Champagne Problems (Netflix movie)

We are heading to Paris to acquire a chateau with absolutely zero business strategy, all while dodging being taken and yelled at for using Google Maps. But before we sip the bubbly, we simply must discuss Michelle Yeoh’s obsession with her "Madame Morrible" fingers and James Cameron threatening to punish us with a novel if we don't watch Avatar.

On this week's date, we start with a heavy pop culture debrief. We break down the Wicked press tour memes, Quentin Tarantino’s chilly take that The Hunger Games is just a Battle Royale ripoff, and the Mike Flanagan cinematic universe expanding to Carrie and The Exorcist with Scarlett Johansson. Plus, we obsess over the hockey romance Heated Rivalry and any TV recs you can share.

Then, we get into Champagne Problems, a movie that refused to license the Taylor Swift song of the same name. We discuss the lack of chemistry, the insanity of making a lactose-intolerant protagonist eat a cheese board before a festival, and the complete lack of ROI in Sydney’s business pitches. We also celebrate Roberto as the only bright spot in a dull cast, question why Riley from Twilight is suddenly the villain, and try to figure out if the concierge was actually magic.
