Four Weddings and a Funeral: Deep Thoughts About Poetry, Romance, and Hugh Grant's Floppy Hair

In the words of David Cassidy, in fact, while he was still with The Partridge Family, I think I love you…Join us this week as Tracie and Emily revisit the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral that they first saw in the theater together.  Not only did this comedy launch Guy girls’ long-standing fixation on Hugh Grant, the floppy-haired embodiment of the word diffident, but it also tells a nuanced and progressive (for early 90s pop culture) story of gay romance, subverts the expectations of women's sexuality, and offers some lovely disability representation. While not everything holds up to 30-year hindsight–the characters are all posh white folks with lots o’ money and Andie MacDowell’s character is a bit of a sexy lamp–this brilliantly funny romance is well worth the rewatch.You are cordially invited to don your headphones and listen to this episode…Mentioned in this episodeFour things to say about Four Weddings now it’s 25https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-84804/Four-Weddings-star-dies.htmlhttps://www.dailymotion.com/video/x752gdfOur theme music is "Professor Umlaut" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Learn more about Tracie and Emily (including our other projects), join the Guy Girls' family, secure exclusive access to bonus episodes, video versions, and early access to Deep Thoughts by visiting us on Patreon. We are the sister podcasters Tracie Guy-Decker and Emily Guy Birken, known to our extended family as the Guy Girls.We're hella smart and completely unashamed of our overthinking prowess.
