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. Get bonus Meet Cutie content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

    Last Holiday: America’s Broken Healthcare System But Make It Sexy (with Ashley Nicole Black)

    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!

    Love Actually: The Romance of Workplace Harassment (with Stephanie Beatriz)

    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!

  3. Anyone But You: Going Troppo For Hot People (with Alex Levy)

    DEC 4

    Anyone But You: Going Troppo For Hot People (with Alex Levy)

    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.

    NOV 13

    Pretty Woman: Let's Talk About Piano Sex

    Is Richard Gere hot or not? And did this movie in fact need MORE close ups of his nipples? OR more close up magic? Is Julia Roberts believable as a call girl? And would you ever let a date order for you? We cover all of this and MORE as we dive into the 1990 smash hit Pretty Woman on this week's episode of Podstruck!

    Deliver Us From Eva: Sexy Sexist Shakespeare (with Rochée Jeffrey)

    Who says Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew can't be remade as a 2003 rom-com featuring Gabrielle Union with a personality disorder and LL Cool J in bondage? Chelsea Davison, Elena Crevello, and Rochée Jeffrey talk about the wild sexist ride that is Deliver Us From Eva. Rochée Jeffrey is our guest this week! Rochée is a writer, director and comedian whose credits include Grownish on ABC, SMILF on Showtime, Woke on Hulu and a podcast on Audible called Yes We Cannabis.

    OCT 30

    The Proposal: Is Blackmail Romantic? (with Margaret Kaminski)

    Is blackmail the answer to getting a green card AND love?! Podstruck kicks off another rom-com trope category with The Proposal, the Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds romantic comedy that is both charming and a tad racist. Elena Crevello and Chelsea Davison are joined by Margaret Kaminski to argue over the movie's fashion, why birds are a REAL threat to society, and whether the actors have any chemistry.
