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.

    Bridget Jones’s Baby: Pregnancy Won’t Stop The Fat Shaming

    SUBCATEGORY: JONESING FOR BRIDGET JONES  Elena Crevello and Chelsea Davison continue the Renée Zellweger franchise with "Bridget Jones's Baby." Bridget isn't sure whether Colin Firth or Patrick Dempsey is the daddy and we aren't sure why Matthew McConaughey or Ed Sheeran weren't cast as the love interest. We also discuss Fire Fog, the parallels between this rom-com and Mamma Mia, and pay our tributes to Emma Thompson who is definitely still alive.  This episode was edited by Nick Duke: Instagram @n_dukie Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod/ Podstruck TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podstruckpodcast Check out our Patreon and become a Meet Cutie: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod Get bonus Meet Cutie content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

    Bridget Jones’s Diary: You Should Hate Your Soulmate (with Lizzie Bassett Boman)

    SUBCATEGORY: JONESING FOR BRIDGET JONES  This week we kick off a whole month dedicated to one of our favorite rom-com leading ladies: Bridget Jones. Special guest Lizzie Bassett Boman (host of the What Went Wrong podcast) joins us to look back at the 2001 Renée Zellweger movie that started it all: 'Bridget Jones's Diary.' Join us as we debate whether we'd fall for Colin Firth or Hugh Grant, why this movie holds up despite the fat shaming, and how being mean is a sign of true love. Plus we answer whether spin classes go well with vodka and dish some Salman Rushdie gossip.

    Jerry Maguire: You Had Us At Naked Butts (with Megan Gailey)

    This week we wrap up the Sports Vs. Love rom-com subcategory with special guest Megan Gailey (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Conan, Sports Bitches podcast) to cover the Cameron Crowe classic, "Jerry Maguire." Join us as we discuss the terrifying and charismatic acting of Tom Cruise, how the updo from Renée Zellweger inspired us, whether sports agents really are slimy, and why we desperately wanted a spin-off for Kelly Preston. And we aren't afraid to say it: we appreciated all the athletic locker room butts! This rom-com is full of weird boss/employee dynamics and sports references Elena and Chelsea may not fully get, and yet, it completes us.

We discuss how writer/director Gina Prince-Bythewood inspires us, the break from traditional rom-com structure, and how this movie addresses sexism in ways the Barbie movie can't. Plus we talk about strip basketball, licking booty sweat, slut shaming, Mormon crushes, and more.  Follow Chelsea Devantez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chelseadevantez/ Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod/ Podstruck TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podstruckpodcast Check out our Patreon and vote on Meet Cutie Perks: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod This episode was edited by Nick Duke: Instagram @n_dukie Get bonus Meet Cutie content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

    The Cutting Edge: Apparently Figure Skating Is Easy (with Charlene deGuzman)

    To kick things off in 2025, Podstruck skates into a new rom-com category: Sports Vs. Love. And for our first episode of the new year Chelsea Davison and Elena Crevello are joined by special guest Charlene deGuzman (Ted, Unloveable, I Forgot My Phone) to cover the 1992 Figure Skating movie, "The Cutting Edge" starring Moira Kelly and D. B. Sweeney. Join us as we discuss the incredibly well written script by Tony Gilroy, how many slow-mo shots are too many, whether you can really learn an Olympic sport in 3 months, who brushes their hair naked in front of a window, group kissing chains at New Year's Eve, and whether the Pamchenko is possible or would cause head trauma. If you like classic enemies to lovers romances, class divides, and strange little pencil mustaches, this is the movie for you!

    Today we discuss a VERY popular holiday rom-com, Nancy Meyers' The Holiday! It's an all star cast with Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black - but do they have chemistry?!
