This week on No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle close out Pride Month with a deep dive into The Broken Hearts Club (2000), Greg Berlanti's directorial debut starring Timothy Olyphant, Zach Braff, Billy Porter, Dean Cain, Justin Theroux, Nia Long, and John Mahoney.
The hosts discuss why this West Hollywood ensemble cast felt stacked with talent, how the film was quietly ahead of its time, and whether its themes of friendship, love, and chosen family still resonate today.

• Greg Berlanti before Dawson's Creek, Everwood, and the Arrowverse
• Timothy Olyphant's role as the film's central character
• The movie's portrayal of LGBTQ+ friendships and dating in 2000
• Why Jackie and Danielle think this story may have worked better as a TV series
• The surprising cast connections to Sex and the City, WB dramas, and early 2000s television
• Behind-the-scenes facts, Sundance reception, and box office performance
• Their Ratings Rewind scores and final verdicts
