Coming off of last week's episode regarding "Along Came Polly", the podcast was inundated with messages regarding the man who is rumored to have inspired Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, Sandy Lyle in the film. So this week, we bring to you an exclusive interview with Steve, college housemate of the film's director, John Hamburg; past performer of Judas in a community theater production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and former habitue of the NYC pick-up basketball scene. Take a listen to Steve's story and draw your own conclusion as to whether or not this tie is real or imagined.

Plus, Anne reveals something about her past that even Crissy never knew. It's a week of reminiscing and revelations!

You definitely want to take a listen to this one!

This week will once again have you shaking your head at what goes on in this world. We start with the story of a man who broke into a convenience store but left something intentionally behind. Plus, we had the story of a new bill being proposed to lessen prisoners' sentences in exchange for what??? And the culprit in a string of animal kidnappings from a Dallas zoo has finally been found.

And after much debate, we chose the final "Sweetheart" of our "America's Sweetheart" month - Jennifer Aniston. We discuss her comedy with Ben Stiller, "Along Came Polly". Do you know which of Jen's co-stars was the only man she did more than one film with? (up until she just reunited with Adam Sandler in "Murder Mystery 2" - which is on Netflix so not sure that even counts)

February was a quick one. Hope you loved these episodes as much as we did.

Thanks for listening!

Though this week we talk about the most "America's Sweetheart" of all the Sweethearts, Julia Roberts, one news story really stole the show. Anne was so outraged by this story that she nearly hyperventilated. It has to do with a wedding, the best man and his wife and that's all you'll get out of this description. The second story this week has to do with a woman who rebuffed a man's romantic overtures, agreed to go to therapy with him for 2 years (!) to discuss why she only saw him as a friend and after all that, he sued her. Think about it - that was the second most outrageous story this week. I mean the first one is a real doozie!

Plus, we discuss "Notting Hill," the romantic comedy that paired Julia with Hugh Grant. Not sure the movie held up over time but it did bring up an interesting thought - does it matter if Julia has chemistry with any of her leading men? Are they just appendages to her star power? See what we have to say about it.

According to "Horse and Hound" magazine ("Notting Hill" reference), this podcast gets 5 stars. So rate and review!

Is there anyone alive who doesn't like Sandra Bullock? This week we take a look back at her rom-com history with a focus on the one that arguably put her on the America's Sweetheart map, "While You Were Sleeping". Is everything about this movie unrealistic - from the basic premise to fact that Bill Pullman gets the girl? Yes. Do we still love it? Yes, yes we do. And see if you agree that "The Proposal", another Bullock classic, basically took the plot of this film, changed a few things and no one seemed to notice ( could have been called "While You Were Sleeping We Stole the Plot of This Film".)

Plus, we have not one but two stories about pigeons (one a victim of a Michael Bay film, the other, a drug mule or in this case, drug pigeon). And we talk about the man who spent thousands of dollars to have a very realistic wolf suit made so he could escape human relationships. You can't make this up.

Please say "I do" to this week's ep and take a listen!

For one month (the shortest one at that), Anne is allowing Crissy to pick the films. So get ready for a month of America's Sweethearts in their most notable rom-coms. First up is perhaps the Grand Poobah of them all, Meg Ryan and her classic, "When Harry Met Sally". If the film were titled, "When Anne Met Harry", it would have been a short as she feels nothing but irritation for him. But we discuss Meg's best leading men, if men and women can in fact be friends and also one of her lesser known films, "Joe vs the Volcano". It's jam packed.

Plus we cover all the news you may have missed this week such as the Florida burglars who called the police on themselves, a man given quite the value meal at a drive thru McDonalds and Mississippi toddler who ate the family pet (none of the blame goes to the toddler).

We have a lot of love for this one - hope you do too!

Thank you for listening,

This week we have outrage a-plenty and in this case, it's aimed at our guest! Our very wonderful friend, Sydney suggested we watch "Fun with Dick and Jane," the 2005 Jim Carrey/Tea Leoni film. So naturally we invited her on the podcast to talk about it. Well, none of us could have predicted the outrage that Anne decided to launch in Sydney's direction for the audacity of suggesting the film. It's something.

Plus, patients of a medical practice receive a very traumatic holiday message...by mistake! A plane headed to Sydney winds up in Samoa (find out what happened next) and a woman on a New Delhi flight gets a very warm surprise - not a good one.

It's an episode packed with big feelings. Let us know how you feel about it!

Thank you for listening,

Unless you've been living under a pop culture rock, you have no doubt seen or heard about the surprise box office hit, "M3gan". You know, the one with the doll with the killer dance moves and the killer instinct? This week we are beyond thrilled to have one of the stars of the film, Jen Van Epps on the podcast! Jen fills us in on this little movie that could - surpassing all box office expectations to be only second to "Avatar" several weeks running. We find out the inside scoop on the filming, the technology and people that brought M3gan to life and how moving to New Zealand changed the course of Jen's acting career for good. Jen is a sheer delight, the movie is highly entertaining and this episode is one not to be missed!

Plus, can you guess which post on Instagram just became the most liked in the world? Hint: It's not M3gan, but give it time, it could be.

We usually thank you for listening but this week, you might want to thank us :) It's a good one!

Two weeks in a row and "That's Outrageous" is reviewing another good movie - though as Anne says, all the movies we review are good to somebody. The object of our adoration is arguably a classic, "Moonstruck". Famous lines from this movie come fast and furious and it would be hard to find anything not to like (Anne does find exactly one thing though - and you'll never guess what it is).

Plus, we talk about the miraculous survival story of a couple who's car went off a California road and plummeted 300 feet, the story of a crazed Argentinian fan who hijacked a bus to see his country play a World Cup match and the young Nigerian immigrant who is making big moves in the chess world.

We are definitely on a roll to start the year and I hope we don't "snap out of it!"

Thank you for listening!
