41: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days & What's Your Number? (with Macy Todd)

The 90s and 2000s might be the most ubiquitous time for romantic comedies, but they also gave us some of the most truly unhinged entries the genre had to offer. This week, we're discussing a pair of malicious magazine themed rom-coms that pair a couple of successful sociopaths and unemployed losers as they search for love in the big city (and Boston)! Is the 2003 box office smash "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" regressive and awkward in 2021? Is the genre wackiness of "What's Your Number?" an unlikely parable for North Korean spies? Is Matthew McConaughey an undiagnosed sociopath? Will Hollywood ever figure out what to do with Anna Faris? We're joined by film studies professor and "What's Your Number?" enthusiast Macy Todd to answer these important questions. Both films are available to rent wherever you rent movies.
