The Roasting Booth

By The Roasting Booth

Do you like RomComs? We don’t either, but we still waste hours watching them and now we'll waste more roasting them. Join Alexis and Heather, in The Roasting Booth, as we take on the Romcoms you love to hate. (Sidenote: We’re 2 struggling actors and if we say something mean about your movie-no we didn’t, please cast us).
