3 weeks ago

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.

The Wedding Singer: The Ends Justify The Bits (with Allie Goertz)

CATEGORY: ENGAGED TO THE WRONG DUDE

We'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.
