Laura and Em dive deep into a topic that touches most of us at some point in our lives: first dates and the ultimate way to sabotage them! Inspired by Em’s recent failed first date experience involving a surprising horror film, they're compiling the definitive list of movies you should never watch with a new romantic prospect.

You'll hear:

• The horror movie that killed the mood
• A rom-com that forces "the talk"
• The comedy that could make you hate men
• The ultimate anti-marriage movie

This episode will have you laughing, nodding in agreement, and maybe even feeling a little wary of all men! But don't worry, we’ll try our hardest to suggest a movie that is actually nice about men.
Don't forget to bookmark this episode for the next time you're planning a date!

On the show today, Em’s diving into Predator: Badlands — the new chapter in the iconic sci-fi franchise that’s taken a whacky turn she never saw coming.

Then, our entertainment writers drop by to share their weekend picks. One of which is a haunting drama featuring two of our very favourite actors.

And finally, Squid Game: The Challenge is back. But can a real-life version of the world’s most dangerous game live up to the phenomenon that started it all? We’ve got thoughts.

Paddington: The Musical has officially opened on the West End, and yes, that bear has absolutely tugged at our heart‑strings. In fact one of us in particular might just have gotten teary at the trailers.

And newly single Nina Dobrev’s Halloween costume might just be the sneakiest celeb breakup shade we’ve seen this year. But that got us thinking about the pettiest celeb split moments of all time. We’re ranking the one‑upmanship, the look‑what‑I‑did posts and the clap‑backs no one saw coming.

Plus, Reese Witherspoon has gone on record about why she thinks modern romance is in free‑fall We’re reacting (and no, we aren’t sure we agree) — and we might just have planned our own rom‑com revival while we’re at it.

We trace Jen's romantic timeline, from her post-Brad Pitt "defibrillator" Vince Vaughn to her quiet marriage with Justin Theroux.
