Today Mike and Christi gush over Meg and Tom as Annie and Sam as they fall in love. This was their first date and they acknowledge their bias but the worldwide ticket sales confirm that this was a successful film. They open the episode with Mike’s Pick Up line, “Mommy got sick”. Just like the beloved Affair to Remember, many people are also fond of the film Sleepless in Seattle. Listen as these two breakdown why this is one of their favorite films and holds a special place in their history.

Today we are talking about the 1985 film starring Val Kilmer, Gabriel Jarret, Michelle Meyrink and William Atherton. It is a film about Mitch Taylor who rooms with Chris Knight, school prodigy, and they work on a high powered laser. Only to discover that their professor is going to use it for evil instead of for good.

"Professor Hathaway: I want to see more of you around the lab.

Chris Knight: Fine. I'll gain weight.” (Technically now a dad joke)

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

• Mike’s connection to the story
• Chris Knight’s cool T-shirts
• Silly board room scenes
• 80’s music for context
