139 - The Lovebirds

This week we’re getting embroiled in a murder-mystery as our love life falls apart, inadvertently joining a -cult and taking bacon grease to the face, all while discussing the new Netflix released rom-com ‘The Lovebirds’. The Lovebirds is a 2020 American romantic comedy film directed by Michael Showalter from a screenplay by Aaron Abrams and Brendan Gall, and a story by Abrams, Gall, and Martin Gero. The film stars Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani, as well as Paul Sparks, Anna Camp, and Kyle Bornheimer, and follows a couple who goes on the run after witnessing a murder.Originally scheduled to be a theatrical release by Paramount Pictures on April 3, 2020, the film was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic closing theaters worldwide. Its rights were then sold to Netflix, which released the film digitally on May 22, 2020. The film received mixed reviews from critics, although Rae and Nanjiani's performances were praised.
