I don't even do anything physical, I just say "open-says-a-me" and it does.

Did you perhaps leave something in the engine bay on top of the radiator shroud that would cause it to get stuck? Perhaps try to gently pry it up near the latch point with a pry bar.

push down on the side that's stuck and have someone pull the hood release in the car.
