The Big Sick

We get deep into our feelings this week in part two of our Kumail couplet, where we all catch The Big Sick, based on Kumail & Emily’s IRL relationship. Jaleh explains why it’s triggering, Jessica yammers on about Ray Romano, and Honorary Hart Chick Jamie publicly apologizes for not laughing at every single one of Jess’s jokes. Have a slice of sheet cake with a robot and join us, dear hearts.
