Episode 66: Bridget Jones 4 -- Mad About the Boy

Romcomathon ·

2025/02/26

Romcomathon ·

2022/02/17

In which we celebrate our 50th episode and Valentine's Day with our favorite romantic comedy! Also, please note that we wondered aloud in this episode whether any of Neil Simon's many plays had been adapted to film... I mean, surely, right??
