The movie
Show notes
Is the friend zone a real place, or just a 2005 plot device designed to let Ryan Reynolds wear a fat suit? This week, we are revisiting the holiday rom-com Just Friends. For our Ryan, this movie is a nostalgic slam dunk that he quotes regularly, but his wife... let’s just say she thinks Chris Brander is a bit too "cocky" to be likable. Join us as we break down Ryan Reynolds' transition from his Van Wilder era to leading man status, debate whether Anna Faris’s manic pop star energy is the best part of the film (spoiler: she drank a lot of Red Bull), and try to figure out why everyone in New Jersey drives with their windows down in the dead of winter. We also uncover a depressing alternate ending that thankfully stayed on the cutting room floor and discuss what we think happened to Chris Klein. Does this movie still crack us up, or has it aged like a burnt batch of Christmas cookies? As always, don’t miss out on the Retro Ramble, Stale Popcorn and Gum Under The Seat If you're a millennial who grew up quoting this movie, or just love a good nostalgic conversation, then this is the podcast for you!
