Skimming through Netflix’s Award Winners category led us to this week’s movie, 2013’s Her. In this episode, we recap delirious fever texts, Katie learns what airports look like from the air, we learn what movie Wesleigh’s mom refuses to watch with her, and decide that Theodore Twombly is the most Enneagram 4 of all time.

We’re wrapping up Marathon May by inviting our friend who suggested year’s theme of time travel romances, Lara! She introduces us to Somewhere in Time, an ethereal movie that seems to have been filmed through an Instagram filter.
