New year, new show! We're back to our regularly scheduled programming and ready to talk about our movies of 2002! For the first (and likely only) time on Media Made, Rod & Jess tackle two movies built around romance. First, they examine that star-crossed love story of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and all the horrible implications therein. Then, they take a trip to New York to discuss the Jennifer Lopez romcom Main in Manhattan, with all its Cinderella sensibilities.
