Infidelity, fate, Fboys and Ryan Gosling's abdominals. It's all here, people! This movie rules, and this was such a fun episode to do with first time Hopeless Romantic Amelia Stamos. We go deep (can a relationship survive infidelity?) and we go shallow (would you have sex with Ryan Gosling after meeting him at the bar for ten minutes?). Love you, more than a friend x LINKS: Follow Amelia on instagram Follow Ash on tikok and instagram Follow the podcast on instagram Grab tickets to Ash's book tour here Pre-order Ash's debut novel Love on the Air

Matthias and Maxime (and ten other movies) with Chris Parker
Chris Parker is a kiwi comedian, writer, actor and perhaps most notably the guest who initially suggested the most absurd 'romance' film (it was Deep Impact. And to be fair he argues a great point at the start of this episode). We settled on French Canadian director Xavier Dolan's stunning film Matthias and Maxime which I'd not heard of before the podcast, but absolutely ADORED. You don't need to see the film to enjoy this episode as we cover soooo many other wonderful themes and films, but please see the film at some point in your life because it's beautiful. You can watch it on Apple TV.

Moulin Rouge (2001) with Eli Matthewson
All you need is love! And...well a couple of other things really. Welcome to the podcast OUR VERY FIRST MAN! And what a man we have for you this week! Kiwi comedian Eli Matthewson joins us to discuss a movie he saw twelve times...in the cinema (OK so to be fair he has a plausible explanation that makes that sound less shocking). This is one of my fave episodes so far - lots of laughs - and a couple F bombs (my bad, soz). If you want more Eli in your life, he's touring Oz and NZ so get around him at the link below. Love you, more than a friend xoxo LINKS: Follow Eli on instagram See Eli on TOUR, BABY!
