to the ways alcohol can lead to regrettable decisions, we explore how personal values and societal expectations shape our experiences with intimacy. We also discuss fake accents, basketball culture in romantic comedies, lavender marriages, and the ever-evolving world of dating advice, including Canada's dating coach Chantel Heidi. Then things get especially interesting as we venture into polyamory! What does it mean to be polysaturated? How can you be a good wingman for your own partner? And what does it actually mean to be a responsible hinge in kitchen-table polyamory? We get into the complicated dynamics between metamours, who’s responsible for maintaining those relationships, and the importance of knowing when to step back and relinquish control. Whether you're monogamous, polyamorous, somewhere in between, or just here for the questionable romantic decisions, join us for a conversation about sex, love, expectations, and figuring out what healthy relationships look like on your terms. Because apparently, one romcom can lead to A LOT of relationship discourse. https://www.instagram.com/justbepolypodcast/

   Made Of Honor

   In this episode, Hailey and Javi discuss the 2008 rom-com Made Of Honor. They explore an array of topics: From the enduring appeal of Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan to the psychology of stalkers, how Robert Pattinson drove away his own stalker, and the surprisingly fascinating real-life history of Casanova (and his constituents). We get into the art and life of Modigliani, examine the role of basketball and what it seems to represent among men in 2000s rom-coms, and take a cosmic detour into astrology and the infamous Saturn Return. There's also plenty of personal chaos along the way with Javi's suave nose-picking, as well as Hailey's crush on ER Fightmaster. Expect polyamorous themes around boundaries, new relationship energy (NRE), as well as social commentary on tradition, societal expectations/norms, marriage, and family to arise as well, of course. https://www.instagram.com/justbepolypodcast

   John Tucker Must Die

   Hailey and Javi revisit the 2005 rom-com John Tucker Must Die and discover that there’s much more to unpack than Y2K fashion and girl boss revenge. They discuss the fantasy vs. reality of high school, wealth and class in the US school system, and how our perspectives on movies change as we grow older. They also dive into Hailey’s real-life “John Tucker,” honesty vs. transparency, self-worth and feeling chosen, the power of saying no, job shopping vs. job hunting, toxic masculinity, bringing new partners into a home with children, how breakups can affect polycules, and was John Tucker cheating on Kate the entire time?
