Podstruck: A Rom Com Rewind

This week we are joined by special guest Ashley Nicole Black (Shrinking, Bad Monkey, Ted Lasso, A Black Lady Sketch Show) to cover another Christmas rom-com classic, "Last Holiday" starring Queen Latifah and LL Cool J. Join us as we discuss LL Cool J's arms, Queen Latifah's charms, and why we aren't buying her as a sad down on her luck "spinster"! Other take aways from Last Holiday: all billionaires are bad, base jumping is not for us, Giancarlo Esposito can get it, and Hotel Pupp is a real place and yes, it's pronounced "poop". If you love manifestation, small Eastern European towns and commiserating over America's broken healthcare system, then this movie is for you!

This week we are joined by special guest Stephanie Beatriz (Man On The Inside, Brooklyn 99, Encanto, In The Heights) to cover a Christmas classic, "Love Actually". Join us as we discuss Alan Rickman as a love interest, and whether you'd get down with Snape or nah, Keira Knightley's creepy love triangle and how we romanticized stalking in the aughts, and why Colin Firth can always GET IT. And of course we dive fully into Hugh Grant's storyline with his not so subtly Monica Lewinsky coded love interest, Natalie. And we aren't afraid to say it: WE WANT MORE FOR LAURA LINNEY'S CHARACTER! This rom-com is full of Christmas cheer AND workplace harassment! A combo we never knew we needed!

This week we "go troppo" for the 2023 rom com hit, Anyone But You starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. Special guest Alex Levy joins the pod as we dig into whether butter should be cut from the middle of the pat, how grilled cheese sandwich making IS foreplay, and why you CANNOT get chlamydia from a koala. Fascinating stuff. Also romantic comedy fave, Dermot Mulroney, graces us with his presence in this movie and this may or may not cause Elena to go into an existential spiral about aging. If you love Natasha Beddingfield's Unwritten, the scenic wonder that is Australia, and fingers in the butt, then this episode is for you!

Podstruck covers another Julia Roberts classic rom-com with My Best Friend's Wedding, a movie where everyone is determined to ruin sweet Cameron Diaz's life. Brooke Wied (Grace & Frankie) joins Elena Crevello and Chelsea Davison to discuss everything from how hot Dermot Mulroney is, to why bugs are the future! Brooke gives us the skinny on how Rupert Everett pitched himself to be in the ending of the movie (we do not fact check anything here - so don't quote us), and we hash out whether Julia and Dermott were actually even friends to begin with. Wow - what a journey! Join us as we rewatch the movie that taught a nation that Cameran Diaz can not sing worth a damn.
