A feminist, anti-racist comedy podcast about rom coms?! We love to see it. Olivia Love and Charlie Vail are best friends who love rom coms almost as much as they love talking! Listen as they make their way through the very best and the worst of the genre, attempting to do justice to both the silliest and most sincerely moving aspects of each film. Content warnings provided at the top of each episode.

Leap Year
(2010) For the final episode of Season 2, we took a look at one of Olivia's childhood favorites and tore it a new asshole. Did any of our insight or critique or reflection on objectively terrible lines and behaviors at all impact Olivia's affection for this film? The answer will absolutely not surprise you.

He's Just Not That Into You
(2009) Jesus Christ what an unsatisfying f*****g movie!! We did learn a couple things: 75% of all women are journalists at magazines about nothing. Scarlett Johansson is the only living woman who has ever made hips look good in skinny jeans, and Ben Affleck and Jen Aniston have absolutely electric chemistry?? We are happy for all of them.

Customer Reviews
A funny podcast!
These two are funny and easy to listen to. The deep-ish dives into the histories/backgrounds of the films are interesting, too. Thanks for the great listen!
Like a whiskey with friends
Listening to this podcast is like a warm hilarious fire on a cold, grey winters day.
The hosts are witty, clever, and completely open books. They chat with you like you’re in the living room, they share their day, and then they completely decimate beloved romcoms in a way that still makes you want to watch, even if just to giggle along. Their clever insights and nonstop jokes keep me company on long walks and through dull workdays. I can’t enough!
Whether or not it’s your genre
Tropes and Dreams became my new favorite podcast almost immediately after hearing the name. It’s so fun and actually educational to listen to even though I haven’t seen any of the movies they talk about— their passion is infectious while deeply considered. When will Charlie and Olivia get asked to write their own rom-com script?? Producers.... hello!
