Hi! We thought it was about time to introduce ourselves. We’re Jack and Nora - a couple of best pals/ romcommoisseurs with an Adobe subscription and a dream.
We started this podcast for two reasons:
1. To celebrate our favorite genre by giving it the same time, attention, and respect given to “serious” films.
2. To have an excuse to do our favorite thing (hang out and talk about romcoms with cool people!)
Since launching in July 2025, we’ve been so excited to see the community that’s already starting to build around the show - and we have big plans for it to grow.
If you love When Rom Met Com as much as we do (or even if you just like it a little bit), here are some of the ways you can support it to continue:
- “Follow” and rate/review on Spotify and Apple
- Recommend the show to the romcom lovers in your life
- Make a donation toward production costs via Ko-Fi (see link in bio)
And, if we’re being honest, podcasting can get very lonely - so we get such a boost from hearing from our listeners! The best part of our week is reading comments and messages about the films and the episodes, hearing what romcoms you’d like us to cover next, and getting your weird and wonderful “would do, wouldn’t do, have done”s. So don’t be a stranger!
To quote the greatest poet of 1999 (of all time???), Katarina Stratford: “We don’t hate you. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.”
Much love,
Jack and Nora
We released our first episode in August of this year, and we are so thrilled that the show has already begun to find its place in the romcom community!
If you’re one of the listeners who’s found us over the last few months, we’d LOVE to say hello, so feel free to leave a comment, slide into our DMs, or tag us in your #SpotifyWrapped. ❤️
And let us know what other podcasts you’ve been listening to this year so we can check them out!
Nora’s tonsils are finally healed, which means we are BACK from our break next week with a *bonus episode* — we were lucky enough to speak to @not_aleesha , the director of @findingemilyfilm , ahead of the film’s UK release on Friday 22nd May. (Pro tip: See this one in the cinema!)
Then, we are back to our regularly scheduled coverage of Vanity Fair’s 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time:
- 27th May: Broadcast News (1987) with @pmiscove
- 3rd June: Coming to America (1988) with @kobestarr

We forgot to take even a single photo at our first ever press junket (!!!) — BUT here are some Nora took of Jack with a dog* after the interview.
*Belle the dog is not affiliated with @findingemilyfilm but she is a VERY GOOD GIRL anyway
Thank you to these 100 beautiful romcommoisseurs on Spotify for this sweet, sweet dopamine hit this week. We love and appreciate you! ❤️
We’ll be back with new episodes on Wednesday 20th May!
Live from London, it’s Saturday Night!! While we’re on hiatus @thejackgregsonshow and past & future guest @grace_o_keefe took a trip to BBC Studios for a taping of @snluk . Needless to say uproarious laughter was had throughout. Jack nearly died during the final sketch, while Grace may never recover from the whole thing! @aimeelouwood romcom with soundtrack by @mustbemeek when?

PSA: We will be taking a break for the next few weeks. Really wish we could say it’s because Nora’s too busy filming a guest spot on The Pitt, but sadly it’s because she’s too busy healing the empty space where her tonsils used to be. We’ll be back as soon as her voice is! ❤️
Jack and Nora are joined by theatre content creator @tabinthecity to discuss (spoiler-free!) what’s going on in the world of romcoms.
In this episode, Nora competes for how many f-bombs she can drop in 36 minutes, Jack is replacing Nora with Fearne Cotton, and Tabitha loves any film with Glen Powell and/or a talking dog. Head to your local cinema, grab some popcorn, and let’s celebrate the revival of the romcom!
Topics include:
- Robert Pattinson’s long-awaited comedy era
- The irresistible charm of Halle Bailey (+ @niavardalos as the fairy godmother of Mediterranean romcoms)
- Upcoming cinema releases of romcoms (and romcom-adjacent films), including: Finding Emily (2026), One Night Only (2026), The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026), and the 25th anniversary re-releases of Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001) and Legally Blonde (2001)
Mysteries we still haven’t solved:
- Which film will be crowned the best romcom of 2026?
- Where can we get the food in You, Me & Tuscany?

Jack and Nora are joined by actor and founder of The 98% @alexa_morden to discuss no. 15 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Sleepless in Seattle.
In this episode, Nora hates people watching her eat, Jack and unnecessary acronyms are “MFEO”, and Alexa is woo-woo enough to believe in fate. Crank up the radio, head to Empire State Building, and let’s be in love (in a movie)!
Topics include:
- Watching 90s romcoms through a contemporary lens
- How Jack and Nora became friends via mild stalking
- Romcoms where the main couple spend almost no time together
Mysteries we still haven’t solved:
- Did any of that long list of actors regret turning down the role of Annie?
- Should Nora date Woody from Toy Story?
