🤓 Nerd Out With Us Over Rom-Coms 🥰
We’ve got two events to put on your radar, both involving our friends at Rom Com Fest. This Sunday (5/3), they’re hosting a watch party of the new Netflix flick The Half of It. Press play on the movie at 8:00pm EST and then head over to their Instagram account, where they’ll be discussing the movie with Frolic Media. Get details and register for free here.
Then join us on Instagram Live this upcoming Thursday (5/7), when our Lead Writer, Rob Wilder, will be chatting with Rom Com Fest’s founder, Miraya Berke, about why we love the romantic comedy genre. Tune in at 7pm EST, and make sure you’re following us on Instagram at @meetcute and @romcomfest.
