I Want You Back: Seduce & Destroy

DOWN IN THE DUMPSThis week on Podstruck: A Rom-Com Rewind, we're covering the Amazon Original Movie, I Want You Back (2022). This delightfully messy rom-com stars Jenny Slate and Charlie Day as two freshly dumped strangers who team up to win back their exes and accidentally catch feelings along the way. Elena and Chelsea discuss why Jenny Slate is an underrated rom-com QUEEN, why Ben Mackenzie's surprise cameo is oh so delightful, and we also debate whether this movie crams in one subplot too many (looking at you, theater kid with the gay dads). We also celebrate the surprisingly great Atlanta setting, and spend an entirely reasonable amount of time discussing why ripped Manny Jacinto with long hair really works for us. Come for the breakup scheming, stay for the stellar cast, and a rom-com that reminds us that this genre is not dead!
