Podstruck: A Rom-Com Rewind

Professional comedy writers Elena Crevello and Chelsea Davison are obsessed with rom coms, because it’s one of the only genres that actually centers female stories. Join them as they take a look back at classic romantic comedies to appreciate the good, the bad, and the totally sexist with fresh eyes… Commenting on all the things they were too lovestruck to see the first time. Every week Elena, Chelsea, and their guest will dig into the clumsy leads and quirky best friends, analyze rom com tropes, and share how these films inspired them/warped their ideas of love. Come along as they revisit the chick flicks that taught a generation of women you’re not ugly, you just have glasses. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Pillow Talk: Party Line! Excellent! (with Joe Randazzo)

    CATEGORY: LOTHARIOS IN LOVEWe continue our collection of playboys turned loverboys this week with the Rock Hudson Doris Day classic Pillow Talk, with special guest Joe Randazzo (The Onion, @midnight). Despite being made in 1959, this movie has a ton of humor, heart, and a whole lotta leg to get your blood pumping... as well as a few sexist/violent moments that will make you very glad it's not 1959 anymore. We talk about the mind games Brad Allen is playing, why Jan needs to find a new hair dresser, who got Oscar nominations, the insane score for this film, and the part where the main characters become ghosts. After seeing this movie, should we bring back party lines?Listen to Joe's funny podcast: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-dr-sex-reese-show-91432379/This episode was edited by Nick Duke: https://www.instagram.com/n_dukie/ Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod/Get bonus episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod Hosted on Acast.
