Suzsplaining: Screwball vs. Contemporary Rom Com
from Well, Here We Are Hosted by Hannah & Suzanne
In this edition of Suzplaining, Suzanne draws connections between the screwball comedies of the 1930s/40s, long believed to be the pinnacle of the romantic comedy, and more contemporary romantic comedies. What is the foundation of the screwball comedy, and how have the rom-coms of the 2000s/10s adapted those elements to our contemporary courtship context? The conversation is a little funny, a little sexy, and a little bit about the patriarchy. Drink each time Suzanne recommends that Hannah watch Palm Springs. Visit wellherepod.com for a long long list of movies from both the screwball era and the 2000s/10s as well as additional articles and videos.
