A Bit of Fun with Emily

I really think Megara from Hercules said it best when she said "I'm a damsel.  I'm in distress.  I can handle this."  Yep.  All of that can be true at the same time.  But sometimes it takes a little time to get there, and that's definitely what our damsels, our heroines figure out in today's romantic comedies.  And there's nothing wrong with that.  Today we're ta...

I pulled out my lazy internet researching skills to start a little conversation about whether or not opposites do, in fact, attract. Are people really opposites? Or just two souls living different lives who happen to meet? We’ll sort of discuss this through the lens of Barefoot in the Park and Two Weeks Notice (mostly because I really just wanted to talk about Barefoot in the Park :) "Why Barefoot...

"If there's anything worse than a woman living alone, it's a woman saying she likes it" - is a terribly offensive quote, and yet somehow Doris Day and Rock Hudson make horrible behavior seem okay in the 1959 classic Pillow Talk on today's episode. We'll also talk a bit about the 2003 parody, Down With Love.  It's going to be a good time.  You should definitely give it a listen!

I'm not entirely sure I agree with that sentiment, but if Sabrina teaches you nothing else, it's that if you move to Paris not only will you eat a lot of baguettes, but you'll also come back unrecognizable with fancy clothes and a haircut.  In today's episode we're picking apart the 1954 classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn and the 1995 adaptation with Harrison Ford and Julia O...

New episode!   Welcome to season 4 of the podcast where we’re diving into a not so deep conversation about romantic comedies…you know - that problematic corner of pop culture that we’ve all seen and kind of like despite the fact that the relationships are often surface level, no one is communicating well, and the story ends when everyone is happy and shows nothing about the hard stuff that ac...

New episode!  They are romantic, and they are also trash.  My feelings about romantic comedies is complicated.  Let's kick off this season of the pod with a fun conversation about the genre, some of my faves, and how we contain multitudes!
