Jack and Nora are joined by actor Adam Wadsworth to discuss #5 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Notting Hill. In this episode, Nora wants Hugh Grant to pour orange juice on her, Jack wants everyone to watch Cruel Intentions, and Adam wants the “softcore glamour” of the actor’s life.
