Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Moonstruck (1987) with The Theater Lovers
Q: What is your relationship to Rom Coms?
I'm a big fan. I think it's much more difficult to pull off than people give it credit for.
Moonstruck (1987) with The Theater Lovers
Q: What is your relationship to this film specifically?
I first saw it as an adult, and I feel like if I had seen it as a teenager, it would have become my whole personality.
Harold and Maude (1971) with William Webb
Q: Will you want to guess the IMDb rating?
I'm going to give it 7.6 because I think the teens on IMDb are not going to enjoy it.
Harold and Maude (1971) with William Webb
Q: What is your relationship to Rom Coms?
I grew up watching Rom Coms nonstop because I have a single mom.
Crazy Rich Asians (2018) with Karen K. Ho
Q: Were you following the movie as it was going along, or was this assigned to you?
It was actually very funny; I recommended seeing BD Wang in a small theater, which caught the attention of the editors at GQ, leading to my involvement with the project.
