Episode 306 - The Big Sick

One of the best romantic comedies in recent memory is the subject of Andrew and Phil's new discussion.  Phil raves about the writing and acting and Andrew is enthusiastic as well...but believes the directing by Michael Showalter to be "pedestrian."  Andrew also did not completely buy that Kumail and Zoe were in love in the film.  This sparks a debate between the two hosts: which is more important in a romantic comedy?  The writing or the acting?  Surely, both are, but where the effective writing won Phil over, the unconvincing romance prevented Andrew from completely loving the film.
