About this episode
Mark is joined by friend Lauren Evangelista to chat about big screen romance from January 2001: Save the Last Dance & The Wedding Planner. Who would have thunk that years after watching films together in class at Fordham University they'd be chatting about these films on a podcast? Also, who approved Julia Stiles' fashion and hairstyles back then? And who told J.Lo she would be playing Italian and not Latina?
