It's the most Jane Austin-y of all Jane Austin Rom Coms! This week Emma and Katie dive into the 2005 Joe Wright Classic Pride and Prejudice. They discuss the importance of a hand flex, how men should be required to read Jane Austin and if this or the BBC miniseries is a better adaptation. They also take time to discuss The People's Joker, Hundreds of Beavers and the Chicago Improv Scene. It's an all around fun time! 

Pride and Prejudice (2005 Joe Wright)

Emma & Katie discuss the seminal 90's teen comedy Clueless, and can't help but get wrapped around the axle on the age gap, but you already knew that, didn't you? We also discuss Bussey Woods, lots of hometown Chicago stuff, Charlie's driving adventures, Emma's Emo past, and SKA!



Fact Check: Apparently Breckin Meyer and Deborah Kaplan divorced in 2014 🤷🏻‍♀️

Clueless!

**Content Warning! This movie deals extensively with self harm in a very dismissive, lighthearted way. It was made in 2006, that was kind of everywhere at the time, sadly. If that is not something you want to listen to, please skip this episode! 



Emma & Katie talk about the 2006 romantic comedy, and also The mid-2000s! Emo culture! Eastern European tax shelter filmmaking! High school pretensions! Gogol Bordello!  Failed Fox tv shows! Katie mispronounces "Shea Wigham" a lot! 



Note: We DID discuss Sossamon before, in The Holiday, of course!

Wr**tc*tters: A Love Story

It's the 1984 Ron Howard original Splash this week! Does it stand the test of time? It does not. BUT it gave us the name Madison. Tune in to hear Emma and Katie's thoughts on how they might hate Tom Hanks the most in this movie, they discuss Disney world and how it's worse now and of course how Eugene Levy has always been a gem.

Splash

Emma & Katie talk the teen Shakespeare romcom She's the Man, and get into Millemial nonsense, opening night flowers, The 10th Kingdom, kissing with tongue, childhood trauma, and, of course, "purewhole." 

She's the Man

Hoppy Spring!! Sing and dance as Emma and Katie learn about the magical world of Andalasia. They chat about why you shouldn't watch this movie under certain substances, Amy Adams and how Disenchanted sucks. That's right this week is all about the 2007 Disney Rom-Com Enchanted!

Enchanted

Emma & Katie get nostalgic and talk about the 2004 Millennial touchstone Garden State. We get into Manic Pixie Dream Girls, Harry Knowles, The Graduate, platonic makeouts, lots of college party talk, and of course, Bilbo Baggins, The Greatest Hobbit of Them All.



Also: Y'all, I cut 15 whole minutes out of this episode, this movie inspired a lot of tangents.

Garden State

Emma & Katie get into some shenanigans this week trying to break up our exes with Charlie Day and Jenny Slate. We also talk quite a bit about escapism and the fascist takeover of the United States, so if you don't wanna listen to that, skip to minute 20 or so, I don't know what to tell ya. 

I Want You Back

This week Emma and Katie dive into the 1960 Romedy Comedy Dramady: The Apartment. Tune in for all things Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, the ridiculousness of NYC rent and much much more!

The Apartment

Allegedly, Emma & Katie talk about the 2000 romcom Miss Congeniality, but not without extended (slightly inaccurate)  Katie rants about both the US corn surplus AND The Twilight Zone movie, a lot of TV talk, and Emma's Bougie Private Christian School for Rich Kids!

Sandy!

Michael Caine!

April 25th!

Miss Congeniality

The Podcast where two friends sit down, discuss, analyze and gush about everyone's guilty pleasure of a movie genre: The Romantic Comedy

TLDR: Emma and Katie discuss rom com movies from a storyteller's perspective
