<p>CATEGORY: UH-OH AMNESIA</p><br><p>This week we go back to 1987 for the creepy yet cute romantic comedy <em>Overboard</em>, starring real-life couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Joining us is TV writer, producer and podcaster, Elizabeth Laime from the hit podcasts <em>Beth’s Dead</em> and <em>Nobody’s Listening, Right?</em> as we break down one of the most absurd ’80s rom-com plots ever to grace our screens. We discuss why <em>Overboard</em> somehow remains lovable despite the kidnapping, gaslighting, and identity fraud, why Goldie Hawn’s fashion and comedic performance are perfection, and how the chemistry between Goldie and Kurt makes this deeply problematic romance weirdly irresistible. Plus: Roddy McDowall stealing scenes as Goldie’s sassy butler, Kurt's ingenious closet invention, and our love of a little upstairs/downstairs romance! If you love yachts, mini-golf, and zany romantic comedies from the 1980s, then this episode is for you!&nbsp;</p><br><p>This episode was edited by Nick Duke: https://www.instagram.com/n_dukie/&nbsp;</p><p>Follow Elizabeth Laime on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethlaime/?hl=en</p><p>Check out Elizabeth's podcast Nobody's Listening, Right?: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nobodys-listening-right/id570082846</p><p>Listen Elizabeth's podcast Beth's Dead: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beths-dead/id1842968648</p><p>Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod</p><p>Get bonus episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
