Milesjackson Stories

Materialists is a romantic dramedy that explores the complexities of love, matchmaking, and self-discovery. Elise Walker (Sophia Bush) is a successful, yet conflicted matchmaker who has built a career helping others find "the one." With a near-perfect track record of nine successful marriages (just shy of Love Is Blind's record), Elise is a believer in love-just not for herself. As a professional who thrives on helping her clients navigate the intricate world of love, Elise is forced to confront her own heart when she finds herself torn between two very different men. On one side, there's Miles Jackson (Jake Gyllenhaal)-the polished, wealthy businessman whose charm and sophistication make him the ideal match in Elise's world of perfection. Their whirlwind romance seems like a dream, but Elise begins to question whether their connection runs deeper than just surface-level attraction. On the other side, there's John Taylor (Chris Evans), Elise's imperfect but familiar ex. Living a more modest life with roommates, John has a raw, unpolished charm that Elise can't ignore. Though their past is filled with unresolved emotions, their emotional connection remains undeniable. Elise finds herself drawn back to John, but their shared history and differences complicate things. Caught between the allure of perfection and the pull of a deep, familiar connection, Elise begins to question everything she's ever known about love. As she grapples with her doubts about relationships and career, she realizes that finding true love may be messier, less predictable, and more complicated than she ever imagined.
