Want to know what Ray Romano, puppy love, and choosing a movie to watch for Valentine's Day all have in common? Find out by joining Screen Cares hosts Sarah and Jennie as they kick off season 2 with a surprise discussion about the movies that make their hearts happy. Jennie explores the importance of simple romance by highlighting an animated classic’s impact on her formative concept of love. Sarah discusses a movie that underscores the meaning of loving in sickness and in health. Along the way they explore a range of topics including how to make dinners romantic-even if you don’t have opposable thumbs, avoiding cinematic relationship pitfalls, middle-aged-unsexy-male responses to Sex in the City, and their own personal experiences falling and staying in love with a balance of adventure and boredom.
