A Gentlemen's Guide to Rom-Coms

Triumphant return??

Are you coming back? Don’t tease me with these holiday movie reposts 🫣

I love the balance this podcast strikes of having fun with this genre of movies that is intended to be relaxing, light, and a good time; with intelligent musing about personal experiences of love, growth, and self-discovery. Sad to have only found this now that these two are busy with there own movie project (CONGRATS!!!) but glad there is such a large library of episodes for me to go through until they (hopefully) get back to this project.

I love listening to Ryan and Kelly every Sunday on my way to work! They are so thoughtful in their reviews and I love that I feel like I’m hanging out with friends every time I listen.

I love RomComs. I love Ryan and Kelly. I love this podcast. Every Sunday is such a treat

Literally the Best RomCom podcast! These gents give us the love. Love of cinema, love of their families, love of their friendship, love of support… Just a couple of creatives genuinely enjoying movies and each other’s company. There aren’t enough stars 11/10 DO recommend!

I’m a woman in my early 20s, so when I started listening to this podcast, I was nervous that some of my favorite movies would be treated unkindly, as can happen so often with romcoms. They WEREN’T. It’s so fascinating to hear them dissect these films from a filmmaker’s perspective, and Kelly and Ryan are just so kind and thoughtful towards the genre in general. Will definitely be joining the Patreon after several weeks of binging this podcast.

If you want a little escape from the general bummer that is the reality many of us live in, look no further than this show! Insightful commentary, playful banter and thoughtful discussions await!

This podcast gives me the same happy and excited feeling I use to get when I was little and would wake up to Saturday morning cartoons. Every Sunday feels like my own personal, RomCom holiday, where I get to hear about film and laugh along with my good friends Ryan and Kelly.

Keep this going forever! I love your friendship and the deep love for the genre you two bring!

Kelly and Ryan are, above anything else, honest and passionate. Their love for their craft and devotion to their friendship makes for a fun and enjoyable podcast sprinkled with niche movie references (real ones know) and accessible inside jokes. Their segments are clever and fun. While it can do with some polishing, this is a fantastic podcast and easily accessible to a beginner to romcoms like myself. I have certainly enjoyed the episodes to movies I already know, and I am encouraged to compete... more

I just discovered Kelly and Ryan through their guest episode of PS I Love Rom Coms. They are so well-spoken and dig deep into each movie in such interesting ways. I love that they are fans of Erin Carlson’s I’ll Have What She’s Having book.

I was surprised that they gave Annie a pass for stalking in Sleepless in Seattle but pointed it out as a problem in While You Were Sleeping—but their arguments were so convincing that I realized I agreed with them. I’m looking forward to listening to more b... more

I look forward to this podcast so much every week! Ryan and Kelly are both filmmakers and their discussions interesting, nuanced, and humorous. I appreciate learning to look at movies from the production side, it provides a whole new dimension on which to enjoy them.

You’ll laugh, you’ll learn about filmmaking, and you may just fall in love with these two best friend filmmakers (Ryan & Kelly) as they geek out on romance, movie history, and the details of what makes a rom-com a hit or a flop. Their positivity and genuine love for the genre is delightfully infectious.

Kelly and Ryan are so well spoken, so informed, and honestly so adorable. This podcast is not only entertaining, it makes me want to study film. Definitely a new favorite for me!
