Cynthia and Daniel discuss the toxically fluffy endorphins of the 2021 romantic comedy The Hating Game, starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell. Is writing Smurfs fan fiction quirky or disturbing? Should you decorate your home based on your crush? Is risking norovirus the ultimate romance, and is a bedroom chess nook the ultimate flex? And most importantly: does this movie give endorphins? This is another special bonus, or "lost" episode of The Endorphin Report - we will post new ones every once in a while when inspiration strikes!

Romantic movies give us endorphins - even when they suck. Each episode, Cynthia and Daniel (Fight the Future with Dan and Paul) talk about a romantic comedy or romantic drama, digging into both the plot and the romance, and answering questions like: What happens the day after the end of the movie? Which romantic gestures are endearing (ooo!) and which are just creepy (eww!)? Will the couple make it? And does this movie, regardless of quality, deliver the happy-making endorphins we could all use right now?
