" class="jsx-3162370740">Our Bridget Jones binge watch continues with the 2nd movie in the franchise, "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason." While Elena is gone, Margaret Kaminski returns to guest host with Chelsea Davison and talk about why we think people should hook up with their exes, whether Colin Firth can redeem Mark Darcy slash if he is a super spy, which bits let Renée Zellweger shine, and how we desperately need a Hugh Grant rom-com with Meryl Streep.

This week we kick off a whole month dedicated to one of our favorite rom-com leading ladies: Bridget Jones. Special guest Lizzie Bassett Boman (host of the What Went Wrong podcast) joins us to look back at the 2001 Renée Zellweger movie that started it all: 'Bridget Jones's Diary.' Join us as we debate whether we'd fall for Colin Firth or Hugh Grant, why this movie holds up despite the fat shaming, and how being mean is a sign of true love. Plus we answer whether spin classes go well with vodka and dish some Salman Rushdie gossip.

This week we wrap up the Sports Vs. Love rom-com subcategory with special guest Megan Gailey (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Conan, Sports Bitches podcast) to cover the Cameron Crowe classic, "Jerry Maguire." Join us as we discuss the terrifying and charismatic acting of Tom Cruise, how the updo from Renée Zellweger inspired us, whether sports agents really are slimy, and why we desperately wanted a spin-off for Kelly Preston. And we aren't afraid to say it: we appreciated all the athletic locker room butts! This rom-com is full of weird boss/employee dynamics and sports references Elena and Chelsea may not fully get, and yet, it completes us.

Continuing the Sports Vs. Love rom-com trope, this week Podstruck covers the genre defying Criterion Collection classic from 2000, Love & Basketball. We are joined by special guest and host of the Glamorous Trash podcast Chelsea Devantez to gush over the all-star cast featuring Omar Epps, Sanaa Lathan, Alfre Woodard, Regina Hall, Boris Kodjoe, Gabrielle Union, Tyra Banks and more. We discuss how writer/director Gina Prince-Bythewood inspires us, the break from traditional rom-com structure, and how this movie addresses sexism in ways the Barbie movie can't. Plus we talk about strip basketball, licking booty sweat, slut shaming, Mormon crushes, and more.

Instead of a regular episode this week, Elena and Chelsea discuss the personal impact the wildfires in Los Angeles have had on them, namely Elena losing her house last week in the Eaton fire.

Chelsea and Elena also talk about resources for where people can donate (links listed below) and discuss the future of Podstruck’s release schedule.
