Rom Bombs

Ep 63 - My Secret Santa

Unlike Vanessa Williams, we went and saved the worst for last! In our final holiday episode (don't look at the upload date) we discuss "My Secret Santa," Netflix's return to form after 3 holiday original movies that were actually good. If you thought the heist in "Jingle Bell Heist" didn't make any sense, wait until you see how one mom attempts to save 50% on her daughter's snowboarding school tuition.Follow us on Bluesky!Theme Music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)

Ep 62 - Jingle Bell Heist

Another episode already?? Well, for one thing, E is trying to churn out the rest of these holiday episodes. For another thing, this episode is only half an hour long, because it turns out Jingle Bell Heist isn't actually a romcom and also we didn't have THAT much to say about it. But we did still have some things to say about it, and J wants credit for watching the movie. So enjoy this extra-short episode of Rom Bombs!Follow us on Bluesky!Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)

Ep 61 - Champagne Problems

Look, Christmas may TECHNICALLY be over, but E was lazy and we still have two more Netflix Holiday Movie episodes in the can after this one, so we're extending the holiday season a little bit. In this episode we discuss "Champagne Problems," the rare Christmas romcom whose title isn't a Christmas-related pun. Minka Kelly is sweet, a French guy is bad at communicating in ways that go far beyond a language barrier, and Flula Borg steals the show. Come for E's mediocre French pronunciations, stay for Chekhov's pants-shitting.Follow us on Bluesky!Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)

Ep 60 - Merry Little Ex-mas

Holiday romcom season has begun once again! Okay, it actually began a month ago, but E has been too busy to edit any episodes until now. This year Netflix is blessing us with FOUR holiday romcoms (or THREE depending on how you count them), so the next few weeks will be busy. For our inaugural holiday 2025 episode we're talking "Merry Little Ex-mas," a lovers-to-exes-back-to-lovers movie that somehow makes the trope work. Join us as we discuss our newfound love of Pierson Fode, stay for another classic "E hallucinates a character name" blunder.Follow us on Bluesky @rombombs!Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes (Xmas remix by E)

Ep 59 - The Wrong Paris

Netflix romcoms starring former Disney Channel child stars are back, baby! In this episode we discuss The Wrong Paris, a new Miranda Cosgrove vehicle that parodizes reality dating shows. And J has THOUGHTS about what they got wrong and what they got right. Along the way we also discuss:-Whether spraying yourself in the face with a hose can be sexy-Too much abs?-The nature of the Hulk's genitals-Werewolves and partial werewolves-The Man of La ManchaFollow us on Bluesky!Theme music: "Our Big Adventure" by Scott Holmes
