Podstruck: A Rom-Com Rewind

Elena Crevello & Chelsea Davison

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.

    Overboard: Very Creepy, Oddly Delightful (with Elizabeth Laime)

    CATEGORY: UH-OH AMNESIA This week we go back to 1987 for the creepy yet cute romantic comedy Overboard, starring real-life couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Joining us is TV writer, producer and podcaster, Elizabeth Laime from the hit podcasts Beth’s Dead and Nobody’s Listening, Right? as we break down one of the most absurd ’80s rom-com plots ever to grace our screens. We discuss why Overboard 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!  This episode was edited by Nick Duke: https://www.instagram.com/n_dukie/  Follow Elizabeth Laime on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethlaime/?hl=en Check out Elizabeth's podcast Nobody's Listening, Right?: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nobodys-listening-right/id570082846 Listen Elizabeth's podcast Beth's Dead: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beths-dead/id1842968648 Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod Get bonus episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod Hosted on Acast.
