Sleepless in Seattle: Please Date My Sad Dad
CATEGORY: ENGAGED TO THE WRONG DUDE This week we cover 'Sleepless in Seattle'! The 1993 Nora Ephron rom-com starring everyone's favorite duo: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan! We discuss the romance of stalking, the rainy charm of Seattle, whether people ate tiramisu in the 90s, what celebrities LOVE Victor Garber, and and whether kids really are the ultimate matchmakers or if Nora is just manipulating our emotions. Plus we'll dig into whether Bill Pullman's character was really that bad, or just a guy with allergies? And we gush over an adorable young Gabby Hoffman and a wry as ever Rosie O'Donnell.

The Wedding Singer: The Ends Justify The Bits (with Allie Goertz)
CATEGORY: ENGAGED TO THE WRONG DUDEWe're kicking off our new rom-com theme Engaged To The Wrong Dude with the Adam Sandler Drew Barrymore 1998 classic 'The Wedding Singer.' Allie Goertz (Mad Magazine, MST3K) joins us to talk about why we love all the butt grabbing, the pros and cons of blue eye shadow, the insane chemistry between Adam and Drew, feminist Billy Idol, which plot point felt straight out of a porno, and why the goofiness and sweetness of this movie brings us back on board again and again even if a few of the jokes feel dated.

About Time: But Really About Dads (with Jordan Morris)
CATEGORY: LOVEY DOVEY TIMEY WIMEYOur final movie in the collection of time travel rom-coms is the 2013 gentle charmer, About Time, starring Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams. And for this sweet but meandering movie, we're joined by writer and podcaster Jordan Morris (Jordan, Jesse, Go!, Free With Ads, Bubble, Youth Group) who brings up PG-13 Sex Poses, the incredible bargain that is Love Actually, why Rachel McAdams is pretending to be average looking, and asks why Richard Curtis is obsessed with sex workers. Plus we talk about the character that gives us weird chemistry vibes and would stress us out in real life. And... is this movie the prequel to Looper!?This week's episode was edited by Nick Duke: @n_dukieFollow Jordan Morris on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordandavidmorris/Listen to Jordan, Jesse, Go!: https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/jordan-jesse-go/Listen to Free With Ads: https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/free-with-ads/ Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod/Podstruck TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podstruckpodcastCheck out our Patreon and become a Meet Cutie: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod Hosted on Acast.

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.
