'Sleeping With Other People' & Leslye Headland

Sleeping With Other People: When Harry Met Sally for a new generation **Complicated Woman Rating. What makes Lainey Dalton complicated? Carinn and Kate both agree Lainey is a solid 5 out of 5 rating. She hits all the marks, defying the romcom female lead at every turn. (00:35) **Lainey’s best scenes. It was hard to narrow the list of the best down or to even decide if the same scene was the best or the cringiest, but that’s all part of what makes this complicated (read: amazing!). (6:30) **Lainey and Jake’s first non-date date. Listen to Jake tell Lainey that “little girls are told that someday you’re going to find the one. What they don’t tell you is “the one” might be a complete f^$#ing d!$#head.”(13:43) **Lainey and Jake get into the topic of self-pleasure but Carinn is unsure at first about the new version of Sally’s orgasm scene. (16:35) **It’s going to happen! They are going to get together -- or are they? Kate and Carinn are split on the line: “I love you for free” but you listen to the scene and judge for yourself. (21:25) **This story might be as much about Lainey and Matthew as it is about Lainey and Jake. She confronts Matthew and we are crushed on so many levels. (27:43) **We play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how Lainey got to be the way she is. Clearly she is obsessed with unavailable men. What ARE daddy issues, anyway? (41:16) **We tell you What She Said, the segment where we share some of our favorite first person quotes from Leslye Headland, the writer and director of Sleeping With Other People. Kate pulls some mind-blowing quotes about why we can’t yet, as a culture, understand difficult women. (44:20) **Gaze into our Crystal Ball. Have you ever wondered where Lainey and Jake ended up after the movie was over? Kate uncharacteristically goes dark on her prediction for five years out, but Carinn brings them back to the light. (54:16) **Takeaway. Carinn reminds us that love is a choice, but it’s so worth it. Kate agrees but thinks timing is everything and sometimes you have to be patient to get the payoff.
