A podcast that’s looking for love in all the right places. Join the Agents of SMOOCH as we delve into the romance of sweeping epics and classic romcoms. Our mission is to investigate the important questions: Should they or shouldn’t they? Is there such a thing as One True Love? Did that smooch have any chemistry? We might not have all the answers, but we know you had us at “Hello.”

Welcome to our last mission to say goodbye to the Agency. It seems fitting that we do this on Valentine’s Day, exactly six years after we started. We’ve gathered a collection of Agents to reminisce about some favourite episodes, provide recommendations for what we should have talked about, and get sentimental about memories of the past 6 years. We are glad you are here to join us on our final love…
Our Agents just love Paris and Rome, so we are returning to Emily in Paris for season 5. This time, we’ve got a new Agent joining us on this mission. We’ve put on our most fashionable spring outfits, but we can’t tell a real Fendi bag from a fake. Join us as we overanalyze our not-so-guilty pleasure. Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk and Micheline Maynard.
We start the new year with a mission to celebrate one of our favourite Rob Reiner pictures: When Harry Met Sally. Although it’s been a while since our agents last watched this movie, it remains a strong example of a 90s romantic comedy. Join us to celebrate the fashion, the music, the supporting cast, and finally answer the question: can men and women be friends? Annette Wierstra with Shelly…
Is the Return of Doctor Mysterio the most romcom episode of Doctor Who? We think so. We’ve got superheroes, secret identities, snooping reporters, and invading aliens. This calls for Doctor Mysterio! Join our Agents for this Boxing Day mission and relish the 12th Doctor as matchmaker while he saves the world again. Annette Wierstra with Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.
This year is our 5th annual Holiday Movie Bingo Marathon. For this mission, our Agents watch three Christmas movies, including An Alpine Holiday, Merry Christmas Ted Cooper!, and A Keller Christmas Vacation. We unintentionally chose the theme of siblings, but there are still miscommunications, almost smooches, and European settings. And we learn that just about anyone can climb mountains in the…
Today’s mission is long overdue. Our agents have been preparing for it for 4 long seasons. It’s time to go to France, even if we can’t speak a word of French and are actually pretty bad at our jobs. This is a mission of love and of hate and Emily in Paris. Join our Agents as they explore why they are always annoyed with Emily and yet are enamoured with all the other things about this show. Annette…
We’ve recently lost the iconic Diane Keaton, and the Agency wanted to do a special mission to honour her work. We chose The First Wives Club with Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and some amazing power suits. Join us for a celebration of women, friendship, and a good dance scene. Annette Wierstra with Heather Berberet, Shelly Brisbin and Micheline Maynard.
The Agents are back with a Halloween mission full of magic and glorious 80s hair. Join us for Witches of Eastwick with Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer with the devilish Jack Nicholson. Our coven walks through the important questions. Who is taking care of all those kids? Is Jack Nicholson actually the devil? What is the horniest scene? We can confirm that this movie is fun, campy, and…
This episode of Agents of SMOOCH is a spoiler-light mission to convince you to watch the most Canadian of mystery shows: Murdoch Mysteries. This series, set in the 1890s to 1910s, is 18 seasons long and still going. We discuss the series’ ability to be serious and light-hearted, tackle social issues and zombies while staying true to itself. And - of course - we delve into the many romantic…
The Austenheads return. For today’s mission, we return to Austen with the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. This movie is packed with stars, beautiful scenery, and romance…and add in a flatulent horse. But we must also delve into inheritance laws and what is wrong with Mansfield Park. Annette Wierstra with Amanda-Rae Prescott, Sandra Wong, Shelly Brisbin and Moisés Chiullán.
