Ep. 16 - Screwball Comedies
from Honeywagon Hosted by Arik + Luke
This week, we’re entering the gloriously chaotic world of screwball comedy: fast talk, romantic warfare, mistaken identities, class clashes, and some of the sharpest dialogue Hollywood ever produced. We trace the genre from Depression-era escapism to its lasting influence on the modern rom-com, covering It Happened One Night, The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, The Lady Eve, and Some Like It Hot. It’s love, lies, pratfalls, and verbal sparring — usually all at once.
