This week on Best Cellars, we're diving into rom-coms with Funny Story, the latest book from Emily Henry that she definitely wrote for us. Tune in to hear Maddie (rom-com fan) and Tyler (rom-com h8r) debate the following: Is it okay to be a "we" girl? What is the best romance trope? Gun to your head, if you had to choose between having friends or having a lover, what would you do? Really? You'd give up cuddles? For LIFE? Well, okay, your choice I guess.

Maddie would like the record to show: she does NOT condone beastiality. In fact, neither does Tyler. But we DO talk about it on this week's episode because we're reading Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer by Lola Faust (aka Dr. Dinosaur), our very first (and probably, very last) dinosaur erotica. Discussion topics include: What would a lesbian dinosaur sound like? How tall are dinosaurs, really? Would you let the love of your life eat your arm?

Listen until the end for a special guest appearance from the woman who started it all: Sierra.

You might be wondering "WTF? Another episode? I thought they gave up on the whole podcasting thing?" Well, do we have news for you... We did NOT give up, we SIMPLY got lazy, and we are BACK with a new episode, and you WILL like it. On the docket this week is Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B. Poranek, a romantasy novel filled with stags, kissing, and absolutely no sex.
