JR's Take
Surprised by the film's quality and emotional depth
Praised the chemistry between the two leads
Appreciated the "reset button" dynamic in the couple's relationship
Notes the dark humor woven throughout
Recommends watching with a partner or fan of either lead actor
Verdict: Certified — go watch it, especially on HBO Max when it hits streaming
Show Notes
JR addresses the show's current transition, with co-host Stacy temporarily stepping back due to her workload. He thanks listeners for their continued support and hints at more solo episodes to come.
