The hosts review:

Darrell could not return the movie’s love, much as he wanted to.
Could have been a light-hearted Twilight Zone episode.
You’re setup to be skeptical from the beginning.
If you get a TiMER after you’ve already met your soul mate, does it still go off?
TiMER – self fulfilling prophecy or teller of the future?
{momentary side-tracking to touch on “rapey” movies}
Emma Caulfield is weird.
There was a notable lack of b-face.
The scene with her dad made no logical sense.
The hosts delve into the anatomy of relationships.
It’s a good date movie.
Does David have a future as a con-man?
They get silly over b-face (again).
Stripper-face.
