Welcome back to the show where romance gets roasted, movies are rated, and the tangents fly faster than Jeff Goldblum in a red leather jacket. Here’s what’s cooking this episode:

• Romance, Ruined: Johnny Spoiler admits he’s a romantic who doesn’t believe in romance. Confused? So is he. But he’s happy to break it down with terms like "micromancing" (tiny gestures over grand ones) and "DMWs" (dating with Johnny in the middle, because why not?).
• Male Archetypes: Ever wondered if you’re a "sex pig" or a "toxic turkey"? Johnny doesn’t hold back on playful commentary about male casting in real life and pop culture.
• Buffy’s Back: Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to reprise her iconic role in aBuffy the Vampire Slayer reboot on Hulu. Cue the nostalgia!
• Headlines and Movie Trivia: From Dave Franco to Peter Dinklage, a road trip comedy calledThe S**heads is already stirring up title trouble (looking at you, MPAA). Plus, Johnny dives into the indie gemBetween the Lines, a 70s flick about scrappy journalists and life’s inevitable changes.

Binge-Worthy or Not?
Johnny rates Between the Lines as a "binge later." It’s got heart, but its smooth jazz pacing might make you sleepy unless you’re in the mood for something mellow.

Listener Shoutouts:
Fan "Nexfyful" chimes in withDemolition Man as a top pick, but does it hit Johnny’s sweet spot? Listen to find out.
