Talk Isn't It Romantic To Me

Published: Feb. 26, 2019, 5:02 a.m.

After realizing that they're not quite smart enough to hold an informed discussion of Alfonso Cuarón's Roma as a topical choice for Academy Awards week, Luke and Rachel just settled for a genre with "roma" in the name: romantic comedies! (Get it? ROMAntic comedies? Luke is very excited for this dumb joke.) More specifically, a spoof of romantic comedies that also manages to be a romantic comedy itself. But is it too much of a romantic comedy for Luke, who isn't a fan of the genre? Is it too much like a shockingly similar yet very successful recent episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? Or, does Isn't It Romantic really work as well as the trailer suggests? Who knows! Well, actually Luke and Rachel know. That's why you're here, right? You better just press play already.
