Razzles: this is probably the most prominent Razzles appearance, unless the 80s.
For 2000s fake fashion-magazine plots, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is the bigger magazine rom-com and would be the apex; Eva Mendes in Hitch and Kate Hudson are the biggest such roles.
Madonna's Crazy for You: the answer is no, since it was already big from Vision Quest; Thriller is obviously mid-80s.
Sam Ball, who played Alex Carlson, has multiple IMDb names, a red flag; "I hope to never see him again."
Post-9/11 feel-good New York movies: this is in the running, but Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 (and 25th Hour) are up there.
Judy Greer: no; Descendants is a better performance, and she is a reliable second banana.
Rom-com characters cruelly breaking up a wedding: My Best Friend's Wedding, A Lot Like Love or this; it has to be Julia Roberts.
Vienna reached Apex Mountain here, completely rejuvenated and finally getting its acclaim after 27 years; agreed.
Living with an undone alternate life; New York geography; unemployed Matt; unrealistic magazine business; Jenna not looking things up; Six Chicks dressed for 1985; anachronistic video camera; Matt too accepting; littering; unchanged basement; junk food without consequence; kept Sparkle letters; overnight bus ads; the dollhouse; the home wedding
The biggest nit is how she lives knowing she undid an alternate life.
New York details: 61 Fifth Avenue is at 11th Street but they show 12th, she asks what the Village is while living there, and travel is too quick.
Matt seems unemployed and always available; he needed hobbies like fantasy football or the Knicks and is probably a pothead, which suits Ruffalo not wanting to be there.
The magazine business is unrealistic: relaunches are normal, not a death sentence.
She would have had more questions and could have looked things up on a You've Got Mail-style computer.
The Six Chicks are dressed like 1985, not 1987, lacking big hair, per a participant in high school then.
Jenna's dad's small video camera didn't exist in 1987, when cameras were bulky.
Matt should have been far more alarmed by how crazy Jenna was.
Adult Jenna litters, throwing shrimp over her shoulder; one participant admits to littering as a kid, and an off-mic participant is said to hate littering.
The parents would have remodeled the basement in 17 years.
Jenna eats junk the whole movie with no jeans-don't-fit payoff.
Evil Jenna keeps the Sparkle letters in her desk drawer.
The class-of-2004 ad is on buses within 12 hours, though bus ads are booked far in advance.
A participant's wife's biggest nit: engaged Matt keeps a dollhouse of Jenna, with a bathtub picture, for 17 years; any partner would smash it.
The dollhouse is at his parents' house, which is still weird and suggests they want him back with her; she threw it at him, yet it is unbroken.
Weddings at a parent's house are a movie trope; home weddings in the Hamptons are very expensive, and someone who can afford San Ysidro could afford a hotel.
A listener email expands the choices to sequel, prequel, streamer, all-Black cast, spin-off, remake or untouchable.
The answer is remake, ironically: the hosts say Netflix announced in March 2026 a remake directed by Brett Haley starring Emily Bader and Logan Lerman, with Garner and Greer spotted doing cameos and Garner possibly an EP.
Odds: 30 percent it's good, 70 percent disappointing, and 100 percent a wife and daughter watch and love it.
It is surprising it wasn't already a one-season streaming show; it would be an Amazon YA show needing more sexual content.
A hypothetical version has her turn 30 as a male hockey player, a Heated Rivalry take.
Who won Poise versus Sparkle in the 2000s? Neither: Us Weekly knocked both out.
An R-rated version with Cameron Diaz is interesting; Poor Things is called Ruffalo's R-rated version, and an R version would not have made $100 million.
The jacket she wears over the slip dress on her first day at work, a Nanette Lepore, is the pick; the Thriller dress would make the most money on eBay in 2010.
Definitely the jacket; Lili Reinhart reportedly borrowed one from the designer for a press tour.
Offered: "I don't want to be original, I want to be cool" as a bad lesson, "you can't just turn back time" as profound, or "slow down you crazy child."
Kathy Baker's "those aren't real people, honey, those are models" is offered and accepted as one of them.
