    Maid in Manhattan (2002) is the Most Unconvincing RomCom of All Time

    Happy annual love time, listeners! We are so happy to back in your earholes to discuss the ridiculous early 2000s film Maid in Manhattan. This one had us asking a lot of tough questions, such as: why is a 10 year old obsessed with Richard Nixon? How does a Latina maid fall in love with a Republican senate candidate in 1 week? Why is a random average-looking county assemblyman devastatingly famous? We don't get answers, but we do have some laughs.Follow us on Instagram @sociallyplaguedSend us an email to [email protected] rate and review us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and any other platforms!
