Something's Gotta Give

We're at the beach with Jack and Diane as we look at the romance of Nancy Meyers's 2003 smash rom com Something's Gotta Give! Join in as we discuss thinly-veiled adaptations of real life, the film's examination of Jack Nicholson, and the weird lack of Frances McDormand. Plus: How long has Julian (Keanu Reeves) been tracking down productions of Erica's (Diane Keaton) plays? Why didn't Harry's employees ever show up again? And did Nancy watch the Matrix sequels?
