Valentine’s Day is Sunday and, to celebrate this annual race for florists, chocolates and business card magnates, The AV Club launched several odes to romantic pop culture. It’s Love Week, you assholes! The festivities continue in this abnormally mushy episode of Movie Club, where critics (and usual cynics) AA Dowd and Katie Rife talk about cinematic love stories, from the Golden Age of crazy dating 194 to the romantic comedies of the early 2000s. They close things up with some recommendations for the collective meeting of this black weekendht. Because it is you, dear listeners, we really love you.
